Hot Fuzz.

[Cactus Drags]

Loads of movie references, from the very subtle to the outright rip-offs, and all of them hilarious. I can't believe I was the only person out of my friends who noticed the old couple who owned the pub are the couple who own the Winchester in Shaun of the Dead.

[Hutch2004]

That's what I meant. Not one of my friends noticed.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Marlene from Spaced owns the pub in Hot Fuzz.

One of the other neighbourhood watch women was the "cockacidal maniac" from Shaun.

They're all a big happy group and Wright/Park/Pegg/Frost tend to keep the same groups of extras and randoms on board a lot of the time which is excellence.

However best of all, my love for Adam Cornish was satisfied by his role as the newspaper reporter

Was it Jessica Stevenson as Pegg's ex-gf at the start? I'm pretty certain they were her eyes.

Also, did anyone else's screening have the trailer for the Mitchell and Webb magicians movie? Can't wait to watch it...Between that and the annoying PC/Mac adverts they dominated screen time up until the start of the film.

Yeah, I got the 'Magicians' trailer as well. Personally, I'm more excited for 'Run, Fatboy, Run'

And I thought the same about the pub owners but a quick IMDB search tells me that they're not.

[GA!]

We got no trailers or anything at our cinema.

[Farmer Reil]

Going to see this at some point over the weekend with friends up in Bristol. Can't wait, it looks hilarious.

On another unrelated note, do not watch Epic Movie. Not only was it shite, but the fucking cinema didn't even turn out the lights properly. Worst two hours ever.

Well what was you expecting? Surely one of the previous "Movie" films would've shed light on how seriously bad this one would be.

[Nerf]

Eh, I liked ALL the Scary Movies. Just Date Movie sucked hard.

[NobBe Nobbs]

FUCK.

I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BADLY NOW BUT HAVE NO MONEY.

FUCK.

I'll confess to not liking Shaun of the Dead at all, so I wasn't expecting to like this, but I enjoyed it. It was a bit long for what it is, and ocassionally was a bit weak, but had some very funny moments and plenty of little giggles. Glad I went.

As for Epic Movie, after seeing Hot Fuzz, one of my mates suggested we go and see Epic Movie. I've never had to be so blunt with the guy before, but I had to get across just how little I want to see that.

[Jook]

I was really disappointed with it.

It was okay- but I'd be in no hurry to see it again, whereas I've seen SOTD about a dozen times and I'm still not bored.

[Summers]

I need to see it with a bunch of lads to fully enjoy it, I went with a girl & it's always different. I imagine if I'da been with my mates in my living room with some pizza or something I'da been crackin' up at the funny parts.

Get him!

[Timmoru Suzuki]

I just didn't find it funny at all, it was over-rated. In my more cyynical moments I'd even go as far as to say it only got so much mainstream praise because it was British and because it was an example of British cinema doing something unique that appealed to youth audiences, and the bandwagon has gone on from there. Of course, thats only in more more cynical moments, and I don't doubt that a core audience genuinely loved it.

And now I'm running! Just remember I liked Hot Fuzz, and if you kill me you'll never get the antidote.

I saw this earlier with a bunch of mates and it just made me love the fact that I'm from the West Country. Awesome film. One downside is that Nick Frost had a Rovers shirt on, but meh, he's supposed to be dumb.

I liked Shaun Of The Dead more, though.

[Farmer Reil]

Fucking brilliant movie

One of the main characters wearing a Rovers shirt (which is a bit weird since Sandford is south of the Avon, but we can't fault their enthusiasm ¬_¬), and two Bill Bailey's, what more can you ask for? It was brilliant.

So many hilarious bits...

Vaulting the fence to boot the old biddy in the face as she reloads her shotgun... That made me laugh so hard

and "I've got a license for THIS one..."

Also, the Rovers fan's mum was called Irene. I thought that was clever, although possibly unintentionally so.

I thought it was shocking compared to Shaun of the dead, which was awesome. I think it made me laugh about 3 times

The Brain Freeze Part, The Jumping of the fences and I loved the inclusion of "What you want from the shops ? Cornetto!"
