Look. You need to do something so we can all see the new SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD trailer... Stat!
Hey folks, Harry here... And there's just an incredibly important and vital act that I must ask each of you to take immediate action upon. There is a selfish desire at the base of this request, but it is a selfish thing that I feel many of you will share. The desire to see the new SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD trailer. The Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Facebook Page needs 100,000 fans. Right now there's 86,715 fans. Which means we don't have very many more "fans" that need to sign up. BUT - look. Seriously. We need to see this fucking thing now! SO - YOU need to become a fan of SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD. It is a geek imperative. This Is Important. Do it now!

That's funny.Seriously, yelling "FIRST!" is total n00b bullshit.
-
His enthusiasm is pure fakeness. He loves money though.
-
I'm intrigued but slightly confused (maybe a little drunk). Will they not release the trailer if there aren't enough fans?
-
Chim Chim.
-
LOL. Well, given this is a film and a comic made by people my age, that grew up with the video games that were created for people my age to play. I feel as though I AM THE TARGET AUDIENCE and people like you that can only get maybe 30% of the references in the material - are poser faker fucks. But maybe that's just me. Giggle.
As for me loving money? Not really. That's why my bank account always has so little of it. It goes out nearly as quickly as it comes in. Usually to buy cool stuff that the 13 year old in me wants. -
And fuck Michael Cera. Seriously Harry. Endorsing social networking sites is no longer cool. And even if it was, I hate the idea of this marketing ploy. It stinks of "our movie really isn't that good so we're going to play games to get you interested".
-
that's what they seem to be inferring.
-
...this comic book. So it's Harry for the win on that count.
-
for this sort of sicla-network manipulation at all.
I want to see this movie, honestly, but if I had become a fan on Facebok before this stunt, I'd have undone it at top speed. You want me to link my personal social network to your movie ad page, so I can see a video ad for the movie?
No, fuck you, I don't jump through hoops and shill for movie studios so they can show me an ad. I'll watch your trailer when it debuts, if I'm interested.

Because that would be some funny shit. I don't know what the animation represents, though, other than Harry being seal getting a beat down with an oar.

"our movie really isn't that good..."
Dude. It is made by Edgar Wright - who has never made anything short of brilliant thus far. Where does the cynicism come from? Edgar is easily the most nice people on the planet that happens to make films that speak almost exculsively to folks like us. NOW - if Universal is wanting to use FACEBOOK to drum up a viral army of followers to release a trailer... that isn't Edgar, the other filmmakers, the creator or anyone other than Universal's Online Marketing Team doing the best they can to try and get interest in a property that isn't a mainstream pop-culture success quite yet.
And anyone who has read Scott Pilgrim can attest... it should be. It absolutely should be. And if this movie can raise the profile of SCOTT PILGRIM - to where more people seek out the original material... AWESOME. The first trailer is killer - and EVERYBODY that has seen the movie has referred to it as being brilliant - and the best thing that Edgar has done. These people include Mr Beaks & Moriarty. So I relatively trust them. Well... at least Mr Beaks. That cur, Drew, is sometimes a squirrelly bastard. XOXOXO -
Yes. Seek out 1940's Gene Tierney flicks

I love Bubba Ho-Tep.

I'm not on Facebook. Sorry, I'm not going to be much help. However . . .How impatient are we? It's a trailer for a movie that's going to come out regardless. We'll see it when we see it. Sure, if you're a huge fan of the comic, a/o the trailers/material thus far have you geeked out THAT much, be their "friend." But they'll release it regardless, I'd imagine sooner than later (I mean, why sit on it other than to drum up geek anticipation?). Besides, don't you have enough friends on Facebook that aren't REALLY friends? If my wife's account (and virtually anybody I've talked to who has one) is any indication, I'd bet good money the answer for most of you is yes.-Cheers
-
I should point out, I think Scott Pilgrim looks pretty cool, and I plan on seeing it. So I'm not hating on it, nor Michael Cera, whom I have been a fan of since Arrested Development and steadily from then on. Just not really that crazy about this idea even if I do want the movie to succeed.-Cheers
-
I mean. STAT. Pronto. You are an annoying non-to-bright pain in the ass. Why don't you just shut the fuck up and let smarter people post on this site.

by spyguy
Tell you what, people...How about you just show me your spiffy new trailer or else I may not be convinced to see your fucking movie? I'm in no mood for your little control games.
-
Fuck Harry is such a dumbass that insults write themselves
-
I've been reading the reviews and following the coverage at AICN, so I gather it's popular amongst y'all. I'm also a fan of Edgar Wright, so we're in agreement on that (and it's cool to know he's a nice guy, really - and man, that Prince record scene, I'll love him forever for that). But beyond that I'll spare you a long reply (which I just wrote and deleted). Let me just say that I'm over social networking being forced upon us as something that we all need to blindly be a part of. You CAN still be cool if you don't have a Facebook and/or MySpace page. Really, you can. And I've grown EXTREMELY tired of Michael Cera. I was tired of dude before he got this part. I read vol 1-4 of Scott Pilgrim on the recommendation of these talkbacks (I've been reading and collecting comics for 27 years but had no previous interaction with that one) and I don't even think he's right for the part. Also... maybe a little annoyed by the fact that this 6 year old book is being made into a movie when I believe there is a long list of other comic books that deserve to be adapted to film. Aaanyway... shit. Maybe I am just being cynical. If it gets good word of mouth I'll probably end up seeing it. But if I hear a lot of "Michael Cera is just playing Michael Cera again" I'll have to pass.
-
I got no hate for Michael Cera, and nothing but love for Harry. And Harry, there's nothing wrong with making a bit of money to buy cool stuff. You've earned it, you've built a site that tons of people visit, they visit it for free, nobody has to pay one red cent to read your views, many people come here just to be snarky asshats, yet you're still able to turn a profit. I say more power to you, and good on ya. I am your age, and while I'm not an internet movie mogul, I still do pretty well and regularly dispose silly amounts of money buying plastic crap to satisfy my inner 13 year old and my very real 4 year old. Last week I dropped fifty bucks on a Robotech Zentraedi Battlepod, which my son broke the leg off of inside of two minutes. In that respect and many others, we're kindred spirits.
HOWEVER. Dude, Facebook is a vile succubus that drains the awesome out of society at a frightening rate. On its surface, it seems grand, but it ain't. It ain't cool. Remember when we were in the early 80s, and the future was all about flying cars and living in the Star Trek universe seemed not fantasy, but a viable option? I live in the heart of Silicon Valley and I see the best and brightest of my generation, people who could otherwise be designing those flying cars and starships, instead devoting all their creative energies to developing social networking apps. It's depressing as all hell. Sure, maybe it's neat to reconnect with your 3rd grade crush. But with all the attendant bullshit that goes with it, I just don't understand why Facebook has become the all-consuming TimeSuck of this day and age. I can't visit a webpage without seeing that insidious insipid "F" symbol, or turn on the radio or tv without hearing it inside of two minutes. Even the name "Facebook" is juvenile and lame. The site was started as a way to rank slutty Harvard women, for chrissakes. Turn the damn thing off, close your account, take a stand. Stop the insanity.
If they cut a new trailer, then they should show us the damn trailer already. Stop feeding the Facebook beast. -
...they're succeeding in doing exactly what they set out to do with this stunt. People are talking about it and participating in the process.
-
NetFlix has those both available for streaming. They also have Night and The City and Advise and Consent, but those are a bit older. I've got nothin' to do right now, really, so I'll stream one if somebody gives a recommendation. Otherwise, let me know what I should add to the mail queue.

is that animation "the reincarnation of peter proud"?

