Jay Leno's iPhone App Rates SCOTT PILGRIM VERSUS THE WORLD!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Merrick here...
Jay Leno's iPhone App sent in some thoughts on SCOTT PILGRIM VERSUS THE WORLD. MODERATE SPOILERS lie ahead, but nothing too ruining I should think. In short, he/she really liked the film, very much. "This is the best movie I've seen in 2010 (only slightly better than Inception and Toy Story 3)" were his/her exact words. Would you like to know more? Read on...
Just wanted to share my thoughts about Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which was screened yesterday here in Los Angeles at the Arclight.
I'm pretty sure this movie is finished, all the credits were done, front and back, the effects were top notch (except when they deliberately weren't supposed to be, like Gideon's pixelated sword), and the score was amazing (courtesy of Beck and his/Radiohead's producer Nigel Godrich). I'm not gonna go too far into spoiler territory, because this movie had so many great gags and moments that just have to be experienced in a theater with no pretense.
First, let's get this out of the way. I've never read the Scott Pilgrim comic book series
. I am completely unfamiliar with that story until now so I have no idea how faithful/unfaithful Edgar Wright is to his source material. For all I know he's changed things so drastically that fans of the comic are going to seek him out and beat him down mercilessly (I doubt that he has changed much honestly). But whatever he's done here, it was all worth it.
This is the best movie I've seen in 2010 (only slightly better than Inception and Toy Story 3). It hooks you right from the very beginning with the Universal logo thru the opening credits and literally does not let go until the very end. The basic story is obvious to anyone who's seen a trailer. Scott falls for a girl named Ramona Flowers, and discovers that in order to be with her, he must defeat her 7 evil exes in battle, video game style. That's the basic, basic premise. The story also concerns Scott's somewhat troubled past with girls, particularly his relationship with a high school girl named Knives and a singer named Envy. His band, Sex Bob-omb (who is terrible by Scott's estimation), is set to perform at a Battle Of The Bands when Scott literally meets Ramona in a dream.
Once he sees her in real life, he is convinced that this girl is the one. The way the two meet and get to know each other is believable and never seems forced. Then comes the fighting the exes part. It turns out Scott Pilgrim has some serious skills that he may not have even realized himself. Each "fight" is an escalation of the previous setpiece. Without going into detail, let's just say there are creative ways that Scott chooses to defeat some of the exes that don't always involve him actually fighting someone. I was always sold on the idea of this kid battling these people, similar to the way you would buy a kid fighting people in a video game. That is simply the world you're inhabiting, and you accept it because its a fun world to accept.
The visuals are mind-melting during these sequences (and, for that matter, throughout the movie). But the movie wouldn't be nearly as great as it is were it not for that trademark Edgar Wright humor that drives the movie. A lot of my friends complain that action movies, and maybe summer movies in general are too serious and up their own ass these days. They feel like the Fun has been missing at the movies in a big way. This movie is here to bring that back in a big way. It engages all your synapses, strokes the geek nerve and tickles the funny bone. Every two seconds something happens that reinforces the big, goofy smile you have on your face and makes sure it stays there for the duration of the movie. A line of dialog here, a music cue there. This is pop art perfectly constructed. Edgar Wright has REALLY stepped his game up on this movie (and I'm a big fan of his first 2 films).
Now, let's discuss Michael Cera, because obviously there is somewhat of a backlash against him and that "character" he plays in every movie. In this one, he is clearly still himself. He's not a master of dialects and disguise. He's always going to look like himself and sound like himself. You can't change that. You can't tell someone to change their face because you don't like it (well, you could, but that would just be mean). But there is a difference in this character that shines through, if you're willing to allow it. A confidence and strength that had previously been missing from his other characters. This isn't the same awkward kid who wears vests and can't talk to girls right. This kid has balls and heart and rocks out in a band. You glimpsed that confidence in the evil alter ego role he played in Youth In Revolt, though that confidence was filtered through a sociopathic lens. In this film, his personality is relatable, likable and downright charming. I know there are those of you out there who simply refuse to accept Michael Cera anymore, unless he looked and sounded completely different (What do you expect him to do? Put on 50 pounds of muscle and start talking in the Dark Knight voice?). I say to you, don't be unreasonable. People in this world have the capability to surprise us and show us new layers of themselves that we've never seen (for better or worse). Michael Cera just might surprise you in this movie. And even if he doesn't, there are so many other great performers in this one that you could have a great time just focusing on Brandon Routh, Chris Evans, Kieran Culkin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anna Kendrick, Jason Schwartzman and Ellen Wong. And of course, Edgar Wright.
At the end of the day, this movie works because of the man behind the camera. And HOLY SHIT does this movie work.

