been a couple of weeks already, but I should mention that elf_chan and I watched The World's End and liked it. I go back to thinking about it every so often. Impressions about it are often right.
Yes, the fight scenes are Jacky Chan-esque, since they got an Aussie guy from JC's stunt team to do the fight choreography. I really wonder how some of those shots were made. The effects were low-key.
But they didn't seem cheap. The pub names were meant to sound like Tarot cards, and they are signifiers. All the Cornetto trilogy films have awkwardness in the first act, which usually gives way to...
... the driving force of the plot. Not sure what the surnames were supposed to imply. Glad to have caught the significance of the final fight scene as it was going. As advertised, lots of cameos...
... from the previous films. Must have it on DVD to pick at the details. Strange Rosamund Pike - Pierce Brosnan reunion. Strange 80s-90s comedy nod in the first act, as well. I like it, and it still..
... weirds me out, in the sense of not having gotten all the layers yet. Glad to have watched it on the big screen, though I suspect the rewatchings will not lose much.
I'd like to see it if it shows up here. Dunno if there's a chance of that though
That sucks.
