Hot Fuzz is the best thing the Spaced team have done yet. Far better, IMHBCO, than the frankly disappointing Shaun of the Dead. Go see. Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once!
In case you've missed the publicity, Simon Pegg plays Sgt Nicholas Angel, a tough, hard-hitting supercop from London. An expert in firearms, special tactics, high-speed driving, and community relations, he's reassigned to the sleepy village of Sandford for making everyone else's arrest records look bad. There, the by-the-book, politically-correct, married-to-the-force Angel is partnered with PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), a drunken slob with a love of high-octane cop movies. Angel settles uneasily into a life of policing church fetes, but is Sandford really as sleepy as it seems? Trailer here (also highly recommended)
In other news, I am going to try to give up alcohol, caffeine and chips for Lent. Previous experience suggests that caffeine's going to be the big one: much of yesterday was spent in a haze of tiredness and headaches, and I think I'm due for about a week of this (though I didn't get much sleep on Tuesday night, so maybe the rest of the week will be better), followed by five weeks of dying for a cup of tea. I have yet to find a hot drink with the right qualities - all the alternatives lack, well, body.
