So, here we go with the first of a number of cool events in the US to coincide with the imminent SPACED DVD in July.

There will a special moderator still to be announced and you know what I haven't yet picked one of the two episodes I'm going to show, so suggestions are welcome.

Either way, all of you who are in LA or a hop, skip and a jump away should come down - will be a lot of fun...

Come on down!

"Spaced: Invasion USA"

Talks, Chats, and Conversations

(120 mins)

LOS ANGELES FILM FESTIVAL SITE - BOOK TICKETS HERE

Before he was infesting London with blood-crazed zombies in Shaun of the Dead, before he was shooting up sleepy English villages in Hot Fuzz, director Edgar Wright brought UK audiences Spaced, written by its stars Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes. In only 14 episodes, the show became one of British television's most enduring cult hits, winning fans internationally including JJ Abrams, Judd Apatow, Kevin Smith, and Quentin Tarantino. Now Spaced is finally (finally) coming to DVD in the U.S. on July 22. Join us to celebrate the launch with a screening of two complete Spaced episodes, some great clips, and a conversation with director Edgar Wright.



Screening Schedule
Tuesday, June 24th 10:00pm

Bring 'em all.

And episode suggestions welcome.

I'm leaning toward 2.5 - GONE from the second series...

But which episode from the first?

Edgar, I WISH I could be there! *wishes*

I hope it's a resounding success (could it be anything else?). I expect pics & long-winded descriptions of the event from those of you who are able to be there. Living vicariously is better than nothing. :o)

Feel the (SPACED) love.

I can't believe we both said the same thing about $12 being a bargain.

Class. Wish i was out in LA for this.

Ok Ed im already late for work so might aswell carry on, i think you should play S2 E5 Gone, that was class on the big screen at the BFI.

Other suggestions.... S1 E3 if not just for the SOTD intro or S1 E5 thats just one of my faves.

Have a cool day to all who go, You lucky people :)

Oh I would love to be there but to far for me.

You should have another showing some where in the central part of the states, like Minnesota for example.

Oh well I can dream. :D

Wow, that's going to end at midnight... Between the late time slot and the hour drive home, I'm so losing sleep and being a zombie at work the next day...

Oddly appropriate. :3

Why only 2 episodes? Each is so short! Perhaps you could bring the rest over to the New Bev for an after party !

It simply has to be 'Battles', without a shadow of a doubt. It's the very definition of Fried Gold.

How About "ART" or "BATTLES" From series 1 And "CHANGE" or "GONE" From series 2

Any Hoo Good Luck in America..... Who Else Is Going

My personal favourite from series one is Art, but that has zombies and you might not want to become the "zombie guy".

So I have to say that Battles would be the best - I think than an American audience (the ones who aren't already Spaced fans) would respond well to the spoofing of Hollywood action cliches when Mike dies. Do they have paintballing over there?

Yeay...it has started.
I'm sorry to say that I can't make this particular event, but I will come to Cali for at least one in July.
I can't wait to see what else is coming up!!

I'm so excited.

xD

As for a suggestion. I would say 1.3
One of my favorites.

Want to buy some pegs Dave?

 
Very sad I don't live in L.A. to come and see this. But I can at least help with the votes.

1. Art - Because who doesn't love "Huge Fat Cocks"? It also shows the genesis of Shaun, which is brilliant. It also has my favorite line of the series. "Oh Brian, you came." "No I've just spilt my drink...".

2. Gone - That entire episode had me laughing so hard I had trouble breathing. Between Brian's "That's never happened to me before." to Mike's "Been naughty.", it has awesome lines. Plus the gun battle. I mean come on!

Gatherings... yea 1.2 is a good starter. 'Ends, 1.7' is my second choice... 1.6 is great but it just feel too short. Perhaps you could add the osymyso mix between the two. Anyhow, I can't be there so have fun u lucky people!

aww, wish I could go, but at least I have all your stuff on DVD =) (at least I think I do)
But you have to show episode 1.3 Art, that is one of the greatest episodes (which is hard to say, cos their all great)

is it 1.4 "its not a bedsit, it's a flat"
pretty good stand alone with remnants of season incidents. hey i was just scanning through 1.4, is the dude who gets shot (ie. first time old man) one of the chubs in little britain.
but there needs to be some sort of a montage of mike (he was my marcia brady)

I say come do a signing at Scarecrow Video in Seattle and perhaps my friends and I can get the photo op we were unexpectedly (and coarsely) denied by a publicist when you were here with Bullitt/Fuzz.

I am appalled that Scarecrow was denied a photo!

Me and Simon even went there on our first SHAUN tour.

I have your film guide book too.

Haha, I don't work at Scarecrow. I didn't realize it would read like that. They are just obviously, as you know, cool, and in the area.

I was denied a photo at Fuzztival after they let too many people take too long and the publicist, just as we got there, was like NO MORE PHOTOS. I got my DVD signed, but for my other friend, the photo op was what he wanted and he was pretty frustrated.

If you do come to Scarecrow we'll totally be there.