... to come out. And Harry: stop pushing Twitter and Facebook shit on this site. It's like asking us to call-into American Idol for you.
-
.....accusing someone else of being a "poser." Get a clue!
-
...because it was directed by Otto Preminger (one of the first directors names I remember actually KNOWING because of his version of The Hobbit). But The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (a film I've wanted to see before) is directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz AND has Rex Harrison in it. I think I'll try TG&MM, first.
I don't think either of these films has anything to do with the animation, though. lol -

HEY, HOW ABOUT I JUST DOWNLOAD THE FUCKING MOVIE YOU ASSHOLES?!?
by tehcreepythinman
I've worshiped at the altar of Wright since seeing his masterpiece SPACED on it's first run back in 1999 while living in Scotland. I creamed when I heard he and Pegg were doing a zombie movie and although I'm not big on Hot Fuzz, I'd still recommend it to everyone because it's a very good movie. But this Facebook shit feels like I'm having a carrot dangled in front of my face like some fucking mule. Fuck you Wright, isn't my money good enough? As I've said on the IMDB page for Scott Pilgrim, this is a niche comic adapted by a Director who, although beloved amongst geeks and nerds such as myself, has no real box office record with a star who was in a CANCELLED cult TV show and one hit movie which came out in 2007. Point being that YOU need US more than WE need YOU and pulling PR stunt shit like this gives me a bad taste like some prison bitch being raped before being forced to suck the same cock covered with his own shit....Where was I? Oh yeah, FUCK YOU. Give me the trailer and MAYBE I'll see put my hard earned money into your fucking pocket so you can avoid having to make a living by Directing episodes of Coronation Street. YOU CUNT!!!
-
frank says fuck all that SONET bullshit! biggest waste of time ever.
-
You don't need to help productions that whore themselves to Facebook. What AICN SHOULD do is hire an editor to fix all of your mistakes!
-
....a chance because I'm a fan of Edgar Wright. I can't stand Michael Cera, but he looks Okay in this particular roll. I think this film will have mainstream appeal because it looks entertaining in a generic sense. I think assholes like Harry should shut the fuck up! This movie is not a homage to him!
-
For future reference, it's "please".

MICHAEL CERA COMES OFF LIKE A WHINEY BITCH ON THE VLOGS.....
by tehcreepythinman
Decided to re-watch all the video blogs that they did during production and, is it just me, or does Cera seem like nothing but a miserable little bitchboy every time he's on camera while everyone else is in good spirits?
-
But Michael Sera sucks. He's another sad excuse of the state of Hollywood today.
And let's be honest. Ed Wright's overrated as fuck. Maybe the comic's better than the previews would make it seem, but I'm not jerking them off on Facebook fuck that. -
....does fucking suck! However, he looks alright in this movie! I could never understand all the love for Superbad! I think Cera and Jonah Hill are awful talents! I wish they would go away FOREVER!
-
Well played. "Miserable Little Bitch Boy" should be his next movie, with him in the title role. Directed by Judd Apatow. Costarring Jay Baruchel as the older brother/video store manager who constantly berates him, Seth Rogen as the school counselor who (unsuccessfully) tries to give him an attitude adjustment, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the chess club president who administers a fierce ass-whuppin' to bitchboy in the movie's rousing climax.I like it. Someone hire a witless hack to write a screenplay, and greenlight this motherfucker.

JaimeFoxx, EDGAR WRIGHT IS NOT OVERRATED!!! HAVE YOU SEEN SPACED
by tehcreepythinman
It's his Citizen Kane. At least the first series is. I'm not all that hot for series two and kinda pretend it doesn't exist. It's just not as perfect as the first. Anyway, he's obviously talented but Scott Pilgrim is a real test to see if he can make out on his own or if he only does great work with Pegg? If Pilgrim is a hit, which I hope it is, then great. But if it bombs he could still get The Worlds End (his next film with Pegg) off the ground given Pegg's recent profile boost with Star Trek. I wonder how long he'll be able to go before the inevitable big budget Hollywood flick that everyone else ends up doing? I'd make him my Number 1 choice for the Spider-man reboot and get Bryan Lee O'Malley to script it. That would be fucking cool!!!

My apologies... It was a lazy comment for me to say about Wright as I haven't seen all of his work.
My Michael Sera hatred has me on some knew jerk reactions when it comes to movies. Him and Jonah Hill. Can't stand that fuck either. -
Oh. It's Michael Cera.
-
Almost forgot... also costarring Richard Jenkins and Allison Janney as bitchboy's exasperated parents, who have "had JUST about enough of your negative nancy bullshit shenanigans, mister!".Seriously... make this one happen.

JaimeFoxx, I HAVE A SEARING HATRED FOR CERA AS WELL AS......
by tehcreepythinman
Jonah Hill and the rest of Apatow's crew. I give Seth Rogen a pass because I LOVE Zack and Miri Make a Porno, sorry but I do. However, Cera is such a beady eyed little fucking creep that I can't stand seeing him in anything. It horrified me that Wright fucked up soo badly by hiring him because rather then this being a movie about SCOTT PILGRIM (a GREAT comic series btw) it's now a fucking MICHAEL CERA film which I look forwatd to watching as much as having honey poured on my cock and balls before having them shoved through the bars of a cage holding starving wolverines. I think the guy playing Young Neil (Johnny Simmons, who was in Jennifer's Body) looks much more like Pilgrim then that cadaverous cretin. Hell, Emile Hirsch would have been my perfect choice even though he's not Canadian but then who fucking cares. I want the right person for the part and that ain't Cera.
-
Edgar Wright for "Spider-Man" reboot is an inspired choice.
-
Well, it's a mixed bag. First, I'd have to claim that the Greater Internet Dickwad Theory applies in these here parts. More than that, however, is a community of anonymous individuals sharing a deep-seated need to see things fail. We LOVE failure and crave it. We love to see expensive things burn, famous people fall, and pretty things made ugly. We share a nihilistic vision which tells us that it's all bullshit. The world is a festering sludge pile, and every last thing that creeps upon it is better off a smoldering ember than something to be cared about. The interwebz are populated, for the most part, by two generations of fuck-offs who are either too childish and sarcastic to be responsible adults or too narcissistic to care for anything or anyone. With that formula, you get a virtual world of shit-covered, gnarled cynicism. The internet is hate. The internet is bile. The internet is ruin. And all these "people" now mind the store. The future does not look good.
-
to see the movie itself before I become a fan, thank you very much.

May 30, 2010 2:01:28 AM CDT
blakindigo, HIRSCH IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLDER THAN CERA!!!FACT!!!
by tehcreepythinman
Cera being 22 and Hirsch being 25 this year. Scott Pilgrim is supposed to be 23 so I think he could squeek by. Since were here (and I'm bored) lets do some fantasy Scott Pilgrim casting. Hirsch should be Pilgrim. Christina Ricci (Hirsch's Speed racer co-star) should be Ramona. Even though I hate her, I'd cast Avril Lavigne as Envy since she's supposed to be hot and a bitch, both qualities that Miss Lavinge have in spades but I'd keep her away from a microphone since her voice causes stars to collapse due to the suckage. Any other suggestions?
-
Now THAT guy knows how to market.
-
You made my day. Great post. It definitely feels like we live in some alternate bizarro timeline where things didn't progress like they should've.If it makes you feel any better, I believe this social networking craze will fade over the current decade. Sure it won't go away completely, but it'll slowly loose its luster, becoming like using a phone or email. Basically it will be another mundane communication tool that everyone will take for granted and use when they actually need it.

