TIFF2012 - Condensed Mayhem - Volume 4, Bizarro

Just a quick little post today, detailing the most peculiar film I've seen in quite awhile ...

A Liar's Autobiography
Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam

Penis rollercoasters, floating breasts, a GraveCam, a passed out in her gin-cup Queen Mum, countless forms of animation, a Freud Barbie voiced by Cameron Diaz - and I'm only scratching the surface.  I must admit to not knowing much about Monty Python.  I think their movies and bits were pretty hilarious but I can't recite from them at will like many diehard fans.  From what I do know, and what I learned last night, this incredibly weird movie was a perfect tribute to a Python that left us, and his comrades, too soon. 

We were joined last night by the film's three directors and Python Terry Jones (incidentally, one of whom is Terry's son).  At the film's conclusion, and after a hilarious Q & A, they all led the audience in a Sing-A-Long of this gem:
