To be fair, I think this particular kid is meant to be horrible. His catapult backpack is pretty sweet, though.

He is meant to be unlikable towards the beginning, which is compounded by the burning hatred goons feel towards children.

It's somehow the most subtle of a ridiculous series of films, and took me a long time to really appreciate because Shaun of the Dead makes you expect something more off-the-wall than HF actually is. Agreed that repeat viewing makes it more enjoyable.

...Is Hot Fuzz really Empire Strikes Back in spirit?

Hot Fuzz is just really, really satisfying to watch. It's incredibly smartly constructed, funny as hell, and really loving exciting as well. I'd *almost* go so far as to say it's more or less a perfect movie.

No way. The bad guys lose, no one gets maimed or frozen, and the hero winds up with his love interest.

I was thinking exactly this while watching it today. If you rate movies on a scale from zero to one, it's a total one.

There's a great blend of clever and stupid. Plus there's something about someone getting beaned in the head with an aluminum trash can that slays me.

Maybe I'm crazy but I thought Babadook wasn't that great and lacked any real subtlety.

Have you watched it a second time yet? Seriously, watch it a second time. The way it's structured with the subtle callbacks makes it better the second time you see it.

Hot Fuzz is such an insanely dense and tightly-scripted movie to the point where almost every line is a setup, punchline, or callback. It makes World's End being so sloppy and muddled that much more disappointing.

This is no joke. I always find something new with each watch. This time, during the crime scene in the rain, I noticed Frost has a protective cover over his tiny cowboy hat. Amazing.

Checked out The Babadook last night. I liked it, and recommend it to anyone that wants a creepy horror movie to watch.

I just really really wish they didn't turn it into yet another possession movie. It just seems like a lazy way to not have to show a cool monster anymore. We can just make the actor go crazy!

All this talk of Babadook makes me remember that when i first saw it, I just wanted to steal my movie buff friends phone who loved the movie and make the ringtone the scratching and the Babadook-dook speech, then ring him at like 2am.

It is a superior film, at least if you're not going to be all analyzing it like some people do.

I suspect it is marihuana that is causing this disparity.

Pretty sure that was the third? And iirc it was a Wayans brother or something? I haven't seen the space one yet though.

I love that the movie is basically about killing off all the friendly nonhumans from The Neverending Story. The animal Noah saves in the opening, was totally a luck dragon, and I was waiting to see the rock guys pull out tricycles. It was a ludicrously puerile movie though, bad guys are bad and you know it because they just flat bite the heads off of cute little animals and eat them raw. Also you can gauge Noah's sanity entirely based on his haircut in each scene.

I did LOL at the "I'm so horny I will go to the dark side!" subplot though.

Once you notice how Crowe's eyes never both point at the same thing, the rest of the movie is gold.

Yo so They Came Together stars Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd and damnit if it is not the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. It's a spoof on romantic comedies which goes over all the typical cliches but not in the typical parody way like Scary Movie did. It's a little more subtle. Very much worth a watch. Also it's written by Michael Showalter and David Wain (Stella, wet hot american summer)

It's not really South African but it takes place in Apartheid South Africa and all the characters have the accent; Stander. It's a fun movie based on a cop who realized how easy it is to rob banks in apartheid if you are white, so he does. Stars Thomas Jane.

Strange Circus is a great watch on Netflix. It's odd and surreal, and goddamn beautiful. If you want to watch it go in blind, spoilers take away from the story. Also, if you hate subtitles stay away.
