"Holy Grail" toes the line.

"Life of Brian" jumps right over it.

I haven't made anywhere near as intense a study of Near Eastern politics and culture at the time of Christ as I have of arthurian literature, and I have only seen Life of Brian once and Monty Python and the Holy Grail about 5x, so I'm afraid I cannot answer that question!

Do you think "Life of Brian" is blasmephous?

yeah ... the iffy things in Holy Grail are just this side of funny, imo, and I could see how someone of a more sensitive nature could find it quite offensive. I personally think it is hilarious, and reference it often in my life. Like my friend who was crawling up the stairs because her knee was injured, but insisted it wasn't that bad. "It's just a flesh wound."

LOB, on the other hand, crosses the line way too many times to the point that it is no longer funny.

I fall asleep during movies all the time, but only if I am at home. I never do when I'm at the theater.
