UPDATE: UK Event | 28 Jan 2012 | ‘Shaun of the Dead’ & ‘Life Is Sweet’ Double Bill with Edgar Wright
UPDATE: Wednesday 25th January, 2012. I'm afraid there's some good news, bad news for attendees of the London Comedy Festival this weekend. I am currently in LA writing my next movie with Simon Pegg and we are both working furiously around his duties on the Starship Enterprise. So sadly I can no longer attend the event in person on London as originally planned. So I guess the good news is that writing is going very well, the bad news is that I was really hoping to be back in London and see you all. Instead I plan to make it up to ...

The Wright Stuff III: That’s All Folks…
And lo, the 'Movies Edgar Has Never Seen' became the films I have seen. In the last 8 days at the New Beverly Cinema, I saw 17 movies for the first time on the big screen with a great crowd. It was bliss and thanks to all who attended. Anyone who attended can tell you what a blast it was to see these movies with an audience. It's my perfect way to spend my time, in a darkened theatre with fellow movie fans. And to fill in my cultural gaps in front of a paying audience was a hugely fulfilling experience. ...
The Wright Stuff III / The New Romantics / Monday Dec. 12th, 2011

The Wright Stuff III / Movies Edgar Has Never Seen – The Skinny
So, in short, I've done two seasons at LA's New Beverly Cinema showing favourite movies of mine. For my third season (and last for a while) I had the sudden lightbulb of inspiration that I should show all the classics and cult gems that I haven't seen. 8 nights, 18 films, 35mm prints, vintage trailers, $8 for a double bill. Amazing guest hosts include Peter Bogdanovich, John Landis, Joe Dante, Allan Arkush, Greg Mottola, Eli Roth, Richard Kelly, James Gunn, Patton Oswalt, Leonard Maltin, Doug Benson, Rian Johnson, Elvis Mitchell, Josh Olson, Bob Wiede, Larry Karaszewski, Joe Carnahan and That ...

The Wright Stuff III / Movies Edgar Has Never Seen
As I’ve said many times on this blog, it’s never too late to see a movie. (Artwork from Russell Walks - www.russellwalks.com / www.russellwalks.tumblr.com) I hope in my time I have never chastised anyone for not seeing a movie. Neither am I a big fan of the phrase "I can’t believe you haven’t seen…" accompanied by an exaggerated expression of surprise. (Case in point: When I bought the first season boxset of ‘Breaking Bad’ at Amoeba, the cashier said with a smirk “You haven’t seen this yet?”) I basically believe that you can’t be late to a party if the party never stops. Back ...
Update: New Beverly Cinema | The Wright Stuff III: ‘Movies Edgar Has Never Seen’
A quick post to say my season of 'Movies Edgar Has Never Seen' is being finalised as we speak. Between the dates of Dec 9th and Dec 16th, I will be screening 7 double features, one triple feature and one midnight movie. I can't thank the New Beverly Cinema enough for letting me do this. These are movies I've waited to see for the first time on a big screen and with an audience. (That's you). Just waiting on two missing slots to complete the line up. There are going to be some great guests too. It's been quite the education ...

Far too many ponies to explain in one text… Uploaded by BronyComms on Jan 10, 2012 Hurray, another one of those movie trailers with ponies in it.

Edgar Wright Syndrome
Spare a thought for this young man afflicted with “Edgar Wright syndrome”. It must be awful for him.
