Trailer for The World's End, the final film in Edgar Wright's "Cornetto Trilogy" (following Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz).
This trailer is fried gold. I am so looking forward to this movie.

Off the top of my head, I would have called them the Fence Jumping trilogy. But the Cornetto thing is pretty nice (and so recognizably an Edgar Wright bit of cleverness).

A pub crawl down the Mumbles Mile, near Swansea, was where and when the wonderchicken monicker was born. Back in the day, the objective was a pint in each of the 20 pubs, but apparently today the pub count is down to 9, which hardly seems like a challenge.
Anyway, hooray for crawls. I haven't been on one for decades.

More than any other film (and there are quite a few I'm excited by), I've been waiting for this one. With their casual and chatty twitter feeds, and their goofy commentaries, I feel sort of like I've grown up with these guys since Spaced.
I know their opinions on movies and comics, and what kinds of dinner Frost is making. It's a strangely inclusive relationship they have with their fans that makes it seem like we are part of their gang. That is why I love what they do.
I'm excited about this, because of how deliriously excited they are about it.

Well, Fish, for about one hour and 16 minutes it was quite an enjoyable little buddy movie and I actually left it paused at 20 minutes for about 26 hours. Then I got to 1:17 and the universe exploded.

I woke up chuckling this morning and giggled in the shower.

Now that you've watched those, Michael Roberts, try a hunt for some of the outtakes from their films. The outtakes for Hot Fuzz are especially fun.

Well, the_artificer, Spaced is not doing it for me. There's some funny stuff but it feels poorly paced and there's too much of that we're-English-and-therefore-awkward feeling about it. Maybe later eps are better. (I bailed shortly into the second.)

Stick with Spaced for a bit longer. The second season is especially wonderful & clever.

Hot Fuzz is the Chekov's Gun of movies. EVERYTHING comes back later, even things that seem like throwaway jokes. For example...

DS Andy Wainwright: You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.That's funny enough on its own. But what happens when they return to the village? They are first attacked by a farmer. And then, just when you think they're safe, who pops up?
DS Andy Cartwright: Everyone and their mums is packin' round here!
Nicholas Angel: Like who?
DS Andy Wainwright: Farmers.
Nicholas Angel: Who else?
DS Andy Cartwright: Farmers' mums.

That entire act of the movie is one long stream of quotes from and references to the first two. It's beautiful.

Speaking of which, nobody finished this off and it's been gnawing at the back of my mind.

Hot Fuzz: Iain Banks and Iain M Banks
The last time I watched Hot Fuzz I geeked out about the fact that Turner(s) were reading Banks. Sadly, I was the only one in the room who did.