Why would anyone care what Jay Leno thinks about a movie?
-
Maybe I'm too old for it being in my late 20's?
-
*Bails*
-
um...okay...
-
Using Jay Leno as part of his/her username is an obvious tip as Jay Leno & Universal Pictures all fall under the NBC Universal umbrella! HA!
Just kidding...flick is probably as good as he/she says it is. -
The books were a lot of fun, the trailers looked like the captured the spirit completely, and Edgar Wright rocks! Can't wait to see this
-
This looks poo, but to be fair I don't think it's aimed at me.
-
Better than Inception?? Seriously?
-
I want to believe.
-
Planty-plant-plant.
-
He can only act like himself.
-
Now you all look fucking stupid don't you. Fucking retards!!!!!!!! BETTER THAN INCEPTION AND TOY STORY 3!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!!!
-
Everyone will go and see this movie. You'll see.
-
Seriously I'm enjoying how stupid you all look right now. Victory tastes so sweet. Unlucky losers.
-
Once again, Merrick gives us produce instead of reviews.
-
Kids are too sophisticated for this childish rubbish.

BETTER THAN INCEPTION AND TOY STORY 3!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!
by scottpilgrimfan
This movie is going to be huge! Suck my dick haterz, seriously.
-
Somehow I doubt it.
-
Inception's been out for barely a week and already we're comparing it to other movies.
-
If you're indicative of the audience for this movie, I am definitely sitting this one out. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Fuck you. This is going to be the biggest movie of the year. It's going to break records. Avatar can go suck one.
-
SCOTT PILGRIM WILL OWN 2010. YOU'LL ALL GO AND SEE IT AND LOVE IT SO STOP HATING AND LEARN SOME RESPECT!!!
-
People need to stop saying that because it's bullshit. Haters are just jealous of Michael Cera basically. Fucking losers.
-
I couldn't of said it better myself.
-
Actually I don't think he is a Plant. I just wanted to say it to piss someone off, Anyone, Anywhere! :o)
-
Scott Pilgrim better than Inception and Toy Story 3?? What next - Scott Pilgrim better than Citizen Kane and the collected works of William Shakespeare? Fucking embarrassing. Scott Pilgrim is juvenile trash, a one note affair,and I'd wager that this obnoxious shilling will put off even those who had a marginal interest in seeing it. This makes me truly embarrassed to be a fan of pop culture and 'geeky' things.Goddamit, I hope this thing bombs like a motherfucker!
-
At the very least, this review will get the few Inception haters to admit that it seems ridiculous to believe the Scott Pilgrim movie is better than Inception. Personally, I've read the first five Scott Pilgrim books and enjoyed them immensely. The series definitely doesn't have the gritty/edginess of most of the graphic novels that have recently inspired movies (ex. The Dark Knight Returns/The Killing Joke, Watchmen, The Ultimates, Kick-Ass, etc.). Before reading the series, like a lot of people currently think who haven't read the series, I believed that the "20-something guy has to fight evil ex-boyfriends" aspect of the plot is what it's mostly about. That's not really the case. The fights are actually a small part of the story. Frankly, the fighting is kind of ignored until it absolutely needs to happen. The books have a clever way of downplaying what the reader would expect to be the most significant elements of the story, especially in a plot-hungry culture that expects big, violent action sequences every so often. And so, the story effectively avoids being predictable and is mostly about the relationships that Scott has with his friends, acquaintances, and obviously Ramona. Interestingly, the series also avoids common cliches of stories about young-ish people's relationships. I like that there are parts when a character learns something about another character, and you prepare for a big dramatic confrontation or tons of dialogue about it, and then it's quickly addressed in a very realistic, not-overly dramatic way. Lastly, my favorite thing about the series is that it has a surprising amount of heart. The graphic novels are crammed with great character interactions, dialogue, and clever plotting, yet hopefully the movie doesn't focus too much on the fights and the series' clever visuals, which are fine but not really what makes the series so well-liked.
-
Just curious, really.
-
I just started reading the comics and have HUGE expectations for this movie. This review definitely makes me think it's going to be the best movie of 2010 even if it doesn't win any Oscars. Count me in for 1st in line opening night, in Edgar Wright we trust!
-
Who uses the word "haterz" except a PR guy who thinks he knows how to talk on the "Internets?" Well, maybe just a douche.
-
I feel like this is one big joke. There is no way in hell that anyone could be looking forward to this. There's no WAY that this movie could be any good. There is just NO FRAKKIN' WAY!!! It looks like a huge turd.
-
JAY LENOS IPHONE APP RATED SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD!
a comedian hack half the people on this site hate, rated a movie most of the people on this site don't want to see, on his iphone app possibly through a ghost writer? Cancel all posts, push this right through! -
falso! better than Toy Story 3 and Inception? laying it on a bit thick arent we?
