A good movie

I had been chasing this movie for many years and finally got my hands on it (I actually found it for 2 euro in a second hand shop). It was the last movie directed by Peter Jackson which I hadn’t seen and it is easily the weirdest, most messed up movie he has made so far. Basically, it is pretty much like the Muppets on acids. Indeed, those puppets smoke, drink, take drugs, urinate, vomit, have sex and even shoot some porn. Honestly, I never really cared about the Muppets but I thought that those were pretty awesome. I mean, they did look pretty ugly but they were quite hilarious. On the downside, I must admit the whole thing was pretty random as some weird and outrageous scenes take place the one after the other without much continuity. Back then, Peter Jackson was the master of the nasty movies and, when watching this flick, it is actually quite difficult to imagine that 10 years later, he would direct a huge production such as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy and would become one of the biggest moguls in Hollywood at the same level as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas or James Cameron. To conclude, even though it is quite outrageous, I thought it was actually pretty neat and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Peter Jackson’s work.
