Edgar Wright is an enormous prick! In fact, he's SUPERBAD!
Hey folks, Harry here... I'm in Washington, D.C. killing time til the John Waters Screening in Baltimore - but in the meanwhile, I'm scouring the web looking for things to call your attention to, and finally I have proof. You see, most people seem to be suffering under the delusion that Edgar Wright is a really awesome bloke. This is absolutely FALSE. Edgar Wright is a smug evil prick. He is an all-caps COCK of the first order. He's like an evil talkbacker, directly to you... all of the time. He has no filter, no sense of fair play. He's just a horrendous individual. That said... He's incredibly talented, it's just a shame that talent has found a small evil container to be kept in. Don't take my word for it, watch this video - it's Edgar sitting down for a chat with the SUPERBAD boys... and he's... well, he's Edgar, that said, HOT FUZZ and SHAUN OF THE DEAD on HD kick ass.

Was that a real interview?
-
He's got that uncomfortable teenager thing down pat. Didn't think this video was very good but I can't wait to see the movie
-
i'm crazy
-
That couldn't possibly be for real...
-
You guys are really questioning if this is real?????????
It's A JOKE!!!! -
was one of the best parts of AD, and that's really saying a lot.
-
Is all Superbad has to hope for. And that was definitely staged. It seems like this movie should be out already, I've been seeing ads for this crap all summer.
-
but he needs better projects, not that Arrested Development wasn't fucking great.
-
Because all I've heard people talk about is how much they're looking forward to it. If anything, it'll have a good opening weekend, even if it sucks.
-
Was it staged? Seemed real.
-
Eat it.
-
or i don't know, maybe not. hey, I hope everyone gets a good paycheck.
-
Seriously. How could you think otherwise?
-
This was 100% scripted and 100% hilarious. So's the movie. Saw an advance screening last week and it was the funniest movie of the year!!
-
is just a bitter kid that has nothing better to do than pull projections out of his ass because he hates the world. He's not basing that statement on anything other than the fact that he wouldn't know a positive comment if it walked up and shit in his mouth.

If you're on Facebook - join the "Alamo Drafthouse Fanatics" group.

C'mon! What the hell would Edgar Wright be doing interviewing the guys from Superbad in the first place if he wasn't asked to do it? I wish Jonah would've said something a little funnier but "Atkins" was great. Just another great segment for a bunch of funny guys.
-
Edgar Wright is a COCK! He's as dry as his movies!
-
was the best part. and the funniest. and the question i want to ask.
-
Why us anyone taking this seriously. "Staged"? No shit Sherlock!
-
That's a fake...
-
If so, hit me up, I can take ya around the non-tourist side of town. (I figure you have access to my email through my login.)
-
105 degrees today.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. Get a Five Guys Hamburger before you go. -
That would give the interview where Tracy Morgan loses his mind (and talks about impregnating every woman in the texas town he was performing in) a run for its money as the most outrageous in recent memory. Personally, I think it was real.
-
It's fake and not funny. I hope the movie's not like that.

I'm not bitter or negative. I would guess however that the real success of the film will be on the video market. Like Office Space for example. From what I've seen this movie won't be a funnier movie than office space. Though it is getting much better publicity. btw, I was never overtly negative in my earlier post. I resent your post Kraken!
-
i personally truly enjoyed watching this interview. edgar wright is a horrendously talented and intelligent individual...not to mention an intellectual of the first degree. the meaning of which of why i entitled this post "POETIC JUSTICE" is that this is classic. everybody knows europeans are smarter than everyone else. i mean...just look at the current situation with GEORGE W. BUSH. I MEAN...HE'S OUR PRESIDENT!! in europe, he'd only be fit to be in the cages in which hold the monkeys in the zoo. EDGAR WRIGHT has this knowledge and exploits how stupid americans are in this interview by showing how stupid americans are. what are your guys's thoughts?
-
http://www.youtube. com/ watch?v=3GpewL0d1V0
-
You are a goddamn moron. I don't believe more of a response is needed.
-
the fact that you can't tell the difference between reality and them putting you on just shows how far gone you are.
-
on the contrary, more of a response is needed. what is your evidence for that statement? it just so happens that i'm in film school. or oh, i'm sorry...you don't know what school is. i'm well acquainted with such film geniuses as INGRID BERGMAN of the seventh seal and other film geniuses. since i go to school, in which they have taught me (a university, in fact) that you can't make statements without evidence. aparently i'm a 'GODDAMN MORON' but you have no evidence for that claim. therefore you can't say it. if you ask me, it's just typical american jealousy of which that is on your behalf because i'm educated and not some stupid american with a dumb president who is ruining the world if you haven't notice. EDGAR WRIGHT clearly agrees with me and we both think you are a dumb ignorant american.
-
And not in an endearing way. A little of him goes a really long way.
-
I can't believe that this even became a discussion. Anyone who knows Edgar's sense of humour will know that: a) Edgar knew this was fake, b) Jonah Hill knew this was fake and c) Michael Cera knew this was fake too. If in doubt, go back and watch it again. They were all acting. Harry knows Edgar isn't a cock, he was quite obviously being sarcastic and playing along with Edgar's persona in this particular staged interview. Having met Edgar Wright I can say that he's one of the most genuinely warm and friendly people I've ever met and he takes a real interest in what you're talking about, which is a breath of fresh air when it comes to people who work in tv and movies these days. Personally, I don't think Jonah Hill was particularly convincing in this, which should be a dead give away to anyone who is in two minds over whether this is real or not. So no more questions along the lines of 'Is this real?!' or 'Harry, you're far gone thinking that was real and Edgar is a cock'. Just relax and engage your brains people.
-
Not so much "american jealousy," but outright "american laziness."
I figured I could get away with not having to put any effort into this talkback. If you want my evidence, fine... I'll do it begrudgingly.
As we are talking about Europe on a whole, then we are in fact referring to the EU, yes? In which case, I point directly at the shortcomings of the EU economy. While the US is booming, the EU is quite actually not. Our unemployment rates are far lower than the Europeans.
But wait! Before I go on, I must consider the evidence that you brought forth! Bush is a monkey? Europeans are naturally superior?
You are going to FILM SCHOOL? What part of being a film genius automatically makes you an expert in international issues?
Perhaps Europeans are indeed smarter, if we have folks going off to college to study film history. Couldn't get into a real college? -
...my "school" taught me to write in complete sentences. Enjoy those run-on's, bub.
Also, try punctuation and capitalizing at the beginning of sentences. It makes your statements a bit more coherent. -
Is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
-
your very defense of america is monkeyan in its essence of emeril. you, quite typically, considering of which you are of the american persuasion, made the issue of film and perversialized it into a political discussion. and yes, i do go to a film school in a distinguished university. i was merely stating that europeans are more sophisticated and are better in their film tastes. this notion is indicated in the above interview because edgar wright is from europe and therefore smarter thann the american bafoons of whom he is speaking.
-
...back to American buffoons versus civilized Europeans.
With regards to who pulled in the political discussion first, that would be you.
"everybody knows europeans are smarter than everyone else. i mean...just look at the current situation with GEORGE W. BUSH. I MEAN...HE'S OUR PRESIDENT!! in europe, he'd only be fit to be in the cages in which hold the monkeys in the zoo."
So, you were talking about film tastes the whole time! Then yes, I would have to agree that President Bush has a horrible taste in movies. WTF was "Field of Dreams" about ANYWAY? Ghosts? Playing Baseball? Only a monkey could consider that quality film.
Also, it keeps bugging me. The word is SIMIAN, not MONKEYAN. -
i was merely stating that due to the fact of which the essence produces the fact that americans have a stupid stupid president. this in turn means americans are incapable of having good movie taste. i myself am american, but since i am in film school and have a refined taste in films and acknowledge that the films of INGRID BERGMAN and ANTONELLI ANTONELLIONO are superior to americanly produced films. that is all that i am saying.
-
Please stop talking. Your diabolical grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure is letting the side down.
-
You're american. That's all right then. Carry on.
-
Define "superior".
-
For those bringing up Mike's typecasting, what's wrong with that? Owen Wilson's been making money being the same character for 10 years now. Will Ferrell, too, save for the odd jump into something like Winter Passing.
Ya should check out Clark and Michael - a great set of webisodes. I think, after watching those, that Cera is probably doing exactly what he wants with his career and not desperate to get into meatier roles. -
Stupid President = Bad Movie Taste?
