    With Neil Innes, who (like Douglas Adams) is often thought of as "Python-adjacent"....

    Innes, yes. Adams... some of the Pythons liked him, and he doesn't
    have much direct contact (TJ turned one of his jokes into a book, JC
    appeared one of his Doctor Who episodes)...

    You forgot Fierce Creatures, a Cleese film staring Cleese and
    including Palin based on a sketch by Palin & Jones.
    Also not a Python film.

    Didn't forget it, but omitted it...however, unlike its non-sequel, there = was a
    fairly blatant Python reference where a shapely woman dives into a
    tank to
    perform with the seals, and an observer remarks upon her "beautiful > plu=
    mage"....

    (I suppose Cleese's stripping sequence in "Wanda" could be seen
    as incorporating
    elements of his signature "silly walk")....r

    "Fierce Creatures" was a non-sequel to "A Fish Called Wanda", not the
    other way around.

    Let us brace ourselves for the effect it may have on the English
    language -- behold, "Absolutely Anything":

    http://is.gd/rONQuZ

    A Terry Jones film with John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin
    signed to appear in it.

    That is not a Monty Python film.

    Terry did "Wind in the Willows" in 1996 which had Eric Idle, John
    Cleese and Michael Palin. It wasn't a Monty Python film.

    I don't understand the point you are making. If they call it a Monty

    Only a guess, but I am presuming you never followed Fleetwood
    Mac or
    John Mayall?

    Or he contends that the Moody Blues only released one album....r

    It's a Terry Jones film called "Absolutely Anything".

    The name Monty Python is not being used by anyone but the media and
    those stupid enough to believe them.

    Are solo albums of Moody Blues members also Moody Blues albums?

    They're not calling it a Monty Python film. They're calling a Terry
    Jones film.

    Some in the media looking for a story where there is none are calling
    it a Monty Python film.

    Mac

    No, I'm not 50 and lame.
