...with other people.
Now don't get me wrong: I love Monty Python as much as everyone else in the English-speaking world but I've come to dread watching it at school, with friends, or anywhere else with people.
It's a movie that EVERYONE seems to have watched at least once and everyone likes it. And with good reason. What I hate about it is that it's so quotable. Everytime we watch it on some free-day at school or if I'm just watching it with a bunch of people EVERYONE has to start quoting every. single. scene.
"TIS BUT A FLESH WOUND"
"ZOMG! I LOVE THE CASTLE ANTHRAX"
"RYAN! RYAN! THE KNIGHTS OF NI ARE COMING UP! I JUST LOVE THAT SCENE!"
ETC. ETC. ETC.
I cringe everytime someone talks during that movie.
And you know what the worst part is? I'M one of these people. Just like everyone else I feel the urge to quote every single line and attempt every single accent! I cannot help it!
From now on I'm seriously going to watch this glorious movie by myself and quote it to myself.
RANT OVER
Opinions? Anyone else know what I mean? Any other movies get the same reactions?
