As much as I love the article Kirk, there are things you missed talking about, including the name of some of the characters how they are actually literal meanings such as Skinner, Hatcher, Roper, Shooter and Weaver. Names that just sound either crazy or killers.

There is also the appearance of the famous Stephen…

I approve of this article, especially the formal reading of the satirical elements. This is, indeed, the best Edgar Wright film in his career. Yes, Shaun of the Dead is good, but Hot Fuzz is worlds better.

Dalton is a red herring that makes the eventual reveal—a “ Final ending of Clue” sort of deal where it turns out the entire town is in on it—funnier, particularly because the actual motives for the murders are so absurd. That guy wasn’t killed for poaching a land deal, he was killed because his house was an eyesore.…

When Angel goes back to town, and confronts the farmer and his mother, and kicks her in the face, I laughed harder than I have ever laughed in my life.

Chris Morris in The IT Crowd is another favourite.

Great article, lol but the opening made me think of this scene.

Hot Fuzz kind of take multiple viewings to pick up many of it’s nuances.

The best gag was the police car chase with Vauxhall Astra diesels, possibly one of the slowest cars ever sold to the public.

Throughout it all, several of the assembled black students point out that she’s resisting arrest and speculate what would’ve happened to them if they’d done the same.

This entire thread is bringing back memories of when I was meaner than I needed to be to kids who needed me to be nicer. (And to be honest, I was one of the kids who was treated meanly a lot and should have known better not to step on others.) The guilt of that stays with you.

It is My Father’s will that your entire life should be centered on Me.

its not a church, its a cult.

Nice troll but while I realize you're just trying to replies, I'll try to clarify some things for the other commentators.

I went through a five-year streak of major heavy usage every day (my housemate in college had to ask if I even get high anymore when we smoked) but had to recently cut down due to relationship circumstances. After living with my girlfriend who hates pot, I realized how hard it was for me to cut down my usage. It's not…

Sure, many people smoke pot, but that doesn't mean everyone should. Some people have effects like what you mention.

I want to award you my "Favorite Person of the Day" award, and I'm not even sure whether I'm giving it to you ironically or not.
