I mentioned the other day that I finally found a streaming service that carries the show Spaced. I’m almost finished watching it (there are only 14 episodes) and last night I found myself home alone for a while and decided to roll Spaced into a mini film festival where I watched Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright/Nick Frost movies.
I started with Shaun of the Dead for two reasons. One, it’s possibly the funniest movie ever (not to mention the greatest zombie movie ever). Two, I remembered it being short. It isn’t really short. It’s an hour and 40 minutes or so. That’s short compared to Godfather II, but not compared to reality. Regardless, it is one of my favorite movies and I haven’t watched it in ages. When it was done you would expect me to have moved on to movie number two in the Cornetto Trilogy, Hot Fuzz, but instead I jumped ahead to number three, The World’s End. Why? Because I had only watched it once before (despite the clear fact that it is genius) and, unlike Shaun and Hot Fuzz, I don’t know the whole thing word for word. I was definitely due for a viewing.
That’s all I got to last night. I might try to watch Hot Fuzz before bed tonight, thus completing the trilogy. I don’t know. I might try to stick to a couple more episodes of Spaced instead. I only have four left to go, I think. It might be three… or five… something like that. I’m in season two. Then again, I might just go to sleep. I am beat after this very weird day.
