I went to see "Hot Fuzz" at the cinema today. It was very entertaining, although I'm not sure I'd rate it quite as highly as Pegg/Frost/Wright's previous works "Spaced" and "Shaun of the Dead". It is genuinely funny, but I do feel there were as many good comedy lines in some of the best single episodes of Spaced as there were in the entire 2-hour film. Similarly, I felt the characters were more interesting in Spaced and Shaun which would still have been good even if they hadn't been so funny because the characters were still very likeable. Again, I'm not saying it isn't a good comedy, because it is, but it isn't as good as it maybe could have been.
On a completely different subject, has anyone here seen the film "An Inconvenient Truth"? I ask because I haven't seen it and because Al Gore is going to be doing the same lecture/presentation thing he does in the film here in Cambridge later this month. I have to say Gore using Powerpoint to talk about climate change doesn't superficially sound particularly interesting, but the film has had surprisingly good reviews - do you think it's worth going to see?
