Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Dir. Wright, Cera, Kendrick, Evans, Schwartzman)

So I finally got to see this last night after waiting for my brother to finish the books.

The theater was surprisingly crowded. I guess since it's been chased out of most movie theaters already people who want to see it don't have many options.

Anywho... Loved it. Music was fantastic, especially Black Sheep by TCAD. Very funny too, everyone in the theater really enjoyed the "Bread makes you fat?!" line.
 
I'll probably be able to import the BRD from the US before the movie hits theatres down here (that is, if it does).
 
Fuck. I think I might be jumping on the "this is a perfect movie" bandwagon. I just can't get it out of my head and stop thinking about how tight, how stylish, how entertaining, how funny, how poignant, and how superb everything in it is. I've said it before in this thread and I'll say it again: Scott Pilgrim is a gorgeous work of pop art.
 
SP is fucking amazing. It's not even close to being the perfect movie, though. That would be

I don't know if I would say perfect, but I really want to go see it again. I loved it so much.

SP Is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. Damnit I'd mention it in every thread and post if I could. I'm obsessed with it as well.
 
Well this November Blu-ray release rumor certainly put me in a good mood. When I heard January a deep anger started brewing inside me. Not counting chickens before they hatch though, will wait for official word.

Did anyone else (in graphic novels or the movie) understand where he was going with the Cleaning Lady quote right away?

That means that I'll buy the US bluray before the movie hit theater in my country.

Must... Not... Buy... the bluray...
 
The movie, while genre bending does so with such *UMMPHHHH* that it makes wonder why so many people are quick to dismiss the movie?

From the opening with the 8-bit music, absolutely hooked and along for the ride. Will definitely buy this on BR and hope that the films (apparent) cult following will pay off.
 
Ok, I've decided that I want to make love to this movie. I can't stop thinking about it for some reason. The soundtrack is sooo good too.
 
A friend of mine just brought me that from PAX, making her my best friend ever.

Dude. I want one of these.
 
I want a Scott Pilgrim shirt but I've only seen the red one that looks like the poster at Hot Topic but it was too small for me.
 
Just back from seeing it for a second time, really enjoyed it. The fight scenes (twins aside) were brilliant. Though the music could have been better - I assumed that's kind of the point but whatever.

Really hope this crawls to profitability on DVD & bluray, really don't want wright's stock to tank, the man is amazing when he's on form.
 
I'm buying it on Blu-Ray day one.

Also buying a copy of the movie, in blu-ray, to everyone I know who has a blu-ray player for xmas. If you don't have one, it's a DVD for you.

Saw it three times now. Always come out amazed at how good it is :)
 
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, for me, cemented Edgar Wright's place as one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. He hasn't done anything I haven't loved to death. And that's including his music videos and Pizza Hut commercial. :lol

And here's the shirt I have.

This was hilarious. I saw the movie with a bunch of friends and not everyone caught that.
Yep, they're goners. The males at least. Infanticide is not cool.
 
Gideon is wearing it under his jacket during the Battle of the Amps and Edgar Wright has been seen sporting it during interviews and junkets.

Saw this for the second time :D

Glad I did. This time I wasn't bring up comic comparisons in my head and was just treating the film as its own thing, which is probably the best way to go about it. Glad I got another cinema viewing of it, as visually and aurally it's great for the big screen. Unfortunately the sound wasn't that loud at the Odeon I went to :/...an oddball complaint, but on my first viewing at Vue the title music blurted out to such a satisfyingly ludicrous volume!

Next viewing will be on DVD. For now, I must get the soundtrack(s)!
 
I really hope the blu-ray is like some 3hr mega directors cut with a crapload of deleted scenes integrated back into the movie.

I hope this, not because I thought the movie was bad, but just the opposite. I loved it so much, I didn't want it to end. Hopefully the DVD will add some SP/Nat backstory or some other stuff...

There was only about 15 min of deleted scenes from what Wright has said.

I could see them putting on the Adult Swim thing that was made (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmimK80duA), and a bunch of commentary awesomeness. At least two commentary tracks, one for the cast+director, one for cinematography/special effects co-ordinator/etc.

That, would make me happy. I'm SO CLOSE to being happy, since it comes out the day before my birthday.

Your not alone. When I saw it first in the comics I was like "Fuck yeah, Peter Mansbridge."
