Makes me wish I lived in London... by AndrewWanKenobi	Jun 1st, 2007 08:50:29 PM
...or had the cash and the free time to head over from NYC and wait on line overnight. Wow... wouldn't it be great if they did they same thing here? HintHint - BTW, if you haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet, do so ASAP. It's even better the second time around.
Good Luck by John-Locke	Jun 1st, 2007 09:38:38 PM
The size of the Prince Charles cinema being what it is and considering how many rampant fans there are in this country I reckon you'll have to be in line outside the cinema pretty damn early in order to secure yourself a seat, still it is mighty tempting, I might have to make a trip up to London on the Saturday night with a sleeping bag in tow.
Here come the Fuzz! by lost.rules	Jun 1st, 2007 11:57:21 PM
Funny movie.
Why travel all the way down to London... by Floyd_Dylan	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:04:12 AM
to see 2 of the 3 films that were originally cut for cinema by the BBFC? Hard Boiled had 3 seconds cut from its first cinema run, and 25 seconds was cut from Point Break! And believe me they'll be too tight fisted to buy a brand new uncut print. Also FUCKING London!!! What about doing something original and bring the festival all over the country, or perhaps do signings in various cities in the UK, if they want us to see their movies or buy their products, then they should at least make a fucking effort and tour the fucking country that made them originally famous. AndrewWanKenobi you wouldn't want to live in London, as it's an overpriced shithole.
Don't be sour, Floyd_Dylan by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:21:55 AM
Just because YOU can't be bothered to travel this small island of ours. Sounds great. I'll be there!
hmm by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2007 03:44:39 AM
i just might pop along, if anyone wants my autograpgh, please ask nicely
You lucky Brits... by Crimson King	Jun 2nd, 2007 04:30:47 AM
That's probably even cooler than the Hot Fuzztivals we had here in the States. Damn you. Damn you all to hell!!! Not really, but still, you lucky bastards...
wow by billyhitchcock	Jun 2nd, 2007 05:36:03 AM
i'll take a night on the pavement defo
lucky? by Mr_X	Jun 2nd, 2007 06:25:54 AM
how many opprtunities do we brits to have a chance like this? never! like advance screenings? never! and good luck with the night on the pavement, i'm sure the clubbers on a saturday night will enjoy peeing on you in a doorway. Not only that its fricking hot now, if you go to the cinema and site next to me without showering it'll be clobbering time
Should be great by Blondie Bear	Jun 2nd, 2007 08:42:38 AM
I really wish i could go but i live in manchester and im scint so train fair is the problem
You missed the boat Floyd_Dylan by LordPorkington	Jun 2nd, 2007 09:09:00 AM
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright already toured the UK to promote Hot Fuzz earlier this year and visited various branches of HMV around the country signing autographs and having pictures taken. They were all really friendly and down to earth, so to say they didn't make an effort is a bit of a joke. Plus, the amount of time they spent touring the rest of the world with this film, making personal appearances to introduce the movie and then Q&A's afterwards, makes you look like a bit of a fool for having a pop at them. If you feel so strongly about this to vent your spleen in such a way, I'm surprised that a trip to London is such an effort for you. Although saying that, I also share your dislike of London, but it is the capital city after all and will always get things like this ahead of places like Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester.
Always bloody london by Kizeesh	Jun 2nd, 2007 09:33:53 AM
Why do all Londoners forget that the world exists beyond the city?
Am I the only one... by TheHorror	Jun 2nd, 2007 11:07:00 AM
That thinks this film is hit and miss?! I didn't see it as a perfect film (like I did when I saw Shaun). Don't get me wrong I thought it was funny at times and I love the guys who make it but there are three major issues I have (i) The biggest being it runs waaaay too long, should've been a 90min flick not a bloated two hours. (ii) The kind of horror element didn't really work for me - felt like a step backwards imo and (iii) I wasn't as interested in Pegg and Frost's charcters asn much as I was in Shaun, this is possibly because they ain't playing average jo in this flick, i guess they were ok characters. Then again I think I'm comparing it to Shaun too much - O.K I'll take the last one back - first 2 still count though. I still Can't wait to see more films from these boys in the future though!
