| Let's talk about Scott Pilgrim AND Inception *spoilers* |

..because I saw both of these movies over the past two weeks and am itching to gush. :3 Warning from the getgo that there *WILL* be spoilers, and I am not expecting people to use spoiler tags in this thread and painting it black. Proceed at your own risk if you haven't seen either yet. (And I mean, if you're worried about spoilers why are you reading this thread anyway >:|) Also, this is totally not a 'Movies' thread because god we have too many megathreads already. But if the topic evolves into other movies I won't stop it. Anyway. Just got out of the theater after watching Inception, and wooow. :o I was a little put off at first because it was feeling vaguely like a ripoff of Paprika, but it came unto its own soon enough. Currently liking this interpretation of the movie I caught off Penny Arcade, but i'm still riding the high from my memories of the film. Kinda want to start carrying around a totem now, does that make me a huge dork? Also, Ellen Paaaage :* AHEM. So, I also watched Scott Pilgrim twice over the past week and a half. Can't remember the last time I saw a movie twice in theatres, but it was worth it. Michael Sera made me skeptical that i'd like his interpretation of Pilgrim, but he pulled it off well enough. The visuals, soundtrack, timing, and delivery of the movie was AWESOME. Lots of hits, very few misses. Definitely did the graphic novels justice. So, anyone see either of these and what did you think? |
| Drake:
scott pilgrim was fucking amazing that is all |
| Nobu:
oh no you don't Like, what parts were amazing? :3 Care to elaborate? |
| JT:
I honestly think they could have done a lot worse than Michael Cera. It could have been Shia LaBeouf. Nicolas Cage would be Ramona. Or better yet, just have Shia LaBeouf play Ramona too. Have him play every character. SCOTT PILGRIM: LABEOUF EDITION But yeah, everything Edgar Wright is involved in is automatically great. See Shaun of the Dead if you haven't yet. |

There was absolutely no way I was expecting the fight scenes to be so elaborate. Like holy cow the fight scenes were good. The shoutouts to many video games through sound effects and etc were another tidbit I really liked, especially since I recognized nearly all of them Ha ha, old chap! (there was quite a bit of Zelda it seemed). The entire thing was pretty on-the-track to the comic itself, I loved the comical bright and colorful design of the whole movie, how nobody comments on anything out-of-the-ordinary happening (including murdering people and their bodies turning into coins), and the whole quick and precise subtlety to every movement and camera switch. I noticed it before this movie, but Cera seems to always take the role of the bumbling dude that does nothing, is put up against the super 'manly' guys and ultimately ends up manning up himself. I dunno, he just seems to really fit these kinds of roles so perfectly and this movie was no exception. It's obvious he's a fan of video games to begin with, so yeah. ALSO VEGAN POLICE WERE POSSIBLY THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE THING |
