I just saw the trailer. Want. Movie. NOW.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
okay, either dan radcliffe has a weird, weird face, or his haircut in OOTP is actually *less* flattering than his GOF haircut, which is kind of a feat in and of itself.
do we wf for trailer?

Yes, but there are some inside jokes in "Hot Fuzz" that reference "Shaun of the Dead."
Well, dang, I guess I'm going to have to rent SotD to find those. I just saw Hot Fuzz, but I have such a crap memory. I can tell you I've seen a movie and that's about it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I definitely caught the shortcut through the gardens bit - what were some of the others?

Ah, they referenced so many cop flicks, I didn't realize that one was a ref to SotD.

Oh, and of course there was the shootout in the bar.
Sail, that scene was lifted almost verbatim from Shaun, except for Pegg's character actually being able to jump the fences this time.

"Hot Fuzz" As I recall, the actors playing Danny and Nicholas characters have the same exchange about wanting a "Cornetto" from a store. Also, I think that Danny shooting someone in the foot was similar to what happned in Shaun of the Dead. ***

Oh, that's fabulous, Jess. I think I'm going to have to get SotD, too. I'm not sure about the next one, though. They showed a trailer for "Run, Fatboy, Run" and while it had funny moments, it just didn't have a premise that really interested me.

Oh, one more Hot Fuzz thing I wanted to ask!
At both of the screenings we went to, DH and I were practically the only ones in the theatre laughing at the line "Forget it Nick, it's Sanford."
So my question to the Buffista hivemind is, is it really that obscure a reference, or just not as funny as we thought it was?