by gimpinmypants
And so is Twitter. I'm looking forward to the movie but I'm not going to sign some stupid shit, especially not on some social networking site.
-
Was it a "Sunshine" reference? Otherwise I didn't quite get it.
-
Just watched the trailer on YouTube, and it pretty much typifies everything I hate about movies these days...some uninteresting slut a guy's busting his ass for (who isn't even that good looking, and that colored hair shit doesn't mean "intriguing", it means "desperate for attention"), over-the-top, silly action (because it worked SO WELL in KICK-ASS), and of course, more "quality time" with what could be the lamest, least accomplished, whiniest group of motherfuckers ever, the emo crowd.
Yeah, right...I'm going to give this my money. That kind of shit REALLY needs encouragement. -
Was it emo when I ruptured your mom's asshole?
-
but that would insinuate that you've actually had any sort of intimate relations with a human female.
And don't assholes sort of come ruptured? They are holes, afterall. -
And if you're not a "human female", why were you wearing fishnets and lipstick?!
-
I think it's a composite of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (Harry), "X2: X-Men United" (Yoko), and the very end of the original "Friday The 13th". Either I'm incorrect, or my clairvoyance just hit the mark bigtime.
-
Leave Her to Heaven, a very cool film
-
Please, this is such a lameassed transparent marketing kick - and I love Edgar's movies. This bloody trailer is going to be attached to Universal's "Get Him To The Greek" this coming weekend regardless of how many fans the stupid Facebook page gets. If they don't get the 100k, you get to wait until it's in the theatre on Friday. If they *DO* get the 100k, you get to see it online like a day early...before it's in the theatre on Friday. WHAT A VIRAL SUCCESS, HUH??? Seriously Universal, is that the best you can do?
-
Is decent the rest isn't funny(at all)and i know funny cause I love Shaun of the Dead(and Ghostbusters, the funniest fucking movie of all time). I hate to jump of a fellow Canadian like Cera but he's a one trick pony it's been said before and it will be said until he breaks out of puberty and stops with ackward teenage schtick. Granted this Scott Pillgram movie looks kinda groovey and seems to fit Cera's schtick pretty well
-
Somebody in marketing got a raise by suggesting this jerkoff idea after seeing a clip about Betty White's SNL push on E! or something, It's insulting if a company is telling us do do this for a doggie treat. It's a fun goof if it is truly something that spring up naturally.

WANT SOME GOOD PR UNIVERSAL? LIFT THE REVIEW EMBARGO!!!
by tehcreepythinman
I've been reading about how amazing the movie is and yet no one can say shit because they've been muzzled. If the movie is really that good then you should want to get the word out, so lift the embargo.
-
close to release date. Spoilers? That's understandable, but even so wtf. If anything this particular method just seems like a slighly different way of gauging interest.
-
It's so that so-called-"professional" critics can't get the drop on one another by getting the first "official" review out. This keeps them in line if they want passes to future free screenings and pweasants, right Harry? This also has the effect of keeping a lid on a potential stinker unless the studio is looking to buy favorable reviews which is exactly what happened with G.I. Joe, right Harry?
-
They're like showing up for a blind date with a bag over your head. For that matter, Edgar Wright as a director does not equal beaucoup box office. "Shaun Of The Dead" made $30 million worldwide; "Hot Fuzz" made $80 million worldwide. While I enjoyed both immensely (as I'm sure many who frequent AICN did as well), I'm guessing Universal is NOT counting on the esoteric few to bolster this particular effort. Maybe they already know they have little chance of reaching a wider audience.They're desperate, which is never a good sign.
-
Thank you both very much for the info both Rocco and Creepy.
-
Sucker.

feeling really cynical. hard to belive harry is in it for the money. prob takes the occasional pay check though. good on him if it keeps the site running.

Rocco Curioso, I THINK UNIVERSAL IS BEING CAUTIOUS.....
by tehcreepythinman
I'm guessing that the budget for this will fall between 30 and 40 million, maybe, I don't know? That's quite a chunk of change for a movie based on a cult comic book, with no real stars apart from Cera, who's only been in one hit movie as the lead, which is why they're pushing Chris Evans to the forefront of the marketing due to his involvement with the Fantastic 4 movies. At this point, I'd be willing to bet that they're holding their breath to see if the concept and trailers reach a wide audience. Also, they're releasing this in August which, IMHO, is a bad idea since this should be a movie that comes out during, say, October/November since the kids will be in school and if they like it, they will spread word of mouth. Yeah, social networking sites like Facebook help but it's not the same as hearing from someone about some amazing movie they just saw.
-
It's the talkbacks, not Harry, Quint or Capone's reviews that make this site readable. Sure, Harry loves 'movies' but he HATES Cinema. When do you ever see reviews of all the brilliant films that come out all over the world. The US may have mastered the art-form many decades ago but now Hollywood is complacent and nothing more than a huge publicity machine - to which AICN is now complicit. The real innovations are coming from the continents that are only just developing their own, unique, language of film. That's why Drew left.
-
Think he's funny as hell, looking forward to Scott Pilgrim
-
I have to completely agree with you. The main draw to this site (for me anyway) has been reading the talkbacks. They're always more interesting than the news, and the reviews are downright questionable most of the time.
Props to Harry for hosting the site and all of that, but AICN's main allure is the goofy fuckers in the talkbacks. -
i may never get to go to comic-con or the alamo drafthouse or the new bev or BNAT but i don't need to. all i need is play.com, forbiddenplanet.com and AICN. thank you harry for 12 years of geek heaven and thank you all, you crazy fucks who post here :-)
-
..no fucking way am I going to support a bullshit spamming hype like this, Harry!
If you want your site to be more up with the times, then update the fucker. -
... i 'liked' it and can't wait for the trailer. michael cera may play the same person all the time but i quite like that person.

JaimeFoxx, THE ONLY PEOPLE I TRUST ON AICN ARE THE TALKBACKERS..
by tehcreepythinman
Harry and his minions (Herc, Beaks, Quint, Capone etc...) are owned by the studio's and can't be trusted!!!FACT!!! Some of the people who come here just like causing shit, just as I have bee wont to do so on occasion, but there's nothing like a talkback where there is real disscussion and the free flow of thought. Sure, it's fun to get into flame wars but most of us here want to talk movies, even if it means calling each other cocksuckers every so often. I'll take AICN any day over CHUD which is nothing but a circle jerk of douchebags who do nothing but kiss Devin Faraci's greasy ass while he lords over that place. Seriously, try arguing over something with Faraci and watch him and his dingleberries basically talk down to you before eventally banning you if you don't toe the line and tell him how awesome he is. Call him a stupid cunt and watch how fast you're hit with the banhammer. Anyway, AICN is better off without Drew McWeeny who's attitude would be better suited to CHUD since he's a fucking scumbag like the rest of those asswipes.
-
I was massive fan of Spaced here in the UK - Edgar's work on that was nothing short of genius...Shaun Of The Dead was the perfect transition to big screen....Hot Fuzz was tired, really tired and showed a far too indulgent use of swipe edits and bang bang bang editing techniques to mask a poor and tired story....but Scott Pilgrim looks terrible. I've read the comic books and thought it would make a good movie, but the video game on screen and Kapow! visuals are terrible! That kind of stuff works on TV but not on the big screen. Kick Ass is the film Scott Pilgrim will never be. Edgar...do something exciting again once you take your pay check from this one please

is a one trick pony. the same character in every movie. just like Seth Rogan, and the Mclovin kid. Why do these people still get work?

I do.

