giving credit to people who made it all possible rather than hoarding validation. Kudos.

Okay it has nothing to do with his awesome movies, but… he has such a cute gap between his front teeth! it's so adorable…
i really like when people don't try to fix it or hide their smile because of it, its a very charming feature

It's cute to see Mr Wright explaining what is going on in the movies as if I didn't watch all of his filmography multiple times because I find him to be a genius.

Hot Fuzz Magnum opus.

Mate, Last night in Soho was a terrible movie. You are what I consider a rubbish director. The bar has been set pretty low to become a film director these days.

If you could see Edgar Wright make a parody/homage of a kind of film, what would you wanna see? I'd love to see either a robot film (not World's End. They're not robots) or a kaiju flick

That switch on Simon to the acrobat, and then having Nick look back for his stunt gives a moment of pause on when/if/where Simon had switched, been hooked up to cables, etc. too, which as a viewer, is a really neat tidbit for immersion/suspension of disbelief on Simon's. Makes it feel more continuous.

This is the perfect place for me to post a comment about this:
The first scene in Baby Driver is so unbelievably awesome that occasionally, even if I don't have enough time to watch the whole movie, I put it on and only watch that first scene.
I also show that scene to basically everyone I know. Amazing!

One of the greatest directors who ever lived. Hot Fuzz in my opinion is the perfect film.

I could watch Edgar Wright talk about his films for days on end. He is truly remarkable.

Whats mental is that Edgar Wright made a film taking place in London during the 60s and there was NO Beatles references at all. Mental