I would love to hear the evidence behind this one. -
Its not so funny anymore.... Whats this like four times the fake flip out viral market has been used?
-
"i was merely stating that due to the fact of which the essence produces the fact"
-
... is more people saying "This is SOOO fake, how could anyone think otherwise?" when pretty much no one has said anything to the contrary. At the moment it's only two-thirds of the posts. I think we can raise that, if we all try to be as smug and superior as possible!
-
Americans and Europeans trying to decide which side is stupider : pots and kettles deciding which one is blacker....
-
And just started watching The Stranger by Antonioni, and I must say I was let greatly let down, let me explain.I was, earlier, watching the classic film Swamp Thing by Wes Crave, and was struck by the audacious usage of machine guns and hand-grenades, in fact I was in awe. Complete genius, not only does the lack of character development and structural logic pertaining to plot enhance the film, it actually raises it to the level of genius.Where as, in say, Winter Light, we the audience are not privy to the suicide of Sydow, we merely see his body after the fact, unlike the classic Hostel by Eli Roth, that film let you see all that the imagination can't fully realize. All in all, European cinema is just about a bunch of ugly, smelly people talking about boring stuff, if I wanted that I would talk to a real person. It is like in the Bicycle Thief, I was just like, come on, get a gun and go kill someone for a bike, thats what an American would do...
-
And there I go looking stupid..
-
With you there, NTM. And as far as US v Euro *films* go, 90% of Euro filmic output is pigshit just like 90% of the US's.
-
Coming to a theater near you in 2008.
-
i pity all of you. as a student very well acquainted with the preeminent film scholars of the past 300 years, i simply pity you. also, i hate to be the one to inform you but you can't smell the people you are wathcing when watching a movie. smell doesn't come through the screen, braniak. but to say any film is better than those created by BERGMAN and ANTOLONIONO is pathetic. you should all be ashamed of yourselves you sorry excuses for film knowledgers.
-
I pity you too. To be unable to simply enjoy a film because it's not up-its-own-arse enough, or doesn't have long lingering black and white shots of silk curtains flapping in the wind for you. There are many, many different ways to class a film as 'good', not just because it ticks all the boxes as defined by some pretentious twat. Art films can be and frequently are dreadful too you know.
"Film knowledgers"..... FFS.
Plus it's 'Antonioni'. -
Theres a whole series of fake things from these guys on funnyordie.com If u remember the thing with Michael Cera and Judd Apatow getting in a fight on the set of knocked up its the same thing. I dont think theyve officially said its fake but you can def tell it is if you watch the one where Apatow supposedly fires Franco. Theyre all buddies and having a laugh.
-
In san diego at the comic con.
Edgar,nick frost and the entire cast of superbad were all there and i was lucky enough to be sitting right front of all these guys.Edgar kept saying how this is his 2nd time seeing it and nick had not seen it yet and they were all kissing eachother asses.
The fake interviews were asked about for knocked up and judd said of coarse there fake and expect more soon. -
you people are actually discussing whether this is real or not!!!! edgar and harry are pissing themselves at you right now!
-
You know it to be true.I rest my case, esp. b/c of how I'm "wathcing" people, and am able to smell them.filmgenius, don't you realize that after you see the film Perfume, you can increase your' ability to smell, its true, I saw the movie last night, so my senses (much like your' sense of film) are more able to pick up the subtlety.
-
He was funnier than either Hill or Cera in that scene. Maybe he should try some small acting roles that play to his obvious strengths.I still think Matt Damon's fake flip-out on Jimmy Kimmel was the best fake interview I've seen, purely because Damon sells it so amazingly well. Did anyone see the thing they did on Kimmel with Guillermo the parking lot security guard as Jason Bourne? That was one of the most hilarious things i've seen on tv in months. Here's the link to it: http://tinyurl.com/2tku4hHere's the link to Damon's previous flip-out on the show, which you probably want to watch first: http://tinyurl.com/26n3em
-
He probably knows Edgar reasonably well by now, and at no point reading it did I actually believe Edgar's a prick. He was brought up in Somerset, so he's obviously cool.
-
Ladies and gents: Harry Knowles is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL!