I'm excited about the film, of course. But I'm not going to play games just to view their marketing. Just put out the trailer. How hard could it be?

and I had very different reaction to both films. Shaun was really overhyped. there was stuff in that film that really irritated me. I didnt find the movie all that funny. Lots of people find pegg funny. I find him to be annoying twat. I have seen spaced and I have it on dvd. Hot fuzz was great. but the things that irritated me about spaced and shaun were still there. best example would be the scene where shaun comes up with the plan to rescue his mom. Edgar wright has this swift/jerky/repition style of shooting. which I find irritating. another example is the scene in hot fuzz where nick angel gets tooled up.
-
Facebook is teh aWsoMe!!11 I'm gonna Twitter all my MySpace friends so they can Linkedin to help me watch. IM if you wanna chat :-) LOL <3
-
NOBODY else join up. Let's see if they release it or not.
-
...when they give me a free ticket.
-
For shame.
-
NO...fuck you. What ever happened to the cool news here? This is just like some flavour of the month blogger that has great content in the beginning but as time goes by doesn't know what the hell to write any more and starts posting bullshit and links to youtube clips.
-
So I lose out even though I saw hot fuzz and SOTD in the theater?
-
At first I thought there was a new trailer AT Facebook. Then I see there is no trailer and its just a PR stunt. Regardless of signups, new trailer will be out in X days. And Spaced and Shaun were amazing, Fuzz was decent, and Scott looks like a blast.
-
The thing is, this sort of approach really creates more frustration to fans than it does pull them in further. It makes them think, why should I go through the hassle? Even if the movie tanks, the loyal Edgar Wright/Scott Pilgrim fans will likely love the movie and see it more than once. I know I did for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
-
And I loved SotD and liked Hot Fuzz. But... no thanks.
-
By Harry's numbers they need over 13,000 (probably less now). Maybe in the world of Facebook that's not much "more", but to me, 13 thousand of anything is a lot.
-
I love the books and the teaser looked good. I don't care when they do it I'd just really like to see a full trailer.
-
The movie needs "fans" otherwise we don't get a new trailer? I'm a fucking movie geek and even I think this is lame and worthless. Its the same thing with "Paranormal Activity". Like there was any doubt they were NOT going to release that movie nationwide. Give me a break here.
-
Nicely done. You expertly categorized most of the cretins on these boards in one fell swoop. Of course, most of them reading will think "that's not me". Um, yes he's talking about you.
-
Saw the overly annoying trailer with the 1 trick pony actor. Wright has done better and now Ive lost respect for him. Fuck this.
-
He did brilliant movies up until this. I wont support this.
-
is coming from losers who have no friends. Stop being jealous?
-
Just to see a trailer! Hellz to the naw!
-
...but at least there wasn't a Facebook demand put on people to get it. In fact, I think I'll go watch it again. At least it's got metal!
-
I don't normally get involved when I see bile spewing on talkbacks, but some of the hateful ugly things some of you guys are saying is the reason some people hate the internet. Form an opinion,yes. Don't be downright mean. I don't remember anyone bitching buying a full price ticket for a shit film to watch the Phantom Menace trailer. Don't join the group. Fine. But don't try and take some kind of moral highground fanboys.

Am I Alone In Thinking The First Trailer Looks Like A Bad Movie?
by crow3711
It doesn't look like shit visually, or stylistically, or anything like that. It just looks like a bad FILM to me. I love Edgar Wright as much as the next nerd...but that trailer looks like it can't possibly have a tone that makes both the heartfelt sentimental comedy stuff between Cera and the girl make sense within the context of him constantly having video game-esque battles with her "evil ex boyfriends" Am I alone in thinking it looks seriously retarded? I anticipate being wrong, because the buzz is so great from people who have seen it, and Edgar is the man and everything...but that first trailer really made me think twice. It looks fucking stupid to me. Its set in both a realistic world, and some fucking cheesey video game world where people get "K.O-ed" and do backflips in slow motion, and michael cera gets thrown 300 feet in the air into a castle buttress and survives. What. The. Fuck? I just can't picture it making any fucking sense in my brain.
-
Just to prove how fucking stupid this whole thing is, when they release the trailer anyway. Does anyone out there honestly think "If we don't get 100k, they are going to let this trailer that they spend money editing and creating never see the light of day"? If so....kill yourself. You understand nothing.
-
Sean Combs should go to that site.
-
Brilliant? Perhaps... But not as goood as Shaun, coming from someone who saw a screening. As someone who really loved the movie, youre setting the bar WAY too high so that all these fanboys are gonna hate it and I you always do this shit which ends up being detrimental for the film
-
Are you blind? most people on here are saying the movie looks bad so clearly your not alone.
-
to have a post directing us to become a fan of a movie to drum up lame-ass support in order to get them to show us a movie trailer. They're going to show the movie trailer no matter what, so I don't need to be told to be a lemming and become a fan of a movie I don't even know about in order to see the trailer. That's lame marketing and it's kind of lame to post this as a "geek imperative" on your site. It's your site Harry, but this is kind of a lame post. I don't jump through hoops to see a trailer--the people who make the movie should be jumping through hoops to get me to see their movie.
-
Getting thrown 300ft and surviving? Thats why it's a movie and not a documentry on Canadian Band Culture. Damn you must have hated looney tunes.
-
People are thrown 300 feet and survive? In fact, I think in the first 20 minutes of EVIL DEAD 2, Ash is picked up, thrown about 300 feet or so, then hits a tree, falls the height of a two story building and into a puddle. He should be dead.
-
Canadian story .. I am a canuck .. book were very good .. Want to see the movie even if it is Cera
-
Hate Michael Cera. Seems to be the consensus. Hate is too strong, though, but I will say I have a strong dislike for Cera. Strong enough that I've got little interest in SPVTW, even with Wright doing it and I LOVE his work thus far. Yes Hot Fuzz was the weakest, but still highly enjoyable every now and then. Shaun and Spaced I own and are easily multi-watch products. That said (shoutout to Harry), Cera was interesting to me in Arrested Development, and I even enjoyed Superbad. That's where it ends. Because after that, I realized that his "mopey but loveable loser" is the only character he can seem to play. And it's fucking old, like Will Ferrell and his tired "clueless manchild" routine. If Cera doesn't break out of that character soon, his quest for obscurity will be complete. Seriously, it may be the best movie Wright has ever done (although this site has a history of hyping shitty movies - Pineapple Express and GI Joe to name a few), but by casting Cera in it, he has ensured I WILL NOT spend theater prices to see it. May check it out on video, but I can wait.
-
...seriously.
-
I refuse to use Facebook, but I'm not going to whine about it and blame the filmmakers for what the marketing department does. Whiny bitches. Why won't I use Facebook? Because I'm not 13 or a grandpa. And I like to know what my personal information is being used for and find it disturbing that it takes nearly an act of congress to delete your account. That's not to say that I won't let a site use my information, I just want them to be up-front and honest about it. There's always an exchange. I get it. Just be clear.AND I have zero interest in re-connecting with old school friends. Last time I did that I wound up depressed for about a week because they'd all fallen apart on so many levels. Stopped.. given up.. stopped being interesting.. got fat.. divorced.. all before 30. Many of the males living in studio apartments paying child support to multiple children. And when I say many, I mean MOST of the ones who did settle down and get married. It's like a national sport now. Pick a male, profess your undying love and commitment until you have his baby and discard him while sucking him dry. Fucking depressing. Why would I want to be reminded of that every day while these ruined people "poke" me to let me know when they're planning to finally put the gun in their mouths? I'd be better off going back to livejournal to read bad poetry and fanfic featuring characters from Buffy fucking characters from Supernatural every day. At least they only write poetry about overdosing on sleeping pills.
-
Seriously, I thought Herc was the only twat on this site willing to promote Facebook/Twitter with his "I need more friends" giveaways. But that was understandable because about 60-70% of what he covers is his lame obsessions like SNL and Buffy/Whedon. For Facebook to start migrating to other areas of AICN may very well be the final nail in AICN's "relevance" coffin. To quote Susan Powter (and show my age), "STOP THE INSANITY!"
-
I don't want to sound like a troll, but FUCK YOU YOU SPAMMING FUCK! FUCK YOU UP YOUR SPAMBOT ASS! That is all.
-
Let me second that. I'm not sure why that fucker doesn't get auto-banned just for mentioning the name of his site/company already.
-
...Waterboy wasn't a shit film; it was all right. Everybody had a good time watching it, and it was better than Phantom Menace anyway...
-
I'd add/follow "like" or whatever this films needs to get more butts in the seats opening weekend. The film and the filmmaker deserves the attention, promotion and support. Pull your heads out of your asses. This isn't a re-make (although it is an adaptation of sorts)and it's about something original. It doesn't have any MEGA stars in it, and let's be honest with ourselves. People know who Cera is, but he's not a mega-star. This type of film needs all the support it can get, even if it's from a site most of us hate. The truth remains, Facebook has the world's largest user-base. It makes sense to use it from a promotional standpoint. Derive comfort from the fact that nothing lasts forever. Not even Facebook. Look at MySpace a few years back. No-one could have predicted it would fall as hard and as fast as it finally did. Facebook and it's autistic, abusive relationship with it's users will get what's coming to it. In the meantime, get used to it and if you don't like it, don't use it.
-
that Universal will not release the trailer based on a number of Facebook friends. The trailer will get here when it gets here. Stop feeding into gay marketing gimmicks. There's good, fun marketing, and then there's just hype. By the way, Edgar Wright is funny but overrated. Stop jerking off to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. They're not the second coming of comedy.
-
Twitter is innocuous. At it's best it's shared links and information. At it's worst, it's just kind of goofy. Facebook will screw you over at every opportunity for 11 cents. Except they do it to billions of people and make billions of dollars doing it. The consistently mix the public with the private without properly notifying users. (So glad I skipped school today... 10 minutes later.. Hi mom.. ummm yeah that was supposed to be just for friends)("yo.. what up! Yeah, man.. my wife was a real bitch today when you came over.. sorry" followed a day later with divorce papers)You couldn't do that crap with Twitter without being a USDA certified tripe for brains. On Facebook, lately it seems like it happens every week or so. People who have been using computers and Internet since before there was even a world wide web are confused by Facebook settings. It's set up to repel people who wish to customize it. It's so hard to actually delete a Facebook page there are online tutorials to help people do it. AND when people on Facebook link to said tutorials, the posts and sometimes the accounts get deleted. So if you want to delete your Facebook quickly, one of the fastest ways appears to be to attempt to help others do it on Facebook. I wonder why.
-
What is wrong with this website? How has it attracted a readerbase that just HATES movies?
I don't understand how anyone could possibly think Edgar Wright is overrated, or that this looks like a bad movie. I'm not trying to be funny here, I really don't understand it.
The man is a genius, and I am really frightened of what your standards of commedy are if you think he's "overrated." -