Scottpilgrimfan: yes, an over stylized love story that plays off 80's video game refrences, stars Michael Cera as a teen rocker but still a little shy and confused, and involves him having to deal with relationship problems in a dramatic but non serious way is not aimed at emo kids and girls. -
Great fucking talkback.
-
Does not represent the fan-base. I'm a fan of the comics, and I don't act like a 15 year old who only briefly read the cliff-notes of Shakespeare before the big test.
That being said, I really can't wait to see it, but I expect on different levels than I did with Inception and Toy Story 3. It might be better, but damn it has a lot of hard work to do it. I expect it's aimed towards a more younger crowd (I'm 20, so I guess it's OK), but give it a chance. What I've seen is AMAZING, visually. And the dialogue flows so well. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed. -
....and am so glad it is not.
-
...but I'm sure throughout the movie I will get pissy wondering why girls like the ones in Scott Pilgrim didn't seem to exist until after I was out of college and high school--or if they did, they had a fucking mustache...
-
... Not!
-
SCOTT PILGRIM GAY-GASM!!!!
"OMG... Oh. My. God"
"After minute 1 I twittered to christy - this is better than TOY STORY 3."
"After minute 2 I twittered to the Bradster - this is better than INCEPTION."
"After minute 3 I twittered to ALL my facebook followers. THIS IS BETTER THAN MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! I know they're not a movie but y'know... OMG!"
SCOTT PILGRIM GAY-GASM! -
Just gives off that plant-y vibe to me. A little too eager to dole out the praise, a little too eager to proclaim it best thing ever. I'll still check it out eventually.
-
...this fuckin' Scott Pilgrim movie! I am NOT one of those people who usually complains about hype OR predicts box office doom for movies. However, I am DONE with the hype on this movie and I predict it's going to fail miserably.
-
Message ends.
-
why is everyone getting so excited over a lesbian movie?
-
no more of Michael *The Mumbler* Cera
It the immortal words of the bard
*I've had all I can stands, I can't stands no more* -
IT'S SO FUCKING COOL. If you're not cool then you won't like it. It's that simple.
-
I saw the trailer for this sandwiched between Step It Up 3D and Resident Evil Afterlife and yanno what? All three looked like shit...
-
This will be the biggest film of 2010! The action scenes will make your fucking dick explode! Get a fucking clue retards!!!!!!
-
I can't do it all by myself! Come on motherfuckers!
-
I'm never wrong.
-
Is fucking HILARIOUS.
-
It's happening a lot more now in film and game communities.He's a shill paid to come to message boards and facilitate a 'buzz' around this film, posing as an enthusiastic fan. The idea is to get the message out in the community and make it look like the community itself is coming up with the message. He's pretty terrible at it, though. I mean, thoughz.
-
it's definitely a fake coming from the movie studio trying to hype it up. don't care till i see some reviews on rt
-
This film is a juggernaut. It will destroy the competition. Don't be a retard loser all your life. Go and see it!!!!!!!
-
It's the Speed Racer of this year, honestly. Wright basically did what the W's did with an anime, except with a manga-style book.
-
"t hooks you right from the very beginning with the Universal logo thru the opening credits and literally does not let go until the very end."No sane human being would ever willingly write this sentence.This much relentless praise, written as clearly as this was, simply doesn't exist in non-profit reality.
-
Please, help me understand these new-fangled concepts.
-
does Michael Cera keep on getting work? Really, I need to know, because it throws my universe all out of wack.
-
Jealous much?
-
Youngish moviegoing women like him a lot. That, and i bet he has a good agent. It ain't brain science.
-
Only engage trolls, never someone who calls you out.It's making me lose a bit of confidence in this movie. I actually want to see it less now.
-
thank you for giving a name to a phenomenon that has bugged me for years. i think i first noticed it on AICN's Lost boards in like 2005.... 'astroturfing,' i like it. (the term, not the phenomenon)
-
I think in about 5 years we'll all be tired of cell phones, and we'll be back to using cheap shit.
-
Which translates to, nerd girls getting wet at the mere thought of him.
-
Fuck off. What? You want a discussion? I'm just a fan of awesome event movies that the whole world will be talking about. Do you want me to draw you a diagram? You're desperate for attention, is that it? Screw off you fucking loser. You're fucking pointless and you know it.
-
Name your favorite movies. What are they?
-
Aicn is astroturfing...like right now for some reason they're astroturfin TF3 despite everyone here (minus the cool kids who can enjoy a big robot action movie) hating the hell outta TF2...spf is probably just an obsessive fan (like everyone else here minus the nike shoes salesman)
-
You'll look like a uncool loser if you don't go and see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Trust me on that.
-
76% with real critics for a reason. Now, better than Toy Story 3? We'll see... It's certainly not impossible.

