Ah, finally the teasers are up! I've been avidly following the production blogs of this film and cannot wait to see it. This is going to be so awesome! :D

[Droo]

The trailer is up now. The X-Large version of it doesn't seem to be loading at the moment, but the other two work fine. Enjoy! :D

To quote the trailer...


"That ... was ... brilliant."

:crack Can't wait!

[Liam Jinn]

Why can't it come out tomorrow? :(

[Lilaena De'Ville]

When does it come out? :huh

[Liam Jinn]

Not tomorrow :(

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Booooo! :shakefist

[Miranda Tarkin]

joygasms!!!!! :crack

[Rutabaga]

Must see, must see! :crack

If it's released the way Shaun of the Dead was (ie, not to every cineplex in the world), I may have to drive a ways to see it, but I'll do it, I'll do it!!! :crack

Wait didn't you hate Super Troopers?

[Droo]

Yes. Don't even bother trying to compare them. Completely different kinds of humour, ie. American and British. And there's simply no room for contestation, the only similarity is that they're law enforcers.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, can they do no wrong? :)

Time to go rewatch my Spaced DVDs :D

[Rutabaga]

I've seen some episodes of Spaced on BBC America, that's a funny show :thumbup.

And Bill Nighy is in Hot Fuzz, yay! :crack

[Zem-El Vymes]

Yes. Don't even bother trying to compare them. Completely different kinds of humour, ie. American and British. And there's simply no room for contestation, the only similarity is that they're law enforcers.


Haha whatever guy. Everything I've seen of this is right up the same kind of comedic alley as Super Troopers. You've just got a silly bias ;)

[Droo]

No, Super Troopers was dreadful. Accept that I don't like it and move on. It was nothing but crass, abraisive, witless spoof rubbish with classic lines such as "It stinks like sex in here," which has everyone rolling in the aisles apparently. And this film is done with style and charm, I say 'is' as opposed to 'appears to be' because it's done by exactly the same team who made Shaun of the Dead. To be frank, they could be said to be the same kind of film, except one was made by Americans and one was made by Englishmen. And when it comes to comedy, anything involving Sacha Baron Cohen excluded, that is a difference of rather epic proportions for me.

[Zem-El Vymes]

Whatever you know I just like picking on you.

New trailer. The release date is February 14th!! OMG NEXT WEEK! :crack

Trailer above is hilarious. Must watch again.

[Miranda Tarkin]

:lol awesome. I love how serious it tries to be

[Rutabaga]

LOL!!! :lol :lol :lol

Checked the release info at Rotten Tomatoes, February 14th must be the UK release...US release is April 13, according to RT. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

DAAAAANG IT!!!! :shakefist

[Tristan Tahmores]

Aye, 14th is the UK release. Thank god for Wednesdays - no lectures!

Got about a dozen physics students planning to be at the first showing. :lol

[Droo]

Saw it tonight and I think it sits up there on par with Shaun of the Dead. Shaun is probably my favourite due to the subject matter but in terms of quality, Hot Fuzz stands equally tall. Not a single character or moment is wasted, and the comedy is of the standard we have come to expect from writer and director Edgar Wright and the duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I hope these three guys continue to make more excellent films together, they have such a magic touch. In their films, while the situations are often hilarious and outrageous, the characters have depth and are very believable and likeable. Again, the relationship between Pegg and Frost shines on screen. I won't spoil a thing but rest assured, there are so many absolutely brilliant moments of comedy(some only Brits will get, I'm sure) that will have you wanting to buy the ticket for your next screening as soon as you leave the cinema.

Admittedly, at the back of my mind I was a little apprehensive about Hot Fuzz, simply because I wanted it to rate with Shaun of the Dead. This film matches its predecessor blow for blow and delivers on all fronts. Now how's that for a slice of fried gold? Enjoy!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:D I'm so glad you gave a little review, I can't wait to see this.

Of course... I have to. :(

[Rutabaga]

Great news, can't wait to see it! :)

[Rutabaga]

This is so unfair!!!! They advertise Hot Fuzz as opening "everywhere" today, but the closest theater to me that will be showing it is an hour's drive away! AAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shakefist :shakefist :shakefist

[Rutabaga]

Hooray! Hot Fuzz opened at a theater only about 15 minutes away from me today, so I'm going to see it on Sunday afternoon :crack.

Anybody else here seen it yet?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I haven't yet. :( Had to put my movie money into my gas tank. :shakefist

[Miranda Tarkin]

I saw it last weekend. Words cannot describe how awesome this movie is :D

And I saw a trailer for their next movie ... 'Run, Fatboy, Run!" :D

[Nathanial K'cansce]

There's nowhere near here that's playing it. I think the closest place is... 1.5-2 hour drive away, and by the time I make the drive, I'd have wasted movie money on gas. *shakes fist*

[Rutabaga]

I know the feeling...that's why I was so relieved that it opened a lot closer to me this weekend, otherwise I wouldn't be seeing it until it comes out on DVD.

It's very, very funny and entertaining, I loved it. Not quite as good as Shaun of the Dead (although I don't know if anything ever will be :)), but still highly recommended! :thumbup

[Morgan Evanar]

I really enjoyed this movie. It was a relentless parody of american action movies at the end :)

[Ryan Pode]

Funniest movie I've seen in a long, long time. I was laughing pretty much nonstop at the end.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I finally saw it!!! :dance

Loved it. Excellent movie. Must see. Again.

The only downside to the movie was that I was sitting in the second to the front row and so most of the fast cuts/blurry action made my head hurt a little. :uhoh

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL you should see this movie. ;)

[Rutabaga]

"He's not Judge Judy and executioner!"

Glad you saw it, and really glad you enjoyed it! :dance
