Because even these guys love their nerdy movie props.

Happy Friday, party people! And regular people, too, I suppose. šŸ˜‰ Confession time: today’s post is not an idea I came up with myself.

Bromance

Happy Friday, you lovely people! Most of the movies out right now kinda suck, and there’s still next to nothing on TV, so let’s spend today talking about a special kind of relationship that I quite enjoy witnessing: the bromance.

It’s the third film bringing together Edgar Wright (director/writer), Simon Pegg (writer/co-star), and Nick Frost (co-star). The first two films, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz Continue reading
