Me? A man-crush on Simon Pegg?

I disagree! I just happen to really enjoy that dudes work.

Think about it.

Shaun of the Dead? You laughed your ass off. That is, without a doubt, one of my top 5 movies of all time. Hell, I was Shaun for halloween.

Hot Fuzz? EVERYTHING that a good mocking movie should be. And he kicks an old lady in the throat.

Run, Fat Boy, Run. Despite David Shwimmer directing it, funny ass flick.

HOWEVER, there was life before zombie flicks for Simon Pegg. He was in a show called “Spaced”. I ran into the show when I was in Scotland for spring break one year.

Basically, simon’s character needs a place to stay, and he winds up pretending he’s in a relationship with a girl named Daisy, to move into a nice place that requires a “working couple”. no singles, fooker.

Anywho, the fiance bought me the box set of said tv show for muh birfday, but it’s a region 2 disc. the US is region 1. luckily, i’m enough on an anglo-phile that i would own a multi-region dvd player.

HOWEVER, the boxset is being released for region 1, ANNNNNNNNNNNND they’re playing it on BBC America.

seriously, funny as balls. the paintball episode and free form art episode are CLASSIC. you cant call yourself a simon pegg fan without owning that show.

PWNED!

I cannot get enough of Gordon Ramsey yelling at people!

“Hell’s Kitchen”  is ok but he really goes berserk on his other show “Kitchen Nightmares’ and it’s just fantastic. Gordon Ramsey who is supposedly a rock star, a god in culinary circles, Ill admit i had never heard of the guy before he popped up on Hell’s Kitchen.  As someone commented on line he’s essentially known now as a “professional Douche” where he just berates and belittles people on TV and I do not know why but I love every minute of it. How does he get away with that?  I think it’s only because he’s a brit, if Simon Cowell were an American people would just punch him for the things he says, no one would find him charming or amusing, same with Gordon Ramsey! and I have to admit every time he goes into a restaurant that is failing, orders a meal, eats it, hates it, and then berates the chef, and the entire staff, I just love every second of it. There have been episodes where I really thought he was going to get dinged upside the head with a spatula or a soup ladle or something because he was just such a bastard to the chef he had come to help. Of course within one hour he’s taken an eatery on the brink of financial ruin, transformed it with a new menu, and his design team that has come in and done six months worth of renovations overnight,  and another restaurant is saved. I cant believe how entertained I am watching a foreign  blowhard chef scream at a bunch of clueless cooks!. “Kitchen Nightmares”, on fox, I DVR it every week, maybe I’m just sick but I love to watch the abuse!

 

 That is all, END TRANSMISSION!
