Must see Comic Geek movie
« on: February 08, 2009, 05:52:30 pm »
I am a big fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. For those who don't know them by name, they are the stars of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. They are going to be in another movie in 2010, the plot, they will play comic book geeks from the UK who travel across the US to a comic con on the West Coast.

Nick will play the lead and Simon the sidekick from what I have read.

Hopefully it comes out early 2010, don't want to wait long for another great film from them.

Freakin' sweet! I love those guys! Shaun of the Dead was arguably the best zombie movie of all time. Hot Fuzz was absolutely brilliant as well.

Run Fatboy Run was kind of a dissapointment, now that I think about it, but Hot Fuzz and Shaun were so amazing I'm willing to overlook it. This movie sounds like it's going to be potentially even funnier than Fuzz and Shaun -- afterall, the stuff that hits close to home is funniest. ^.^ *goes to check it out on imdb.com*

Combining these actors with a comic-con theme, pure gold. I wish they would announce a release date, or at least the month. Just stating the year is not fun, maybe they will bump it up to 2009!

Run Fatboy Run was ok I thought, watched it because Simon was in it, but kept watching it because I liked it overall for the story.

I am looking forward to also seeing Simon Pegg in the new Star Trek movie as Scotty.

Yeah, I thought it was a good enough story, it just wasn't as funny as I expected it to be. It didn't get the hype that the other two did, though, so I should have expected that.

A new Star Trek movie? I'm excited to see that. I watched some episodes of the space shows growing up but never regularly, but recently I got addicted to Firefly and now I want to see the other space dramas. I'm just behind on my movie news. My friend just told me there was a Chun-Li movie coming out, and it was already previewing in theaters! I feel so outta the loop, lol.

I keep meaning to watch Firefly, I watched Serenity, which is movie of Firefly. I really liked the movie, need to get the series, might get it on blu-ray next time it pops on sale.

I was a big Star Trek Next Generation fan. Only watched a little of the Original Series. But still looking forward big time to the new movie. I had heard about the Chun-Li movie, and then it slipped my mind, I try to keep updated on movies that relate to game/anime/comics on the calendar here. Will have to add that one in.