No kidding. He's not the second coming or anything, but overrated he's NOT. Many of these people get more entertainment value from shit-talking than films anyway. So take it with a grain of salt. It's just the way talkback works.
-
Edgar Wright is not overrated. He's a talented, clever lad. It's just where you get to a point where you expect your audience jump through hoops to get A TRAILER THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE RELEASED WIDE ANYWAY that people become understandably impatient.
Oh yeah, and while I'm on a rant, somebody tell Michael Bay that girl looks like she's 12. Creepy. -
Where were all the 'geeks' when Kick Ass was in theaters for a week or two ?!!? Fuck Scott Pilgrim !
-
Is as bad as Facebook. Both expect me to give two shits about the mundane occurrences in others daily lives. Does the internet have to invade our personal space as well? Seriously, unless I'm a celebrity and it's the life I chose, why the fuck would I want to broadcast my life as it happens? And why would I want to read the same thing about others? Isn't that what face-to-face conversation is for? Honestly, I'm just tired of technology trying it's damndest to take away basic human interaction, be it talking to someone through twatter, not being able to reach anything other than skynet when I call ANY customer service hotline, or using redbox or netflix rather than dealing with a real person at Blockbuster. It just seems, as a society, that we're moving away from interacting with others more and more every year. Maybe I'm just too old, but I LIKE seeing and talking to people in person. (then again, I'm making this complaint on an IMB - no irony there!).
-
For the most part, I agree with you. The exception comes when someone misspells or uses incorrect grammar because they think it makes them cool, like "teh". That shit is retarded and deserves to be called out for the lame attention grab it is.
-
I'm sorry but I just could not possibly give a shit less about this movie.
-
I have no interest in this movie at all.

What happened to releasing trailers the old fashioned way?
by bruce of all trades
Viral marketing this, solve that, find the clue, collect the objects, reach the location... and now become a fan on Facebook?
Good thing I don't care about this movie either way, or else I'd probably be annoyed that I have to wait for a trailer because of something as silly as this... -
I hate this kind of marketing. Fuck it. Fuck them. Don't become a fan. Don't do it. Don't do it just so we don't have to endure more of these stupid marketing tricks where they are basically telling us "Please! Beg for us to show you this new movie! Beg for it to come to your area! Beg for the trailer!" Bullshit. Its getting a wide release. The trailer will be released. This movie is in no danger whatsoever. I love Edgar Wright and his work, and I realize this isn't his idea, but still- FUCK IT (we'll do it live).
-
we're talking about TWO CLICKS of the mouse, kids. one, above, to get to the page, and one to "Like" the facebook page. if you don't want to do it, fine. but don't pretend you're fucking Gandhi, protesting oppression. give me a fucking break...
-
Dude, THANK YOU for voicing exactly what I was thinking. There are a lot of things going on right now around the world that people have a legitimate reason to get upset about, this, however, is not one of them.
-
Thats AICN talkbacks. No wonder these boards get bad reputations.
-
Not sure if you're referring to me or not, but in my case, its not phony indignation. Sure, its simple- two clicks, boom you're a fan. But I really don't like this trend of "send in your emails! Become a fan! Only then will we show you the movie or trailer!" that started with Paranormal Activity. If you (not you specifically, the royal "you") really think your click, your vote, your email makes a difference, if you really think Paranormal Activity wouldn't get released or that the new Scott Pilgrim trailer won't get released if it doesn't get enough "fans", you are deluding yourselves.
-
Fair enough. I think the movie it played with in the cinema I used to work(in the UK) was Brokedown Palace. That WAS shit.
-
Jeez, this is just a goofy, kinda fun marketing stunt that reminds me of the kind of stuff they used to do in the '70's when I was a kid. "Better hurry and act now, kids, before it's too late!" If that seriously offends you, you need to get a grip.

