"Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World is Fan Service: The Movie, an insular, punishingly alienating experience preaching only to the faithful, devoted hearts of arrested 12-year-old boys. It’s singularly fixated on video games and shallow visions of women as one-dimensional objects to be either obtained or discarded and offers no possible point of entry to anybody over the age of 30." Isn't the subjectivity amazing? Makes me want to kill people.
it looked amazing and i loved all the videogame references, plus there was a really good movie underneath all that as well.
Scott Pilgrim was gud. The trailer isn't a very good representation of the movie. I thought the trailer made it look like another Speed Racer, but it was actually funny, clever, and very unique. I'd recommend going to see it, because it's got a bunch of cool techniques used and is unlike any movie I've ever seen.
I'll give you the unique part. Speed Racer just seemed a little too full of itself. It was aware that is was a wacky movie, so they went all-out with no direction, even throwing in some random ninjas at one point. I liked Scott Pilgrim's craziness because it was all centered around Videogames and comic books, which made it seem to have a more stylized theme than just randomness. Although, in all honesty I didn't pay as close attention to Speed as I did Pilgrim due to two older gentlemen having one of the most disturbing/awkward/hilarious conversations in front of me during Speed Racer.
Yeah, I mean that part with the curly haired kid and the monkey eating candy? That was a metaphor for the human condition.
