Dude needs to quit putting the pussy on the pedestal. No chick is worth dying 13 times. Especially the chick in those commercials. Fuck that.

The first trailer for this movie got me interested enough to go out and buy Vol. 1 of the comic. Loved it, and now I really want to watch the movie. Can anyone who's been keeping up with the film news tell me if I'll be good continuing to read after I've seen the movie? (I've been avoiding this thread like the plague to avoid getting too curious and looking at spoilers, so I'm not sure.)

the movie follows the plot closely until vol. 3, then it's just "loosely based" on the other 3. Read the whole series first, you won't be disappointed.

Good to hear. Guess I'll at least try to get my hands on volumes 2 and 3 before watching the movie. Still gonna finish the series.

Me too. I didn't really think about this movie too much wasn't planning on watching and then saw she was in it and thought, "Hey, maybe I should go to opening night."

I'm way more pumped for this then I was for Inception. Nolan's epic scope is great and all, but I just love Wright's originality and overall quirkiness. Any screenings in NYC happening between July 28 and August 5?

Well, I was a little concerned when I saw the trailer, since it focused almost entirely on the battle scenes, and the book is about so much more. And because the film is condensing six volumes and six battles (two of the exes are twin brothers who fight Scott together) into around 100 minutes, the battles do, in fact, take up a large chunk of the running time, at the expense of some subplots (Scott's job search, Knives' father, the band's creative troubles and pretty much anything to do with Kim, to name a few) that made the reading experience richer.

I figured this was gonna happen, sigh. Fighting was the least entertaining part of the books.

But the fight sequences from the books have been beefed up in the films. Apparently they are very entertaining.

It looks like Kieran is getting lots, and I mean *lots* of praise. Expected, but welcomed anyway; I think Wallace is one of the characters that could really make the movie or break it.

If we could only get a little more Kim :(

Yeah, I'm absolutely on team Kim, but I guess that's the price for squeezing 3-6 books into one movie. You have to focus on the story between Scott and Ramona.

Edgar needs to get his shit together and throw a Ramona+Kim spin-off.

Or something.

A Lisa + Kim spin off would work better. Because they ignored the flashback stuff and Lisa Miller plotlines, they can work that as the backstory for it.

Might as well view Scott Pilgrim in the same way we're meant to view the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - every iteration is the same basic story, just told a little differently so that they can each be their own entity.
