Life of Brian is arguably better for a ensmuggening Python based education.
Nah, Life of Brian was just decent commentary. Holy Grail was silly in a pointless way that resonated with Nerd Boys in the 2000s.
We grew up to appreciate Life of Brian more but you're right
Does Holy Grail not resonate with Nerd Boys now?
I'm a Nerd Man now, I can't say.
Yeah me too. I'm just thinking it over when I can introduce it to my boy. He's still too young, but probably a couple of years. I think I was like 11
I watched it at 11, spent half the movie thinking that I had half a medieval movie on the VCR tape (👴) because it didn't make any sense.
At the black knight scene I got the joke and rewatched the whole thing several times a month for a while.
I kinda feel like kids these days are exposed to weird shit earlier than we were. I'd worry less about him being too young and more worried about the psychic damage you're gonna take when he thinks it's boring.
I was worried he was going to be like that with Harry Potter. When I started reading it to him he fell in love with it almost right away. I have to cut off the time I spend on it because he'll just beg me to keep reading all night if I could.
Yeah but fewer people get the references
They didn't get most references in the 80s/90s either... this is the reason why nerds seemed weird...
If they don't get the references, they're just casuals.
Really? Maybe I have been missing them my whole life.
Yup, but if you try to tell the youth of today that, they'd never believe you
