Hot Fuzz.
I don't really do cinemas so it takes me a while to get around to watching films. Still eh? Bloody good film from young Pegg. Really excellent stuff.

Young? Simon Pegg is 41. Yes, young in terms of a Prime Minister, an Oxbridge Don or a Last Of The Summer Wine viewer, but in terms of comedy he's positively an old-timer.

He's peaked, Tim. It's all downhill for him from here.
If I can persuade myself that Simon Pegg is still young then it makes me feel better as I am currently in my very very late thirties...

It's overrated IMO, nowt more than a feature-length episode of Midsomer Murders.
You are of course wrong though.

You are quite the doom-monger.

Yes I see what you did there. How witty. How very clever of you, clever in a stupid, banal, fatuous, superior, smug, chin stroking, dismissive, dull, lazy, eating pickled onions and sitting around the house in a pair of heavily soiled underpants grunting farting and scratching your arse kind of way. Hot Fuzz is nothing like Midsomer other than the fact it revolves around a plot with a crime being committed. Perhaps The Shining is nothing more than a feature-length Fawlty Towers because there is a lunatic running amok in a hotel. Perhaps Rain Man with its plot about a mentally subnormal idiot savant is a rip off of Some Mother Do Ave Em. You see what I did there? Show me an episode of Midsomer with dry knowing humour, enjoyable comic situations, witty dialogue, marvellous comic characters, laugh out loud comedy, actors who are the very cream of modern British comedy, a considered consistently funny script, plus stylish bravura direction from a director at the peak of his powers, and perhaps I'll agree. And then I'll eat a hat the size of Cheshire made from the wings of angels and dodo's beaks.

Enjoyable but not what I was expecting.

I thought so too. I want to watch it again to see if I feel the same but I'm going to leave it a good long while because I want to see it with fresh eyes, well fresher eyes.
I love WallE so much.

Next time I watch Wall-E I want to do so with dry eyes.
I don't understand why these 'cute' movies make me cry so much.

They're not so much cute.
More it's a case that they can control the image you seem almost a %100 so when they want to manipulate you they're in full on control
Exam. I disagree with the Bussell, I thought it was pretty decent. The payoff is a bit naff, but up until then it's deftly handled and relatively intriguing.
