Scott Pilgrimage Complete!


So a friend of mine declared it fanservice month. So yeah.

Man, I'm bad at keeping up with this... anyway... on to the blogging

Okay so I totally saw the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. Honestly, Edgar Wright knocked that thing out of the goddamn park. It sucks that no one saw the movie. Here's hoping it follows the Edgar Wright Pattern and gets the DVD sales it needs.

I really respect Universal for taking on this kind of obscene risk, because as good a film as it is, it's still like, triple niche. It's a Hipster, Video-game Nerd, Kung Fu, Romantic Comedy starring Micheal Sera with bright colors and comic-book effects. Honestly mass market appeal wasn't really on the table.

Anyway, I just re-read all of the books again, as well as the Free Comic Book Day bonus comic... and also Lost at Sea just to be thorough. Bryan Lee O'Malley is a goddamn genius.
