Daydreamer's Film Talk

As per someone's request, my next review will be on The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. I'll admit, because its been done so many times before and the films themselves are long, I was skeptical, but I will do my best. I'll also quickly review the first Hobbit film and my expectations for the upcoming installment.

I'm nearing the end of my three part review of The Mighty Boosh. Now all I have to do is review the third and final season and leave my final thoughts on the show as a whole. If only it were that easy. The final season of The Mighty Boosh didn't air until two years after the second one because the show itself was on tour for most of that time. As with season 2, the setting has changed again, but not as drastically. The flat is no longer the beginning of episodes and the series instead center on Howard and Vince running a second hand shop called the Nabootique for their friend and owner Naboo. I read in another person's review that Fielding and Barrett said in interviews that they wanted to take Howard and Vince to their extremes. Taking that into account, I felt this was a bad move as Howard is more of a Debbie Downer when things go wrong for him and the always flamboyant Vince is even more self absorbed to the point that he cares more about a colorful cape than helping ...

My last post was about the first season of The Mighty Boosh. As the title suggests, I'm going to review as best as I can the second season of the show and all the while acknowledging the changes the show goes through. To start off, Howard and Vince are no longer zookeepers and the setting is completely changed from the Zooniverse to an apartment (or flat) which is owned by the shaman Naboo and also inhabited by Bollo, who is now Naboo's animal spirit. Since Howard and Vince are no longer zookeepers, they're essentially retconned as two friends in a band trying to make it big. Their wardrobe is also more colorful and outlandish, or at least Vince's are: The big issue I had the most was continuity, mainly because there is little to no continuity on the show. Bollo died in the first season but is brought back and events that happened in each episode are never mentioned again. Other than that, the second season in my opinion is the best of the whole series in visuals a...

I know I said in my introduction that I would review films, but I think T.V. shows can be just as thought provoking and sometimes better than most films. Ironically, the show I want to review can probably be argue as neither of those things, although it's a hell of a lot of fun to watch. As the title says that show is The Mighty Boosh, a surreal comedy from the U.K. The first time I laid eyes ever on this show was during a commercial for it on Adult Swim, which was playing it at the time. I never stood up to watch it because it aired at 1 a.m. and I like to usually sleep during that time, also I was only 14 and   had strict bed rules. I didn't come across it again until recently when I was looking up another British comedian on YouTube. The suggested section showed clips of the show and I was instantly hooked. As I do with most new things I like, I looked up everything on it and made it my mission to know everything there is to know about it. Just from the logo you can te...