-
1. I'm British and am totally disgusted with the way you are conducting yourself here. Think of your Queen, man!
2. Going to film school neither makes you a genius or an expert on films. You seem to know fuck all about the subject (apart from the names of famous directors). At least say why you think they are better films. Justify your bold claims, Sir.
3. MONKEYAN? You fucking goof! Wait until the country hears about that one. You are a disgrace to our great nation!
toddley pip, old boy. -
what an idiot.
-
Arguing with him is arguing with a strawman.
-
He ain't british. Though with spelling like that he could easily have come from burnley so it's an easy mistake to make.
-
Cunt kept going on about a brain or something. His mate tinman was just a big a twat. And that fucking lion.....
-
But I'm barely sentient so I rarely do. Seriously some of you are embarrassing yourselves by not "getting" this or thinking you're oh so clever for pointing out that it's "fake". Are you serious! It blows my fucking mind that people could be so fucking thick and self involved that they would look at that clip and say "is that real" or "pshaw.... obviously staged". How funny or not funny it is has become irrelevant under the glaring intensity knuckle dragging retardation on display here today. Goddamn it! I'm flaccid with rage! But you know Iove you anyway.
-
He's not European at all? Then just what the fuck is the twit going on about?
p.s. Girls in Burnley are dirty spellers. -
I have no idea. But his superb, comprehensive and well reasoned arguments are making me tumescent in the keks.
-
That was funny as hell, and I'm assuming Harry is being sarcastic, there is no way on this sane earth that Harry could think that was serious. It's called British humour, and yes that is how you spell humour in proper Queens English ;) That was classic Edgar Wright, and the two Superbad guys were in on it! The interview wouldn't have continued otherwise...You wait this interview will be on the Superbad DVD!
-
Not only is he American, but I bet he is 12. Just out of curiosity did film exist "300 years" ago?You're right though, when he was harping on about the joys of European Cinema he had me worried that he might be British.
-
...Is Edgar Wright. C'mon, it's obvious! The guy's hilarious!
-
It certainly seemed genuine at first. I was like, "holy shit, you're right, Edgar Wright is an asshole!!!" But then I realized..."oh, ok, this is got to be scripted...."
-
oooh its fake oooh its staged! get your head out of your asses and get a grip! did i miss the fucking intro where it says: this is an actual interview? this is completely real? and dont complain when harry ups a little vid or whatever. where the fuck is your free will to not press play?
-
I'm also surprised no-one's picked up on filmgenius's deliberate misquoting of Bergman's name (which would be Ingmar).
-
The funniest part of this is anticipating all the confused reactions by everyone who can't tell if it's real or not :p
-
I def agree that the sense of humour was Brit by the fact that people are confused whether its real...LOL. Like this website would ever call Edgar a 'COCK' in sincerity
-
not recognized as equal to the hominids of Europe. Remember that America came from the Island Tribe of Britannia, so this explains why Americans are so...limited. Look at who made us!
Second, Edgar Wright is NOT from England. He is actually from Wichita, Kansas. His accent is not even very good. I am shocked it has faked you all for so long.
Lastly, maybe Americania LIKES its stupid president. Did it ever occur to all you so-called smart people that us Americans want to be led by someone as smart as us? -
Maybe as this is so clearly fake, from the timing to the fake punching sound effect and the lack of any reaction from Edgar afterwards, and the cyclical ending....maybe a certain someone should apologise for calling Edgar Wright a prick and accept that he completely misinterpreted the video.
-
...this is Harry's ruse, knowing full well it was a joke video but posting it out of fondness for the interview and upcoming film
-
hilarious but what is with half the comments from people thinking its real... same with the above clip? what are you people fucking morons or somit
-
Okay...i hope someone knows the answer to this...WHEN DOES SPACED GET RELEASED IN THE USA ON DVD/HD-DVD/BLU-RAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ive watched some episodes posted online, but shit..provide the goods and im ready to cough up the cash!
-
That still doesn't mean it isn't fake. Maybe the obese kid doesn't follow the script - ad libbing?
