Edgar Wright - Blog Posts
I just watched Edgar Wright’s “Last Night In Soho” and OMFG I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
After months of full procrastination and self-doubt, I've finally finished my Baby Driver animation. I added a few winks of the movie that you'll immediately get if you've already seen it ;D And welp -- I know my last challenge sucked, but I'm really satisfied with this result <3
Here’s my contribution for the Cornetto Secret Santa! This one’s for @halbow, who just wanted some Hot Fuzz material– hope I delivered it! Thank you @cornettoss-2017 for this amazing activity 💛

So y'all know how both Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim were directed by Edgar Wright?
That got me thinking about hypothetical crossover shit.
So
Like
Hypothetically if Scott and Baby were locked in a room together, how long do you think it would take before Baby got violent or tried to knock the door down?
Like he canonically can put up with a lot of bullshit but Scott is a very specific bullshit and I get the feeling Baby would be vibing until Scott got into his regular bullshit and then it would be all downhill from there.
Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.
Hear me out.
The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.
The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.
Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.
When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.
What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.
Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.
I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.
Well played, Mr. Wright.
Well played.