"I'm just a fan of awesome event movies that the whole world will be talking about."
Yup. Straight up astroturf. And astroturf is a mighty poor substitute for a good PLANT. -
Sorry! Look, I love Edgar Wright. I watched Spaced on its first run, and constantly on DVD since. It's utterly marvellous. A beautiful thing. Every last frame. So tailor-made for our kind that it's truly nothing short of perfect. Every single thing. So for that, he, Pegg, Frost and all the others get a free pass from me forever. Shaun Of The Dead? Wonderful. Hot Fuzz... not so much, but still fantastic. But all I can say is - watch the trailers for this movie in a cinema packed with the poor cattle who've never seen a frame of Spaced, who don't understand it, whose brains aren't wired for it. And I'm sorry, but they number far more than we do. It's not their fault. And let's be honest, Wright-Pegg-Frost stuff plainly ISN'T for everyone. This played before Get Him To The Greek, and the reactions from the majority of the audience ranged from "utter shit", to "what the fuck was that?!", to "oh fucking hell, it's that geeky fucker from Superbad doing the SAME THING AGAIN". It won't fly. But then, money and bank isn't everything I know. So I hesitate to say it, but for my own part, to me it looks like style over substance in a major way. It looks flashy and visually inventive, but to the point it will be grating within 30 minutes, and its based on a comic book which is by all accounts utterly batshit crazy, and will be inpenetrable to most folks - me included. I may be a geek but I ain't that much of a comics geek, sorry. I guess I'm in the very strange position of wanting it to be brilliant, wanting Wright to knock it out of the park, wanting it to succeed, but kinda just not being that bothered about seeing it. The trailer, the premise, the source material does absolutely nothing for me.
-
You sound like a fag. How many followers have you got on twitter?
-
THIS NEEDS TO BE THE TOP TALKBACK! SCOTT PILGRIM RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!! If you're cool you will like Scott Pilgrim. It's really that simple.
-
But are filmgoers who hate Scott Pilgrim...GAY?I really need an answer, SCOTTPILGRIMFAN. Those gay guys are EVERYwhere, and they frankly scare the bejeesus out of me... I know you understand, SCOTTPILGRIMFAN. Thanks for holding the STRAIGHT light up, bro. Remember, you bi-curious geeks out there:Once you go straight, you'll know it's great. But once you go gay, you'll pay and pay (in the eternal fires of damnation).So be like SCOTTPILGRIMFAN and me (not that we're a gay couple or anything) and keep it STRAIGHT. And see SCOTT PILGRIM, my friends. There's nothing GAY about it (OR him OR me or--for pete's sake--SCOTTPILGRIM-FUCKING-FAN). Excelsior!
-
In the theater, it plays to silence. It could be the best film ever but it will bomb hard. This should have come out in March/April instead of Summer.
-
Watch and learn motherfuckers, watch and learn.

