Simon Pegg

[Jo Dawn]

So, I'm a fan of Mr Simon Pegg (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0670408/) and am looking for some recommendations, or criticisms of his work. I own Shaun of the Dead, and I've seen Hot Fuzz... Anything else strike anyone's fancy?

I'm really a fan of his work that I've seen thus far. I'd like to see what people think of his other work, his shows included.

Thanks!

[Jester]

I've only seen Shaun (I own it). Need to see Hot Fuzz. Run Fatboy Run looks like it might be good.

[Brodie]

Buy the tv series Spaced. That and Shaun of the Dead are some of his (and his pal's) best work. He made MI3 worth watching also.

[Jo Dawn]

Oh yes, thanks! I saw MI3, also. I almost forgot about that!

[Roseangelo]

I second Spaced.

[Ecto Jedi]

Hot Fuzz was awesome, indeed. Run Fatboy Run wasn't as good, but still worth a look. It definitely had its moments, and if you're a fan of Pegg, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

I third Spaced. And his movie "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is out now, but as I haven't seen it yet, I can't really reccomend it.

[KROW]

I third Spaced.

I fourth it. Also, "Run, Fatboy, Run" is good for a Pegg fix, though the plot is pretty weak.

I wouldn't watch any Pegg stuff he hasn't had a hand in creating. He's fast turning into 'goofy romcom guy' outside of his own work.

He did some funny stuff on an old UK sketch show 'Big Train':

You may also recognise some other British faces in comedy, specifically Mark Heap (Brian in Spaced) who is fantastic.

I can't believe I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet... I love Shaun of the Dead :o (who doesn't :P)

[junkboy]

Spaced is the best "thing" ever.
One of the most creative shows since the creation. And i mean it.

Also another announced movie consisting himself and his buddy Nick Frost.
That movie has the potential to be a killer too i think.

Neither me... tho i do not believe Pegg + Megan Fox is a good idea. But i have not seen the movie yet as i said.

I'll cast one more vote for Spaced. WATCH IT OR SUCK!

And he's a Redshirt! Nooo!

I think pretty much all that is good and Simon Pegg has been covered here Jo. Do make sure you watch Spaced at least once in your lifetime.

I'll just reiterate what everybody else already said - watch Spaced. I recently saw Run, Fat Boy, Run and I really enjoyed that as well. I'll see How to Lose Friends and Alienate People eventually as well, I can't get enough Meghan Fox.

[Jo Dawn]

Bought Spaced. Started last night, will watch more soon.

[RAM BAM]

I love "Hot Fuzz". It's a delightful off-beat comedy.
Still haven't seen "Shawn of the Dead" yet.

Shaun

SotD is, IMO, better than Hot Fuzz.

[Mandi-chan]

I also suggest "Spaced".

Everything that the Pegg/Frost/Wright team do together is pure gold in my book!

[Jo Dawn]

I do like 'Shaun' better than 'Fuzz', but that could be because of my affinity for zombies. Farce or not.
