Yea honestly this was probably the only movie I came close to hating. It was quite off the wall and was meant to show
that the Monkees were not only the "Teen Idols" that there managers made them out to be. They wanted to show that they were
rebelious much like the older youth at the time. Unfortunately what happened was that insead of using overall wierdness
of the film getting people who were not necessarily Monkees fans to like them people still disliked the "Pre-Fab Four".Film
also used its psycadelity (well if you saw it you would know what i mean) to lure those who disliked the Monkes which
backfired and in turn because it was a complete change fom what their fans were used to the Monkees undoubtubly aliennated
many of their fans.
HEAD was The Monkees debut (and only) movie, released in 1968. A flop in threatres, it was pulled out and forgotten.
But, to this day, it remains a hit cult flick for die-hard Monkeemaniacs and just generally weird people. :-)
It all started one day in late 1967. The Monkees all sat around one "smoking grass" (as Davy later admitted) and they all
came up with little stories. Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson put them all together in screenplay format with dialogue and
other galore, and thus, HEAD was born.
Between the months of February and May, 1968 in various locations, the filming for the movie took place. The props and
setups were the same as the show, such as The Monkees' pad, only improvised. The movie was released later that year, but failed.
To this day, it is still at times a mystery why The Monkees released this film, and also what the significance of it was.
One of the reasons is: it was a good-bye. Just a way of saying, 
"Yeah, we're The Monkees, but we're fading, and we're going to go out with a big bang." And that they did!
