    yeah Al, I'm was wondering if anyone would pick up that obscure reference and start a conversation about :)

    ...bash 'em in the head, that seems to work. Ow.

    maybe we can all discuss the intricacies of that movie, since not too many are interested in sharing photoworks tips :O

    I'm a big fan of that team's movies. If you haven't, check out Spaced, a Brit TV series with some very familiar faces...

    Man, I'm laughing out loud just thinking about some of the scenes from that movie! - how many ways can you kill a zombie?

    I think I liked Hot Fuzz a little bit more - perhaps I just haven't worn out enough DVD copies of it yet..

    but enough with the zombies dude - HELLBOY II is coming..
