    Re Hot Fuzz - I'm wondering... British comedy like Monty Python? Benny Hill? was it funny-clever or more slapstick humour? We'll be in STL weekend of May 19-20.

    More like Monty Python than Benny Hill I think (there are even a couple of Python references--at least I took them that way), but I haven't seen hardly any Benny Hill. It's slapsticky and somewhat absurdist, with a good chunk of over-the-top violence in the vein of Simon Pegg's earlier film Shaun of the Dead. And self-referential humor like Pegg's TV series Spaced, but that hasn't been shown here in the States to my knowledge, so you may not be familiar with it.
