Life of Brian

Hello, and welcome to the Bennington Banner's arts and entertainment blog. This is hopefully the first of many ramblings and rantings about music, movies, theater, visual art and anything else that might fall under the broad category of "art."

But first of all, maybe I had better explain the title of this blog. Or rather, thank the surviving members of Monty Python for the title of this blog. "Life of Brian" was the second of Monty Python's three full-length movies, and in my opinion quite possibly the best. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. If you have seen it, let me just say that the title of this blog does not mean that I am comparing myself to Brian of Nazareth in any way, shape or form, nor insinuating that anything I have done with my life is similar to the great deeds that Brian does throughout the film. In other words, it's just a really bad pun.

On a more serious note, this blog will give you, the readers, a chance to talk directly to me. So comment away. Let me know what I'm missing in Arts Weekend that you think should be covered, or fire away with any other suggestions you might have for me.
