Absolutely Anything
The British version of Bruce Almighty with proper British inspirations: 1984 and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Also, Americans are savaged, as they should.
Simon Pegg’s persona (a slob bachelor high school teacher this time) is perpetually on the brink of writing the book that will propel him to stardom and a date with his hot neighbour.
After ersatz Vogons find the Voyager probe and want to demolish Earth for philosophical upper class twit reasons (not making way for a space highway), they follow procedure and test if humans are good enough not to be obliterated: choose a random human, give him God powers, and judge them based on morality.
The randomiser nearly chooses Justin Bieber or Sarah Palin, but it ultimately falls on Shaun to rescue humanity. Like Bruce before him, he squanders it on frivolities, doesn’t even make his neighbour really love him, and when he tries to help the world, it backfires. He can’t even kill himself, since the dog that talks with Robin Williams’ voice saves him.
They can only be saved by the proles: the Spaced guy transfers the powers to the dog, which kills the overlord aliens. The neighbour puts out once the hero proves he is not a control freak.
There’s also a side plot with the hero’s teacher colleague being worshipped as a god, and at least two other dudes trying to bang Kate Beckinsale inappropriately: her boss, and some American spook that stalks and applies a lot of LOVEINT.
This is technically a Monty Python reunion, but directed by Terry Jones, don’t expect Brazil, more A Fish Called Wanda. This is quite silly.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
