I'm not even going to go into the whole how I don't like Monty Python schtick. Just not my poison. I bought this as a gift for my husband for Christmas and the encode on this DVD is SO horrible the only reason it's not going back is because he threw away the original wrapping. Every motion in this DVD is plagued with lines that surround the object like an aura as it's moving. It's pathetic they would release a "special edition" with such crappy quality encoding. I don't even know if he's going to watch it all the way through b/c the lines are so bad. So for us...waste of money. (I could've told you that regardless of the lines! LOL! Sorry men...couldn't resist!)
