Scott PilgrimFollow

Go see it. Seriously. My favorite move of the year so far. I think it's even a little better than Kick ***.

I admit, I haven't read the comics, but the movie did this quite well, IMO.

I wanted to go tonight but none of my friends could...so maybe it'll be Sunday.

Yes. Because women actually like Scott Pilgrim, and he fights people.

I also wouldn't say that he's as intelligent as Bluth.

However, the movie is much better than just Michael Cera.

I saw this earlier and I thought it was great. Very true to the book (give or take some inevitable book/movie transition changes), but more than that it managed to really capture the feel of the comic. The over the top action, the narration, the text boxes and labels, the sound effects, it really felt like the comic come to life rather than just a movie based it.

My only real complaint is that it felt pretty rushed, but that's kind of inevitable when you're trying to fit 6 volumes of a comic into a two hour movie.




I'm not a huge fan of his either but he was great in this role.

I really enjoyed this movie. It not only entertained me throughout, but I've literally never seen anything like it before. Sure, some of Cera's fight scenes were a bit awkward, but it's pretty much what he's known for.

The Spoilervegan police had me in tears.

If you have a PS3 there is a 2-D, 4-Player, Side-Scrolling, Beat'em Up game available in the PSN Store for $10. The 360 version won't be available till the 26th I believe.

Just an update on this, I ended up watching The Expendables, because I didn't have anyone else to watch Scott Pilgrim with.

Oh well, I got a few chuckles out of Expendables.

I've never actually gone to a theater showing alone, it just seems odd.

An awesome Bollywood dance scene for the first evil ex battle.

You win this round, Trebek.

I wasn't sure if I could sit through yet another movie with a stereotypical ectomorph social reject with that "I LISTEN TO INDIE MUSIC AND BUY MY CLOTHES AT THE THRIFT STORE!" look who is trying to hook up with an equally quirky girl. This one sounds like it might actually be entertaining.

It's not that he listens to INDIE music... he PLAYS it!

Oh, and their band is called the Sex Bob-ombs. How can you not love that?

Other than that though, it can hardly be called a romantic comedy by normal standards (despite the movie being heavy in both romance and comedy).

I guess my biggest problem with this kind of thing is that it caters to this culture of people who fit in with each other because they "don't fit in." Like, that's their bond; they don't fit in. It contradicts itself because they fit in to their own group. Glorifying geek "culture" as this trendy thing is annoying as hell. It's geeky because it's not trendy. Bah!

Maybe my problem is that I just don't like people.
