[scifinoir2] Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. the box office
I'd like to amend my list to add Winter's Bone as tied with Scott Pilgrim for third(or second depending on how you group it) favorite. Awesome film. But I'm still in lesbians with Scott Pilgrim. I made the Clash At Demonhead my ringtone and I've been jamming out to Sex Bob-omb. I can't wait for the blu-ray. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, B Smith daikaij...@... wrote: I'd say that this is my third favorite movie of the summer.

[scifinoir2] Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. the box office
Finally got to see it and I loved it. It's a great mash up of a comic book, videogame and romance genres. The pacing is a little rushed but they cover a lot material. Unfortunately a couple of characters(Kim and Envy) get shorted but that couldn't be helped. It can be a little daunting for the uninitiated but if you let yourself get caught up in it's magic it's quite the ride. Cera was a bit unlikeable at times but comic book Scott has same issues. The supporting cast was dead solid perfect. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was a good choice and gets some good acting in as Ramona. Ellen Wong was perfect as the lovelorn Knives Chau. Kieran Caulkin nearly steals the movie as Wallace Wells. I can see why it left some folks cold because it's a very niche film but a very good one.
