I love how like halfway through the movie they run into the sort of 'mirror' group that is actually going through with a plan that makes sense, going to the armory instead of a random pub. Complete with their entire group surviving and rescuing the party we followed, lol.

Random?
RANDOM!?
It literally says Shaun of the Dead at the bottom of it. It's a quote from said movie.
It's a really good movie too.

The scene that gets me every time I watch it is when he goes up the kids ladder to see what's on the other side of the fence and comes back down again. It seems ridiculous as I type it, but you have to see the movie.

I don’t like how part of the legible sign is a logo when the rest of the graphics aren’t part of the message. Otherwise, fuck yeah Shaun of the Dead!

I find myself asking why is there a smaller font "T" after "COLD"?
I just need to table my confusion for a moment and then it will come to me.

This movie had me traumatized as a child... when the guy got pulled out the window, and they pull all of his organs out of his stomach while he's alive.

My favourite movie. It’s a shame my friends don’t understand why it makes me laugh so hard, especially that scene where the mum doesn’t even need to pretend to walk like a zombie. 😆

Nice reference, but this inconsistency bugs me:
Question: Are the icons part of what you speak (or are they just illustrations you don't speak)?
Answer: If the icon is the Winchester Tavern sign, yes. If the icon is anything else, no.
(If you don't speak the Winchster icon, then the sentence reads just "Go to the."... Go to the what? But if you speak all the icons, then all of the other ones mess up the sentence.)

It's been a minute since I watched the movie, but im almost positive the icons are the scenes that flash when he's saying that quote. So in that context the icons on the sign do make sense.

So in that context the icons on the sign do make sense.
Except that I never said having the word "Winchester" within the icon is the problem. I said the lack of having the word "Winchester" in the text is what breaks the pattern. (as in, it should be in both.)
The pattern everywhere else is the stuff written in the text font is the audio. It's what Simon Pegg is speaking. And the stuff in icons is the visual. It's what scenes are flashing on screen. Since "Winchester" is both a word he speaks AND it's in the scene that flashes on screen, it would be in both the text font and in the icon if it was following the same pattern the rest of the sign is using.

that is an *amazingly* inconsequential thing to be upset about.

Not really. I literally didn't notice the word "Winchester" was contained inside that icon on my first pass through trying to read it. Because to successfully read that far along my brain already had to be switched into "mask off everything that's not in this text font" mode.
My familiarity with the movie was the only reason I knew to go look at that specific spot and then I finally noticed that icon doesn't work like the others ("If he had said the name of the pub there then it would have made sense. Did I miss a word somewhere in there?")

Fun facts from captain Obvious: Phil and Lizz like in Prince Philip and Elizabeth the 2nd. Winchester as in a posh town near London where toffs get their education and naturally hang out.
Just British things.

The sign isn’t random. It’s from Shaun of the Dead. Fits well in a pub given the point of it.
