The Scott Pilgrim Rally Cry!
Monday August 16th 2010, 12:32 amI played hooky a bit tonight from work to go see Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I’m a big fan of the book, and O’Malley in general. So I really wanted to see this. Now that I have, I’m shocked that this movie is not selling through the roof!! This deserves to be a mega hit. Its fucking genius! Period! The book is genius too, and I was super impressed with how well it translated to film. The people who made this movie clearly loved the source and gave us something that matched the essence of the book. I’ve not seen anything like it. A truly unique film experience. Vivid and funny. I caught myself just purely smiling through almost the entire thing. It just feels good.
So this is my rally cry! Everyone to go see this movie! If you love the book, go see this movie. If you’ve seen the movie and love it, but not read the book, go buy it. Right now! If you done neither, go do both. Go. Right Now! Quit reading this!! And GO RIGHT NOW!!!!