Yeah, I'm down to see what would happen if it doesn't reach 100k
by themarinebiologist
I'm not joining up... if they are relying on us to release something, let's just see how long they are able to play that game.
-
Fuck you.
-
I'm not joining your goddamn facebook group because you know as well as i do YOU HAVE TO RELEASE A TRAILER FOR YOUR MOVIE REGARDLESS. So stop trying to fuck with us and just do your jobs, you Hollywood execucunts.
-
You post just confirmed you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Twitter is. Just because some really annoying people use it to tell people who don't care that they just had a "sammich..lol" doesn't mean that's what it's for or even what it's meant for. I use it to keep up with links to things I'm interested in and fast updates related to products and services I use. And to exchange those links with people I know. Lots of people use to celebrity watch/stalk and tweet about meaningless crap that no-one wants to hear about. But that's not what it's for and it's not what people with a brain use it for. You post was the equivalent to refusing to read a newspaper because homeless people use them to wipe their filthy asses."Seriously, unless I'm a celebrity and it's the life I chose, why the fuck would I want to broadcast my life as it happens? And why would I want to read the same thing about others?"Then don't Tweet like that and don't follow people who do!! Or don't use it at all. But don't pretend that's the only way you can use it when you probably already know it's not the only way to use it. Jesus fucking christ, I swear you people can be so fucking dense sometimes. You seem smart. Show it. Do you refuse to use e-mail too because some people spam? Just use it right.
-
And if I used Facebook, I'd do it in an instant. Hell, I might create a fake one just to do it.
-
I need a new keyboard. "You post"? YOUR. And to be clear.. I don't want an edit function. People just abuse it, going back to change what they've said to make other people look stupid.
-
without getting into some sort of war back and forth, I understand it has other uses, I just don't like the premise of it. As I stated previously, if I want to know about what's going on in the lives of the people I know, I'll ask them, as I much prefer a conversation with someone than some sort of net update. As for following celebs, we are constantly inundated with the day to day crap that occurs in their lives without Twitter. And as for keeping up with the things I like and then linking that stuff to others, well, I'm going to just quote the late, great Mr. Bill Hicks on that one, "If you're in marketing...KILL YOURSELF." (please note that's not a reference to you personally, I just fucking hate feeling like I'm being marketed to, and Facebook and Twitter are prime marketing tools. I don't use them for the same reason I don't watch TV programs until I've DVR'd them - so I can avoid the advertising).If twitter makes you happy, more power to you. But personally, I can't stand it and what it represents, and I REALLY can't stand these "be a friend of our movie or celeb on Facebook and Twitter" BS that has been forced upon our society like a herpetic canker. And I don't read the newspaper, chiefly because the London Times, NY Times, and Houston Chronicle, as well as CNN and MSNBC are all online. I only buy the paper on Saturday's and Sundays for the crossword.
-
I'm gonna sit here just fine, not sign up for Facebook, and not sign up to be a movie trailer's friend. If it didn't reach 100,000 fans, that would be amazing.
-
You use a blog to link in tweets that point out fucking facebook pages.
-
I got upset with that Batsale fuck up above. fucking marketing.
-
Wait! I got a Twitter! Wait! I got a facebook msg! Wait, I gotta blog. Nobody cares this much about your bullshit, people.
-
Sorry for coming off so harshly. I'm just so used to people bashing technologies that they don't know how to use because they think the mainstream, common idiotic uses are the only ones. And I love the NYT crossword.
-
But I use it to follow people I know will post links to things other than Facebook crap. News, updates to software/services, notifications of new episodes of Podcasts I listen to so I don't have to rely on bloated crap like iTunes and all the really aweful RSS readers out there. Twitter is just more efficient for me.
-
that he just took a poop and it was "really lumpy lols", that person as it relates to me will be speaking to a void. Because I DON'T FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE. It's really not a hard concept, people.
-
Gene Tierney in "Leave Her To Heaven". I thought the animation was an obscure reference to "The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud" from the 70's. In that one, the woman kills him with an oar. In LHTH, Tierney simply keeps the boat out of reach as the boy swims, and waits and watches him drown. It's a wonderfully sinister scene and the only real classic moment from a so-so movie. Put the title into YouTube and you'll probably find it. Just the look on Teirney's face as she follows the boy out on the lake. Still, no oar involved.
-
Twitter has helped to feed this incessant need in our culture to appear dumber than we are. I used to think rap music, as much as I used to love it, would be responsible for that, with purposeful misspellings and adding the letter "Z" to fucking everything. But the internet and especially Twitter, of late, feed into this LOL-ROFL-LULZ-LMFAO-BRB-teh-meh-OMFG abbreviated nonsensical mania. When idiots have even begun to use this netspeak in their everyday language, that's very, very depressing. And I don't blame Twitter for all of it, or even for inventing it, but most assuredly I blame Twitter for perpetuating it. Maybe it's because I grew up wanting to master the English language the way George Carlin did, but I can't stand that I see society okay with lowering our standards, thus lowering our class. I mean, we actually allowed the fucking word bling-bling an official entry into the Oxford-English Dictionary. Fucking pathetic. (and yes I realize I veered off into a tangent/rant from which there is no return.)
-
It's cool, man. There's just a few subjects that bug the shit out of me: censorship in ANY form, the decline and (somewhat) denouncement of intelligence in America, and people who say Sarah Palin is a sound political voice.
-
try implying: use a dictionary
-
Agreed on all counts. Oh the censorship bugs the hell out of me. Especially this new tolerance thing where people talk about how it's "not censorship" if they own the means to access. It IS still censorship, period. Just because they have a right to do what they want doesn't mean they get to re-define the word. They're pretending that it's only censorship if the government does it. BS! We should still shame anyone who practices censorship, private OR government. The best way to shame these people is to never use their services. Services like Facebook. So far, companies like Google and Twitter have always been up front about expectations and are generally hands-off when it comes to user content. But MySpace, Facebook, Apple and many others have proven time and again that they think of us as children who need to be protected from ourselves. And they treat people being offended by what others say in public, not directed at them personally, as a crime equal to harassment or stalking. Lowest common denominator stuff. They don't realize that when you make an effort to make a small group of people comfortable at the expense of speech, who most likely could use some discomfort in their empty little heads, instead of making the community safer and happier they just make EVERYONE uncomfortable and afraid to speak up. ok done. I share your peeve.
-
and why was NITP callin' him out?
-
Sex takes a nosedive at the box office.
-
It's been great today to see a talk that had actual back and forth conversation and ideas. Oh were there more of this on talkbacks. Good stuff from gotilk and AKA_Gern_Blanston.
And yes, Sex, Shrek, and Prince are all tanking at the box office which gives me hope that there is a chance Hollywood will get the message and churn out less sequel and videogame crap. Something to dream about happening along with our flying cars and Facebook-free future. -
is now live! check it out. thanks!
-
The concept of having to beg for a TRAILER is a little much, o Universal marketing shills. Maybe, just maybe, if it were a new Tron trailer. I didn't mind the Paranormal Activity push, at least that was for actually showing support for getting the movie itself, not just the advertising.
-
Watching 2 hours of infrared footage was a bit much.
-
I suggest we create a Facebook/Twitter page called DON'T RELEASE THE TRAILER FOR SCOTT PILGRIM. If we can get 100,000 people who think this world would be better off without more FWIP K.O FWIP FWIP trailers like SCOTT PILGRIM full of CGI and no human actors doing anything that doesn't involve CGI, will the peole who make SCOTT PILGRIM agree NOT to release the trailer and, subsequently, NOT to release the movie? Cuz if we can stop movies like SCOTT PILGRIM ever being made again, I bet that 100,000 people can be made to join. There are still 100,000 people over 30 who don't live in the basement and suck on mommies tit, right? Let's get to work people!
-
Not deactivate, delete, remove, completely off Facebook's servers and the face of the Earth:

