Paul

[kybearfuzz]

Amid the errands and such I did this weekend, I took some time to see Paul on Saturday. I am a big Simon Pegg and Nick Frost fan, so I really was happy to see this get released.

Pegg and Frost play two British comic book/sci-fi geeks who go on an alien roadtrip in the southwest after hitting Comic Con. After a few visits to the local sights, they end up finding a real alien named Paul after he wrecks his getaway car.

The two help Paul in his escape from "The Big Man" and hit one adventure after another on their way to his final destination. It's full of fantastic sci-fi movie trivia and homages. A favorite among the many was a visit to a country-western bar where the musicians are playing the Tatooine (sp?) bar music from Star Wars with country instruments. I laughed out loud many times, a couple of times I was pretty much the only one who got it.

Pegg and Frost are adorable in the movie, which only proves the fact that nerds can be hot. This one is definitely one to see again (if only to see whatever I might have missed the first time) and one to add to the DVD shelf with "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz."

I really want to see this, it looks totally fun. Glad to hear you liked it.

I really can't wait to see it again.

It will probably have to wait for DVD, but yeah, can't wait.
Nick Frost is possibly the cutest thing on earth.

There is something about him that just makes me want to hug him!

[prisoncitybear.livejournal.com]

Ok, you hug him, I have other plans.

Oooh... do tell. Do they involve your pottery wheel? :)

I adore Pegg and Frost, and was supposed to see it with a friend this weekend, but missed it. It's definitely on my to-do list, though.

Oh I'm sorry you didn't get to see it. There's always this weekend. It's very worth the time.

I really liked it -- more than I thought I would.

Favorite moment: When Gwyneth Paltrow's mom yells "Get away from her you BITCH!" at the Big Man. Hehe!

Oh I adored when she worried about her pot in the house ;D

i saw it saturday and we could tell who the potheads in the audience were coz they laughed way too hard at all the weed references.

i loved it. it was much better than I thought it would be - especially after Run Fat Boy Run, which was just okay.

My favorite part was the c&w covering the Star Wars Canteena song too! That and the Lorenzo Zoil reference!