It will be the biggest hit of the year. It's this year's Avatar.

than Inception.
-
to get out and over with.
-
We live in a world where Jay Leno could very well have an App that reviews movies. And that is not a world I want to live in.
-
I think its hilarious that you all immediately called plant on me. And the Jay Leno thing is a reference to this stupid fucking iPhone App that Jay Leno made where you can tour his airplane hangar full of vintage cars. I had just read an article about the app before I wrote the review.
But fine, call me a plant. See if I give a fuck. I LOVED this movie. And I loved Inception and Toy Story 3. I say if I have to pick my favorite movie of this year (and I know I don't have to pick, but for the sake of hyperbole...) so far it is definitely Scott Pilgrim. I absolutely did NOT expect to say that walking into the movie. Frankly, I was a little worried. The talkbacker above named TommyGavinsEgo perfectly articulates what I felt when I first saw the trailer. But the movie blew my mind. And I feel bad for any true geeks out there who are going to write this thing off before it even fucking comes out. Your loss, friends. -
You'll understand the Universal logo reference when you see the movie. The opening of this movie fucking rules. Paid for by NBC/Universal cause I'm a fucking plant made of Jay Leno HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
-
I'm just refusing to pay to see it in a theater. Fuck Michael Cera. And while I'm glad you seem to have loved the movie, I'm so over the Scott Pilgrim hype.
-
Yes. I believe that. And a mind is a terrible thing to have blowed up real good. Everybody just calm down and see the movie when it comes out. Got it? That way nobody gets hurt. Go quietly to the movie, many times. Here let me help you with your ATM card. You will be glad you did. As will your family and friends.
-
I'd like to Chau down on her...
-
Believe it.
-
it will suck. There's nothing in the trailer that gives any indication of epicness. And the quote of it being better than Inception and TS3 is just trolling.
-
did you see that skinny mumbling lesbian kick those guys asses
-
That movie with the 10 year old girl gets more screen time than Nic Cage?
-
That review does read a little planty, but if it is a plant, it avoids a lot of plant pitfalls. Not too many common movie ad catchphrases, no individual shoutouts for every big name celebrity involved(doesn't mention Jason Schwartzman) and no mention of popular movies everybody's been in--notice it's not "Juno's Michael Cera" or "Superman's Brandon Routh." Also, a lot of plants seem to have learned their lesson when it comes to hyperbolic statements--a plant probably would have called it an awesome time at the movies, and mentioned three super-lucrative movies it's similar to, rather than going the "better than Inception" route. Plus, plants usually have worse spelling. Still, maybe it's a new strategy. Whatever. I love the books, I love Edgar Wright's stuff, and I'm definitely going to the movie.
-
Plant probably wouldn't have copped to liking Wright's first two movies--might have goone lukewarm on Hot Fuzz.
-
The bit about friends complaining about movies being too serious nowadays does ring a little deliberate and disingenuous--like the reviewer is trying to tap into some undiscovered vein of disgruntled moviegoers sick of "grit." I'll shut up now. You can take the boy out of comp. lit...
-
....And this movie sucked. It thought it was much more clever than it actually was.
Save your money. -
Jay Leno's Ugly Wife iPhone app let's you pin the burqa on Leno's wife.
-
Dude, you're the one who sounds like you'd suck Michael Cera's dick inside out just for practice...
This movie's a bomb, but I'll torrent it when Rifftrax gets around to hazing it... -
i would not see that movie for free.
-
Starship Troopers reference was the best part of the review, well, pre-review actually.
-
I actually thought the review was from an App by Jay Leno, since I didnt even bother to RTFA.
-
steve jobs liver quest
Kicks kids to the curb in his quest for a new liver
3rd act he arranges the death of an infant for it's stem cell engorged liver -
Because this film looks like the biggest load of trendy-hipster shite ever made. Most audiences don't react to trailers where I come from but somebody actually said, "What the fuck was that??" loud enough to make everyone laugh when the trailer played before Robin Hood.
-
Being in your late 20's.
-
I almost always think, I wonder how Jay Leno felt about this film?
-
I havent seen one person telling me where I can find some shoes for cheap. For fucks sake, I need some Jordans and I only have 35 bucks, anyone know where I can go?
-
a You're fired. Which is a GREAT Idea and snl and jimmy whatshisname can go too. Just watch the news kids it's better than hack comedy.
-
The trailers for this film are totally horrible. Loathsome, in fact. But if this reviewer is to be believed, the movie has a backbone which means the romance is believable (which in the trailer it isn't, it's just a way into the fights).
-
but hope it's right... need more good films this year
-
Just......meh.
-
*rimshot*
-
Which is to say, not very.
-
I gotta say, as much as I think this movie will rock, just like he says it does, this review stinks of plantlife.
-
...Just clearing things up, here. "Better than Inception"? Getting a big head, there Edgar. Wise up.
-
...seven exes still hanging around. I'd broom her in a quickness whether I had to fight them or not.
-
and "The Expendables" will piss all over this movie.

