HOT FUZZ: The Post Mortem, Let's pick some nits Options

[Dax Trajero]

I'd just like to say I've come from watching Shaun of the Dead on ITV2 tonight. Its the first time I've seen it in ages, and I just wanted to say how utterly brilliant I thought Simon was in the film.

I though he did a good job with his contrasting role in Hot Fuzz, but for me the guy simply excels in a film like Shaun.

Simply one of this country's finest comedic actors and we're really lucky to have him.

You're so right, Dax. SOTD was the first thing I ever saw Simon in, & his performance just blew me away. I remember sitting there thinking, "Who is that guy? He's a brilliant actor!" Then, I noticed his name as co-writer in the credits, & was doubley impressed. After that, I started seeking out info about him & other stuff he'd done, which led me to the wonderful world of Spaced, & this forum. Mr Pegg truly is awesome, & Hot Fuzz is even further proof of that.

Feel the love.

I agree Simon is brillent in SOTD and soon as a friend of mine said that they are doing another film Hot Fuzz I had to see it. Now I love SOTD, Hot Fuzz and Spaced and I always thank her for getting me into spaced.

you first saw Simon in SotD Dolfyn? geez i first saw him in the first Australian screening of Spaced. saw an ad on Foxtel and just HAD to watch it. and i loved it.

i think some of my favourite moments were the references to their past work. i loved the whole thing and didnt notice anything bad about it yet. my favourite reference though was to SotD. hilarius to see the SotD dvd in the bargain bin amongst dodgey action films. im going to have to watch it some more in the cinemas... hopefully my girlfriend will let me

I thought the first screening of Spaced in Australia was on the ABC not Foxtel.
ABC screened series 1 and then rescreened it with series 2 following.
They showed it at crap times though and no-one saw it.

I'm pretty sure Foxtel only got it after the ABC were done with it.



Spaced was so little known in Australia and America as well - that most people saw Shaun first and then traced back to Spaced afterwards.




Lucky for me my bf noticed Spaced on the ABC and really liked it so he ordered the DVD from the UK. We both watched it and both loved it so we got series two as well. And the rest, as they say, is history

aah you could be right AC. i had never heard of it before i saw it on Foxtel. ABC mustnt have advertised it much. cause my dad didnt see any ads for it on ABC and he watched ABC alot and definitely would have pointed Spaced out to me. he was the one that spotted the ads on The Comedy Channel. way too many ABC's in there. i feel like Michael.

i think The comedy Channel ended up playing the first series of Spaced 2 or 3 times.

Sometimes I miss pay tv. Not often, but sometimes.
Anyhoo we have both series of Spaced AND the three disc box set (overkill, anyone?) so no probs there.

But yeah ABC treated it like crap. They didn't promote it at all.
Thank God my bf's mate came across it and recommended it to us or we never would have found it!


*edit* buddy, I've been meaning to ask you - does your forum name mean Red Bulz? I've been trying to figure it out

Red Rulz... i was like 13 so shutup. youre mean. i dont like you anymore! HMPH!
ok im over it
but yeah. i was young and its too much trouble swapping to a new email addy. you always find something that you forgot to change to the new one and everything gets screwed. its like moving house but with so many more random, obscure places with your address.
when i play games im Z00111111 these days

[AusChick]

Oh yeah coz "AusChick" is such a friggen great name.
Lord only knows why I chose that stupid name. Stuck with it now though.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Red Rulz - I just wanted to know because I can't be stuffed typing R3D12ULZ every time I want to mention you. Can I just call you Red?
What can I say, I'm an Aussie, I have to abbreviate everyone's names. Plus I'm lazy
