Hot Fuzz Love

Every once in a while I'll see a movie that really captures my imagination. I'll want to see it over and over again. I'll scour IMDB.com for all the info I can find on it. Sometimes I'll find forums dedicated to it with the hope of answering unanswered questions I may have from the movie. Films that have captured me in the past were Fight Club, The Prestige, Casino Royale and Velvet Goldmine.

Recently I discovered Hot Fuzz and Simon Pegg. I hate to be late to a party, but there you have it. I've always been a bit of an anglophile, especially when it comes to their entertainment: Monty Python, Absolutely Fabulous, Benny Hill, Shakespeare ;) Hot Fuzz had it all, action, humor, intrigue and gore (yeah, could have lived without the gore). And it had Brits. I have a crush on Simon Pegg now. Turns out he's quite an accomplished writer and actor, so he deserves my adoration. Now, I really want to see Run, Fatboy, Run. I've been wondering whether I should see Shaun of the Dead. The gore was my least favorite part of Hot Fuzz so I'm not sure if I want to see a zombie movie. Has anyone seen it? Should I check it out?
