"Run Fatboy Run" -- is this gonna suck?

I think the assumptions in this thread that a Simon Pegg movie should be compared to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are weird. Simon Pegg does have a pretty decent career outside of the two movies he’s done with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost (and of course, Spaced). This is the second movie he’s done with David Schwimmer (I think they became friends on the set of Band of Brothers). The first was Big Nothing and it’s a pretty dark black comedy–I was more disturbed than amused, though Pegg did a great job.

Simon is doing a film with Nick Frost (but not with Edgar Wright) called Paul, and he and Wright are currently writing the third in the “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy. Unfortunately, there’s no info about that floating around, except that it’ll involve green Cornettos (as opposed to red for blood and blue for cops).

After having suffered through “Wedding Daze,” which also was written by Michael Ian Black (a movie that resorted to BOOGER JOKES), I am going to have to go with, “Yes, this is going to suck.”

Michael Ian Black’s funny and awesome; you shut up. :slight_smile:

(I saw him do stand-up here in D.C. a couple months ago, and he was great. Best moment was probably when he turned away at one point and an audience member shouted, “Nice ass!” His immediate response: “You should see it from the inside.” :smiley: Good stuff.)
