Speaking of Simon Pegg

Speaking of Simon Pegg

Aug 22

While we wait for Simon to help reignite the Star Trek franchise, he continues to bid his time in tiny romantic comedies – a Simon Pegg comedy tends to appeal to both halves of the gender demographic, which gives it a unique strength.

Run Fatboy Run was not only a solid bit of Peggian hilarity, it was a genuinely sweet romance story as well. And hey, anything that continues to help introduce Dylan Moran to the world, can’t be a bad thing.

And now comes Simon’s follow-up lead in the Toby Young bio-pic, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. I hated the poster, but if you add Jeff Bridges to the equation, I’m forced to reconsider. Add Gillian Anderson (yes, she’s in there – watch closely), and I’m sold. SOLD!
