27+ min ago (240+ words) Exactly fifty-one years ago, on December 5, 1974, British television bid a surreal, silly, and utterly unforgettable farewell to one of its most revolutionary comedy programs when the final episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus was broadcast on BBC1. Initially, ratings were modest and critical reaction mixed; some reviewers called it "disgusting" or "student humor." But word of mouth, university screenings, and eventual broadcasts in America (first on PBS stations in the mid-1970s) turned Python into a global phenomenon. By the time the final episode aired in 1974, the troupe had already achieved cult immortality. Fifty-one years on, the influence of Monty Python's Flying Circus is everywhere: from Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons to South Park, Key & Peele, and countless YouTube sketch channels. Phrases such as "And now for something completely different," "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" and "It's just a flesh wound" have…...

4+ hour, 40+ min ago (211+ words) Her festive dream is simple; for one of her grown children to nominate her for the Holiday Mom of the Year contest on her favourite daytime talk show, The Zazzy Tims Show. But her hopes are met with familiar indifference from her brood, played by Felicity Jones, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Dominic Sessa, each too absorbed in their own dramas to notice their mother's bruised heart. And Showalter, usually adept with tonal juggling, struggles to find a rhythm here. The film lurches between slapstick and sincerity without ever landing either securely. The supporting cast, Jones wrestling with an American accent, Moretz tasked with a one-note panic arc, and Sessa mostly sidelined, never get enough dimension to make the Clauster clan feel believable. Yet, through all the chaos, Pfeiffer shines. Her performance carries the film's first half with charm and the…...
