Scott Pilgrim and the Movie That Makes Me Nervous
Bearer:
damn, I was really worried about the whole "kicking Kim out of the movie" thing, which I thought was pretty much inevitable. Watching the video blogs, she was clearly the one having the most fun on set, which is a huge part of what makes up acting talent in my opinion anyway.
smack that isaiah:
I just saw a commercial and realized that Mae Whitman, who played Egg/Ann Veal on Arrested Development is Roxy Richter in this! I love when actors who were in something together come back and are in something else together.
Johnny C:
ahahaha holy shit how did i not know kieran culkin was playing wallace? that rules
Professor Snuggles:
This was pretty good! Had like, 1/8th of the depth of character of the comics, which I guess is fair because you can't really put all the awesome "the band is hanging out" scenes in and keep the movie at a reasonable length, but I missed that, a lot. I think people who haven't read the books will like this better than people who have, it was a little too slap-happy, not enough tender moments.
Like, the first half hour they basically followed the books perfectly, every scene, every little dialogue cue, etc, but they sort of just went for back to back fight scenes after that. No Honest Ed's, no backstory on Envy, no real development of the Roxy/Ramona relationship...
Still, had a blast.

I'm not sure if it's fair for me to review this (being myself a 23 year old socially awkward bass player and video game enthusiast from Toronto, heh) but that was awesome fun!
The one thing that puzzles me is that reviewers kept saying that this wasn't the sort of thing they'd have expected from the guy who directed hot fuzz and shaun of the dead. Maybe not Shaun of the Dead, which was more slow-paced, but I saw similarities to Hot Fuzz all over the place.
edit: though that said, responding to the post above mine, I've only gotten halfway through the first of the comics so far
