SYNOPSIS : Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for totally average garage band Sex Bob-Omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams…literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.
Sorry I've been neglecting this poor little blog. Once I got back from my geek tour I jumped right into Monster-Mania preparations (see next article for the skinny), which hasn't left me much time to dork around over here. To bribe your forgiveness, here are some new 15 second reviews...
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: I fucking love this movie and beyond saying "It's damn funny" I can't exactly explain WHY its damn funny. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so that's not it at all. SP is visually captivating and randomly hysterical in all the right ways..and having an awesome soundtrack doesn't hurt either. Whatever it is, there's brilliance to be found. I can tell I'll be watching this movie for years to come and still laughing at "I have to pee on her".
The Expendables: If you were to turn of the vocal tracks for JUST the actors, this movie would be way more awesome per second. The writing for this movie is so horrible in counterpoint to some killer action scenes and better still, dream fights pitting legendary action stars against each other, shot in such a way that you can actually SEE THE FIGHT IN ALL ITS GLORY!! That alone, is an accomplishment. Sure, the jokes are enough to make Fozzy Bear want to stab himself in the head, but the the BOOM makes up for it.
Vampires Suck: Yes, its' a spoof movie, but this one follows the Twilight stories so closely, we left the theater with the distinct notion that they'd tricked us into seeing another Twilight movie. I'm sure you weren't expecting brilliance from the comedy, but these guys are so topical you'll need an 13 yr old to translate for you and the rest is just lame. The funniest bits come from the film's Bella and Edward who recreate every facial tick, lip chew, screaming fit, far off "smelt something bad" look and overly dramatic face grab. If that's all you need, go for it.
Piranha 3D: This could be the biggest budget SyFy channel monster movie we'll ever see. The pacing is identical to those "original" films but since you are in a theater and your age has been checked, you'll get heaping doses of boobs and buckets of GORE!! More importantly, the film is shot very well, the 3D works to great effect, the characters are funny enough to keep you engaged (even if you don't care if they get chewed up) and the SFX are pretty damn impressive. An excellent Saturday night!
Ahhhh love. It makes us retarded..and dumb..and often clumsy to the point of causing oneself pain...but its worth it! No, really, its worth it. Now we get a special montage with Scott Pilgrim, because after all, the movie is about love...isn't it? Moviefone brings us this exclusive clip...
Watch the 'Scott Pilgrim' 'Love' Remix
Wow..it's so ethereal its almost creepy.

Get ready for 2D retro video game AWESOME!! Just like the now infamous comic and by default, the already legendary movie from Edgar Wright, UBISOFT presents a game that will tickle the side scrolling receptors of your pancreas and effectively blow your freaking mind. This is a 4 person brawler allowing you and your droogies to become Scott, Ramona, Kim Pine and Stephen Stills who fight to defeat the super charged x's coming to reclaim Ramona for their own dastardly purposes. The creators hint that there may be more unlockable characters if there is enough demand for them. Unfortunately, gameplay will not include online co-op. This downloadable Playstation Network exclusive drops this August, but we are told X-Box will have their day down the line.
People have seen it and granted, they are not the most trustworthy of sources so far, but things are looking mighty sweet! Last night's MTV Movie Awards included a clip from the upcoming video game nerd friendly love story...
And then Mezco got into the game, announcing their 8 inch plush line! Mezco’s 8” plush figures capture the wide-eyed enthusiasm and quirky nature of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers.

Available at finer retailers in July 2010, or pre-order at: Http://www.mezcotoyz.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=856 The Mez will also be releasing 4 inch clip on plushies of "Power Up" Scott and Ramona looking awesomely emo.

NOTE: The crowd pic at the concert seemed to have some Green/Red Technology going on and I tried it with the glasses and it MIGHT be a little 3D...or I just need to eat something.
I have a sudden urge to watch Josie and the Pussycats, which I am unashamed to say is my favorite fictional band movie of all time. For more Pilgrim madness, READ THE COMICS NOW and visit http://www.scottpilgrimthemovie.com.
