That new episode of Breaking Bad, oh my god. This season is already shaping up to be better than the last one.

I just saw The World's End. It was... okay. Not bad. But there were no big laughs for me and it just felt... shallow. Unsubstantial. I don't mind silly and ridiculous films; after all, I loved Shaun and Fuzz. It's just that the earlier films were just more... everything.



As you can probably tell, I'm having trouble expressing what I didn't like about it.

Was it as big a disappointment as Paul?

Haven't seen it. And I wasn't expecting much of Paul as I was of this.

Basically, I have no particular expectations of a Simon Pegg film, but I do have high expectations of anything from Edgar Wright.

I never found Shaun or Hot Fuzz to be particularly funny, to be honest. I thought they were good movies; well shot and solidly written but they never made me bust a gut the way people seem to think they should, and I've never watched them with anyone who says so who actually did get such a laugh. Maybe it needs more drunk male prostitutes to get a laugh out of me. I just think of them as competent action films, which is all they really are. World's End looks annoyingly similar with a bigger budget.

Edgar Wright peaked with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

i want to see World's End but i didn't particularly like Hot Fuzz. or Paul. only one i liked was SOTD for some reason. therefore i anticipate disappointment. never know though.

I saw that last week. Since I didn't read or watch anything about the film, The whole thing took me by surprise. Therefore I really enjoyed it. The whole film was just funny throughout.

I saw Pacific Rim last night. It kicked ass, go see it.

For what it's worth, it's closer in tone and content to SotD than the other two films.

Paul actually has nothing to do with the other three. It's not part of the trilogy.

How is it a trilogy? Are you saying they are the same characters?

Oh, so it isn't a trilogy. Okay.

Wings, what is your sudden obsession with toplel?

Yes it is a trilogy. It's three unrelated stories with little nods to each other, such as the characters, which are basically the same, the fence jumping and oh yeah, Cornettos. It's a trilogy.

A wink, a nod and an ice cream do not a trilogy make.

Well it's official name is "The Cornetto Trilogy". Make of that what you will.

Well... I ate some ice cream today. It's tetralogy now.

It's a dumb joke. The only thing it represents is the creator's total lack of funny isn't just limited to inside their films.

Let's please not argue whether it's a trilogy or not. It's a stupid trilogy, but it's their damn trilogy and they said it is so that's that.

Yes but you're not Simon Pegg or Nick Frost, and you didn't attempt to jump over a fence and fail miserably.

Damn, WoF, too speedy.

yeah i saw that advertised. coming to cinema next month.

Did you know that my feet are actually eggs?

We were all eggs at one point.

So deep MM. So, so deep.

Not as deep as....eh, that joke's old. Older than Cornetto ice cream. Now it's a quintology.

We're an Oddworld forum. We love fake quintologies.

We're THE Oddworld Forum. Anyone other forum is false.

Are there even any other active Oddworld forums out there? When I joined this was the only one I could find

If there were others, I would just go post my fanfics in them.

I think there was a Portuguese one at some point. A guy stopped by to advertise it and maybe steal some OWF design assets.
