Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz is the new comedy by the makers of Shaun of the Dead. Do not let anyone tell you anything about this film, the less you know, the funnier and more enjoyable it will be. It's better written and plotted than the vast majority of "big" Hollywood films, and it's very, very clever.

I genuinely had to resist the urge to buy a ticket for the very next session.

Shaun of the Dead rocked, I still watch it from time to time! I saw the previews for Hot Fuzz... I can't wait to see it! Though odds are I'll have to wait until it comes to DVD. But then I usually seem to prefer doing that. I always get into trouble at movie theaters... at the Spiderman preview showing I could very well have gotten arrested.

I love movies like that.

I am very eager to see Hot Fuzz.

I felt that way about the Tenacious D film Pick of Destiny. Not cause it was clever. Just cause it was so hilariously wrong! ;)

I saw Hot Fuzz the other day at Acmi when they had the director and actors down for a Q&A After the session. Was Very good! I laughed myself into severe agony.

There was this bit.... then this other bit.. and then.. oh you just have to go and see it!

David and Margaret gave it four stars apiece. Margaret gave the impression she thought it was better than Shaun of the Dead.

I feel the same way about this movie as I did Napoleon Dynamite.

It was mildly enjoyable, not the sort of thing you'd pay to see twice, and wait-a-minute-why-is-everybody-saying-this-is-the-best-thing
-since-pre-sliced-bread?

I'd recommend seeing it with a group of friends, as I think it's one of those movies.

Napoleon Dynamite rulz!!!!

But Hot Fuzz is the real deal. Fantastic stuff and better than Shaun of the Dead by the smallest of margins.

Of course, Spaced Seasons 1 and 2 will always have my heart.

Lee pretty much did that. Okay, it wasn't the very next session but it was one only a day or two later. He took the two boys and then took me.

We loved it. We've just ordered Spaced from Amazon UK and have bought the Hot Fuzz soundtrack which is being played to death.

Oh yes, it will be a buyer when it comes out.
