Scott Pilgrim can eat a DICK...harsh.
15 years ago
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THE GLASS JAW!
I don't know about anybody else, but I have no desire to see Scott Pilgrim versus the world. The big number one reason is that I can't stand Michael Cera and his 25-year-old creamy dreamy awkward teen roles, it's most likely not his fault since these are probably the only high paying work he is offered but aside from arrested development I simply can't stand him.
On top of that it's a teen romance story which never have any substance to me, my first teen romance started with my first French kiss and then lead to my first blow job behind the dumpster. (she swallowed it!) And the next day I broke up with her and told her to leave me alone or I will end her because she was UUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly and I was Shhhhhhhhhhhaaaallow and a ass hole jerk and 13. Why don't they ever make a teen romance like that and don't bring up Kids because that movie told the truth so hard it hurt which is why it was great! And the fact that it's supposed to be a comic book action movie as well doesn't peak my interest because the action scenes look pretty laughably abysmal. Pretty much categorizing itself as Photoshop action, absolutely not my cup of tea.
On the other hand I am excited for the tie in arcade game that looks like it's going to pay homage to the greatest brawler ever, River city Ransom. I'll save my $10 for that.
Just wanted to get back into nonsensical journal writing, back to work.

Fuck Michael Cera and his jerk-face type-cast pussy-nerd roles! He shames true mom's-basement-dwelling nerds everywhere!
And puh-lease.. trying to pursue a girl but having to deal with drama from SEVEN ex boyfriends? Dump the bitch and go after a girl that isn't full of emo and drama, and that actually /looks/ good. Nerds (unlike the ones Michael Cera tries to popularize) can do so much better than that.
High five.
By the way, awesome to hear from you again Glenn. How's things? :)
*shrugs* I'm half and half on it. I may go see it with friends. For now, I've got to go see the "Other guys"
When I first heard he was doing it I was like 'fuck yessss'. Of course I dunno if I'll end up getting the game anyway so. :V
i ended up loving the hell out of it, mostly because all of my suppositions turned out wrong. michael cera plays a kid who's reasonably confident despite having no self-awareness at all. he's gawky, but never apologetic or annoying. the romantic plot takes place between people in their early twenties and it's never sugary sweet-- the movie goes out of its way, especially at the end, to avoid a love-conquers-all type resolution.
the action is more matrix than anything really. i was astonished to watch a ton of serious kung-fu footwork even without special effects. there's solid kicks and punches, just like river city ransom. as a fan of old school kick punch cinema i was totally taken aback there too.
but the craziest thing, the thing i wasn't prepared for at all, was how earnestly the director loves his subject. the movie never cloys and is never ironic. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is a straight up loving tribute to beat-um-ups and loserdom. it's fun and funny, it's absurd, but the world the director constructs still somehow makes good videogame sense. somehow the whole thing stays consistent and tight despite its two-hour run.
sorry i typed a lot but i just hope you won't miss out on thing. even if you don't like it (you will, it owns owns owns) you won't like it for totally different reasons than the ones you listed because the movie is nothing like that.
