Hooray For Hillywood!

It's time for me to share my next obsession, which we all know is a celebratory time! Almost as good as when I finally learn to perfect sarcasm.
Anyway, it's a YouTube show called "The Hillywood Show." The YouTube channel is called JckSparrow and the videos are hilarious! If you've haven't yet seen them, here are two of my favorite episodes:

And if you don't have time to watch a full episode, here's a preview:

Pretty much what the show does is combine many different characters and tell their story and how they get into funny situations. The plotline it follows is of Jack Sparrow, and how he is transported using a DeLorian to a variety of different places, where other characters arise (Ed Wood, Mort Rainey, Anakin, Sweeney Todd, Mr. Beetle and many others.) Other characters also have cameo roles, like Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, Napolean Dynamite, Sam, etc. If you haven't noticed already, most of these characters are portrayed by Johnny Depp, an actor who I love and have seen many of his movies, so it is fun to see The Hillywood Show make parodies of each of these movies. If you are a Johnny Depp fanatic, you will love it!
The show is brilliantly made. Obviously, the creators (two sisters) put a lot of work into making it perfect. The costumes and sets are almost identical to the original ones.
Unfortunately, the Hillywood Show is not as funny now. The episodes that follow Jack ended at fifteen, because the creators no longer had a DeLorian. Now, to keep their viewers, they have started following what's popular, like Twilight, and focusing more on the number of views than the actual content, at least in my opinion. The videos are still great and very impressive, but they just aren't what they used to be, and that makes me sad.
But all sadness aside, the show is great and you should definitely check it out.
I would write more, but autumn is calling and I am going to go apple picking for the second time this month.
Enjoy the weekend and remember: Hooray For Hillywood!