I WROTE THIS REVIEW. Not fucking Jay Leno. I'm a 25 year old musician living in Los Angeles. Universal can go fuck themselves. I watch a shit ton of movies every year as a hobby. I like movies from wherever the fuck they come from as long as they're good. My favorite movies last year were A Prophet and Fantastic Mr. Fox. The year before that my favorite movies were The Dark Knight and Wall-E (I also loved Waltz With Bashir). Some of my LEAST favorite movies of the last few years have been fucking Universal movies (Land Of The Lost, Couples Retreat, Mamma Mia, yeah I fucking saw all three of those shitty fucking movies). And they botched the release of the one good movie they put out last year (Drag Me To Hell) and they're clearly botching this movie as well, seeing as none of you fucks (aka the supposed target market for this kind of movie) seem to be remotely interested in it.
I don't know what else I'd need to do to convince you I'm not a plant. FUCK UNIVERSAL. FUCK UNIVERSAL IN THEIR FUCKING ASS. Argue all you want that my statements are overblown about this movie being better than the only other two movies this year that I give a fuck about, but that's how I feel. Scott Pilgrim was a better time at the movies for me than Inception and Toy Story 3. But only slightly. Toy Story 3 made me fucking cry. It was beatuiful. Inception is a movie I LOVE to think about and talk about. But Scott Pilgrim hit me hard. I laughed a lot, and was entertained completely. Universal doesn't owe me shit. Edgar Wright doesn't owe me shit. I don't fucking know any of those people. And I don't want to know them. But if I saw Edgar Wright on the street, I'd be like "Good Fucking Job, Edgar Wright. Scott Pilgrim was an awesome movie." And that would be that. -
They won't stop. They live to torment, it's what they do. I'm sorry. :::falls backwards and fades away:::

I THINK NOT. im hoping it will be good tho, i have hope. Wright is awesome, and i actually like Cera, even tho he is overused. But this SPF really needs to take a fucking chill pill, damn kid. it a decent comic and will probably be a decent movie. This years Avatar? HAHA. not going to happen. 2.5 BILLION, thats alot of fucking money. itll probably end up like kickass (which i thought was extreamly underated) and fall by the wayside. which will suck cause like i said, looks good and im hoping it really is.

Yeah I can see why everyone on here think this will suck too. *rolls eyes*
-
i'm not the only one who read that entire thing thinking it was actually Jay Leno right? Cause that would have been something.

see what silly gets you? A non-editable Talkback post with typos.
Thanks fingers. Oh, and I have no urge to see, slag or reveiw this movie. If I hear or read that it's good, I might check out a cheap show. I loved Hot Fuzz. Shaun, not as much. And Spaced, I got through Season 1, maybe. Don't remember. -
A 12-year-old playing a plastic guitar and silly, 12-year-old level of ironic use of the word "epic." Guess they missed my demographic (non-12-year-olds)!

Scott Pilgrim will be recast before the movie comes out.
by tikidonkeypunch
I believe Jaden Smith is up for the role.

and i mean that both physically and psychologically...a girl that you're SO MADLY into that you would take on the whole world to be with her, and mr T would pity the fool that got in your way....because she gives you a strenght and a swagger you didnt even know you had before. when all you needed was love. The Beatles knew it. AppleScruff out in LA (waddup KP?) and myself down in the 305 know it. when r u going to find that inner power in you?
