I'm really looking forward to (also maybe, hopefully) seeing it while I am back home. I think its set in Toronto too, which is a neat little bonus. |

I was wondering the same thing. Quote: He's jobless, lives in a dump of a basement apartment with a gay roommate who would prefer more privacy and is dating a girl from a Catholic high school. He plays bass in a third-rate (maybe fourth-rate) rock band going absolutely nowhere on the local club scene. In other words, hes got lame and loser written all over him.

Scott Pilgrim has more video game references than this board (most months). Sex Bob-omb Scott Pilgrim gets a life (Mega Man style 1-up) Flaming sword 64 hit combo I've raved about it before Glade explosions in the past... and it is an awesome and very approachable graphic novel. I have not seen the film but hopefully this weekend, with Michael and Mrs. Katas. |

Michael and his friend who happens to be a lady enjoyed it. I will leave him to post a review, but it was hard for me to contain my joy. Like LotR - there are some Tom Bombadil moments but it was true enough to the source material that you can't strenuously object to the adaptation. |

Scott Pilgrim comic reader for iOS Elmo... You've seen Across the Universe? You've heard of Mama Mia? This movie is like Shigeru Miyamoto meets Mama Mia with some Yoshinori Kitase thrown in. |

I am not familiar with the source material, nor am I as avid a gamer as Katas or many of you. I did recognize a lot of the gaming references, and some of them were pretty obvious references to games I haven't played. It is a very stylized, niche, cult movie. However, the cult is pretty much every male and most female geeks over the last 30 years. Not knowing the source material, I can't say how true to the material the story and cast were, but it all worked, remained consistent in a very comfortable way, and was well put together. The music was what it was meant to be, game themes, heavy metal rock by B-List bands and lower, hard grinding or soft sentimental in one case. The characters worked well together, the actors were on, all the time, each one of them remaining in character, no matter how stupid or silly or evil the character was. If you are a gamer, go see it, this weekend preferably. If you are not a gamer, my non-gamer friend loved it for all the silliness and fun of it. It helps that for the most part, no character in the movie is a stranger to you, they are all familiar, though extreme versions of people you already know in real life. Thumbs up, strong eight, maybe a low nine on the ten point scale of summer movies. We will see how it does at the box office, but the only awards I see it bringing home would be in the technical areas. |

Previews looked good, then never heard of it again. |

I haven't seen it but my brother and sister-in-law said it was basically Nick n' Nora's all over again. |

So like Johnny Depp without the Crazy? |

No, Johnny Depp has a great deal of range as an actor. |

Bruce Campbell usually plays Bruce Campbell. We love him because he is awesome, not because of his range. Mister Rogers was always Mister Rogers… whether he was on camera or in person.  You either love Mister Rogers and wish he was your neighbor or you want to punch his corpse in the face. Michael Cera is much the same… you either love him in Arrested Development, Juno, Scott Pilgrim, Nick & Nora… or you despise all these awesome scripts with him in them. |

The game's soundtrack fills me with rage and a desire to punch babies. I like babies. |