Remove any spaces if any. -
...of my nieces and nephews...I'm not signing up for a movie, that's for goddamned sure.
-
I've been looking for that link for ages, I just can't seem to get rid of my account....I HATE Face Book, and it seems weird that a site like this frequented by geek's would want to pimp such bollocks...I don't want a million fake friends who I either don't know (or wish I had never met in real life) so we can all be joined in a huge 1984 styled mutual masturbatory fakegasm.... What ever happened to geek's and nerd's being proud of their social outcast status anyways? LOL.....
-
im thinkin of deletin all my fav shows/movies/music just so i wont see pointless posts
-
...but they gotta pay.
-
I joined that group.
Then immediately deleted it after being deluged with tons of annoying, pointless posts.
I thought it was momentarily ironic. Not interested in this. Now, if it was a uber exclusive TRON trailer with Olivia Wilde getting nasty. Maybe. -
They're wild in the sack.
-
which roll is the hole
-
no fat chicks! (especially with 4 kids)
-
Skip the facebook scam. Trailer is up at http://www.scottpilgrimthemovie.com/
-
I think that's just the old teaser still on there. They haven't put up the new trailer yet, most likely because they still need 5,000 "likes."
-
is that still on?
-
Let's see what happens. See who blinks first.
-
will not play the Facebook game. Facebook should be deleted by any self-respecting geek.
-
I have nothing else to add.
-
I used to become a fan of things on Facebook, but they replaced the "become a fan" button with that lame "like" button. I refuse to use the damned thing. I realize this is probably just my mental illness talking, but that like button is where I draw the line. Screw Facebook. The trailer will get her when it gets here.
-
do you realize you can get 100,000 fans on facebook of any old random shit? 1,000,000 would be impressive, but hey hat won't happen because most people don't know what the hell this movie is even about.
Here's a novel idea.. instead of 100K fans on facebook, how about you release the trailer. Wow!
-
all you whiny people are too busy or too special to click your mouse twice to see a trailer for a movie by a director we all love...but you have plenty of time and fortitude to write a 6 paragraph diatribe about why this is the biggest affront to morality everywhere since Rosa Parks getting arrested?calm down, people. this movie appeals to all sorts of people, it doesn't have to cater its marketing to angry, bitter talkbackers (and thank god for that). a tiny gimmick to get kids to spread the word to their facebook friends in order to get word of mouth going before the trailer is released, is that REALLY so offensive to you? are you THAT desperate to appear cool that you have to act like this is a huge deal? because it's really not.of COURSE they were going to release the trailer anyway, of COURSE it doesn't really matter. but if you can click a mouse, and support a film that you all (most of you, anyway) excited about, why not do it? out of some pretentious, ridiculous outrage? and if you really don't care to, THEN DON'T. are you that desperate to hear your own voice that you have to come here and pontificate on how egregious this is?the fact that someone actually suggested making a facebook "hate page" because they were so incensed at this tiny little after dinner mint of a marketing ploy is beyond pathetic.AICN talkbacks used to be a place for people to love, dissect, argue and analyze movies. now it's just a garbage heap where obnoxious 19 year olds crap phony indignation all over everything, complain ad nauseam about the site (and Harry) and loudly decree that anything AND EVERYTHING is just too uncool for words.well, you know what? go start your own site and fuck off. whineabouteverything.com is probably still available. leave the rest of us here in peace.

I love Spaced and Shaun and thought Fuzz was okay, but nothing about this movie looks even remotely interesting. And that Facebook shit is just....obnoxious.
-
I saw the original trailer and it wasn't interesting. I sure as hell am not going to have my name associated with it on Facebook. and to all the people bitching: I cruised these boards for years, it seems like the same crew, no better, no worse. The reason people bitch about movies here is because most new movies suck (yes, it is possible to love movies but hate new movies..think about it...), and we are allowed to bitch about them here in full language. Plus every once in a while a good movie discussion gets going. its like a huge battle where every once in a while two or three people clear some space and go at it. So quit bitching. I read certain boards to learn shit but I read AICN to argue, cuss, vent, and make fun of crap thats coming out. So although I am almost 30 and love nerd stuff and comedies, I am still not clicking this goddamn link because the movie looks semi stupid.

You can only "like" it

It's better than most of you fucks think. Get over your Cera hate and just enjoy life.

Really. Never addressed something Harry wrote before, but this lamest shilling I have seen here. Even if the movie is brilliant, this jump through hoops to see a commercial bullshit fucking sucks. MuleFuck everyone involved with it.

Cross platform advertising. I have to do something so I can see something so I can pay for it later. Fuck off. Show it to me because you want me to see it. Fin.

Gave you ever tried to explain comedy? Just watch it. Give it a shot or two. It's very funny.

I had this car once, and when it'd get hot it'd just make this noise over and over and over..Whiiiine...whiiiine...whiiiine.I finally had to sell it to this guy that wanted to scrap it. Too bad that doesn't work with other stuff.

gotilk, the comments led me to believe there was more to it
by countryboy
When something is called "CITIZEN KANE" and "genius", that imples a certain jaw-dropping awesomeness. Not that there's anything wrong with just being really funny -- but I had the impression SPACED was much more than that.
-
Please tell me that topic didn't end with the word "hysterectomy".
-
No, that perhaps is a stretch. In my opinion it's just a really funny show. I would apply the word genius to it as a complete work. It can be so hard to compare comedies and people's tastes are all over the place when it comes to comedy. So one man's "Citizen Kane" is another's "Porky's 2".
-
I remember people were quoting it here once for some reason, and the jokes were pretty good."I fell asleep on the train and woke up in Sheffield.""The train doesn't go to Sheffield.""Oh, then I must've changed at King's Cross."
-
do not deserve to unite with the elite and respected (by comparison) "emo kid" community. And if you think this film's target audience is emo kids and Nickleback fans... really.. stop listening to 90s rock nostalgia stations, rip those Pearl Jam and Nirvana CDs to your iPod and check out the culture around you. Yep, it moved on. And it likes the brilliant, hilarious Scott Pilgrim comic. Sorry it wasn't a remake of something that made you feel alive again for a minute or two, back when the girls were too young to notice and the genes hadn't kicked in enough to make the hair fall out and the waist expand.. as much.

Some in a bar saying " do you remember this bit for this cool film " and "hey, remember that bit from this cool thing" over and over again. It WAS quite funny in places but basically just giving nods to things that people already like

Hipster youngin's, damn you. Why'd you have to ruin movies I like!!
-
my confidentiality agreement won't let me tell you it sucked.
-
But then you were disappointed? Just trying to gauge where your basic feelings for the movie stemmed from.
-
Not the least bit interested in the film. I will see it on cable in 3 years and enjoy it I'm sure of that. But Im 34 years old and loath this hipster-teen-cynical-apple loving-geek chic-everyman-teen character hollywood has come up with. THAT SAID, All the hate in this talkback is due to hollywood made a genre picture targeting 13-19 years olds and not the normal demographic. Oh well, get use to it my middle aged nerds, time are a changing. Guys wear scuba jeans now and aspire to look like Wynona Ryder. This crapfest looks like someone chewed up Mystery Men and shit it out their pee hole. The younger generation is the inpsiration for Genre pics now as well it should be. Just stay off my fuckin lawn while I watch Stargate.

THAT'S THE OLD TRAILER, THE NEW ONE ISN'T UP YET.....
by tehcreepythinman

2nd favorite book, behind Catch-22. Movie had issues, but still okay. Good lead performances.
-
Having a pretty good Memorial Day kickoff bash, the mood is right, plenty of people here. Like Dr. Dre's Keep Their Heads Ringin says ".....The Party's going on..." But I don't forget and am taking a small amount of time to repeat what I told you before for this obvious whoring of a post you've shared with us sucka duck. Fuck you.
-
Fuck you.
-
All I have to say is I thought a kid was wearing a westsuit bottom for about 45 minutes until I realized they were jeans (I was near the beach). Also, I hate ironic moustaches. I can tell when people wear them because it makes them look like a badass, and I can tell when people wear them for attention or because it looks funny/awkward. Usually the badass people aren't wearing tight clothing or stripes or something ridiculous, and have a job. And aren't underweight/pasty.

"Hipster"...yeah, that was the word I was looking for...
by burnhollywood
This movie and its comic are a paean to those irritating, unaccomplished, faux-world-weary turds.
Not important, because this thing has bomb written all over it...guys can't stand rom-coms, chicks can't stand action, so nobody's happy and nobody's laying out the money for tickets. Seriously, doesn't this thing have 2nd, maybe 3rd place opening weekend status written all over it? -
As other people have already said, the trailer on the Scott Pilgrim website is just the teaser, which has been out for months.
-
Because his is the second time I see this Old not cool news
-
YOU'RE a teaser...
-
and they're reporting Peter Jackson will be busy with other future projects. Motherfuck MGM. I hope this means that either Cuaron or Peter Weir step in. Sam Raimi can eat shit. Also Scott Pilgrim looks pretty lame. I'm only watching because of the amazing director.

