It was my wish to have seen it by now, but haven't been able to. I might risk evil looks and cough my way through it this evening.
I'll let you know if I do.

Got around to seeing Shaun Of The Dead over the weekend. Loved it. If you're a fan of Spaced then you can't go wrong.
It is fairly British in places, but generic enough to pull non UKers through it.
One small problem was the pacing of the humour dropped once they reached the pub, but the pacing of the horror increased, so horses for courses. Perhaps it was a little overlong, but maybe that was because I was busting to go to the loo.
Unfortunately it didn't light the UK Box office up, but with some luck and good word of mouth it will do well around the rest of the world.
Check it out, if your tastes are like mine (and you're here reading this so they can't be too far off), then you'll love it.
