@@raifthemad Well, the three roomates all are problematic for various reasons. Shaun is apathetic: he puts zero effort into anything and drifts through life. He hates his job, loves his girlfriend but does nothing to sustain it and fails at everything because he can't commit to it. Ed is not just apathetic, but as pointed out, actively goes out of his way to be a dick and exacerbate things. He's a manchild, but also can be sincere: just chooses not to be. Pete is portrayed as high-strung and uptight: he moved in with the "party kids" and its even implied he used to be the same as them until a few years back. He could move if he really wanted to, but makes it a point to belittle Shaun because he doesn't like Ed.

@1215298 Жыл бұрын

@@raifthemad No, the point isn't that he just "doesn't want to move": it's that he has lived in the same place since he was in college and was exactly the same as them literally a few years ago, yet he wonders why things aren't changing when *his* life priorities have changed, whilst the other's haven't. It's nothing to do with whether Ed is being an asshole: it's to do with entitlement. Maturity involves more than just being right: it involves self-assessment. Just like Ed can be right and still exacerbate things, Shaun can be right and still be apathetic and so on. Let me put it this way: if Pete were thinking, say, of starting a family, would that be Shaun and Ed's fault if it wasn't a great environment for a kid? Well, yes.....but also, no: any good partner of Pete would likely ask why he hadn't considered moving to a better location. Same can be said with Pete and being a working professional: they're clearly renters and it's not like there's a lack of shared flats for "working professionals" on unsavoury hours going around. And he barely seems to have any attachment to Shaun or Ed: even if he did, he could visit Shaun whenever he has free time. So why not move to a flat of like-minded individuals that will also likely be as cheap, if not cheaper, than a rented house? He may not be the problematic person, but you can still argue that he's the roomate that "doesn't click" and thus is a source of tension. Shaun wouldn't care much about the mess, or the door being slightly ajar because he's similar to Ed (the door being ajar was actually Shaun as well, which is hinted at when he accidentally let's the zombie in).

If you want modern zombie movies, you can't go wrong with Zombieland and the sequel Zombieland: Double Tap. There's also World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, Warm Bodies with Nicholas Hoult, and the Resident Evil series starring Mila Jovavich. A lot of people have issues with the Resident Evil movies, but I personally think they're fun and enjoyable. Sure, they're not exactly Oscar-worthy, but they're fun movies regardless. Also, if you're interested in branching out to vampires, there are series like Underworld and Blade that are good too.

The whole Cornetto trilogy is known for packing in clever references and easter eggs, for example, the TV news anchorman utters the same lines as the T.V anchor on night of the living dead, the claims on the TV at the end that 'the epidemic was due to rage infected monkeys is a reference to the film 28 days later, the fish restaurant that Shaun picks Fauci's is a reference to Italian horror director Lucio Falci, and the store that Shaun works for " Foree electronics" is a reference to Ken Foree one of the stars of Dawn of the dead... there are many more if you search for them, these films are pure genius. great reaction

@christianwise637 Жыл бұрын

Good job picking up on "we're coming to get you Barbara" as a reference to Night of the Living Dead! That was one of many deliberate film references that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, being the massive nerds they are, wrote into the script. And even funnier, it completely flew over the head of George Romero, the writer-director of Night of the Living Dead, who didn't realise it was a reference until Wright called him to ask what he thought! Also, Cornettos are a fairly popular ice cream here in the UK, which Wright would use as a hangover cure when he was a student. A Cornetto appears in each of the three films, with its colour/flavour corresponding to the genre of the film - so here, it's a red strawberry flavour, which fits with all the blood and gore you'd expect from a zombie film

I would just suggest you don't go into those expecting everything yo be ecplained or even make sense, since they're more about style and invoking a waking dream-like atmosphere with their scares. But 'Zombie' is definitely much more straightforward and accessible and deserving of more attention and recognition.

This wonderfully creative and wacky genre comedy show launched the careers of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and director/writer Edgar Wright. It has the same kind of heartfelt humor as the Cornetto Trilogy. Some of the side actors on "Spaced" also make small cameos throughout this trilogy.

Great job, Miss Jenny. As always, I watch both your long-play Patreon and the YT versions. I always pick up little things I miss and enjoy the little bits you add. You'd enjoy Hot Fuzz, with many of the same actors (and an older Timothy Dalton), madcap and heartfelt, and the same with World End. You definitely should watch the trilogy of comedies. Simon Pegg is a great writer and comedic actor, and you'll love the music.

