Great appraisal. He’s consistently reliable. I really like him, too. By the way, your YT link says it’s private so can’t be viewed

I was spot-on the right age when that came out and so I got to see it at the flix. I can’t think of another film that has made me go ‘wow’ more. As Barton says ‘He’s really flying”. I wouldn’t put it in my own top ten but it is a great film.

Your review is superb. I laughed (in a good way) all the way through. For me, the movie was supposed to be comic-book fun and that’s what you got. Michael Cera did a great job. I’d only seen him in a couple of movies before and I do like him. Edgar knew exactly what he was going to get when he signed him up so it must have been the character that he wanted – and I don’t think he made a mistake. Cera fitted the film well. It would be nice to see someone give Cera the chance to play a different character in a movie. He might surprise us all.

Anyway, I thought everyone in the movie was great. I’d happily recommend people go see it.

On a final note about Edgar, SOTD and Spaced are just two of the best things I have ever seen and I go back to them repeatedly. I can’t imagine a time when I will be bored with either. I don’t know how Edgar is ever going to better them but I’m very chuffed that he’s now moving into bigger territories. I really wish him well. I feel a sort of pride in his achievements. Same for Simon Pegg, too.

I will regularly be reading your posts from now on. I’m glad I was led to it (biz card in a cinema). I do think you’re a great writer writing great things. All the best, Rob

Awesome review, I believe in my heart that Edgar is a geeky wanker… he just lost the plot a little with this movie.

Did not see that coming – I was expecting it to be a film you’d love! So for you to say this is serious!! (Haven’t seen it yet and on the basis of this I might not bother – I really do have a problem with people wearing pork pie hats)

Comment on Action With A Little More… by Scarlet

If you included “Rashomon” to Akira Kurosawa’s list then he might have fitted into the “brains” category quite nicely (even though it is a thoughtful kind of “brains”, but it does make the audience judge, and not do that for you).

And Leon is perhaps the only “action” film I’ve ever liked as a piece of “cinema”. Too many of them have rubbish scripts, no brains, and big explosions. Blech
