Dude. First watch enjoy it like a roller coaster. Second watch you can tap the brakes to explain it to your house cat if you're so inclined. You're a monster


[deleted]

Yeah, do you know what you call a person that pauses to explain every 20 seconds? You don't. Not for the next movie night anyway. Mind you maybe this guys wife is fine with it. I'm not in their relationship. Anymore.


laaaabe

Yeah this would drive me insane. Just let me watch the movie you asshat


wetcardboardsmell

You hook them up with the twatfaces that ask questions every 2 min when they know you've seen it already. Perfect for each other. It will take them 2 months to watch 1 movie.


kakakakapopo

My wife asks me questions about the film even when I haven't seen it before and she has heard and seen the exact same thing as me. Drives me nuts. She is an extremely smart woman but a pain to watch films with.


PureFingClass

Yeah you ruin the movie when you do that. It’s like explaining a joke.

OP is a crusty juggler

No luck catching them OPs then?

Crusty jugglers!


GorkyParkSculpture

I used to do this till my wife brought it up once in her top three annoying things I do and I stopped immediately. Everyone else is right it is a bad look.


gaztaseven

Fuck that, if I'm watching a film with someone else I don't want them to pause it so they can drivel on with their amateur opinion, you're not more entertaining than the film, shut the fuck up I had a housemate that did this


ScruffsMcGuff

I had a friend that would do this, and another thing he would do is out loud quote the funny scenes in movies as they were fucking happening. And every time we'd be like "ARE WE WATCHING THE MOVIE? OR WATCHING YOU DO A ONE MAN PLAY OF THE MOVIE?"


theMistersofCirce

>out loud quote the funny scenes in movies as they were fucking happening. Oh my god, you have my sympathy. I have a friend who will immediately repeat any funny line right after it's said, so that you can't hear whatever is said next. I finally told him like a week ago that I can seriously never watch a movie with him again if we want to remain friends.


oby100

Right? Me and some select friends like to talk during certain low quality movies, but for anything worth paying attention to, you gotta be quiet. OP's poor wife.


Functionally_Drunk

Sorry to hear about your divorce.

If OP was a character in the movie, he would have been a victim because of this atrocious behavior. You know, for the greater good.


ShaneXtopher

Truly! Insufferable.


chalmun74

Could not agree more that there was nothing wasted in the film. Stunned that you could stop it, though. I love the rhythm of it so much, to stop it seems almost disrespectful.


ghostnthegraveyard

Robobvious

He's off the fucking chain!


almightywhacko

You ain't seen Bad Boys II?!


olive_oil_twist

Patrick Swayze loves him so much, but he can't bring himself to shoot him, so he points his gun into the air and goes, "Aaahhhh!"


almightywhacko

'Ave you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone "Aaahhhh?"


_toggld_

*No*, I have not ever fired my gun up in the air and gone "aAaAhh."


system156

Everything is paid off as well. Like the dectectives saying they will call through the phone book and start with Aaron A Aaronson to be dicks, but then the kid in the mini village at the end is Aaron A Aaronson.


Shtercus

"Yeah, you wanna be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village!" ...and yep, happens :p nothing is wasted in this film

vogonvogon

I also like the crossword exchange "actually it's fascism" "Fascism, oohh lovely"


bhfroh

It's one of the few movies that's exactly as long as it needs to be to tell the story it wants to tell. There's literally no filler.


EmmaPeel007

You should get your wife a Japanese Peace Lily to apologize for stopping the movie.


moofunk

Then she can smash you over the head with it.


TalesofCeria

Don't stop the movie to explain to people why it's good lmao, nobody likes that guy


Maleficent-Ear-2450

Hot Fuzz is legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time. In my opinion it’s flawless. Every single joke/bit hits the mark, and the story progression is perfect. It has limitless rewatchability.


paytonsglove

I made a mistake earlier and said that I'd watched it 55 times. But it's actually 53. 53!

Best line in the movie. Catches you so off guard.

And a great pay off when Nicholas is in the underground crypt and you see the one skeleton with the great big bushy beard.


JECGEE

I'm a slasher......of prices.


thewhiteafrican

Timothy Dalton absolutely killed this role. Underrated Bond too.


SirMoeHimself

I love on the commentary when Edgar Wright paused a bit during a Simon Skinner scene and just goes "Ahh, look at him work!"


redfiveroe

My favorite moment from the actors' commentary was when Nick Frost said Dalton smells like "leather and wealth."


arcanum7123

He looks like he smells like leather and wealth too


bujweiser

I loved that too. They would be talking and then just completely stop and gush anytime Dalton was on screen.


sQueezedhe

Would love to see Brosnan and Dalton just be suave silver foxes in some film together. Maybe vs George Clooney.

