Damn. I'd love to go to that Arclight show, but I gotta go to my friend's birthday party. I've already seen the movie, but seeing it at the arclight is always a better experience.

That leaves only the other fat guy to be identified. Surely he's from something.

He's Matt Lucas from 'Little Britain'. Also know as George Dawes from the Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer shows. Not sure if you get those in the States though.

Can't wait till the 27th for that collectors edition of spaced to come out.

Though, I went with the HMV slipcase.

Actually it is not a sleeve. It is an alternate cover. I was hoping it was a sleeve/slipcase, but nope

I got the HMV version, which is indeed a slipcase (and quite high quality). It also comes with a poster!

I watched my DVD last night with the trivia track on. You will not believe the number of references to other genre films and personalities. For example, (not really a spoiler, but I'll mask it if you want to see if you can catch it)
Spoiler:
Shaun calls for restaurant reservations and the name of the restaurant is "Fulci's".


See how many you can catch!

Wow.

The rating for this film over at RottenTomatoes keeps on going up. Right now it's at 90%/100%. I'm going to watch it for the first time on the bigscreen sometime tomorrow, and I'm going to keep my eyes open on how many people are there, and I'm going to try and listen in to comments made after the film. I'm very currious about what Joe Filmgoer thinks about this movie.

I can't belive that I watched this film months ago, heh.

Just read Kim Morgan's review. Good Lord, how does she spoil so many excellent plot points in such a short review? Subtlety, Kim!

It's not showing in my neck of the woods so I'm inviting a bunch of friends over tonight to watch the R2 DVD. We had made tentative plans for a night of dinner and a movie but we were shot down. Friends are now bringing us dinner and we are supplying the flick. Good times

I had planned to see it to tonight, but it's not showing in Des Moines. I'm hoping it expands next weekend.

Terrific movie. Just a hell of a good time at the movies. Makes me wish Peter Jackson would just get off his high horse and try to top it, which I know he can.
