Disputatio:Monty Python's Life of Brian

Too short. --Roland2 16:34, 5 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Made a bit longer, but still very short. Indifferent whether to keep or whether to make this a redirect to Vita Briani. --UV 23:51, 5 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm partial, I think this scene is great, and on a latin vicipaedia, might be a noteworthy occurence in pop culture. I'll expand the entry, but I still don't know whether to keep it a separate article or a heading under Vita Briani, but should this be the proper title?--Ioshus Rocchio 23:57, 5 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

on en:, the title is en:Romani ite domum (with en:Romanes eunt domus redirecting). I like that better. --UV 00:13, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the "delenda". Thanks for expanding ... I did not know the backgrounds of this single word. ;-) --Roland2 05:43, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC) I thought it has to do something with football and not with art. --Roland2 05:45, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved. --UV 22:54, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm...maybe should move it back? The funny part is that it's romani eunt domus, not the correct title. Why do you like it better, UV?--Ioshus Rocchio 22:57, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

en:Romani ite domum mentions two forms: Romanes eunt domus (wrong, obviously) and Romani ite domum (correct). Where did you get the form Romani eunt domus from? from a typo, ;]--Ioshus Rocchio 23:36, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the movie (if the entry at en: is correct) Romanes eunt domus is written only once, while Romani ite domum is written a hundred times. I would therefore perhaps prefer the correct form (with the other form redirecting there). But if you like a different title better, feel free to change it! --UV 23:05, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen the movie, UV?--Ioshus Rocchio 23:36, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have seen this scene once. I do not remember whether I have actually seen the entire movie. In my view, the British humour is pleasant if digested in neatly-sized pieces, but a nuisance if it comes in chunks too large to be devoured. ;-) → Ten minutes of Mr. Bean or Monty Python: that's fine, but an entire movie? ;-) --UV 23:47, 6 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was more asking about if you had seen this scene. I tend to agree with you about british humor, it's not to be endured for long peiods of time. But I thought this was a raucously funny scene, I don't know, where and how did you learn latin? In america, and britain latin was tought through rather brutal means, with whippings and lashings for students who did poorly on tests and assignments. So it alludes to that aspect of latin, as well as the humor of the classroom, where no one can remember accusative of motion though they've been learning it all year, or no one can remember ite even though its the shortest plural imperative in the language. Maybe I'm biased, as a teacher, but I think the humor is in the misspelling. =] --Ioshus Rocchio 01:09, 7 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]
