Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

I am disappointed in everyone. Scott Pilgrim made less money this weekend than Inception. Inception's been out for, what, a month? That, and three other movies that apparently aren't that great beat it. For shame, audience.

Well, The Expendables and Eat, Pray, Love came out during the weekend as well.
The Expendables I can understand, it's a pretty good action movie from what I hear.
Eat, Pray, Love is just a bunch of feminist bollocks really.

Scott Pilgrim is a nerdy indie movie that, while I hate to say it at the risk of sounding pretentious, a lot of people can't appreciate, unless they understand the pop culture surrounding it.

Just saw the movie.

It kicked ass. More ass than Kick-Ass, I might say.

Oh and it was hilarious.

*Waits for angry Jay*

Well now let me re-phrase that.

Kick-Ass was more violent. Scott Pilgrim was more awesome.

THERE.

I think you underestimate the awesomeness of Kick Ass.

Then again that film had a loooot of hype around it by the time it came out, Scott Pilgrim though? Barely seen it mentioned at all anywhere.

Wha? I've seen the opposite of that.

I've kind of seen the opposite of that too. A lot more advertisements for Scott Pilgrim, though a lot less hype among real people for it.

MONARCH YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE A COW ANYMORE

I FOUND/BOUGHT VOL 2 + 3. COULD HAVE BOUGHT THE REST BUT DID NOT HAVE FUNDS.

YOU CAN RETURN THE COW, IT'S ALRIGHT NOW.

I WILL HAVE A COW UNTIL YOU FINISH THE DAMN SERIES.

I bought all six books, read 'em, then watched the movie.

The books were awesome. I agree with Gitaroo though, the ending was a bit weird. As for the movie... on its own, its great. But next to the series it was pretty meh. I prefer Kick-Ass.

Fun fact: The behind the knee weakness is common in a lot of girls.

I've become quite the SP fanboy over the course of this summer.

Somebody told me I'd like these and loaned me five of the books. I didn't actually like these though, and spent most of my time scrutinizing how Scott kills people and nobody bats an eye about it.

And not an issue I had with the series but hilarious nonetheless.
