@@young321bookie how do you know? Presuming God’s judgment is blasphemous and so that is a sin within itself you demon.

Call me strange but it brings me comfort just to listen to his voice, so sad that he's got dementia now and from what I hear he's nonverbal. ;__;

Most people I've heard of say he was actually the nicest of the pythons. I think he had a bit of an inferiority complex and that explained why he was so passionate about things. I remember cleese saying that in the group he was able to 'hide his deficiencies', which I guess means he thinks he wasn't that funny, an has famously said the two had almost nothing in common. And Michael got so much credit for being so darn funny that it was terrible to see him hardly ever in Ripping Yarns. I gave up after a couple of shows. Anyway, he's dead now, not sure where this guy gets the idea that he was a devil. I think personally most of the pythons have people who really dislike them for professional reasons, except for Mike. But I read an article on the guy who sued them over Holy Grail and Spamelot, and it does seem he was done wrong by them. As Eric has said, they are all famously bad with anything thats business related.

Night night

I'm not at all surprised by the Buster Keaton influence, Terry J. was really good at pantomime. There are numerous examples in the Python catalogue. RIP, you marvelous being.

Shameful, maybe you'll be joining him/it soon enough.

The biggest crime is that he liked directing so much, because in life of brian by far his characters were the funniest and those you wanted to see more of. He could have done a sequel with brians mother. But its odd that he never directed much of anything after the eighties because he was such a good director. If even john cleese sings your praises as a director you've got to be good. And they should have had him in Labyrinth.

Rest In Peace you beautiful angel. Your now with dr Chapman and you became MR creosote

Love you Mr. Jones, thank you for your wonderful humor. WHAT!?? THE CURTAINS??

Benny McGhee You can see it as far back as a January 2009 interview where he was stuttering a bit and searching for words, but nowhere near as obvious as it had become in 2013 interviews. It must be very difficult for his family and loved ones to know that just as recent as 2015, he was still having full length conversations, albeit it with stutters, lapses in memory and hesitations/pauses, but still able to fully communicate with language and sadly now, is unable to speak at all anymore, or even communicate in writing. There are a couple of 2015 interviews where his speech had become even worse.

@Aslan T Vorlon I appreciate the kindess of others and their intent, regardless of religious backgrounds. If they want to bless me they have good intent and I will take it without having to believe :)

He was my favorite Python, and that is saying a lot. A LOT.

The beautiful and magnificent Mr Terry Jones. Thank you for all the great laughter and entertainment.

aka gemthetwit. Thanks for answering my questions. I'm especially glad of the Mr Creosote answer - he's my favourite character!

Hero

What I need is a) a Terry Jones box, complete with all he's done outside of Python (got those), and b) a lovingly made Terry Jones Retro at the next Berlinale. Glad I found that out.

RIP Terry Jones (1942-2020).

Yellowbeard was the other python film that should have been a python film.

'monsieur creosote' I can't watch it it without laughing so much I get a stomach ache. Yes I know it's a bit silly, but so what. Cheers Terry, and all the Python, team. ;-)

Only 1 year later , he could not speak a word. That's what dementia does to you. RIP.

Wrong. This is early 2014. There are interviews from August 2015 (over a year and a half later) where he is still speaking: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYOEl9CPeJDMadI.html & kzread.info/dash/bejne/emyBmY99fqq3lM4.html. His speech stopped in 2016.

:D

Buster Keaton was about as funny as a house falling on your head.
