Shaun of the Dead is so freaking awesome and British. Hot Fuzz is as good, if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Hot Fuzz wasn't bad, but not as good as Dead.

Love the disposable camera-wind-up.

OMG, I always loved the record scene.

Bah! Hot Fuzz was BETTER than Dead. Quite a bit better, in fact. Shaun of the Dead was good, but Hot Fuzz was freaking great.

Let's not have this argument. Both moves are absolutely genius, perfectly spoofing the genres they're conveying better than any other spoof has in the past.

Instead of "spoofing" a genre by low-brow fart/poop jokes, or lesser actors dressing up as Jack Sparrow and repeating famous quotes with a funny/stupid accent, these guys have taken what was a washed-up genre and have made it an art. Watch Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, absolutely EVERYTHING does it's job so perfectly. The camera-work, the music, the acting, all of this is so essential to what has made these two films as hilarious as they really are. The funny lines are only half of the humor, the rest is more subtle, yet equally as creative.

What I love so much about Shaun of the Dead is that it isn't just a spoof, it's a really good movie with better characters than 99% of "real" zombie films. It's not just a random string of gags like most parody films. In fact, even if you've never seen a zombie film, you'd be able to enjoy it just fine without getting any of the references.

The editing in Hot Fuzz was top notch during those lightning quick in-between bits.

I haven't see it either. Ok everyone, by voting on my comment here, who thinks I should see this movie?

*rubs hands gleefully in foolish expectation of the kind of votes he will recieve*

I wonder if anyone will be able to read this by the end of the week without turning on their Windows Accessibilty for the Blind system...
