So, I preordered the Scott Pilgrim movie..

[Pegghead]

That's great but if you're such a fan of the comics why didn't you see the film in cinemas.

Personally I never read the comic, but I saw the film with some mates (two of whom had read all the comics about a week beforehand) and I loved it.

That means it's probably gonna get a DVD release soon yes? The silver lining to doing poorly in theaters

I didn't read the comics (yet mayhaps) but I thought the movie was awesome. Let's hope you will as well.

North American release is November 9th.. so this coming Tuesday.

I'll be getting it Day 1 as well, though I haven't pre-ordered it (I just don't see the demand being that high and I'm not aware of any sort of pre-order goodies like a lot of games have these days).

Because the nearest movie theater is an hour and a half away and I don't have a car. I also didn't have anyone to take me.

 

[Neonic-Ink]

OP, I bow down to your instantly better DVD collection than mine.

Heh, I don't even own a lot of movies. XD

 

[Neonic-Ink]

Also, I am preordering it because it's an hour and a half away from any movie stores, or any GOOD stores that would sell it.

 

[Mcupobob]

Bully for you, I might watch it if it pops on Netflix instant queue.

 

[tthor]

I read all the comics at least twice...

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!

I've heard nothing but good things about it, but who would with such a great cast and such a great director.

I read there are of course some difference on film from the comic, but that's to be expected.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT THOUGH!

*braces self*

me and my girlfriend went to see that movie together, and it was awesome. and my girlfriend is completely videogame illiterate(didn't even know what pong is), and even she loved it.
its gotta be the best movie i've seen in ages

 

[tthor]

I'm sorry, but I fucking despise Scott Pilgrim. It's, in no way at all, funny. It just makes me angry. I'll probably be called out for this, but I didn't even bother with the movie because I can't stand for Michael Cera. Ever since I saw Year One I can't stand to see his face.

Did you see Scott Pilgrim? I'm just curious because I too generally hate Micheal Cera. Scott Pilgrim was the first movie I could tolerate him in (mainly because he actually moved fast >_>).

I think you should read my post again.

to say you despise the movie without even seeing it is like a child complaining that a food is disgusting, even tho he's never tried it before and refuses to try it now. its just very childish.

Great movie and an even better comic. It'll be the first movie I've bought in years....

When my friends saw the movie they got a bit confused with all the strange people so here's most if the people from comic books 1-3 for anyone who cares:

 

[Lizmichi]

....Whatever...

Discussion value?

I want to hear other peoples' opinion on the movie.
Seems like everyone else got that.

That's because everyone else actually saw it.

I haven't seen it and I've asked for the opinion of others. The OP has given a good reason as to why they haven't seen the movie so back handed comments aren't really fitting here.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

You should like it. It was quite a good movie. Though, me, I'm waiting for Inception, and the A-Team

 

[The Rockerfly]

I smell some trololololling.

If you aren't trolling, what the hell are you talking about? One, your opinion on bass is stupid and wrong. Two, it was a thirty second Guitar Hero joke/parody/thing. I think someone forgot to take their meds this morning.

*Someone has a different opinion than me, must be trolling*

If it was a guitar hero battle why wasn't it on a guitar?
Prove me wrong about the bass guitars. You know why guitar solos are so popular? Because they sound fucking awesome, they have enough distinction from the rest of the instruments to sound good and they aren't needed for chordal depth. Bass instruments only sound if you have them play really really loud and everyone else much quieter because their sound is not meant to be that penetrating
That's why people want to be guitarist, guitar hero sold so well and most band have a guitar solo.
I won't go too much into the music theory behind it because I doubt you'd understand plus you've already been rude enough to me.
Before you say troll as well

And because guitars are more prominent in the band then NO BASS SOLOS EVER BECAUSE GUITARS ARE MORE DISTINCTIVE AND PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THEM MORE SO THE BASS MATTLE IS STUPID BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON GUITAR.

THIS CRAP COS IT'S NOT ON GUITAR!

HE SHOULD BE PLAYING GUITAR INSTEAD!

the ..wenona? (girl with collored hair and malet), main female character XD
girl, i remember to be HOT XD
also, the movie rocked XD i mean, powerups! and people exploding into ?2.40 XD

I'm still on the fence on this movie and the comic.

I'm an avid comics reader but this smells too much like fanfiction gone wild to me. The idea that a book like this sells and a movie like this was made is more interesting to me than the actual book or movie itself.

If it was a guitar hero battle why wasn't it on a guitar?
Prove me wrong about the bass guitars.

I've been reading this exchange between the two of you with rapt fascination and utter wonder.

Everybody is always interested in guitar solos so they decided to change it up and do bass guitar instead. That's it. Beginning and end of story.

It has nothing to do with musical theory or any kinds of whys and wherefores. There's no intelligent debate to be had here. The author of the book probably plays bass guitar and wanted to put them in the limelight for a change.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I didnt see the movie, but yeah, ill probably buy it

 

[Queen Michael]

I watched it yesterday with a bunch of geeks in the local geek club. We all loved it. I had read three of the graphic novels before.

 

[ohgodalex]

You won't be disappointed. It's a great movie, stupid but entertaining stupid.

It's an extremely clever comedy. You're weird and wrong.
