Well that's what he said. And looking back, I can now see moments where he's referred to like that.no oneder said:
And it's directed by Edgar Wright, the director of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. And is a homage to retro gaming and nerd culture in general.Eggsnham said:
Woopty Doo indeed.
Am I the only one on the planet who doesn't have a burning hatred for Michael Cera? It may just be because the only other things I've ever seen him in are Arrested Development and Juno, but I just never understood the flak he gets. Plus, I think he grasped Scott Pilgrim pretty well.
In any case, both movies seemed interesting to me, but being a fan of Scott Pilgrim pre-movie as well as Edgar Wright, I obviously saw SPvTW first, and I enjoyed it a lot. I heard Expendables was dumb but I may see it for sake of novelty anyway.

I saw both and I enjoyed The Expendables more then I did Scott Pilgrim, it was still a good movie, just not as good. So if I had to pick only one to see it would be the movie with the auto-shotgun that makes shit explode!
I don't hate him, I just don't like him in a lot of things. However, I thought he was PERFECT in Scott Pilgrim.HonorableChairman said:
The movie itself was awesome, and this is coming from someone who's only seen it and the trailers, never read the comics. I may be part of a niche audience, but I loved the movie.
Because the terrible acting of Michael Cera was over shadowed by his acting superiors Arnold Swarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
Saw both. "The Expendables" is a better film. I hate to say it, but it's true.
That said, I'm not a fan, in any way shape or form, of O'Malley's comic, finsing almost all of it too insanely "hipster" and hep for its own good, and hating all the chracters with a passion, that said, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" is a good movie. It has all of the comedic appeal that Wright is familiar with along with a wonderful cast and great sense of ignoring most of the things I hate about the comic (namely everything) in an attempt to tell a proper love-story with a clever use of metaphorical boss-fights and ridiculous situations to make it a stand-out comedy and excellent film.
"The Expendables" is, damned near, the perfect action movie, finally giving film-geeks like me something that we can really get behind in the form of a mash-up of some of the greatest action-stars of all time making a movie that is driven solely to showcase them in all their splendor as we see these men do what they do best in the format that best suits them all, made by one of the most talented action-directors of all time. It's a beutiful swan-song that, much like "SPVTW" will not be TRULY understood by anyone outside of its core-demographic (the people that didn't need to look up ANY of the actors featured, more or less), but both are great movies, in the purist sense.
Edgar Wright needs to get back to finishing the fucking "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy, though.
