![From Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright’s tribute to the late Edward Woodward, who died in Cornwall today, aged 79:
I digress slightly, but let me say that if you [want] to pay tribute to Edward today, then simply watch the original version of The Wicker Man. It is a film that he was very proud of and I think that it ranks as one of the best British films of all time. It certainly has an indisputably harrowing ending.](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kt8pckmaWD1qz6jndo1_400.jpg)

From Wired magazine, “Ask a Basterd: Can I Answer My Cell at a Movie if It Seems Urgent?” Answer:

I don’t have a ton of contact with the Scranton branch, but before I left, I took a box of Dwight’s stationery. So, from time to time, I send Dwight faxes. From himself. From the future.
