Of course, I didn't see any of that until 3 hours later.
That scene is near the end of "Toon In With Me", when they're screening their film to adoring fans and Bash Hashtag.
Just what was the premise for their masterpiece?
That's right, the undead were taking care of all those red-tape jobs that slow us down from getting on with our lives!
Hahahaha!
Fortunately, my last call was directly to Medicare.
One call, one person (Alfredo Cruze), and the problem was resolved.
I'm so glad this continued government shutdown didn't keep that person from doing his job!
This was Wednesday, after all, so a trip to Asbury Memorial set up for dinner.
So good to spend time with Sherry G and Lowell, getting to know these transplants from Thomasville, a town I've been through often!
Then, I finished my peach cobbler talking with Pam and Walt again!
Chicken Marsala was the entree, though I let someone else have my mushrooms.
After all the news from my ex about life in the fungi, I just don't find them appealing.
How could I eat music-lovers like me?
(smile!)
bwah hah hah!!!
The Cornetto trilogy were three films written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, all directed by Wright and starring Pegg with a varying cast, but always having Nick Frost in a buddy role.
Titled "Shaun Of The Dead", it came out in 2004.
The two men were in their early 30's then.
Simon was a bit of a slacker, but not nearly so much as Nick was.
In fact, they are both such slackers that they don't even realize that the zombie apocalypse has arrived until it comes in their front door... which they'd left unlocked, despite numerous warnings from their flatmate.
Then it's up to them to save a handful of folks, including Nick's ex-girlfriend and his mom.
Pretty funny stuff!
The next Cornetto film was "Hot Fuzz" in 2007.
This time, Simon is a gung-ho city cop sent to chill out in a small country town and Nick, the slacker son of the police chief, becomes his partner.
Nick has seen every buddy cop movie out there and sets about catching up Simon to how that vibe works, especially with "Bad Boys II".
I really loved that Pegg-Frost comedy!
I saw it yesterday evening.
The last film of the Cornetto trilogy was "The World's End", from 2013.
I'm certain I saw that one during the pandemic.
It was about a group of folks trying to make it to a bar with that moniker, all while the world was falling apart at the seams from an alien invasion.
So, what's different about that non-trilogy movie, "Paul"?
"Paul" is the one that started my run on Pegg-Frost buddy flicks.
I watched it on Monday, as there was naught else on TV... and loved it!!!
I chose it because I thought I remembered the scifi spoof playing out in Pooler a couple of years ago, but I'd missed it.
Well, it came out in 2011, so it certainly wouldn't have been that recent.
However, it takes two geeks from England, in America for a nerd convention and then a road trip to hit scifi hotspots, like Area 51.
Their trip gets derailed when they come across an actual alien!
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost wrote that screenplay, and had Greg Mottola direct.
Truly hilarious!!!
That's when I noticed Peacock currently has two movies of the "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy in their line-up, so I've added these to the "My Stuff" bin there.
Oh, yes, I feel sure I'll be seeing them again!
It's football season and I'm quite disappointed how many nights that sport is taking up space on television.
Good to have viewing options!
That said, I'm off to watch the World Series!
The Toronto Blue Jays are up against the Los Angeles Dodgers - so it's truly a WORLD series of baseball games, not just a United States series.
Go, Blue Jays!
