Much as I appreciate Noel, Julian has always been my favourite of the pair with his surreal, satirical take on various forms of long-suffering, driven, fanatical, unfashionable and slightly tragic artists such as the under-appreciated jazz maverick, the reclusive and controversial film-maker who insists all his writing be buried in forests to avoid human contamination, the self-aggrandizing solitary ':' explorer who dreams of being remembered in centuries to come, the ridiculed 'cream-poet', the elbow-patch connoisseur, the Santana-esque priest Rudy "I go by many names View 1 comment. Jan 02, Therese rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-in Best coffee table book ever! Being a huge Boosh fan, I was delighted when I saw how much care and effort went into this book. Open it to any page and you will be assaulted by the visual spectacle of life in the Zooniverse or the Nabootique via photos, stories, and illustrations from all of the main and recurring characters of the tv series. Dec 04, Jenny rated it really liked it. Oh My Mighty Boosh! The book is beautiful. The pictures are beautiful. The illustrations are wonderful. Some pieces plucked from the screen, plenty of new fodder as well. Both in silence, and aloud. Turns out, Im a good Bollo. Anyways, its super-great. I only gave it 4 stars right The Mighty Book of Boosh, as I feel that it needs another read-through before getting the 5th. Just as the first time I watched the show, I was intrigued, but hadn't yet settled into The Mighty Book of Boosh land of the boosh. By the 2nd episode, I saw the genius it The Mighty Book of Boosh. Oh, and the kitties liked the ribbon book-mark. Theirs was an hallucinatory world, where gorillas and other beasts talked, strange characters lurked in the forests, and conversations were often mind-spinning. There was singing, dancing, and all kinds of antics. They really went all-out on the book — the hardcover is glossy and embossed. Although the show was broadcast on television, this is very much an adult book with much swearing and sexual references. If you love the show as I do! The book is a hodge-podge of colorful drawings, photos, handwritten lists, and preliminary sketching of designs incorporated into the show. There are a few new stories too. Not all of it works: some of the sizing made a couple of journal pages unreadable you could use a magnifying glass! If you consider yourself a fan you should NOT be without this book! Dec 20, Lee Thompson rated it it was amazing. I love the Boosh. Easily one of my favorite comedy shows. For those who have never heard of them this book will seem like the scribblings of either a mad hatter or a retard, but to those who enjoy creative, surreal, and slightly raunchy humor, this is fun stuff! Lots of great stuff that isn't in the show, too. Mar 30, Mary Bernard rated it The Mighty Book of Boosh was amazing. Check it. It's sheer liquid wonderment. Apr 25, Tara rated it really liked it Shelves: books-i-own. Well I read the pocket version but it basically the same. Except the pocket version has more stuff. Jun 08, Maddy rated The Mighty Book of Boosh it was amazing. May 01, Mia Ferraioli rated it really liked it. Waited a while for this book due to the pandemic and delays in shipping and it was definitely worth the The Mighty Book of Boosh. I loved this book from start to finish. Yes it has a lot of the punchlines from the show in here at least from what I seen off of YouTube ; however, it was done in a way The Mighty Book of Boosh didn't feel pandering or rushed.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Uk Versus Usa at the Shockwaves Nme Awards 2007
    STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 8PM MONDAY 29 TH JANUARY Insert logo UK VERSUS USA AT THE SHOCKWAVES NME AWARDS 2007 Expect blood, sweat and tears as we prepare for what will undoubtedly be one big dirty rock’n’roll battle of the bands – and of the nations – at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 . The best of British – Arctic Monkeys , Muse and Kasabian – will take on stateside success stories My Chemical Romance and The Killers on March 1 at Hammersmith Palais. Let battle commence! This year, there’s no one clear leader but FIVE bands that dominate the nominations list. With four nominations each, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Kasabian, The Killers and My Chemical Romance have been chosen by the fans to fight it out on the night. For the past two years, it’s been British bands sweeping the board, but this year The Killers and My Chemical Romance may very well make the 2007 ceremony a stateside success story. Arctic Monkeys made NME Awards history last year by scooping the Award for both Best New Band and Best British Band in the same year, in addition to winning Best Track and scoring a nomination for Best Live Band . Sheffield’s favourites have matched their achievement, with four nominations this year for Best British Band, Best Live Band, Best Album and Best Music DVD. Arctic Monkeys said: “Very nice, we didn’t think we would get any this year! It seems weird for us to be alongside them [the competition] because we still feel like a little band. When it’s your own thing you don’t really see yourself alongside The Killers and Kasabian.” The Monkeys have more than one tough fight on their hands if they want to claim the Best British Band title for the second year running, though.

In January 2011, the scheduling plans of Britain’s biggest TV station, BBC 1, were leaked to the press. After the recent success of BBC comedies such as Outnumbered and My Family, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen apparently told his team of producers that BBC Comedy was becoming ‘too middle class’, and failing in its responsibility to appeal to working class viewers (Gammell, 2011; Revoir, 2011; Leith, 2011).
