If you can afford it and are viable: lasik. Then you'll just need reading glasses.

This movie is absolute masterpiece. It will always deserve more credit than it gets.

I didn’t catch the opening scene summary until my third watch. It’s a brilliantly written movie.

I didn't catch it in The World's End until someone pointed it out too.

Player 2 has entered the game

Don't you have work?

Player 2 has left the game

A succinct description of adulthood IMO.

Ooh, that's cool. Now I'm hoping they do it for the rest of the "trilogy". Would really love to see Hot Fuzz in theaters.

MadBigote@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

Yup. Hot fuzz is my go-to movie for binge weekends.

Best zombie movie ever made.

I could be persuaded to see this in a theater. Then again, I have a projector at home and the film ripped from Blu-ray and it's not like it's particularly visually impressive. I could also be persuaded to stay home.

I saw this the first time round. There were like 4 people in the whole cinema.

At the time it was like Spaced - The Movie and Spaced was never a particularly mainstream show. No idea why, because it's fucking great.

AlDente@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

It's a good movie but I don't think it even comes close to Hot Fuzz, which is absolutely my favorite comedy so far.

I just listened to the Commentary track (main cast) on the Blu-ray the other day and it was excellent. Worth a rewatch for any fans.

you know movie theaters are dying when this sort of thing starts popping up two three times a week. the day they develop a cure for covid and long covid is the day movie theaters start making money again, and not a minute before in any real measure.

Thankfully I'm not an at risk person and I feel bad for those that are but no one in my friends group, coworkers, and acquaintances has mentioned concern or even acknowledged covid to me in at least a year.

downpunxx@fedia.io · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

it's amazing, after all this time, people still don't understand that without a cure for covid, and more importantly long covid, if you have lungs you're at risk, lol, it's incredible

skye@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

At risk means you have a higher chance than normal to be affected by a certain disease.

What the focus is when you say "at risk" is factors that will increase your chances of getting covid.

Since all of us living (hopefully) have lungs, there's a baseline level of risk and is pointless to point out. We only mention at risk when there's special factors other than "lungs" that increase our chance of getting a disease. By following this logic by simply being human you are at risk of diseases so the only way to not be at risk is to die