You're correct that the movie is packed with references to other classic zombie movies. At the very end, when the newscaster says in the background that "the outbreak originated from rage-infected monkeys" that's a reference to the movie "28 Days Later." The scene when the group starts to fight with each other inside the Winchester is a direct homage to "Dawn of the Dead." A common theme among classic zombie movies is that the real threat isn't the zombies, but other humans.

21:26 That window he broke is at shoulder height for him, and apparently at head height for most of the zombs you see in the frame, so how are they supposed to follow? Lumbering, uncoordinated things wouldn't be able to climb up. Of course for film plot to move along, when they're inside, suddenly those windows drop about a meter, or the ground raises up outside, for those zuumbas to feel like a threat.

The title "Shaun of the Dead" is a pun of "Dawn of the Dead", the second Zombie film made by George A. Romero. The best thing about this movie, is that it is a proper Zombie film, even though it is a comedy parody. The Cornetto Trilogy is named after the Ice Cream, as it appears in all three films...

I forget where in the DVD there was what happened when but in a comic book fashion they showed what happened wheen Sean drew the zombies from the Winchester. It also showed how the female roommate survived. When she realized fighting a horde of zombies armed only with the leg of your deceased boyfriend was untenable. she climbed a tree. The soldiers found her later. She was kind of catatonic for a while.

You will adore Hot Fuzz. It's called the Cornetto Trilogy because Cornetto ice cream makes a brief appearance in each one, a different flavor thematically tied to the movie. Which is pretty genius. For the future, when you go back and rewatch these (and you definitely should) pay attention to everything. Edgar Wright's writing is razor sharp and you'll find callbacks and payoffs everywhere. Especially in Hot Fuzz.

@BTAColorado Жыл бұрын

"Those ice creams" that you love are called Cornetto. The "Trilogy" aspect of these movies is related to the fact there is a scene in each movie where they are eating Cornetto. The plots of the movies are not related, but they are all awesome.

So the Cornetto Trilogy is kind of like Kieslowski's Troi Couleurs, a French drama trio each named after the three colors of the French flag and each exploring the thematic concepts of each color. They aren't sequentially linked, but do explore intersecting ideas and themes. You don't at all have to think of the three as connected, but you might a further enriching beauty in contemplating how the three do relate and present an interesting conversation between them. Personally, World's End might be my favorite

Killing zombies to Queen...gotta love it!! [[Sidenote]] Noticed there was a poster in the protagonist's apartment for 'The Herbaliser', a great band on the Ninja Tune label, and I highly recommend anyone check out their jam band-type instrumentals. I think Ninja Tune is a label based out of 🇨🇦, and it is well known among beat junkies for hits like "Who's The Realist?", "Goldrush", "Shattered Soul", & "The Missing Suitcase". I think 'The Herbaliser' is from London, England, so no wonder it was on his wall.

There was also references to Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985) by George Romero though not really related to Night of the Living Dead do form a sort of triology in that they're all zombie films that deals with mankind dealing with such an outbreak. The death of David especially is a big throwback to Day of the Dead. You were absolutely right about the :"Coming to get you Barbara." it is a hommage to night of... They're called the Cornetto triology because in each of them at some point, a cornetto appears. Won't give any major spoilers for Hot Fuzz but i'll just say that Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed) do star in it, albeit in different roles. Others that appeared in Shaun have cameos in Hot Fuzz (like Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy). Check out for Timothy Dalton who of course plays James Bond in The Living Daylights and License to Kill. This might be his most well known non James Bond movie role and he's just great in it.

There are lots of references from the other classic Z movies, "theyre coming to get you Barbara" is a big one, but subbtle things like the music similar to whats in Romero's Dawn of the Dead 1978, How David got torn apart, ref from Day of the Dead 1985, Ed being chained up and playing games ref Bub from Day of the Dead, and lots more. Really enjoyed the reaction, I think you should watch Dawn and Day as you have watched Night of the Living Dead . Theres a few versions of Dawn of the Dead, Im sure someone will chip in and recommend the best one. You will like Hot Fuzz, its great. 28 days later is also good and was referenced in this movie, the outbreak coming from monkeys, its got it all lol. Looking forward to seeing the other reactions, Till then have a great day.

A fun little bit of movie trivia I learned from a video intro Simon Pegg did for a marathon showing of the whole cornetto trilogy I went to when The World's End came out - this movie contains 77 uses of the F word. On a side note, the DVD extras for this film contain a hilarious joke "family friendly cut" intended to be shown before the 10 o'clock watershed (not actually though) of the scene where Pete yells at Shaun and Ed, which replaces every swear word with a similar sounding word such as Funk, Prink, or Barstool.
