I can't imagine a zoomer sitting down and enjoying Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz because they aren't covered in 5 different layers of sarcasm and have the crime of being fun films to watch
Born in 2002 and loveall 3 cornetto films
2002 is zillennial
Sometimes I'll just be sitting there not thinking about Hot Fuzz at all and I'll just say "Meet the cop, that can't be stopped" to myself. It's not even a funny line.
you've got a moustache
that's some imaginary victim complex you have going on there
excluded World's End
Is it too irony-poisoned? Is it not fun? Both? Were you not aware it exists?
nta
it's too preachy imo.
the thing is these movies are considered unfunny trash in britain
you, the american, only find them funny because of the zany accents and lingo
spaced/shaun of dead/hot fuzz/worlds end are to britain what big mama's house is to america and viced-versa
No luck catching them killers then?
This, pic related is what trve Britons find humorous
it's just the one killer actually
Particularly Hot Fuzz they wouldn't be able to handle because it's really slow in the beginning with a lot of witty, fairly subtle humor.

immediately start seething about some kind of -oomer brainrot
I fucking hate you cunts so much it's unreal, kill yourself immediately
I find it funny because it's just what I expect when I think of the stereotypical British.
True even in the worst of shit if Frost is I it he's typically a bright spot.

maybe in your little poncey circle jerk yeah but I've never heard a fellow brit say anything bad about hot fuzz/ shaun of the dead or spaced

Spaced
I watch the whole thing two or three times a year, maximum comfy.
you, the american
"trash"
I just rewatched it recently too - adored it as a teenager but I did notice how there is a significant drop in quality between the seasons. 2 was really heavily relying on dated cultural references.
I've been around the station a few times
no luck banning them sneedposters then?
it's just the one sneedposter actually
Would World's End have been received better if it came out one or two years after Hot Fuzz?
World's End was kind of fucked by Paul (they beat it to the post for 'Pegg and Frost do sci-fi'), but the problem with World's End is more that it rests on the laurels of Shaun/Fuzz too much. By that point the writing style felt formulaic, the robots are conceptually too similar to zombies and even incidental details like the Cornetto reference are extremely forced compared to the first two movies.
World's End feels more like a victory lap than a completion of a trilogy
Considering those films are about parodying tropes from different genres it was fucking bizarre for them to do one on JJ Abrams esque modern sci-fi, which by its nature is bland and has very few distinctive stylistic features
Actual brit reporting
Shaun is solid, Fuzz is mid, TWE is a classic

Country of fucking niggers.
Lock me up. I'm a slasher, and I must be stopped.
the Cornetto reference
The fact that they even did that proved how deep they were in self-indunging. The 'Cornetto trilogy' was just an in-joke they had on the Hot Fuzz set because they realised after shooting the scene that they had used the same snack as Shaun of the Dead but had chosen different flavours. It wasn't something they planned to do.
Spaced isnt laugh out loud funny it's just interesting to watch
little town has residents replaced by aliens
is actually a trope going back to at least the 50s
I relate to david being creatively constipated and reticent as a result. He's a fun character.
No luck banning them Snoodposters then?
It's just the one Snoodposter
I'm talking about the style not the subject matter. The movie isn't a pastiche of of 50s sci-fi.
Who is David? Do you mean Brian?
