I really could not enjoy Cera in orginal version. He felt way to kiddo, imature and shrill.

In french canadian voice over, he sounds way more like a grown up teenage, less like a 14 years old douch.

First time in ages... I liked french version better.

Well the songs they actually do int the movie are decent but yeah SB is supposed to suck, making Steven Still's place as 'The Talent' even funnier. I think in the comic it even says, 'hey, play along at home with Sex Bomb-omb (cause they kinda suck and only know two chords)'


edit: ^^^ yeah I don't know what's up with that but I'm convinced Cera is 'doing a voice' the whole movie like he's trying to sound a bit younger and more whiny then himself. It's too bad too, because I don't think it was needed.


Also I never really Scoot was a 'jerk' in the comic, just selfish. He really doesn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings but he doesn't think about other people or include them in what he does. I thought that aspect of the character came through rather well in the movie.

Playing 'good music' clearly wasn't the point.

He says it himself.

Ramona: "You have a band?"

Scott: "Yeah.. we're terrible.."

Obviously he's being modest... but at the same time he recognizes that he's just another young fool with a garage band.

I think he's going for "douchey" (which is perfect for the character) but it just comes across as "sheepish".

Dude this is clearly what happens at the end of the movie.

I know this. The point that I was trying to make is that the change he undergoes in the movie doesn't seem as vast as it does in the graphic novel due to the way Cera plays him.

I felt Cera manages it fine given the movie's circumstances (the events unfold in a much smaller timespan of maybe a week or two, as opposed to over a year in the novels).

Otherwise, I'd agree with you.

I initially was put off by the Sex Bob-omb songs, but now I love them. Especially the opening one, makes me think of the incredible opening credits.

To celebrate the upcoming DVD / BluRay release I am very happy to announce a signing and FREE screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World in Toronto.

To say thank you to the fans who have supported us and thank you to the residents of Toronto who put up with a lot of fake snow, I am very excited to be coming back to Bloor & Bathurst for a one off special screening. Join me, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Toronto’s home town badass Ellen Wong first at HMV and then the Bloor on November 5th.

Prizes, surprises and an exclusive screening of the hour long Making Of Documentary and more.

And it’s free. First come, first served.

I won't be able to make it for the signing so I won't be able to get free passes for the screening. :(

Hopefully, I can get them through the Beguiling.

I loved the movie, but I'm in the pacing is fucked camp. It went too fast and could've done with another half an hour for just a few bits.

I think it would've been better if they made two movies. But of course, there's no way anyone would fund a project like that. I'm still surprised Universal gave Wright $60M for this (and it's probably the last time).

Oh no, there's a lot more in the comics, they had to trim the excess off for the film.

It's a shame really, because it really still is a good movie and Wright has dun good.

The strange thing is, while I did expect a better movie pacing wise, I still liked it, and I can't help but keep wanting to rewatch pieces. The whole movie was such a fucking thrill to watch, it was amazing and in the end, my first thought was "Wow, holy shit, what a ride." and I had to process it all :lol And I wanted to watch it again.

They didn't truncate the film and cut out stuff that the later books don't have. What they did was cut out a lot of the down time between ex-fights. There are other storylines that run parallel to the ex-fights with other characters that weren't in the movie, but it's not like the 3rd graphic novel is where Scott travels to the past and fights dinosaurs to get to Ramona.

Even though the movie and books cover the same story, I'd say the depth of the books definitely provide "further adventures" for those craving more after the film.

I understand the people who thought it kinda wears on you. The film really doesn't let up.

alright doods, who can tell me what the best version of this is for Blu-Ray (UK)? I looked on HMV's website but they've got various different versions for similar prices, so I got confused, as I do.

Haven't taken a look at this yet, but Guillermo Del Toro generally stridently defends and praises video games. It's pretty neat to watch.

Yeah, he's great. Hopefully, his game will turn out ok, given his ridiculously busy schedule.

Regarding, i'm glad that Edgar mentioned Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, because Gideon Gordon Graves seemed to have some influences from Ronny "Z-Man" Barzell in that movie.

These are really interesting videos. I'm hoping theres more on the blu-ray.
