I'm moving Shawn of the Dead to the top of the Netflix queue

Micro review of "Hot Fuzz": Fuckin' brill.


I laughed. A lot. The accent was not "Trainspotting" level difficult, but there were bits of dialogue I'd like to hear again, or watch with subcaptions. The music director should be given a cookie. It was immensely satisfying to watch each literary point get carefully set up and then, one by one, get knocked down again. They tease, though, with the last one. "Did we forget about that? Ooh, maybe we did."
I would like to thank my movie-going partner for her patience, and am immensely pleased that my lack of a sense of direction only meant that I missed most of the trailers. Which means that if folks want to go again and I can schedule it that I still have some crappy trailers to see.

Oh I totally want to go as soon as I'm feeling a bit better. Maybe we can arrange something this coming Sunday with Aelf? BTW have you watched Simon's series "Spaced" yet? If not I have the boxed set with all the special features. You really need to see it.

I have not seen all of it--we watched a few episodes at Erik's. And the next three weeks are going to be crazy busy, so I don't know how available I'm going to be. Trying to get to Seattle this weekend, Idaho the next and Florida after that. Because I'm insane.

Well then let's plan a Spaced marathon for when you're done travelling and life has settled down a little for you again. Sound good?

Yay!

I liked Shaun of the Dead, so I thought I should see this one too. Maybe this weekend.

Alas, I can't go this weekend, but don't let that stop you--go on your own or with other people. We'll catch up later.

Ooo, I need to go see that! I totally missed out on the sneak-preview at WonderCon because I happened to fall into an excellent conversation with the convention's 75-year-old founder. So... y'know... geek priorities.

Thanks for the review.

For you? Anything.
