On the happy side, Hot Fuzz is a blast. I think it doesn't quite hit the heights I thought Shaun of the Dead hit, but I have a weakness for end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it stories that is, um, stronger than my weakness for action films. (Does that even make sense? I don't care, I like the sound of it.) Last night I took myself to a 10:00 p.m. showing with a good, receptive crowd. As I expected, it's well done (Wright and Pegg are such good pastiche artists), and I love that there are jokes on the soundtrack, from canny placement of songs to David Arnold music that is both exciting and sly (one of Arnold's skills). Reviewer Mike Russell said on Cort and Fatboy last night that Hot Fuzz plays especially well on second viewing, and I'm curious to have that second viewing. And the trailer for Knocked Up is cute. That could be fun. It's also the first time Katherine Heigl's made much of an impression on me...

“This is Capt. James T. Kirk of the Federation Starsh—” *boooom*
I got thinking of 1994’s Star Trek: Generations, enough to dig up the film’s trailer. It makes the movie feel small, which it honestly is. I’ve…

To boldly bone where no one has boned before
“ Star Trek? Horny? Noooooooooooooo.” (I was being very sarcastic.)

It's always a good time for this blog to write about "Star Trek" (Tarantino's adventures)
