Whenever people say things like this I always wonder why they're watching films they supposedly didn't enjoy multiple times. I mean, it's good that you like it now and all, but I don't want to watch twilight three times on the off chance that I might get into it after a while.

Some of my favorite films of all-time are ones I didn't really like on first viewing (2001, Blade Runner, many Malick films, Assassination of JJ and many, many more). Scott Pilgrim is nowhere near this category, but I think rewatching films can be quite beneficial.

NOOOOOO

Is this weird bolding or something? Did he just announce he's retiring from making movies?

one of those "need the :lol" back situations. Really guys?

I do love that Murray loves SP.

 

[Madrical]

Relevant?

Some kinda music video with game imagery that's kinda evocative of SP

That is the worst thing I have ever seen or heard in my life.

Everyone who worked on anything to do with this video clip or audio should be ashamed of themselves.

>_>

Really wouldn't figure SP to Murray's kind of movie. Although, I guess he does have a taste for the ridiculous.

Anyway, Bill Murray in an Edgar Wright movie? Yes, please.

SP Wedding Invites:

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

Just reconfirms that Bill Murray is a man-god, and that Rushmore, Life Aquatic, and Scott Pilgrim are the pinnacle of modern cinema.

Murray is the finest of wines.

Indeed.

He shoulda won that damn Oscar a few years ago.

Yeah, that's why I asked it was relevant.

Edgar Wright for Ghostbusters 3! This MUST happen.

 

[tyguy20204]

Count me as one of those people that just didn't get this film, and I grew up as a big fan of video games and that entire culture. It was probably one of the worst films I saw that year.

So much gloss, and yet so shallow, and terrible acting by many involved...

But carry on.

Edit: Whoever mentioned Rushmore as being in the same breath as this movie, I completely disagree. Rushmore actually had some real, earned, pathos. I can definitely see Scott Pilgrim trying to hit that mark, but it completely missed.

Granted, it's hard. Wes Anderson has had a hard time hitting that mark since Rushmore.

people don't know how to take jokes, apparently.

He said on Twitter he would turn it down if he was offered because nothing could be better than the first.

blade runner got way better the second time i watched it. some albums need to be heard many, many times before it all "clicks". you just gotta give things a fair shot and sometimes it means returning to it days/weeks/months later with a fresh perspective.

Humbleness has its place.

But in this case, fuck humbleness.

I never put two and two together, but now that I have, there is no director better for it.

Now I hate him. Seriously he is the only person who's made a movie with similar humor in recent memory to Ghostbusters. What a jerk.

I thought it was kinda weird, but when you think about his film choices in the past 15 or so years and who he's considered a friend/collaborator with, it makes sense.

Him making movies with that similar humor is why he shouldn't touch Ghostbusters. It's not like he doesn't already have dozens of ideas floating around in his head for other original material. Why attempt to touch an old franchise when he can put out so much more?

The problem is now we're gonna get Ghostbusters III with Apatow humor.

Seriously though, can anyone name any other movies in recent memory that have a similar humor to Ghostbusters? It was almost like British humor... but at the same time not...

Give it to Jason Reitman. Goes hand in hand with the "passing the torch" theme.
