Never watched it, huh? That, my friend, is poor research. 
PS - I'm not saying I would ever watch TLOB ever again, and I wouldn't commend it to anyone either. I do not consider the film to be a mockery of Christ, though. Perhaps a mockery of Christians - indeed a mockery of many things (which is the Python's raison d'etre). But there you have it. I agree with most of the brothers here, whose tone is that it may be lawful, but it is certainly not expedient. There is no profit in watching it, whatsoever. | It was nearly banned in Northern Ireland because of its blasphemy.
