I'm dying to see this... how are the Zombies? Cos I love zombies, but movies with crappy zombies piss me off.
For maximum effect watch Dawn Of The Dead first then Shaun... after! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363547/ and if you liked Shaun of the dead check out http://www.spaced-out.org.uk/ not sure if Spaced the TV series ever made it to the states?
The best zombie film ever made, though you would have had to see a few to really appreciate it. Also it was good to see a film aimed solely at the British audiance, with loads of great cameos from similar comides to Spaced. And of course it was absolutely goretastic!
Dylan Moran cracks me up everytime i watch that movie. it's sort of become a tradition with my friends, we make a W and say Winchester and gaaaaay, and basically just rip it off. great movie with a great soundtrack too. (80s matchbox b-line disaster rule)
Damn straight they do. Ordered my copy of the soundtrack straight out of the UK after I saw the movie! I'm going to get a Region Free DVD player so i can get "Spaced" on DVD. That show is so funny. I may not totaly get it, but what i do get, I love =P
Ah good, the ol' stereotype that us Americans have no sense of humor... Some of us actually quite understand and appreciate English humor. Anyway, I'd like to see the movie but I can't stand gore, so I won't.
It's not that you have no sense of humor, it's just that it's very diffrent... I've watched american comedy shows on british TV, and they are funny... but I've then watched the american versons of the same shows (edited for american audiences, rather than the british versons we get) and they OVERDO the canned laughter... they force it on the audience, and have it laugh when ANYTHING happens... a guy could walk into a room, and the canned laugher would start... it's crazy!! Its taken out for british audiences, and our own stuff either has none at all, or real studio audience laughter A lot of americans don't understand irony, and it's a big part of our comedy..
You shouldn't judge what Americans are like by our TV shows. Most of us don't even like them anyway. Everyone I know hates American TV shows. And everyone I know also understands irony.
OK, in that case I take it back... but you've got to admit that british and american humor is very diffrent.
Great movie....I really thought that the editing was very well done. Some parts of the movie reminded me a bit of the style used to make Reqrium for a Dream. Very funny how unaware Shaun and his buddy were of what was happening. Best movie i've seen in a theatre in a while
