Here Come the Fuzz

I went to a HOT FUZZ screening Friday night. Pegg, Frost, and Wright doing a Q and A afterwards. Nothing too special, this is the third time I've heard the guys speak. But when the Movie Theatre guy gets up at the end of the movie he doesn't introduce them, he introduces...

Eli Roth...

Okay so it's Eli Roth. I don't much care for his films and when I saw him I had the same reaction I had when I saw him introduce GRINDHOUSE. "This guy is a leech. Living off the cool blood of the more talented film makers he surrounds himself with." Fine he'll introduce the FUZZ guys and go away. But instead he introduces...

Jack Black...

So what the hell? Jack Black? That's just so out of the blue. But he's there and he does his Jack Black shtick, telling us how mind blowing the film was and how we need to get prepared to have our minds blown even farther by....

Quentin Tarintino... 

 
So now Tarintino is on stage. Admittedly a bit more expected then Jack Black. Pegg and Wright are frequent members of his posse... but still the realization of what's going on is amazing. These three guys were just all in the theatre together and worked up some shtick! I got to see Tarintino, Jack Black and Eli Roth collaborate on a "too many introductions" bit. Holy s**t! It was just one of those amazing moments you pretty much only get in LA. And even if you do live in LA you can never expect it. You just hope to experience one of them so you can gloat about it to your friends at work on Monday.

And then the Q and A was by far the most fun Q and A I've ever experienced. Tarintino finally introduced the HOT FUZZ guys and they just proceeded to tear into the audience. They would just flat out cut you off if they didn't like your question.

"What advice to you have for an actor whose..."

"NEXT QUESTION".

One guy asked "what were their comedic influences and they just proceeded to ramble off this really long, boring list and then be like "that's what you asked for right... a long boring list?"

Plus if you asked a question Tarintino gave you a BAD BOYS 2 DVD but he was really picky about who he gave them too so the Q and A went on forever. The audience started turning on Tarintino when he just flat out refused to give DVD's and it really felt like people were going to riot.

It was all cool cause I stopped by Amoeba on the way home, actually ran into Tarintino and he was very nice. He said "hello" to me. That's it, but still...
