Toronto Nerd Alert! THE WRIGHT STUFF is back ... for one special night.




For six Sundays this spring, the Bloor Cinema was taken over by director Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shawn of the Dead) for "The Wright Stuff", a weekly double feature of some of his favourite flicks (with some great flicks I've never seen on the big screen before, including Buzby Berkeley's "Dames", "Ricky-O: Story of Ricky" and Walter Hill's "The Warriors"). Wright is in town shooting "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" with cinematographer Bill Pope, who was the DP on a little indie film you mighta heard of called "The Matrix" (AND "The Matrix Reloaded" AND "The Matrix Revolutions" AND "Spiderman 2" AND "Spiderman 3", oh yeah and also the pilot episode of "Freaks and Geeks", one of the greatest TV shows EVER).

On the last Wright night (his Canadian double bill "The Brood" and "Last Night"), Wright mentioned that he might have one more Wright Stuff screening before the end of the summer, a suuuuuper sweet one. Well, it looks like it's gonna happen: The Bloor has released its July schedule and on Sunday July 26th, they're doing the drool-worthy Bill Pope double bill of, deep breath, "Army of Darkness" and "Team America: World Police"!! Insert fist-pumping and air humping here. I hope Wright and Pope will both be there (please please please!!!!!) but even if they're not, that is one wicked double bill which should definitely be seen with a hootin'-and-hollerin' audience. I still have my "Wright Stuff" pass, can I still use it?? Stay tuned!