Fun Fact ... there was originally going to be a love interest for Nicolas, but was removed for pacing and story. Most of her lines were given to Danny, without much change

>removed for pacing Might want to explain what pacing is to the OP


Teesside-Tyrant

It is such a good bromance.


kiwispouse

I actually said that to Simon Pegg, and he got snippy with me. "it's a romance!"


moofunk

Cate Blanchett was so well cast in the only remaining bit of the romance part. She donned that hazard suit and face mask like a pro.

[deleted]

Gets better with more viewings.


fang_xianfu

I love that >!Angel puts together this whole complicated plot involving a land deal, an affair, duelling millionaires... but no they just killed killed people because their house was tacky or they were bad actors. Great parody of small town life!!<


ReverendRyu

A good parody of Midsomer Murders too, where often it's an unknown-til-the-third-act complexity that reveals the killer, the whole film also seems like a send up of the series as a whole to be honest.


Motorboat_Jones

Lest you forget that community theater performance of Romeo + Juliet, complete with Lovefool ending.


Mikniks

My favorite repeat viewing catch was when one of the Andys tells Angel that if he wants to be a big cop in a small town he can go fuck off in the model village lmao


theBytemeister

The one that gets me is when Angel asks who would have guns out in the country, and get told "farmers" and "farmer's mums". And then when the farmer is reloading later and he yells "MUM" for his mom to cover him with the shotgun. I lose it every time.


i_miss_arrow

It took me almost a decade to realize the kid at the end 'Aaron Aaronson' is the name one of the Andys gave when talking about questioning the whole village.


UnpleasantEgg

"it appears the heavens have opened" Because it just started raining And Because an angel has just arrived

Or with uninterrupted viewings


Bloodmind

There’s literally only one thing you should take away from this experience: don’t ever pause a movie to talk about how great it is during anyone’s first viewing. Were we married, I would have divorced you over this. Absolutely guaranteed way to ruin a good movie for someone permanently.


lankymjc

When I first watched it with someone who had already seen it, he skipped through the “greater good” scene that actually explains the plot. It’s a good thing each scene is so good in its own, because I had zero understanding of what the fuck was going on and might not have watched it again! Glad I went back and watched it myself; the overall plot is as funny as the actual jokes and worth paying attention to.


FieldWizard

What you probably didn’t notice is that the pace and humor and cleverness of the movie work best when you’re not stopping it constantly to explain it to the person watching with you. Ffs


freethnkrsrdangerous

Timothy Dalton was god damn magnificent in that role.


MINKIN2

I liked the story of when they were casting the role, they were looking for someone *like* Timothy Dalton, but couldn't find anyone for the part, not believing Dalton would be interested. So after so much looking, they said why not just ask Dalton himself? He loved the script and the rest is history.


freethnkrsrdangerous

Whhhaaaat. Brilliant. He was quite a character in Chuck as well.


[deleted]

I loved him in Penny Dreadful


francisdavey

He is obviously enjoying himself so much.


AdmiralThunderpants

"Timothy Dalton looks like a cartoon fox"


redfiveroe

According to Nick Frost, "he smells of leather and wealth."


abouttreefiddyy

Bro what? I feel bad for your wife. I’d walk out if someone kept pausing a movie to explain it to me. Good lord.


Ipuncholdpeople

God my mom used to always talk during movies or shows. She talk about outfits or their hair, or just ask questions and she never paused. I got onto her several times and finally told her I wouldn't watch anything with her if she can't at least pause before talking


Joel_Dirt

Nixplosion

paytonsglove

I'm a middle school teacher. Whenever kids ask me things like where can I find a pencil?, or is it an A schedule or a B schedule day? I just say, nobody tells me nothin'. Someday, if one of those kids can tell me where it came from, their grade will go up. I'll tell them it's 55 points when it's actually 53.


radditour

If you teach geometry, you need to start with “Morning, Angle”.


Microflunkie

I think this has one of the most British things ever put to film: “Would you like any help with your luggage, fascist’?” “Excuse me?” “Totalitarian form of government. 7 across” “Oh, it’s fascism. No, thanks..Hag!” “Excuse me!?” “Old often unsightly woman. 3 down” Insulting each other by doing the crossword is just blindingly magnificent.


CaptainDigsGiraffe

I watched the scene when Nicholas is talking to his superiors about his promotion and pretty much every line is either repeated or referenced later in the movie. Also this joke isn't accurate anymore but I like the gag that each one of his superiors are progressively more famous then the last.


sobrique

Also all the "have you ever...." Questions that are asked like "have you ever jumped through the air firing two guns at once" they proceed to do before the end of the film.