-
Just happened to die and The Seventh Seal just happened to be re-released. Coincidence filmgenius? Or did you just read everything you know about them last week? Also, its a well known fact that a lot of Americans dont really understand the whole sarcasm thing. I applaud those of you who are smart enough to "get it" but for anyone who thinks this is real. Seriously? Go watch Nathan Barley or Brass Eye please.
-
Why swim when the nearest country is France? (Ireland notwithstanding)
-
is the dog's balls. Also check out the precursor, The Day Today, from the same genius of Chris Morris, which features the first appearance of the popular Alan Partridge, for the UK comedy fans among you
-
...taking FilmGenius seriously? It's obviously a joke, and the joke's on everyone who bit. The first clue was his intimate familiarity with the works of INGRID Bergman. C'mon, guys...
-
my favourite thing about Brass Eye was the fallout from the paedo special- where every self-righteous twat in Britain stood up to condemn it. Including, hilariously, David Blunkett who said that it was the most evil thing he had ever seen. Chris Morris himself would struggle to predict comedy like that. Other morris genius- the spoof suicide column in the observer that was running at the same time as the nauseating John Diamond Death Diary was in the telegraph and the hysterical Tv Go Home: http://tinyurl.com/qwcv
-
this is actually one of my favourite quotes and is bang on when it hits fly on the wall doc's.THe programme is called, subtly, CUNT and follows the footsteps of an odious sloaney twat:
"Sitting beneath an immense plasma screen mutely playing the Godfather on DVD to the oblivious denizens of a soho bar loosely themed around George Lucas' THX-1138, Nathan Barley cracks his 73rd joke about finding suspicious powdery residue in the toilets and is rewarded with a gale of sycophantic haw-hawing from the cabal of despicable quasi-human shitcreeps he uses as friends."I think I know where that pub is, and it isn't in Soho. It's in Chelsea. -
...when hosting a UK radio show, he was fired for shouting "Christ's fat cock!!" at Cliff Richards during a religion-themed discussion
-
Generally, when you make fun of Bush, it's an automatic win.
Instead, you turned the entire talkback against you because of your idiotic statements.
Why? It's because you are a goddamn moron. And that's The Word. -
Plot: A diobolical genius runs an evil newspaper operated and written by hypnotized cats that he owns. One cat, unable to accept his role as a journalist with no future, befriends Michael Cera at a rock concert and convinces him to help lead an anarchy against the evil newspaper proprieter. It's a mission, a quest..... free the TYPECATS!!!!
-
And a guy who's not at all funny and you give the not funny guy all the good parts? Strange.
-
then that person is an absolute moron. i don't see how anyone could think this was anything BUT fake.
-
Now THATS sarcasm! And, here, BOOSH! Why is Ireland notwithstanding?! I love the boosh but you better explain, in the words of Noel Fielding pretty "quicksmart"!
-
HD DVD plug in just under the wire Harry.
-
when she was just over there. Then I had to watch it on my VLC media player. But it was worth it.
-
I love it when studios do things like this.
-
There's a problem with getting music licensing from Lucasfilm. I'm thinking it's a possibility that there won't be a region 1 DVD release at this point. If haggling with Lucasfilm over the cost to license the music hasn't worked out by now...
-
it's not 'staged' or 'fake', it's supposed to be f.. u.. n.. n.. y. simpletons!
-
"Can skinny people be funny?" Love it.
-
Shot in real-time, like Highlander.
-
At the end, when Edgar asks if there's going to be a fourth season of Arrested Development...that's a joke because everyone always asks them (him, Nick and Simon) if there's going to be a third season of Spaced.

That's all.
-
I bought the region 2 dvd's from amazon uk years ago and converted them to region 0 so my friends could watch the series. Brilliant show but the references are becoming dated at this point (Phantom Menace,Matrix etc). I think a US DVD would be too little too late now. And yes, there is a lot of licensed music & media (posters etc) used in the series that will cost mega $$$ to get clearance for a US release..Just buy the region 2 set and enjoy.
-
Edgar Wright just makes me sad now because he's funnier than I even thought before. Now I'm just jealous of how funny he is. Seething jealous! Damn, that was good. I think Harry knew it was fake from the get-go as well. It's why he put it up.
-
Edgar Wright and Nick Frost were in the audience with the cast at the Comic Con screening of Superbad 1 row infront of me. They were laughing just as hard as everyone else.
