I could sit here and make up some topical reason to pay tribute to Hot Fuzz, but being topical is overrated, and Hot Fuzz is super awesome and that’s really all the reason I need. That, and out of respect for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost I found myself adding Paul to my Netflix queue the other day even though I know I’m going to be disappointed by it, which got me to thinking I should probably just rewatch Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead over and over again instead. Topical enough?
I doubt “Tumblr-friendly” is the visual style Edgar Wright is going for when he makes movies but it certainly works out that way. His films translate to shareable images and GIFs better than any other director I can think of. I may be forced to do a “Best of #Scott Pilgrim” sooner rather than later simply to due the surplus of cool material out there. But for now prepare to be punched in the face by the Point Break tier awesome that is #Hot Fuzz.
I saved the super graphic GIFs for the final slides as a favor to those of you who are squeamish or have never seen the movie. Consider yourself being judged if either happen to be the case.
