Title: Confidential to Miles re: Simon Pegg
Post by: Kim Kelly on June 15, 2009, 03:35:05 PM
The ladies and gays love Simon Pegg.

Here (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_startrek/208021.html#cutid1) is a post filled with hundreds of comments confessing their love for their favorite GQ motherfucker crew member, Scotty. A few quotes:

Quote
I SERIOUSLY THINK HE'S HOT AS HELL AND I WISH "TIM" FROM SPACED WAS REAL SO I COULD HANG OUT AT THE COMIC SHOP AND TALK ABOUT MONSTERS AND PRETEND TO SHOOT EACH OTHER :( :( :(

Quote
LOL aw bb, isn't it awful pining for a fictional character :( but i think Tim is pretty close to the real life Simon lol. Why is he married... :( :( :(

Quote
HIS LEGS ARE FANTASTIC. The reason I've seen Run, Fatboy, run approx. 19284 times is because of the liberal use of short-shorts.

Quote
he's so freaking pretty it hurts. :'(

Quote
ILU SIMON. UNF.

Quote
why dont i know any boys like this man
depressing much

Oh, and there's even more fangirling here (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_startrek/34481.html) over his actual GQ motherfucking cover/spread:

(Ooh, profile of Jarvis Cocker?? Coincidence?)

Do you feel better now, Miles?

Also, Simon Pegg has the dubious honor of now being featured in a shit-ton of New Star Trek slash fan fiction. Hoo boy.

It's a little sad that my first thought in reading the above quotes, was wondering how the Simon Pegg "UNF" compares to the Alyssa Milano "grunt" from a few months back.

Ok, that's a lot sad.

Miles doesn't like being compared to Simon Pegg because Simon Pegg is British, and Miles is an awful xenophobe.

I'm so in the flesh right now.

Clearly you haven't noticed that Simon has incredible legs, and it's worth sitting through anything just for a glimpse of those stems, amirite?

 Run Fat Boy Run was good. Fuck the haters.

 If it said, "Directed by Edgar Wright" you would've loved it.

You know, I just watched that movie, and I didn't notice his legs at all.  What's ailing me?

I have *yet* to see it, but even I remember his legs!

(I have a very strangely selective memory and I can still recall seeing a few previews or the commercials for it).

Are you fucking with me? I went to see it BECAUSE of Simon Pegg and because I actually really LIKE David Schwimmer. I waited in a three-block line at SXSW to see it by myself.  

And for the record, I never even finished a whole episode of Spaced because I thought it was boring and not very funny at all. Whenever I hear the name Edgar Wright my mind first goes to an albino guitar player. Then it says, wait, who is that?

I LIKE MORE CRAP THAN ANYONE. DON"T YOU READ MY POSTS??? SO LAY OFF!!!!

(all caps hugman strikes again)

PS-i just wiki'd simon pegg's legs (peg legs?) and now i like Run Fatboy Run. So never mind.

I have not seen Run, Fatboy, Run ... it was actually on TV today, and I opted to watch DVR'd 30 Rock.

But I like Shaun of the Dead and Hott Fuzz.  Those are the only two that I consider to be "his" movies.  And he does keep the cast of Look Around you fairly busy.

Thanks, hugman... Thugman.

I love Spaced so much.

I've got some fucking jaffa cakes in my pockets.
Title: Re: Confidential to Miles re: Simon Pegg
Post by: James W on June 17, 2009, 01:00:15 PM
I think Spaced completely eclipses the movies. Obviously TV and movies are different things, but I also think its because Pegg/Stevenson are a better writing team than Pegg/Wright.

Hopefully Scott Pilgrim (Bacall (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0045209/)/Wright) will be good though, I love those comet boots.
Title: Re: Confidential to Miles re: Simon Pegg
Post by: hugman on June 17, 2009, 03:30:38 PM
Wait, so is Wright not even involved in Spaced?  YOU SEE HOW MUCH I DON'T KNOW???

Wright was the director for the whole series. And it was my understanding (assumption?) that he contributed to the writing, as well. He definitely brought the stylistic touches (whip pans, visual homages, etc.)

It actually wasn't until I found out Edgar Wright was directing the Scott Pilgrim movie that I realized how similar Scott Pilgrim and Spaced are (I don't mean in a rip-offy kind of way). I can't imagine anyone better suited to direct it, though I still don't understand the need for an adaptation like that. I guess it might make O'Malley some $.

Hey Hug, don't you mean an albino Sax-player/ keyboardist?

His brother Johnny plays the guitar.

Yeah, sorry, I specifically meant writing. He's a great visual stylist, obviously, but I don't think he did any writing for Spaced at all.

And more! (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/36582839.html) I find this endlessly amusing.

The girls are also fawning over Nick Frost.

I actually noticed Mr. Pegg's leggs (sorry) in Shaun of the Dead...I remember thinking they lacked curvature. As in, his calves looked stumpy. I haven't noticed since then, I just remember my thoughts as I watched it.