Thanks for the heads-up on this by palimpsest	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:14:04 PM
Won't be there as it's in that faraway shitehole London (if you've never visited, consider yourselves fortunate, as it is a dour, expensive, smelly place populated by some Biblically rude people) and also a nasty attack of having to work that day. Still, respect due to Edgar and the boys for putting the event on. Here's fully expecting to hear the live commentary from this event on the special edition DVD when that gets released...
Point Break by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:30:16 PM
What an amazing film. One of the last great action films made before incomprehensible camerawork and manic editing took over.
LordPorkington/Talkbacker with no name by Floyd_Dylan	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:52:10 PM
LordPorkington, they travelled to Milford (wales), Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, and London, hardly a huge UK tour. Talkbacker with no name, seriously why would I want to travel down to a shithole also known as London
because, Floyd_Dylan by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 2nd, 2007 12:57:07 PM
The fuzz is coming town! Quit ya whining and get your arse down here, bud.
Kizeesh, don't beilive the media by Talkbacker with no name	Jun 2nd, 2007 01:03:08 PM
I have lived in London all my life, but I don't feel like that at all. I know what you are saying, but we are not like that in reality. Believe it or not we are not unlike yourself in all ways. Knock down that invisible wall in your mind and let's live in peace, man. Come join the fuzz party. You are more than welcome.
Silly Floyd by Bono Luthor	Jun 2nd, 2007 04:36:30 PM
Anything above the south of england does not really count now, does it?
That's why I like about the UK talkbackers by Floyd_Dylan	Jun 2nd, 2007 06:05:23 PM
Someone moans about something, and then another talkbacker replies with something lighthearted, unlike a particular country, where if someone moans and it's like the McCarthy witch hunt, and they're tarred and feathered out of AICN. It's good to be British.
If it was..... by SteffanLongdon	Jun 2nd, 2007 07:19:21 PM
James Cameron with Avatar, Spielberg with Interstellar or Chris Nolan with The Dark Knight i'd probably go but it's Hot Fuzz....good film, but the most overated of the year...so far.
such kindness by Kizeesh	Jun 2nd, 2007 10:23:02 PM
I weeps for joy. Sadly Its my friends birthday ad that takes precedence otherwise I'd be there like a shot.
20 years ago at the same store I got Adam West to sign by Jugs	Jun 3rd, 2007 09:32:29 AM
my 'Batman the Movie' video!!!!
HAD to be fricking London by Brody77	Jun 4th, 2007 03:01:18 AM
Why not a UK tour? Give us Scots a chance? Still, great flick, definitely buying it!!
Brody77 by LordPorkington	Jun 4th, 2007 07:00:17 AM
Like I already told Floyd_Dylan, you missed the boat mate. They visited Glasgow (5th February), Newcastle (6th February), Manchester (7th February), Birmingham (8th February) and Bristol (9th February) prior to the UK release date where the first 20 people in line at each branch of HMV were given exclusive tickets for a screening of the movie and a Q&A session with Simon, Nick and Edgar after they'd done an autograph signing in the store. So why not travel down to London (I'm from Newcastle) along with myself, Floyd_Dylan and Talkbacker With No Name and we'll all have a few pints of Newky Broon on me as we celebrate being British and have a laugh at the Americans. And before the Yanks in here get pissy, I'm marrying a lass from Connecticut, so you can't all be bad! At the end of the day, we should all be proud that these canny lads are from our side of the pond and have more talent and humility in their little fingers than most people in Hollywood combined.
Wot no Bad Boys II? by Fuck The Napkin	Jun 4th, 2007 05:06:43 PM
Disgraceful! I'd be at this screening if I wasn't planning to get utterly shitfaced at The End the night before.
