Jog on!
I thoroughly enjoyed 'Hot Fuzz' last night, despite a couple of warnings that the last third of the film descends into one long gun fight (which is true). It was great to see the Shaun Of The Dead team back together for some more feature-length silliness, and the roster of major stars who want a piece of the action, even if it's just the tiniest of cameos, seems to grow and grow. It's very obvious that they all loved making this film.
After the film, panic ensued as several dozen people tried to leave the multi storey car park next to the cinema. And couldn't. All of the pay stations were broken, and so the barriers across the exit were behaving like my attempt at souffles - refusing to rise under any circumstances. Initially, no NCP staff member could be found, and the suggestion that somebody ram one of the barriers with their car was not met with an enthusiastic response. Just as we were mobilising ourselves to try and escape through the entrance without paying, some moron from NCP Central finally answered the intercom. It took this person a full five minutes to grasp that there was an angry mob trapped in the car park, but eventually (and after several cries of 'I'm sorry, but what do you want?), the barrier went up. Another few minutes and there may have been some actual vandalism.
So, Prince Harry-Hewitt is off to Iraq. Good! Bye then.
