"Hipster" is a derogatory slur you use against someone who you think is just as disingenuous as you secretly are.
I didn't have a clue about this Scott whatsit before this thread, but if his band's name is "Clash at the Demonhead" I approve. "Scott Pilgrim and the Mr. Gimmicks" would have been way sexier, though.
No, The Clash at Demonhead is his ex's band, his is The Sex Bob-Ombs. I think I need to see this movie now. Shame it's apparently not out over here.  |

Ah, alright. THe only information about the movie was relayed to me by a pal with the entire comic collection on his shelf. I'll have to ask him about borrowing it.

The greatest reference in the movie went right over my head for a surprisingly long time.
...'Chaos Theatre'. Can't believe it took me so long

Since I won't be able to see the movie for some months I want to know if one scene from the books is in the movie. It's from book one, when Kim says about Knives Chau that she's Sex Bob-omb biggest fan and Young Neil cries and runs away, so is it in the movie?
I found that scene hilarious, don't know why, but I would love to see that scene in motion.

I saw it opening weekend and I liked it but having not read the books some of the stuff didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I did like the shots of Toronto as I live there and sat in the Pizza Pizza across from Honest Ed's where on of the shots was. Also the part with the vegan guy was hilarious.

Got to see this the other day (now its finally out in the UK) - and its pretty good fun.
I love the books, and first half was surprising close to volume one. Most of the casting was spot on too (weakest being kim/scott/ramona).
But overall it felt like it would have benefited from a few slower sections. The pace was a constant gogogo throughout.
Would be cool if they could use the books to make a tv series (like SPACED), there is a lot of great stuff in the books they couldn't pack into the film.

You know, I feel rather ashamed to admit that I seem to be the only person among my friends who had honestly never heard of this before I saw the preview for it - did I miss out on a huge amount of comic culture?
I was very impressed, though, to see that it appeared to be presented as very game-like - and not, as is usually the case, presented like what somebody who's never played any of them thinks games are like.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona just didn't cut it for me. Personal ideal would have been Ellen Page, but then again Ellen Page is my personal ideal for everything.

^ This Ellen Page is perfect for every role and don't any of you say otherwise. |

I was gonna see this a few days ago, but the theater (singular) that was playing it here has ALREADY DROPPED IT! What the hell!? I guess Scott Pilgrim isn't really the most popular sort of movie in Alabama. I think people here are allergic to fun.
So I went to see The Expendables instead. It was ok.
