> they repealed the ACA

They control Congress, the Supreme Court, and the White House. Anything that Obama could’ve put in place to stop this Trump could wipe away with a new law, an Executive Order, or just flat out ignoring the law like he’s doing with the Russia sanctions bill he signed into law. I don’t know why you don’t get this. It’s…

Jesus Christ, anything Obama put in place to stop him, Trump can undo with an Executive Order or just by fly flat out ignoring the law— this isn’t hard to understand. Congress overwhelmingly passed a sanctions bill against Russia, Trump was forced to sign it or reveal his ties to Russia, and then he just ignored the…

Why do dumb people go out of their way to not hold Trump accountable for his actions? My guess is they simply can’t face the fact that they got fooled, they’re dumb rubes who got tricked into electing a toddler, so now they make excuses for him like shitty parents. Or is this a white thing to lower the bar? Obama had…

I don’t think you know what tone means.

You: “The problem is when you feel the need to validate your own opinion by dismissing others’ opinions”

I said nothing of the sort. The point I was making is that the elements of these different genres which have common elements are present throughout. There is no “shift”. Hot Fuzz takes them and blends them into a cohesive story.

I’m not sure what Trump being an idiot who doesn’t understand how vaccines work has to do with Hot Fuzz, or why you can’t spell the word sarcasm, but whatever.

You replied to the wrong thread, I’m guessing.

Hot Fuzz was not really a satire of 80's buddy cop films, as you seem to imply. It satirized more 90's action films, the prime example of which is the Bad Boys films (which they literally show in the film), which could be considered “buddy cop” films, but what I’ve seen, were still pretty violent.

I don’t think you understand the difference between satire and parody, or that my problem is not them satirizing a genre, it’s satirizing multiple genres in one movie, which is tonally jarring.

Scary Movie is parody, not satire. And I’m assuming Edgar Wright is aiming higher than bar set by Scary Movie?

A) he’s not impaled on a church fence, he’s impaled on a replica building, and

> Buddy cop + detective thriller with a dash of gore isn’t really that much of a switch in tone.

> The whole movie is a platonic rom-com that satirized buddy cop films amongst other genres as well.

Sure, but that’s definitely a part of the zombie genre. I don’t object to violent deaths per se, just the jarring shift in tone.

Hot Fuzz is so beloved, but I don’t get it at all. The tone is all over the map - it starts out as a satire of buddy action movies (Die Hard, Bad Boys, etc) and then it’s suddenly a satire of slasher movies (Scream) with people getting impaled on church fences? So jarring. I feel Simon Pegg has so much goodwill from…

Ooh, ooh, I’ve got the answer: it’s because you’re an ignorant fuckwit whose racism is looking for an alibi.

You’re so awesome at recognizing sarcasm! Absolutely no one thinks you’re a useless half-wit!

Well thank god you’re commenting on an article no one forced you to read! “I can’t wait to hear Tekton’s hot take on this!” — said no one, ever.
