simon pegg – Moe Lane

The TRUTH SEEKERS Amazon series trailer.

I like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s stuff, in case you didn’t know that already. Watching them have fun on TV for a season or so sounds like it would be fun. And, of course, they’re both big ol’ geeks so that’ll be a plus.

Rivers of London series picked up by Stolen Picture.

Oh, nice.

Truly epic news for fans of @Ben_Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series: the books are heading to TV screens, with @simonpegg and @nickjfrost's production company producing: https://t.co/tuooxgYavh

Just saw “The World’s End.”

I quite liked it. It took a little while to get started, and like the other two movies in this… triptych?… it was actually about something else than what shows up in the trailer; but the former was (as Howard Tayler noted) forgivable and the latter wasn’t really a bug. The only other thing that I can think about this film that might give people cause is the language, which is pretty much why the movie got an R rating. British profanity is a good deal more, ah, robust than ours; and the movie took full advantage.

Still, great flick.

PS: There’s a hell of a lot of stuff going on in this film in the background and under your nose; I’m going to have to watch it again for all the subtleties.

I don’t QUITE have the nerve to quote Simon Pegg directly here…

…but good GOD but I can see his point. Without visualizing it, in any way, shape, or form.

PS: You realize, of course, that Simon Pegg is officially Living The Nerd Dream. And God love him for it.
