I basically just said the same thing. Classic dry British wit and humor. My family on both sides (though we are 2 generations American now, are British to the backbone so we truly appreciate the English language and it’s unique humor and love of laughter in general. My last name, Willis (I found out) dates all the way back to the Norman Conquest, and all of our other family names are equally quintessentially English with the exception of the couple of Scots (McCaleb and McNeese) that slipped in. I think our appreciation for all things British (including humor of course) is absolutely genetic at this point.

Isayonelove come to England if you want more of it. It's how everyone talks, or the uk in general tbh. Aussies tend to have similar humour to us brits as well

[@Atomykpimp]

The interaction between Ogden and Wade in Ready Player One at the end is so good and so heartfelt. It’s just one of those movies you can watch over and over again each time it’s on.

Best trilogies: 3. Lord of the rings 2. The dark knight trilogy 1. The cornetto trilogy True facts Thx for the likes!

[@SilkfireStudios]

Captain America trilogy is up there too but definitely

[@SilkfireStudios]

Kullen Norton it’s a personal opinion I think they’re all good trilogies

[@thewalkingdeadlife7006]

Cornetto trilogy is the only trilogy I need.

[@hxnniboi]

star wars original trilogy 👌

[@SilkfireStudios]

Strange Birds oh definitely!

I love Simon Pegg. I want to be his friend.

[@dekuscrub6014]

Yeah he is the type of person you could be friends with and he'd be chill

[@4231jerome]

Then, you are.

[@aplicqu8761]

He seems like the driest, but also sweetly funniest of guys... I loved his evocation of Commander Scott. And all his comedies.

[@braydenjohn07]

I’m 15 and grew up with these films not knowing until recently that they are years old, I wasn’t even born when Shawn of the dead (one of my favourites) was made. Simon peg is one of my favourite and best actors who is so under appreciated.

[@Micah__]

It’s a tough call between Shaun and Hot Fuzz. But if someone was to twist my arm I’d say Hot Fuzz, I really liked the story but as far as rewatchability I feel Shaun is an easier watch. Both are in my favorite comedies.

[@katr_i_na]

I've always found Hot Fuzz an easier rewatch. For some reason, each time I watch it I notice more and more things I didn't notice in my last rewatches. All of the Cornetto trilogy is godly, though.

[@prplfleur]

I used to have that same dilemma, but then i rewatched the worlds end about a year ago and i have to say that one is actually easily my favourite of the trilogy

His passion for what he does shows through and through here. What an amazing man. I can hear him speak all day, every day.

Simon Pegg is a guy I'd love to meet and shake his hand. His roles have brought me so much joy and entertainment over the years.

[@nightcrauler1]

One of my favorite ever experiences was watching Shaun of the dead for the first time! I opened the tv back in the day and it was on. I knew nothing about it... It was early at the start of the movie in the scene where Simons roommate was complaining to him and Frost about what losers they are etc. I thought at the time this MUST be a drama film.... But still caught my interest. After the first zombie sighting scene my mind was blown for EVER... :D

Spaced will always be my favourite thing they ever did. SOTD & Hot Fuzz come 2nd & The Worlds End is 3rd But man, Spaced was just genius, can't even hazard a guess on how many times I watched it growing up, got me into a lot of good music too, like Boards Of Canada & LemonJelly. 10/10 is an understatement for that show.

I love spaced. I was 14/15 when it first came out and remember it being so very different.

[@seanp8220]

He cannot act. Every one of his characters is a variation of his whiney self.

Nicholas Angel is the only Pegg role where I don't see Pegg, I see the character.
