Too bad for European countries, but at least you know its coming out :/ no news of ever making it to Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina apparently.

Fuckin SUCKS. If i dont hear anything around August im gonna kill somebody.

 

[Jintor]

I think he's saying the movie very literally adapts the first three books, then deviates from there. I'm the wrong person to ask about that, though.

Yeah, sorry. I keep forgetting people can't read my mind. :<

we're fucking screwed, bro. I really believe that if the movie makes it to Lat. Am, it'll be next year (and that'd be a best case scenario). Hopefully I'm wrong and we get it in september or something - I don't want to wait 6 months.

according to some rumours (nothing official), it'll reach Chile next year. FUCK.

that'd be the worst thing ever

 

[SketchTheArtist]

I can't stress out how awesome the movie is!

Especially the part where

Spoiler

Lucas Lee skates down the stair's railing

. That sequence was one of the best filmed and put together I have seen in a couple years. Really cool stuff.

 

[Chorazin]

I'm shocked that people are shocked that the

Spoiler

Scott-Kim angle was cut.

You can only fit so much in a two hour movie!

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

not shocked, just sad.

 

[The Elite]

GRRARRR!

I missed out on a screening in Toronto yesterday!

Infinite Sadness!

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

not shocked, just sad.

At the risk of sounding like the creators of Lost, Scott/Kim was simply not the story that BLOM was telling, and I don't think it ever was. Kim was relevant as an ex and as Scott's friend but that's as far as it goes, she was just a cool background character. I read through all of SP in the past couple of months and I didn't even see any inkling of a Scott/Kim romance until I came online to read up on the series.

Still, if you want it that bad you can always write fanfic, BLOM was saying that he wanted more people to be inspired to make comics from SP :lol

 

[Jintor]

I wonder what his next series will be?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

At the risk of sounding like the creators of Lost, Scott/Kim was simply not the story that BLOM was telling, and I don't think it ever was.

It's not really the point he was trying to make I think - there's a lot of character development bits that ended up getting cut/reduced to make the film fit in its running time. And it's these character development bits that really make the comic series for many of us.

book spoilers ahoy:

Spoiler

The point of the sub-plot was that Scott is as big a dick as Ramona, and that Kim would never give Scott another chance after he blew her off when sleeping around his place. Given that the first point can be done in numerous ways (Hello there Knives) and the second point was completely missed by most people her who honestly thought Scott would get with Kim (probably those saddened by it being cut in fact) it's easy to see why it would be cut.

Given people raving about how amazing Kim is in the movie I don't think people should be too upset about it.

for those who have seen recent screenings. i heard rumblings that the ending has been changed from earlier cuts, like the one i saw, can you confirm something. (mega film spoilers)

does he still end up with knives?

Call me crazy, but I think that would've been a better ending. I mean, yeah, Ramona's the girl of his dreams or whatever, but I feel like their entire relationship was forced to the point where I didn't really buy the ending. It just would've more sense for Scott to go back to Knives at the end, since she felt far more developed both as a character and as a love interest.

A Q&A just popped up on AICN with Sylvester Stallone, with the first question coming from Edgar Wright...

Mr Stallone, my question is this. Will you go and see Scott Pilgrim Vs The World on opening weekend if I go and see The Expendables? Bear in mind that I saw Rambo and Rocky Balboa opening day and loved them both.

Yours faithfully, Edgar Wright (age 36)
UK

p.s. neither of us have to see Eat, Pray, Love.

Edgar, I promise to see SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD only if you pull your spleen out through your nose with a tractor cable. Now, I admire the technology in SCOTT PILGRIM, I’m a supporter, I’m a fan of hard work and I believe this film is entitled to be a bona fide hit, but I truly believe if I were to grab the proverbial bag of bonbons and buttered popcorn and plop my carcass dead center preparing to enjoy the movie in all its glory, the ghosts of Charles Bronson and John Wayne would rise from their graves and snap me to death with oil soaked rat tail towels. So needless to say, I wish him well, but I gotta stay true to my roots so I’ll be watching EAT PRAY LOVE.

 

[ezekial45]

Damn. :lol :lol

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Woah, Stallone is a verbose :lol I guess demonstrating his vocab in text makes up for his mumbling in person.

Still, boo!! :lol

 

[ReiGun]

Nice Stallone. :lol :lol

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Spoiler

holy fuck yes. i hated that ending

WOW. Was that real?? That is insane, I would have been pissed if I saw that tbh.

Spoiler

Knives is lovely and all but she's not really suited to Scott IMO. Although it is kinda funny, Knives is to Scott as Scott is to Ramona in a way, she totally idolised him even after her broke her heart. But still, no way should they end up together.

 

[Pacbois]

In France it was first announced for August, then October. Now Universal Pictures says it's for 1/12 :/

Apparently O'Malley's working on some animation shorts on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim to go along with the movie:

"it's gonna be like a series of short animations (to promote the movie).

One of them will be the vol 2 high school stuff with kim and lisa miller.

I don't know how long it will be but the rough they showed me was like 5 minutes.

The stars of the movie will do the voices for the cartoons.

I haven't seen any final animation yet but i have a feeling it will be pretty cool. Not "paper cutouts" like some people suggested. It's supposed to be fully animated and based on the book."

 

[Expendable.]

David Slade enjoyed it!

THE MIGHTY SCOTT PILGRIM vs THE WORLD is the best film I've seen all year and has fixed a permagrin to my face.

THE MIGHTY SCOTT PILGRIM vs THE WORLD makes me want to shake Edgar Wright's hand until his arm comes off.

HAH! Cera, Scwartzman, and Evans have a photo spread in next month's GQ illustrating what they call "Pantsless Saturdays". Unfortunately, these photos are probably NWS.

Yeah, well, I went to the chilean Universal Pictures website and looked at the release dates for the next 6 months... Scott Pilgrim is listed on January 13th, 2011. God-fucking-dammit.

(sorry for the double post, I just found this information)

What? You've got to be kidding me... If it continues like that the US blu-ray will be released before it's even in our theaters. Well, their loss since I have a region-free blu-ray player...

I cannot wait to read Ebert's review of this movie.

 

[Rorschach]

put up our Comic-Con review:



9 out of 10

Spoiler

Sadly, the ending is also where the main issues lies. It feels rushed and who Scott picks doesn’t exactly feel…natural. It all seems to build up to him being with Knives rather than Ramona. They seem perfect for each other and this is even pointed out by Ramona herself. It’s not entirely bothersome, but it’s the only notable hiccup in the film.

Huh... that's not how the relationship worked out in the comic at all.

Always thought Knives and Pilgrim were a better fit.

Amazon often uses USPS for their slower shipping options, and if you're close to a distribution center you'll often get things quickly even with a slower option.

Did they change it? Or am I just reading this shit wrong?

Edgar Wright stated that he was going to put in some changes to the movie once he knew what vol 6 was going to do, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Wright et al. did reshoots earlier this year. I'm guessing that the original ending just didn't test well, though wanting to make it closer to the book might have been a secondary factor.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Impressions from early screenings seemed to indicate otherwise I thought.

FUCK FUCK. The project bulb broke 15 mins into our screening. We are waiting for them to fix it. The beginning is amazing. God damn it.

 

[Einbroch]

Oh well. We'll just have something to look forward to on Blu-Ray then!

although i couldnt help but highlight spoilers from what i guess is the original ending that they changed? WOW i cant believe edgar used that as the ending.
