   As a long time admirer of TWITCH, I have never been moved to write until now.

   Not only am I amused at the article, but I am rather intrigued. What’s the Lee Marvin pose exactly. Am I making some kind of meta reference to PRIME CUT in my self concious posing?

   For the record, such photo calls are mildly tolerable and amusing when the whole crew is present, but when flying solo they are a supremely awkward experience.

   And what the fuck is with the glowing picture. I need answers.

   Edgar Wright (the one who isn’t Joe Wright)

   p.s. Sitges is a great festival. If any of you ever get the chance to go...uh...go.

   Yes the one picture as noted looks so similar to a publicity still of Lee Marvin in Prime Cut (there is a close up shot). So even though it was meant tongue and cheek it really was quite odd at the similarity when comparing.

   The glow is just a joke as I don’t know if you heard it but several girls were practically shrieking “he’s glowing, he’s glowing” as you walked out of the Melia to the little photo shoot thing. So hence we made your female fans actually see you glow. I can remove it. The shoot was odd wasn’t it with people shouting at you in Spanish like you knew exactly what they were saying.

   All the best and hope you enjoyed the post and my lame attempt at some humor versus just throwing up, “eh hey everyone here is 5 pics of Edgar, yeahhhh”

   I heartily appreciate the Lee Marvin comment.

   Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I ever looked even a little bit like Lee Marvin.

   But please do spread it around, it might mean that I get lucky.

   And for the record, glow or no glow, I failed miserably at any dalliances in Sitges.

   I clearly need to brush up on my Spanish which at the moment includes only the following phrases;’

   “Hot Fuzz: Super Policias!”
   “Arma Fatal”
   “El Desesparah De Los Muertos”
   “Bueno Dias”
   “Bueno Noche”
   “Es Demento”
   “Ey, Cabron!”

   Any further advice from bi-lingual contributors would be most welcome.

   Arma Fatal poster outside the Melia rocked. No clue what that translates to.

   Really a bit hard to tell as I don’t have a scan on hand of it. But its this image in the top left that immediately made me make the connection (of course with a bit less hair):

   Well if you make it out again we found a bar there this year that has actual beer taps on most of the tables so one can sit and pour their own beer (and see a running total on top).

   Arma Fatale - translates as ‘Lousy Weapon”.

   Which is pretty fucking amazing.

   I just looked on my pressbook I got there and the big tagline at the top of the poster apparently translates to:

   Large Police. Small town. Moderate violence.

   Ok, Edgar, here’s one more phrase you can add “excúseme falta, mire por favor mis bragas “ . Just make sure she’s hot and, er, not standing next to her boyfriend.

   Oh, and about the glowing thing. I thought that was simply a British thing. Well, in a month or so look up this site ~ datablealbinos.com ~ it’s a “dating” site I’m putting together to market English men! The glowing thing is addressed there.

   And, just remember........Datablealbinos.com ~ where “clear is our favorite color!”
