10 Things You Might Not Know About... Shaun of the Dead.
Get ready to feel old movie fans! This week weâre celebrating the whopping 10 year anniversary of Simon Peggâs masterpiece, Shaun of the Dead!
We canât believe it either, the first film of the âBlood and Ice Cream trilogyâ was originally released a whole decade ago, so to celebrate, hereâs ten things you might not know about this fabulously funny, all-brit, homage-filled classic. Enjoy!
.
1. Repetition is key. Throughout the film, a number of phrases are repeated or mirrored, including âSorry Shaun, no... Iâm sorry Shaun.â and âTop left, reload, Iâm on it! Nice shot!â which is something Alfred Hitchcock used to do in order to build suspense or give the audience suspicions about a character, Edgar Wright uses a number of horror movie conventions for comedy purposes. The most obvious of which comes in the form of quick cuts of short actions which usually implies a hasty retreat or preparation for war but in Shaun, they just make a cup of tea or go to the car. Genius.
2. Itâs one of many techniques that was honed by Wright when making Spaced way back in 1999 and the movie was inspired by an episode of the series in which Tim (Peggâs character) stays up all night and begins hallucinating, seeing zombies from the 1996 Playstation game, Resident Evil.
34th London Marathon Today! Our Top Runner Costumes
Can you believe it's that time again?!
Yep this weekend sees another whopping 40,000 brave runners line up and set of on the epic 26.2 miles course around the heart of London as they raise huuuuge amounts of money for some simply amazing causes.
The race begins in Greenwich, and will see the dedicated runners get a first-class tour of London's biggest and best-loved tourist attractions including the Cutty Sark ship, Tower Bridge, Cleopatra's Needle, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament. The runners then take their last few steps down The iconic Mall before completing the race in front of Buckingham Palace. Cool huh!
Raising money for countless amount of amazing causes, this spectacular event (that gets us out of breath just thinking about it) is a real highlight of the calendar and partly for one reason....for us a least.... the costumes!
Yep you name it and we're sure someone has dressed up as it and run the full length of the course! Deep sea divers, Cavemen, donkeys, superheroes...the lot! And all in the name of raising money to help those in need.
One of the best parts of getting to watch such an amazing event for us is picking out some of these fab costumes and ultimately thinking....'how can you possible run 26 miles in that?!'
To highlight some of our own costume heroes, we've picked out some of our personal favourte runners from the past few years. Take a peep and see if you can spot any like these this year....
