So, um, sorry about that.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, the movie I saw was <a title=\"One Night. Six Friends. Twelve Pubs. Total Annihilation.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1213663\/\" target=\"_blank\">The World&#8217;s End<\/a>, a movie which you no doubt already knew you wanted to see because of its links to the brilliant <a title=\"My review of Shaun of the Dead\" href=\"http:\/\/www.delirium.org\/?p=15\" target=\"_blank\">Shaun of the Dead<\/a> and the pretty okay <a title=\"My review of Hot Fuzz\" href=\"http:\/\/www.delirium.org\/?p=289\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Fuzz<\/a>. The formula is not precisely the same as before, I guess? Where the other two movies were parodies of the zombie and action genre, this is less parody and more mash-up. In the unlikely event that you aren&#8217;t spoiled for the mash-up by previews, I will leave out one of the genres, but the other is&#8230;. well, okay, hard to qualify. It&#8217;s not precisely coming of age, because although Simon Pegg plays an uncomfortably old-looking man-child, all of his friends have clearly grown up[1]. It&#8217;s not precisely whatever genre The Big Chill is, if only because the mood isn&#8217;t nearly as solemn as all that.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, whatever it is, it&#8217;s funny and well-acted and building towards something meaningful and fellowshippy, when suddenly&#8230;. but, y&#8217;know, that&#8217;s why you should go see it.<\/p>\n<p>On an unrelated note, I am sad that I do not have a bar named The World&#8217;s End to go to.