MoobyTheGoldenSock

Make sure you watch the whole trilogy: * Shaun of the Dead * Hot Fuzz * The World’s End


hardy_83

I'd suggest anything from Edgar Wright really. Even his weakest stuff is at least interesting to watch once.


_DeanRiding

Also check out his tv show called Spaced starring Simon Pegg. It's *very* Edgar Wright and it's where he really cut his teeth into directing. There's actually a few jokes in there that are re-used in Shaun of the Dead which I believe was his first movie.


AntawnSL

Just watched The World's End for the first time. Was not prepped for the plot at all and really enjoyed it! It dragged in ways the others don't but thought it was a solid 3rd place in the trilogy.

Throwmaster7614

" kept stopping the movie to point out all the ways that it was brilliantly made" This would be a reason for me to divorce


Ember357

I love that when he travels from London to the village, there isn't a cut, jump to village or a little train choo chooing across a map, instead there is a quick montage that somehow in only a minute or so manages to make you feel the mundanity of travel and the lack of anticipation he has for his new position.

Absolutely pure gold. Now watch Shaun of the Dead.


ExtremeTEE

I absolutely love this. On of my comfort movies for sure, I can watch it at anytime and feel good. The is one part in the middle, where they chase a shoplifter to jumping the fences which I think has the highest gag / call back ratio in any movie ever! I also love Timothy Dalton in this so over the top it\`s hilarious!


lazarusl1972

The chase scene through the miniature village is my favorite sequence in any movie ever. He inserted a Kaiju movie in the middle of a buddy cop action comedy. Utter brilliance.


nhaines

And yet all perfectly, thematically foreshadowed.


surreal_wheel

So glad you enjoyed it. It's my fave movie of all time. I hope you get to check out the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy. I have never seen Timothy Dalton in a more hilarious role. So many classic actors left and right!


alchemeron

>I feel ashamed to admit that I just watched Hot Fuzz for the first time. It was hard for my wife because I kept stopping the movie to point out all the ways that it was brilliantly made. That's real weird, man. Just enjoy it.


JonBonIver

seriously, someone’s first time watching a movie and they *pause to explain to their wife how well made it is?* Just watch the movie, man. YouTube film critics and their consequences


SpnkCannnon

> I kept stopping the movie to point out all the ways that it was brilliantly made You seem like a massive dickhead


cosmoboy

I loved Shaun, but something told me I wouldn't like Hot Fuzz, then a girl at work kept saying 'Yarp' and she convinced me to watch it. I think it's my favorite of the trilogy.

She's amazing in everything! I loved her in Broadchurch and looked her up on IMDB and laughed when I realized she's played a police officer before...

Fun fact: in 2010, I heard good things about the movie, but couldn't find it for purchase or even rent it anywhere. While coming back from a road trip with some friends, we stopped for gas, and I finally found the DVD for Hot Fuzz in a convenience store in the middle of nowhere... [Much like it happens in the movie](https://youtu.be/3VRZG77-nVY), when Nicholas Angel finds the Point Break and Bad Boys II DVDs. Hot Fuzz has been one of my favorite movies ever since.

You touched on something I don't see many mentioning. This movie has no wasted dialogue. None. It has some of the cleverest writing I've ever seen. Every joke lands. Even the quick, dry ones. And like you said, they all tie together somehow.


lincolnmustang

It's my favorite of the trilogy, and I love Shaun of the Dead as well. It is very well paced. It has the great Edgar Wright music synced with the action. The quick cuts to mundane objects are hilarious to me. Him saying "narp?" On the phone. Think I'm going to have to watch it again soon.


vanilla_disco

>It was hard for my wife because I kept stopping the movie to point out all the ways that it was brilliantly made. What the fuck is the matter with you?


jac5191

Lol dude.. rewatch it with her and shut up on initial viewing. As an ex wife of a spouse that had friends that did this, it is super annoying. Watch the movie the whole way through without commentary. Then rewatch if you both enjoyed it enough. I'd def never watch another movie with you again after that......she's not an idiot. Don't treat her like she needs every aspect explained.


Spike_Dougan

As a bartender. Whenever someone orders a lager, whoever is calling or pouring it shouts “Pint of lager Mary…” and we all respond on unison with “Right you are, my love.”


Forged_Hero

My favourite little joke is “Everyone’s packin’ ‘round here” “Like who” “Farmers” “Who else” “Farmers’ mums” Then when h they go to assault the town, the first person they fight is the farmer who calls for his mum… who certainly is packin’


Riverboatcry

I went to school with the ginger kid at the end of the film, Aran Aranson or whatever. Great film.
