[Movie] Hot Fuzz

Did anyone else see Hot Fuzz last night? Hysterical and hilarious from beginning to end, IMO. You have to love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's peanut butter-and-jelly relationship, the fact that their most gory scenes (along with Shaun of the Dead) and horror scenes are more effective than the films they're paying tribute to. Like SOTD it managed to be just as entertaining a buddy cop flick as the mainstream ones.

Timothy Dalton was so great in it and his opening line gets the ball rolling for the jokes. The big reveal towards the end of the movie was also hilarious.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Plus, it seems there's another Simon Pegg movie coming out in Fall. However, this isn't by the same crew ("Run Fat Boy, Run"). David Schwimmer is the director though o__O Evidently, they met on the Band of Brothers set. I personally had no clue Simon Pegg was on Band of Brothers. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to it, despite different writers.

I'd sat through the entire BoB miniseries three times and it was the third time around did I notice Simon Pegg's two-second speaking role in the first or second episodes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
