What does Flavours Cornetto even mean?

Calling these films a trilogy is pushing the outer limits of the definition.
Pegg and Wright got free ice cream on the promo tour for Shaun of the Dead as a result of having Cornettos in the movie, so when making Hot Fuzz decided to throw a Cornetto in one scene in hopes of getting more free ice cream. they didn't. But they tossed in a shot of a Cornetto wrapper stuck to a fence in the 3rd movie just to tie it together.
The plots and characters in the movies have no connection, so its the loosest definition of a Trilogy one could ever come up with.

Should I retitle the poll question?

No, this is part of the poll tradition around here...ball busting. You have been initiated. You just have to do the bawling emoticon and cry uncle, and then it's official. You don't have to change the title, (as I have done several times).

This is as close as I can get to crying!  Bust away!

Poncier

Don't worry, I wasn't busting you,cdt, you aren't the one responsible for calling these movies a trilogy, I was just busting the general idea.
Star Wars episodes IV through VI are a trilogy with continuation of characters and story arc, these 3 movies are really just 3 films by same director and star, not an actual trilogy.
It's sort of like saying Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows are a trilogy cause they were all Burton/Depp collaborations. (And man did the latter 2 of those movies suck)

I know you weren't Poncier.  I was trying to be a smart ass earlier too, so hopefully you know I was joking earlier after throwing the Lebowski gif back at you.

Will you be bringing us Cornettos via room service?

Nutty Buddies seem more apropos, no? 



In any case, I'll wear a mask.

And possibly a blindfold.

Don't forget the gloves.

Shaun of the Dead

I haven't seen Hot Fuzz since it came out, but I remember really liking the first half and then being like, how long is this movie by the second half. The humor ran out. Shaun was great. I've never seen the other one.

Glorified KC

Hot Fuzz

I do get how long Hot Fuzz is, especially with the fight scene in the model of the town and then the mine blowing up the police station.  There probably could have been a way to take some of that out or another part of the movie to shorten it a bit.

The World’s End

I only voted for TWE as I've seen the other two loads and let's not forget Spaced. I think Hot Fuzz is actually my favourite. I love the scene in Shaun of the Dead when zombies are in the garden and they go to throw vinyl at them and they're like, "Not the Electo!"
