Ahoy, squirts! Quint here and while Brundle_Fly doesn't really say that Edgar is bootilicious, I can say from personal experience that he is. But Edgar bribes me with digital man kisses that the deepest, darkest part of me secretely treasures. I'd love to take a look at this SPACED set. I love the series and can confirm that Simon, Nick and Edgar are all some of the best people on this earth, not to mention their incredible talents... if you know what I mean. hehe.
I sat down with all those guys for 45 minutes, but if you've been to their blog, you'll notice that what we did wasn't really an interview, just a chat among geeks... no preparation, no real structure. I tried to transcribe it anyway, but it's a jumbled mess that's funny to me, but I'm afraid it really just doesn't make any sense. Half completed thoughts and sentences, wild tangents... It's nuts, but I don't think it'll make it onto the page. I will say that I learned what a "Bellend" was during that chat and it is now one of my favorite words. But enough about that, let's get to the meat of this bitch! Brundle_Fly got to chat with the SPACED folk and has some words to share with you good people! Enjoy! XXXXXX
Hey Moriarty!
Just got back from the signing of a 3 disc collectors edition of 'Spaced' in Forbidden Planet London. I don't know if any of you have seen it but it has soom really cool cover art done in the same style as the Star Wars posters. I have to say that all five of the guys there-Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson, Nick Frost, Julia Deakin and director Edgar Wright were well on form and really approachable and chatty and seemed to genuinely appreciate their fanbase. Simon and Jessica were really ripping the p*** out of each other which was fun to stand back and witness (the closest I'll ever get to that 3rd series I guess). I'll just add here that Jessica Stevenson was looking absolutely stunning, and that I considered... well you know that scene at the beginning of 'Unbreakable' where Bruce Willis is on the train talking to the woman and he subtlely takes his wedding ring off before speaking to her.... but hey who am I trying to kid...! The 'Spaced' soundtrack was playing in the background and about 3 tracks in Julia Deakin recognised one of the songs and said "Oh this is familiar" to which Nick Frost and Edgar Wright were like "It's from 'Spaced'! It's on the DVD..." (holding it up to hr-(the dvd)) She said that she couldn't remember as she didn't have a dvd player. That's when Simon and Jessica jokingly asked everyone in the queue to donate some money towards one. When I got my dvd signed by Edgar Wright I congratulated him on 'Shaun of the Dead's' strong US opening (2nd highest screen average and 3.3 million in just 600 screens) He thanked me and said it was awsome. I then asked him if it was true that they were going to do an action film next, and he hesitated and said yes they were -an action comedy- much in the same vein as SOTD!! I for one can't wait!!!!!
Hope you can use this!