TheWaqman, THE SCOTT PILGRIM BOOKS ARE FANTASTIC!!!FACT!!!
by tehcreepythinman
You owe it to yourself to read them at least once. I don't make recommendations lightly.
-
I can see why it gets huge amounts of love, but the cutesy nerdy characters don't do much for me. It's very self-aware of it's references and likeability too.
-
it's also a big reason why I don't really like 500 Days of Summer and/Zooey Deschanel in general.
-
May 31, 2010 3:11:25 AM CDT
TheWaqman, I UNDERSTANHD, I DON'T LIKE HIPSTER'S EITHER AND.....
by tehcreepythinman
That's the type of vibe I got from the reviews and ANYTHING Devin Faraci slobbers over is immediately suspect (pre-teen Emma Watson!). But since they were being made into a movie by Wright, and I FUCKING ADORE SPACED series one, I had to give them a shot and what won me over wasn't the references or hipster douchebag characters but the underlying emotional weight that the story develops and those little, identifiable moments of humanity that came through the jokes and game references. It's the kind of comic that Kevin Smith, at his best, should have written and why I've said in the past that a true adaptation of SP could have been like a cross between Kung Fu Hustle and Clerks 2.
-

BadMrWonka, ZOOEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAST AS LOIS LANE IN SUPERMAN
by tehcreepythinman
How the Hell did Singer end up casting that scrawny stick insect Kate Bosworth?!? I think it's because Kevin Spacey Directed her in Beyond the Sea and Spacey was no doubt whispering her name in Singers ear while ass fucking him during Pre-production. If you were casting young then Zooey would have been perfect, however, Carla Gugino would be my second choice if you were casting the part older.

No new trailer yet!

If you don't "get" Scott Pilgrim, that's fine - this movie won't be for you - no biggie.
But if you love Pilgrim...damn...this looks right. I can't wait. I've watched this thing 6 times already. -
May 31, 2010 4:17:44 AM CDT
just watched the trailer and my nipples explode with delight...
by duncan irons
i still think that scott is miscast though.
-
I feel pretty meh about this one. I will give them credit for being different. But I kind of get the feel that is movie was manufactured for hipsters. Of course I think the comic sort of has that feel as well, though I did enjoy it. I also thought the first trailer was better, and that didn't thrill me. I'm not quit sure if Cera is right for the part either.
-
It looks like my worst fears about SP have came true. Maybe the trailer is overplaying the action but it looks like nothing more then a fucking cartoon. I know it was never going to be The Seventh Seal but that fucking trailer tells you almost NOTHING about the story apart from the fact that Pilgrim has to fight seven people for some chick. I'm hoping that I'm wrong and this will end up like Speed Racer or Land of the Lost, two movies that had shitty trailers but turned out to be pretty fucking good movies. But until the first reviews come in this will not be an opening night trip to the movies for me.
-
May 31, 2010 4:26:13 AM CDT
Um, you think Speed Racer and Land of the Lost were good?
by sifodyasjr.
And the Scott Pilgrim trailer is bad? Do you live in bizarro world?
-
...though the trailer looks like it is advertising a film almost entirely based around arcade-game fighting with various caricatures, I am sure, knowing nothing about ScottPilgrim, but having plenty of faith in its director, that this will have a lot more to it than the trailer suggests.And though a trailer, a good trailer, should only ever tease, I have to say that this one can only be aimed at fans who know it won't be as bad as this and pre-13 boys and girls who care less for crazy concepts such as characterisatio, themes and narrative and more about the 'vibe'.

Scott Pilgrim trailer Looks lame. As others have pointed out... theree is clearly no tension or suspense in any of the action sequences, which really to me, don't seem to be choreographed that well either... So some would say "but it's supposed to be tounge and cheek!". And the problem with that is that it didn't even manage to make me "chuckle". The attempt at "humor" here doesn't do ANYTHING for me... Terrible concept. Never read the comics, and this trailer doesn't make me want to go run out and read them, nor does it make me want to see the movie. Hell, at least the amazing trailer for the thoroughly dissapointing "Watchmen" made me want to do both of those things... (probably had more to do with the awesome song selection in the watchmen trailer more than anything else ;-) Kick-Ass The comparisons to Kick-Ass are very deserved. I had the same reaction to that trailer: UNIMPRESSED. But the "Geek culture" here, along with the incredible reviews, really made me think that i was missing something in the trailer... so i decided to see it. BAD MOVE. I actually had a headache by the end of the movie. And yes, i do sometimes get movie-induced headaches lol... I think the previous "bad movie-induced" headache i suffered was during The Punisher (Thomas Jane version). GOD i hate the movie... Anyway, I fear the same thing for Scott Pilgrim as i did with Kick-Ass. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Speed Racer The comparisons to Speed Racer are, hopefully unjust. Now i have to admit that i had the same reaction to the initial Speed Racer trailer, that i had with this one. Thought it looked terribly silly. HOWEVER, that movie FAR exceeded my expectations. I don't even really know what made me drag myself to the theatre to see it, but i was glad that i did. Probably the most misunderstood/underrated film since Alien Fucking 3 lol. (But that's a whole other talkback... ;-) And for the record, i have defended Speed Racer and Alien 3, as far back as possible. So i'm not one of those recent "converts"... In other words, i loved and defended both films before it was "cool" or "hip" to do so... lol The chicks in the Scott Pilgrim trailer God, it might just be me... but does anyone HONESTLY think that ANY of the females in this trailer are even remotely "attractive"?!? I didn't think my standards were THAT high... lol. And i know my "hot, young actresses" too lol: Mila Kunis, Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Lucas, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansen, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Kelli Garner, Kristin Kreuk, Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, Diora Baird, etc... Some "older" ones to further clarify my taste: Jennifer Connelly, Monica Bellucci, Halle Berry, Paz Vega, Asia Argento, Penelope Cruz, Christina Hendricks, Julie Bowen, etc... But this fascination, this LOVE for "Mary Elizabeth Windstead" on this site is BAFFLING. She's plainer than Kirsten Frickin' Dunst! Sorry guys... didn't see a SINGLE chick in that trailer that would make me look twice lol Prodigy tracks used in trailers And FINALLY, what the FUCK happened to the PRODIGY?!? Man, the great Liam Howlett has pulled a "George Lucas", in terms of music... lol Why on FUCKIN EARTH, are they playing the vapid shit from their last album in EVERY FUCKING TRAILER these days?? If I hear "Stand Up" in a trailer one more goddamn time, i'm gonna CHOKE A BABY! I don't want to hear fucking "Invaders Must Die"... or fuckin "Omen". NO! The next time my ass is sitting in a theatre, and a new action trailer debuts... i want to hear some "Their Law" fuckin' people's eardrums. How 'bout some "Jericho" (going REAL old-school now ;-), "Out of Space", or the sweet-ass "Break and Enter"? THAT is the shit i'm talkin' about. I was the biggest Prodigy fan, that is, before Liam lost his mind... or sold out, or whatever. "Experience" and "Music for the Jilted Generation" are 2 of my favorite albums, and without a doubt, 2 of the best "Techno" or "Rave" albums of all time. Took that shit to a whole new level. "Fat of the Land", while the most "popular", was kinda wank really... Especially when compared to the previous 2 albums. And the last 2 have been UTTER SHITE. Well, except for "Spitfire". That track was pretty fuckin sick ;-)

Looking forward to it, but a rather shameless favour to the studio, eh, Harry? Never mind, I'm sure they paid you a bunch.
