Ha! Check out this press release from our pals at Frozen Pictures, whose new movie, The Seventh Python, premieres Thursday as the opening selection of the American Cinematheque's Mods & Rockers Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood:
"Weird Al" Yankovic raves about The Seventh Python:
"WITHOUT QUESTION, ONE OF THE FINEST DOCUMENTARIES I'VE SEEN!
(about Neil Innes) (so far this year)!"
"WITHOUT QUESTION, ONE OF THE FINEST DOCUMENTARIES I'VE SEEN!

HOLLYWOOD (JONAS PR) - Grammy-winning, million-selling, Top 10 recording artist, parodist, singer and accordionist 'Weird Al' Yancovic has stunned the show business world and brought the art of the 'movie quote' to a sublime new level of greatness in his outrageous praise of The Seventh Python, Frozen Pictures' nonfiction film about fellow satirist, Rutle and Monty Python collaborator Neil Innes, which premieres June 26th at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, opening the ninth Mods & Rockers Film Festival.
"Weird Al" was among a select group-- including Innes, festival organizer Martin Lewis and comic Emo Philips-- to attend an early advance screening of the film on the Sunset Strip. As he prepares to embark on his Summer 2008 Straight Outta Lynwood concert tour that opens Friday June 27 in Henderson, Nevada, he took time to send producers a quote that sums up his feelings about the film:
"The Seventh Python is without question one of the finest documentaries I've seen about Neil Innes so far this year."
Blue Smoke & Mirrors Inc., the design firm that created The Seventh Python graphics and ad campaign, slapped the quote on the premiere poster that's showing up across Hollywood this weekend.
By the time the film's producers read the quote, it was too late.
"It sounded right," says BS&M's creative director Joaquin Blanco, whose native language is Portuguese. "In my business, you don't always have time to read the fine print."
Innes, who's traveling from London to Los Angeles for the promotion leading to the premiere and his June 27th solo show at the Egyptian, said he thought 'Weird Al' captured the spirit perfectly.
Tickets for The Seventh Python on July 26th at 7:30 pm and the Neil Innes concert on July 26th at 7:30 pm are available at www.modsandrockers.com
