Edgar Wright wins comeback of the day
In the latest in our occasional series, comeback of the day, the fabulous director Edgar Wright had the best response to this review of Shaun of the Dead.
Cue Wright.
In my defence, I tried to reduce the amount of Brits by having most of them eaten in the movie. pic.twitter.com/Zia2ZL0VJp

Killer.
When I worked in a video store, my boss told me someone had complained that they didn’t expect “quite so MANY zombies,” which makes me wonder how many zombies would have been acceptable.

so glad you took this constructive criticism well and did not include any brits in Baby Driver. A very bold move.

And while we’re here, a few of our other favourite Edgar Wright tweets.
Years ago, I was at the National Portrait Gallery with my gf at the time. We passed a painting of Alan Rickman that she didn't see. To draw her attention, I whispered dramatically 'It's Snape!' in her ear. It was then I realised she'd walked off & I was talking to a random woman.

A better end to the story would be if the random woman were @jk_rowling.

Mannequin. My date and I went to a quiet matinee for the sole purpose of snogging furiously. Then the only other people in the cinema were 3 guys from my year. I was so mortified that I did not make a move on my date & she then dumped me (by letter) the next week. Fuck Mannequin. https://t.co/xErlUFZP3d

This meme turns up with alarming frequency. It's worth pointing out that on one hand, Shaun's Winchester idea ends with most of his party dying, but on the other hand he tried, he did something. So, that counts. pic.twitter.com/oY5Y3ewUy1

He’s got a new film out in the autumn. Can’t wait.
'When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go…'Watch the first trailer for my new film: #LastNightInSoho. Can’t wait for you to see it in cinemas this October. pic.twitter.com/hA2wR2Ukl0
