I loved the movie, but of course the books are better. They did a phenomenal job of making their on take on the story, even though some parts were left out. It felt rushed at times, but it stands as my favorite edited film of all time.

So, Scott Pilgrim failed to make over 11M the opening weekend, and many people are labeling it a failure.  Shit kind of sucks.  This article tries to shed some light on it.

Now, I can't figure out if I want to agree with this article.  It seems true, but the author says some very stupid shit throughout.  But even the very stupid shit is probably true...

I liked it a lot. I want more films to treat being in a band that well.


I definitely need to read the comics now.

20-year-old hipsters weren't even born back when me and my now thirty-something friends first dragged out all the cables to hook our first ever Nintendo up to the television for a round or two of Duck Hunt.

Ahahahaha, what? Yeah, I've never played an NES before in my life, guys! Didn't grow up with one, nuh-uh!

For god's sake.....

Oh yeah, the NES?  It's a pretty obscure system, you've probably never heard of it.

I get the feeling that everyone who wanted to see the movie already has.  There was a massive advertising presence of Facebook, making people join the group to release new trailers, so I don't see how more they can't get the word out there about this movie.

I never understood the hatred of hipsters.

Also Scott Pilgrim was a pretty great movie. I think it will be a cult classic when it shows up on DVD.

Haha, no. I just found it funny that apparently you have to be 30 to know what an NES is, which is a ridiculous statement.

Also, why is everything labeled hipster these days?

I have no fucking idea, what the hell is a hipster?

I'm probably a hipster when I shave and dress well and go watch scott pilgrim and have friends

(when I don't shave I'm just a nerd)

One of the characters wears a shirt that says hipster, so they are labeling themselves.

I don't think the sort of hipsters that get a lot of flak exist in large enough numbers to do any harm.

I just saw it yesterday, easily the best movie i have seen this year. i had a few big issues, most of which could have been resolved had it been split into 2 movies. i really didn't like how it seemed only to take place over like a week, it made the relationship a lot less believable and made it seem like they spent their entire time together either fighting exes or having sex. it also should've had more subspace, it was barely in the movie. also, if it had been in 2 movies, they could've added development to kim and other side characters instead of just knives. SPEAKING OF KNIVES, her degree of involvement in the climax was sort of weird considering she has nothing to do with gideon. at all.
