final battle??

Scott Pilgrim is my favorite comic series

Dammit I've only bought the first book and I really like it but I haven't had time to go out and get the others. Hopefully I can do it when I'm back in Portland, I got a gift card to Powell's.

Also I wanna see this movie (after I read the books).
Which books is the movie based off of?

Quote from: AnkhClock;1714640Which books is the movie based off of?

The movie is called "Scott Pilgrim VS The World", so presumably the first and second ones.

I've read the series up to book four, but it seems a bit like it's starting to slide.

allah dem

loosely, though. like, hellboy loosely.

But I thought he wasn't finished with the series yet, doesn't he have one more book to go?

Hellboy was a good movie though.

UbiSoft Montreal is producing a Scott Pilgrim game to coincide with the film's release. Scott is really going places!

I only ever managed to get the second book so far, so I haven't really read any of the series yet...

I've read all of them so far. They're really great.

I love the books and I think the film looks great!

yeah, but o'malley worked closely with wright and the film makers in some respects.

Quote from: AnkhClock;1714643Hellboy was a good movie though.

yes, it was. the point is it deviated form the source material, not that it was bad.

i won't expect anything above average from Ubisoft Montreal. They need to do something really impressive and I eat my words.

And I thought Assassin's Creed was an "eh-ok" game.


Of course, I will welcome it as long as Lee O'Malley has anything to do with the direction.

(It's a fairly significant improvement)

He hasn't, but Slurpee says that him and Edgar Wright have been working together in an unofficial capacity.

Ok i will give Sands of Time a nod

Quote from: Tempo;1714759

This one does not help their case.

I read two of them, will definatly watch.

for those of you who don't follow things and stuff

very spoilery!

here's some choice bits for people who just want to get a feel about it:

Quoteit's like some mash-up of elements from Fight Club, Kill Bill, Speed Racer, Natural Born Killers and a Michael Cera movie

...

a John Hughes movie smashed into The Matrix.

...

Edgar Wright really pushes the genre into whole new areas. This has to be the world's first coming of age/romance/superhero/comic book adaptation/musical/comedy/whatever movie. It has some traces of things you've seen before but not blended together in this way.

...

a mixture of Edgar Wright's usual frenetic camerawork with some unbelievably slick transitions

...

Wright did some incredibly unique things to capture the spirit of a comic book

...

I know it doesn't come out until August 17th, but what they have right now (other than some rough audio patches and a lot of unfinished effects) is pretty damn remarkable. Edgar Wright has once again knocked it out of the park. I don't know how commercial this film can be, due to it's subject matter (it's basically for nerds only, my wife liked it, but not nearly as much as I did), but Goddamnit it's awesome.

guess who's still completely stoked about this

You mother fucker


Also, I hate AICN so much!

hey, me too!

You're alright.... y'know that... you're alright
