I got around to watching Sense8 and loved it. Just wanted to talk about one of the more unusual characters (unusual in how he is presented, not that he is an unusual person) I think Bug, the hacker guy who is an old contact of Nomi's in Sense8, is probably one of my favourite characters, because normally those kinds of people are dreadful in media. They're always some uncaring burnout who cares more about the rush of the crimes, or getting a fix of some drug, than their friends, and he looks like that type too, visually (plus the state of his houseboat does nothing to diminish the stereotype), but he is a really good person. He cares about Nomi, not just as a friend he used to run with, but because he is loyal to her and is glad to be back in her life, when he accidentally deadnames her on their second meeting he apologises and corrects himself, and never makes that mistake again. He also does his best to really get the whole cluster thing, partially because he has no local friends and the people he knows best are people he talks to online, so his social group is not unlike hers. He's can also be charming when in a public setting, he's not embarrassing at social gatherings. He behaves himself. He's an interesting take on a character type that normally is either a creep or a loser.

More than likely I am late to this, but I watched Hot Fuzz for the seventh or eighth time this weekend while I was doing a bit of carpentry (I like building furniture and vivariums and such) and I realised during the round table meeting that they say Janet has finally picked the names for her twin boys and they are going to be Roger and Martin. It clicked for the first time ever that those are the first names of Riggs and Murtagh from Lethal Weapon and while the end fight in the model village is the blatant homage to Lethal Weapon, I love that that joke slipped by me so many times.

It's my favorite movie and it's definitely Wright's best. Every word, every shot, and even every prop has a reason to be there and foreshadows a plot point.

One of the Andy's makes fun of Angel, saying more people in the country are armed than in the city "Everyone and their mums' is packing heat round here". He asks, who? The Andy replies "Farmers.....and farmers' mums!" The first people Angel has to fight upon returning to the village? A farmer and his mum, packing heat.

These posts make it sound like Hot Fuzz is mostly an exercise in including as many jokes and references and visual puns into the movie as possible, which sounds incredibly tedious in a third-year film major kind of way. But I've seen the movie and it's good so maybe it's just the posts making it sound that way.

It's only tedious if it doesn't flow naturally or if catching every single callback is essential to understanding what's happening. If it just adds more humor to a line or a setpiece that's already funny or at the very least is unobtrusive it's not really a problem and just gives it more of a rewatch factor.

Did you know that Skinner impales himself on the church roof that was used to kill the reporter, almost decapitating himself like the actors and nearly cutting his throat like Leslie Tiller? Also did you know Hot Fuzz is a movie.

I'm not even being facetious, but I knew I was gonna see The World's End as soon as it was announced, cause Wright/Pegg/Frost, and I really wish I would have kept away from information and trailers and stuff from that point on because it would have been a great surprise that way.

Yeah, with Hot Fuzz you’re not going to notice most of it on the first time through because it doesn’t call much attention to it. When you’re watching it again and know how it all turns out it’s like “oohhhhh”. Honestly I’ve seen that movie like ten times and had never noticed some of the stuff people mentioned on this page.
