July 21, 201016 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NUBVcit5VM A topic where we can all Discuss anything Scott Pilgrim. As always, put spoilers in tags. [spoiler=Synopsis]The series is about 23-year-old Canadian Scott Pilgrim, a slacker, hero, and part-time bassist who is living in Toronto and plays bass guitar in the band "Sex Bob-Omb." He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona V. Flowers, but must defeat her seven "evil exes" in order to date her. There are in total 6 volumes of Scott Pilgrim. I just finished reading all the volumes today and I must say I'm looking forward for the movie. I just wished they wouldn't pick Micheal Cera as Scott Pilgrim, but eh lets see if it works!Discuss! Wongton is better than me in anyway~~
July 21, 201016 yr The movie looks pretty good being directed by Edgar Wright. I don't know much about anything else. My friend though is a super fanatic about it.. and won't shut up about it... :wall: If you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
July 21, 201016 yr Looks pretty awesome. If it's from the guy who made Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, it's gotta be worth the watch. I've never actually heard of the series, though, so I guess I won't be disappointed if they butcher it, at least. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men
July 21, 201016 yr Interesting choice of actors. I never ready the comics, even though I've been looking for them for ages. The movie style reminds of of "No More Heroes". Don't know why.
July 22, 201016 yr Author Ay it's a good series to read, but I promise you if you read all of them in one sitting your going to get confused. Wongton is better than me in anyway~~
July 31, 201015 yr I'll probably see it; looks pretty good to me. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.
July 31, 201015 yr The comics were pretty good, but they get a lot more hype than I think is due. This film though is directed/written by Edgar Wright and has Mary Elizabeth Winstead in it, so it could possible be the movie with the greatest amount of win ever.
August 6, 201015 yr I would really like to read the comics. The movie trailer looked really good to me, but of course I haven't read the comics as previously mentioned. E: Awesome, the library system has it. With SIX reservations on the first one. :wall:
August 6, 201015 yr Been looking forward to this film for ages :D. This and the final entry to the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy. I'm going to read the comic after watching the film just in case I find the film not true to its source material (like kick ass).

August 7, 201015 yr I'm really looking forward to the soundtrack for this movie (the new Beck song more specifically). I hope the movie itself isn't just a corny money-grab using the recent popularity of Michael Cera. I've never read any of the comics, so I don't know what style they were written in.

August 7, 201015 yr I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of seeing a 21yr old male being cast as a 16yr old boy. Seriously. The "hopeless but adorable male" persona was cute at first, but now it's annoying. It actually is making me shut down mentally, and I dread seeing this movie because of him.

The "hopeless but adorable male" persona was cute at first, but now it's annoying. It actually is making me shut down mentally, and I dread seeing this movie because of him. Scott Pilgrim is 23, so he is actually playing someone older than his age. That is, assuming they use the same age as Scott in the comics. Also hopeless but adorable is halfway right but halfway completely wrong, once again it would be best to read to understand.
August 8, 201015 yr Michael Cera is still playing the same role regardless of his new character's age though. Hope Johnny Simons's role in the film isn't like some of his previous ones.
August 8, 201015 yr Michael Cera really showed a different character than normal, but with some similar qualities to his arrested development character. I absolutely loved this movie. I saw a screening and plan to watch it again when it comes out. It is a non stop barrage of jokes which really works.It beats out my number one movie Fight Club.
August 9, 201015 yr Yeah Michael Cera is the same in every movie. He's like a young, Canadian Will Ferrel. Still, the movie looks decent. I'll probably go see it. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
August 9, 201015 yr It looks pretty good, although I have never heard of Scott Pilgrim until the movie. I'll definitely watch it when it comes to my local drive-in. Which it should do in the first couple of weeks.
August 13, 201015 yr Michael Cera is my favorite actor because he knows how to use the right dose of realism.
August 14, 201015 yr Going to see it in an hour. Hadn't heard of it before a few weeks ago, but it looks like something I would love too much. I'm excited, and then I think I'm gonna read the comics.
August 14, 201015 yr Just got back form the movie, and I loved it. Don't think I've ever LOL'd so much during a movie. I'll admit it's defiantly not for everyone, and I just know the "intellectuals" are going to [cabbage] all over it. But whatever, haters gon' hate :rolleyes:
August 14, 201015 yr BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN THEATERS IN A WHILE. SEE IT. OUR THEATER HAD MAYBE 10 PEOPLE AT 9:30. If you don't get it though, you're NOT going to like it. But if you do, you're going to love it TOO much. In it's element, it's a god.
August 14, 201015 yr Btw, I just got through reading book 1 of the comic and so far it seems the movie has been pretty loyal to the comic. A few things were different, but then again a lot of the lines were the same. Most notably it seems scott and friends weren't as big of nerds as they were in the movie. But TBH that just made it better :thumbup:
