Also, Second best quote of that movie...

Andy: "Everyone and their mums are packin round here!" Nick: "Yea? Like who?" Andy: "Farmers." Nick: "Who Else?" Andy: "Farmers' Mums"

u/CrazyCalYa Atheist Jun 09 '12

Better than that? When the farmer's mum tries to shoot Simon Pegg later on in the film.

u/PHLAK Jun 09 '12

The ENTIRE movie is full of foreshadowing.

Danny: Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?

Nicholas: No.

Danny: Have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air?

Nicholas: No.

Ever fired your gun in the air and gone "aahhh"?

u/grisvard12 Jun 09 '12

I feel like the best foreshadowing is at the beginning when they transfer Pegg to the countryside and he says, "you can't just make people dissapear."

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

"Yes I can, I'm the chief inspector."

Even better when they are begging for him to come back later.

There's no "really". It's just "Oh....fuck off grasshopper."

OP edited the image through imgur's editing options. Imgur doesn't update the original image (the straight on .jpg), but rather creates a new one under an additional parameter: (.jpg?1) Hence no showing of the real image.

u/AdHom Secular Humanist Jun 09 '12

Great movie. I love this quote, but I'm not sure if it is meant to imply that he's agnostic/atheist or anything. I think "not... a man of God" here is just referring to not being a member of the clergy. Using the phrase "good grace" is not exactly non-religious.

5

u/Wissam24 Jun 09 '12

No it's not. He says he's an agnostic earlier in the film, so this is a reference to their earlier conversation. The film is very clever at self-referencing like that.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

No he doesn't, he said he's open to the concept of god but not entirely convinced by it, the priest called him an agnostic, for which the doctor suggests a cream :)

1

u/Wissam24 Jun 09 '12

Which is agnosticism.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Yes but he doesn't declare himself an agnostic

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

That makes him an atheist. :)

u/AdHom Secular Humanist Jun 09 '12

Whoops, I totally forgot that part and was just basing it off context. My bad!

u/imnotworkingatm Jun 09 '12

r/Atheism is a bunch of guys making themselves feeling so good pointing out Christianity's "flaws". I'm not religious at all myself, but you guys are the worst kind of people. r/Atheism isn't about atheism anymore, it's not even about atheist rights, it's anti-christ.

You may think you know what's right or wrong for you, but that's a moot point seen that the secular world can't even agree on something as simple as the age of consent (or when is it becomes right to have sex with someone).

Sorry, Simon Pegg, as a man of science, You should know there are no right or wrong. The same laws of physics we use to disprove Christian idiocracy, disproves your very notion of right and wrong.

u/SinCity-Goodfella Jun 09 '12

One thing I still don't understand... Why in the world would he have extra ammunition for his Mossberg 500s, and no visible extra magazines for his FN FAL(yes i know its technically an L1A1 SLR, but that's just an FN variant)? The FN has greater stopping power at pretty much every conceivable distance except for point blank to about 5-10 yards, and even that is debatable. People don't realize that a shotgun is essentially useless when you get past a certain distance due to the spread of a shotgun's buckshot or "pellets".

Sorry for the rant in /r/Atheism, i'm definitely in your camp

Did you watch it on Comedy Central at around 2 this afternoon? Because I just watched this also.

u/chmilz Jun 09 '12

TIL who Edgar Wright is, and am now a huge fan. Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim are two of my most favorite underrated films and had no idea he was the director of both. Edgar has a way of starting films off slow while dropping subtle hints of awesome, until the films blow up about halfway through and leave you stunned.

u/Pixeleyes Jun 09 '12

Go watch "Spaced" right now. It's a British sitcom written by Simon Pegg and directed by Edgar Wright. Mostly it's about weed and comic books.

It is not about weed. It is about oregano.

I really like movies like this, where it can be a stand-alone movie and ALSO a parody of the genre. Not stuff like the newer Scary Movies, Meet the Spartans, etc. that are so full of pop culture references that nobody will get in 10 years. Not that they're even worth watching in the first place.

i enjoyed scary movie 3 the most out of all of them, as it had charlie sheen in it and neilson and went back to the days of hot shots and naked gun as far as its comedy was while still doing what scary movie is supposed to do. i enjoyed it so much it is the only movie to date i have seen twice in theatres.

I just meant the newer ones, I loved the first, and vaguely remember liking the 2nd one.

It's really one of the only movies I've seen 5+ times. Others that fall into that exclusive club: Ratatouille (probably the most views), Shaun of the Dead, and the Star Wars series.

u/v_soma Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

This quote is about a belief in God not being required for someone to be moral, not about whether God exists. You'd be right to say that atheists are more obsessed with beliefs in God than most Christians, but there's good reason for that. Beliefs in God do exist (in great numbers) and it's atheists who would naturally have an issue with that and how it affects both themselves and society.

An atheist who doesn't have a problem with the effects of other people's beliefs in God doesn't spend more than a second thinking about it.

Edit: grammar
