From 2013, an inkwash of the British sitcom "Spaced" starring Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson “We went to see an interesting piece of contemporary theatre, drank an enormous amount of free wine, ate our body-weight in Twiglets and you punched an artist in the face.” -Daisy Steiner, Season 1 Episode 3: Art #inktober #inkwash #spaced #edgarwright #simonpegg #jessicastevenson #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CUr0agarYzG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thoughts : Shaun of the Dead (2004)

These days, everyone knows that Edgar Wright is a master behind the camera and in the editing room.  His sense of humor, his ability to curate amazing soundtracks, and his pop culture knowledge put him in the same conversation as the likes of Quentin Tarantino and P.T. Anderson.  He wasn’t always a household name though... the film that started his trend upwards, however, was most definitely Shaun of the Dead. 

An homage to the George Romero realm of zombie films, Shaun of the Dead is simultaneously a reflection on modern day life, love and responsibilities.  Our titular character is dealing with a series of strained relationships : his girlfriend is leaving him, his relationship with his parents is rocky, and his best friend is causing tension with his roommate.  Then, to add a cherry on top of everything, a zombie outbreak occurs.

When I first saw this film, I was not familiar with Wright’s previous television work on Look Around You and Spaced (the original project connected him with longtime collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost).  Therefore, I was not used to Wright’s presentation of visual humor and his rhythmic editing style.  I knew that something about Shaun of the Dead was drawing me in, but I couldn’t put a finger on it.  It was not until the brilliant Scott Pilgrim vs. The World that I truly understood what he was doing, which has since enriched the subsequent viewings of this movie due to familiarity with is directing language.

Pegg and Frost managed to bring their wonderful chemistry from Spaced into this project without missing a beat, providing many much-needed laughs to provide a proper foundation.  Kate Ashfield is absolutely charming, and her film roommates Lucy Davis and Dylan Moran provide pitch perfect commentary on the goings-on of the movie world.  A number of entertaining guest appearances stand out, including Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy as Shaun’s mother and stepfather, Spaced-alumni Jessica Stevenson and Julia Deakin showing up with another group of survivors (one that contains Martin Freeman as well), and Peter Serafinowicz essentially playing an evolved role of his iconic Spaced character. 

When it comes right down to it, this is one of the most enjoyable films you will ever encounter, despite the fact that it contains a small handful of gut-wrenching moments.  The humor never seems misplaced, the kinetic presentation style alone will keep you enthralled, and the constant barrage of odes and homage only further how enjoyable the experience is.  The film, on top of everything else, also managed to kick off the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, a grouping of the three films that Wright, Pegg and Frost collaborated on.  If all directors debuted in this fashion, the world of film would be the most remarkable place.

I Love Daisy’s shirt in this episode, and I waited so long to find out if it was a button down, if it had long or short sleeves, what does the bloody whole shirt look like??? Finally, Daisy has to knock down a door!  Yay! Awesome shirt, Daisy! And way to visually express yourselves Daisy and Tim, Jessica and Simon!
