The World’s End Trailer Hints at the Feel-Drunk Movie of the Year


You plan on having 12 pints of beer, one each at a different pub in the same night. You find out the town is full of, essentially, alien body-snatchers. And you don’t let it affect your drinking plans at all – even if it does make the pub crawl just a bit more challenging. Though it is handy to have Martin Freeman around, as he knows a thing or two about being in a pub with an alien when the world ends.

That’s my kind of people. Actually, they make me feel like a tee-totaller. Twelve pints of English beer (a.k.a. “bitter,” hence the “bitter end” joke many Americans may not get) would be a serious challenge, especially in alien combat. Though I’d feel no pain when they bust out the anal probe, no doubt.

I thought Edgar Wright took a great step forward with Scott Pilgrim, and this is the first Simon Pegg movie that I’m actually quite enthused about after seeing the trailer. Maybe it’s because I too miss doing pub crawls.

It’s coming August 23rd.
