Me too, once it’s not spelt the way I expect (Seán) I don’t differentiate. I don’t mean not to, but they don’t make sense to me so they are just put in the mental box of “other spelling”

I think The World’s End is my favorite of the three movies, because of the deft filmmaking and themes, but Hot Fuzz is the most rewatchable, and is also a tour de force of genre homage. Never been much of a zombie movie fan, so while I like Shaun, and appreciate its homage, it’s not my favorite.

I also saw The World’s End in the theater and didn’t care for it that much at first but sitting with it and rewatching it I’ve come to appreciate it more and more.
I loved Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz from the very first, and still find they’re just as great no matter how many times I watch them again, but The World’s End is the one that gets better every time I go back to it.

This is probably unusual, but of the three films, the only one I’ve seen is The World’s End. I enjoyed it. I still don’t really have much interest in watching the other two. I don’t know why, really. I like the actors. For whatever reason, I just have no interest in watching them.

I have always thought this one was underrated, it has some great writing and feels honed to a fine art of Wright & Co. really mastering their craft, but i agree that King is difficult to like and extremely manipulative. Hot Fuzz is probably peak cornetto despite it taking a while for me to really love for some reason. I also wonder if this one has a very specific British take on small town life and the takeover of bland corporate pubs that alienates international viewers.

Why is it called a trilogy? The films seem totally unrelated.

OOhhkayy. Funny fence jumps in all three. That still doesn’t explain it unless Cornetto is English slang for fence jumping? Is it supposed to be ironic calling it a trilogy?
BTW I enjoyed watching all three.

It’s a joke about cinematic pretentiousness. Three films, all starring Pegg and Frost, all directed by Edgar Wright, and all featuring a cornetto for a few seconds. Is there a deeper connection, a thematic continuum that weaves the three films together?
