    Honestly, I don’t even remember it being that funny. I haven’t gave it a second thought since its release. The power of social media marketing, I guess.

    If you’ve never seen Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, I’d encourage you instead to take a look at Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz, both really good movies.

      My problem was I watched it expecting Cornetto trilogy and got stoner comedy so didn’t enjoy it as much. Going in expecting stoner comedy (when in the mood for it) a few years later increases the enjoyment factor.

        Paul versus Baby Driver really illustrates what Nick Frost and Simon Pegg’s chemistry bring to a movie versus what Edgar Wright’s directing brings to a movie.

        And even in combination, the trio only nailed it two out of three times. The World’s End is just… okay.

    Its a great movie! Get onboard, do the lemming thing and follow.

    (Sometimes a label is a distraction. expand your mind.)

    Something like this happened to me once before. I sent a pm to the tracker staff to ask about it; they responded that a leecher had a borked client causing it to repeatedly download the torrent again. I suspect something like that is what is happening here.

      that’s the one

      people are UFO hungry all the sudden (it’s been building since 2017 but now even TMZ is doing a docuseries on the phenomenon)

      stoners are super doober UFO hungry right now

      I’m a UFO stoner and I don’t actually know why it’s so popular. but for any other UFO stoners out there, the audiobook version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is voiced by Stephen Fry, and it’s phenomenal.

        Honestly I’ve never seen that movie but someone told me about it, stopped smoking pot since a year ago and tbh I’m doing pretty fine, I didn’t regret my stoner times but I believe I’m doing better right now, I loved to see movies while stoned and UFO and Alien stuff are pretty interesting WO being stoned so I believe stoned they should be better.

        Nowdays there is a lot of UFO activity out there, recently I saw a big and shiny one like at 4AM near my city.

    Nooope ignore me I misremembered the billboard I saw

    On January 11 (in Canada) a Paul prequel tv show will be released, perhaps all the interest isbeing generated by marketing for that shows release
