Step away from the novelty record!

More sleep, DIY and watching DVDs - not exactly the tonic for late January blues. Still I was quite pleased with the choice of films. Superman Returns was ignored last summer as it looked a little cheesy and I haven't been sucked in by the popularity of X-men. How wrong we were. Well recommended! The second DOOVD was A History of Violence directed by Cronenberg. I nearly wrote this off at the start with its flat monologue and incredibly slow pace but that all changed after 15 minutes. Bit sexually charged as well with Viggo 'Aragorn' Mortensen getting treated to cheerleader sex from his missus - lucky boy.

I was going to add a link to the Cilit Bang featuring MC Barry Scott rave tune but I've a feeling it's going to be everywhere in a week's time especially with downloads pummeling the charts. It follows the steps of Michael Winner sampling in the Esure TV ad with 'calm down dear, its only a commercial'. Search and destroy I'd say before the chav-muppets use it for their mobilephones.

Other news is the Friends of Ted Festival. I like the idea of dressing up as a vicar after my nun outfit and some of the events over the weekend look good. Anyone for Buckeroo Speed Dating, Ludo Aerobics or the Ferrero Rocher Quiz Night?

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo
