Scott Pilgrim and the Movie That Makes Me Nervous

I saw this a few days ago, thought it was really funny. I still want to read the books, since I know a lot had to get cut out to fit 6 volumes in 2 hours, but standing alone it did pretty well.
The accusations of twilight for boys miss one of the important differences. In Scott Pilgrim, Scott and Ramona are both flawed characters, their struggle involves trying to screw up less and fix their messed-up lives. Bella and Edward are presented as perfect, even when they quite obviously are terrible people.
Oddly enough, my biggest problems with the movie were music-related, Stephen Stills' acoustic sounded like an electric, and I'm pretty sure I noticed other things while i was there. And was I the only one that heard what sounded like an instrumental version of Black Flag's Nervous Breakdown during the random fight right before the Gideon fights? That wasn't a problem, though, just a surprise.
Johnny C:
the inadvertent comparison to twilight falls flat in that there are no scenes where native american dudes drive by in slow motion while a fucking wolf howls in the background
Johnny C:
before we seriously pursue what is honestly just a goofy mistake comparison let's step back and try to remember everything that twilight does wrong and then let's take a seat and maybe press something cold and damp to the side of our head to try to calm the impending embolism
scarred:
haven't seen the movie yet but i just read the books and holy shit they were fantastic.
