Went to a themed beer tasting where they played this movie. People were doing exactly this but shouting the lines before they were said on screen, kind of soured the experience. Good beer though.
If it soured the experience, the beer wasn't that good.

#82Way back in like 2008 or so I went through the interview process of a new job. The last step was a panel interview with the people who would report to me. Their last question was, "what is your favorite movie." When I told them "The Holy Grail" it absolutely sealed the deal for them. It turned out to be a great team and a great fit, too.

#83Shouting out all the lines is optional.

But isn't it a deeper commentary into English culture with Gin since the elderberry is what is used to make Gin from just alcohol? They didn't make a joke about grapes=>wine, or peat moss=>scotch.
I thought the basis of gin was juniper berries, not elderberries (although you can make elderberry gin in the same way as sloe gin)

#85You get extra points if you come in costume. Shouting out all the lines is optional.

#86You just know that every theater audience will be shouting all the lines along with the movie. That alone will make it worth going.
The only downside was the theater's bar was closed for some reason, so no white Russians could be had.

Don't worry, it took me years to figure out that "South Park, Bigger Longer and Uncut" was a double entendre.
For me, it was the Blink-182 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

#89In this day and age I think Life of Brian needs a re-launch more than the Holy Grail.
