TV/Movies Megathread

In anticipation of The World's End, watched Hot Fuzz last night.  What a great movie.

I think it's better than Shaun of the Dead, and by the trailers, I can't see how The World's End can be better.  Hot Fuzz is pure genius on so many levels.

I think you mean it was dreadful.

[CountDeMoney]

Boo. 

[garbon]

I actually was trying to think if I'd see this one. I was like based on those last two they are 1 for 2.

  Hot Fuzz was atrociously boring.

I think you mean it was dreadful.

I doubt anyone means that, because Hot Fuzz is spectacular.

Edit: OK, maybe Habs.

I think it's better than Shaun of the Dead,

Nah.

[CountDeMoney]

Yah.

[Ideologue]

Way better.

Hot Fuzz has a lot slower buildup, but the end result is spectacular.  Anyone who doesn't think both are brilliant movies is probably suffering some sort of brain malady.

Shaun is still the better movie though.

Some people are beyond help.

I recall liking the end even less though I believe I had already lapsed into a coma at that point.

The opening montage alone was worth the price of admission, as was his transfer and the break-up conversation with his girlfriend at the crime scene, never mind spoofing bad police action flicks.

Shaun is still the better movie though.

Meh, I'm actually watching it right now on cable;  nothing more than a mildly amusing and predictable zombie buddy flick. 

And it doesn't even have Timothy Dalton.  MY DISCOUNTS ARE CRIMINAL

Hot Fuzz is a great, great movie.

I think both are equally unpredictable, in that Shaun treads between zombie, romantic comedy and goofy buddy hangout and stomps on each of those conventions at various points.  Similarly Hot Fuzz wanders between straight laced police procedural, 80's action silliness and goofy buddy hangout.
