I thought he just did Shaun of The Dead as his horror comedy. BTW his show Spaced is great definately worth checking out Edgar Wright, Nick Frost, and Simon Pegg can't do wrong!

I'm an idiot? You are the one who has a picture of Kermit the frog. Do you know the definition of roots? Well let me explain it to you. The definition means "The state of having or establishing an indigenous relationship with or a personal affinity for a particular culture, society, or environment" If it wasn't for Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz He wouldn't of become so popular with the United states like he has. So that is what I mean by "roots." Maybe you should think before you speak, you dick!
