"By The Power Of GreySkull!"




Contagin and I were talking about this the other day. The lack of good movies that arent just churnred out by the studios.




From MSN.com

The buddy-cop comedy "Hot Fuzz," released by Focus Features' Rogue Pictures unit, had a strong start in narrower release, premiering at No. 6 with $5.8 million in 825 theaters, about a third the number of cinemas where "Fracture" and "Vacancy" played.

"Hot Fuzz" comes from the "Shaun of the Dead" team of director Edgar Wright and his co-writer and star Simon Pegg, who plays a London super-cop exiled to a sleepy British town, where he encounters a series of grisly deaths.



Damn glad to see that even in a limited release people want to see good movies instead of the frackkin swill that is dolled out time and time again.

Couldn't agree more. Most of the movies thrown at us are probably scripted by monkeys with typewriters. This is bad because:
1) Monkeys are poor typists &
2) You'll see nothing but crap in the air.
I did see 300, which took some liberties with history, but overall an excellent film.
Sadly, most things out there just try to gouge $10 out of your wallet.
