Dear Hot Fuzz

Dear Hot Fuzz,

Holy crap. Holy crap, holy crap!!!! Hot Fuzz, my heart is pounding as I write this because I am just so damn excited about you. I want to say so many things all at once that I can't even think of what to write or how to start . . . I guess I'll just start like this:

You may be the funniest movie I've ever seen. If not, you're damn near the top, and - either way - you are as close to perfect as a movie can be (for a guy, at least). This is the thing - not only did I laugh my ass off every minute of the film, but you also played the buddy-cop movie ploys to absolute perfection. I mean - shit. You rolled everything I could ever ask for in a movie-going experience into one beautiful package.

I want to write so much more, but I don't want to spoil the film for my loyal reader (who I really hope goes to see you). Not that it would really matter, I suppose - because I would go back to watch you RIGHT THIS SECOND and laugh my ass all over again. I swear it.

You were ridiculously funny without being stupid. You did all the little things. Every scene had thirty hilarious little jokes leading up to the grand punchline. Everything linked back to everything else. Everything was a set-up for a later joke, but it was all funny alone, as well. My face absolutely HURTS because I was laughing so hard. I thought Shaun of the Dead was a funny movie, but I never knew what funny could be until I saw you, Hot Fuzz.

I want to just rattle off a litany of hilarious scences and jokes as they pop into my head - I've been laughing out loud to myself as I think of stuff. I don't know what to say. I don't know if there IS anything else to say. You were the perfect movie experience, and I am ever-so-thankful for it.

As the weather returns to overcast and rainy and depressing (after one single beautiful day yesterday), there could be nothing I needed more than to spend two straight hours laughing harder than I have laughed in a LONG time. Every minute of watching you was funnier and more hilariously enjoyable than any single instant of my last month. And although you may take that to just demonstrate how pathetic and sad my life really is, I mean that as an homage to your wonderfulness. Because I have had some funny and enjoyable times in the last month. Seriously.

Wow. My heart rate has settled down a little bit, and my face is starting to stiffen, but I will never forget you, Hot Fuzz. I will carry you always in my heart and soul. And then lose my shit when I think of something from you.

And to my Loyal Reader - go see this film. As soon as you can. Because every minute you spend having not seen this film is another minute in which your life is not as good as it could be.

Still Giggling,
CVT
