That trailer excites me enough to want the movie playing in front of my peepers.
Also, this. ^
According to advanced screenings, a lot of people are calling it Edgar Wright's best work to date. This is the dude who did Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. How is that even possible?!

New clip from the MTV Movie Awards pre-show. Enjoy!
Ugh. I can't believe Malaysia doesn't get this film until Frickin' November.

I got excited by the new trailer, so I walked to my comic book store in the pouring rain to spend $25 of the $50 that must last me ten more days on volume 2 of Scott Pilgrim, as well as Lost at Sea, because I heard that it is also very good.
I will be getting volumes 3-5 at my earliest convenience, and then waiting impatiently for volume 6 and the movie in August.

Also, am I the only one who get giddy seeing Scott wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the old CBC gem logo?
For some reason it made me happy. And it made me seek a shirt out. And I might be ordering one of those shirts sometime when I can afford it.

What's that? You want more trailer? We GOT more trailer. International version ahoy!
Don't see it.
I went and read volumes 1-5, and it's a pretty good comic, although sometimes I lose track of who's talking since the character designs are so simple. The almost-a-video-game-but-not-quite style of the world is pretty entertaining, and even though I am tired as hell of Cera he's pretty much a perfect Scott. I'm hoping this ends up being a great movie.

Scott Pilgrim's E3 Trailer Blows Our Pixellated Socks Off
It looks like the guy who makes all those pixelated cartoons worked on this. Definitely the same style.

The first two trailers had me doubting Cera as Scott, but this international trailer almost has me seeing it.
I can't wait for this movie to come out. I was just talking to a friend of mine about it tonight. I finished volume 5 last week, and I'm pretty much going to re-read the whole thing after this busy weekend is over.

This is my big movie of the summer, so I'm hoping so too. Nothing else has this much awesome potential, nor the potential to fail so hard.
Ha, just kidding, The Last Airbender comes out next month. That can totally fail harder than this movie's even aware of. Scott Pilgrim, rock it!

Stuff like this is PRECISELY why I effing love Edgar Wright:

Has this ever been done before? I'm prepared to call this the best trailer of all time.

You know why I love Edgar Wright?
He came to the midnight screenings at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas, got on the mic and thanked us for supporting his little movie, and then proceeded to give everyone in the theater a high five while they played "Eye of the Tiger".
Also the movie was FUCKING AWESOME.

This is what I was looking for!
Seeing the movie in 4 hours, super excited![/QUOTE]
WE MIGHT SEE IT AT THE SAME TIME!
Movie time buddies is what they'll call us!
I will be seeing it in just under five hours! 9:45pm EST. Can't wait!
Fuuuuck, I was gonna see this tonight, but power went out, sick woman, and then family in town... damn.
Saw it, loved it!

The movie makes use of the same elements and whatnot, just kinda mixes them around and combines them in different ways. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but if you go in expecting the same chain of events to unfold, you might be a little disappointed, if disappointed is the right word.
It's not worse or better, really. It's just different.

I'm probably going to write a longer review soon, but ... for now I'll just say it was rad as shit! Seriously, you need to see this if you like good things.
AWESOME! I can't wait to see it again. Its Edgar Wright, too, so I'm sure there's like 100 things going on that I didn't even pick up on yet.
I didn't like the weird Seinfeld parody sequence though. It seemed very unecessary and didn't build up to anything. I didn't see the point.
The ending was better.

I laughed at it, but yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere, even given how surreal the movie felt at parts. I assume that wasn't related to the comics, seeing as it was mostly an audio gag?
Here are my thoughts in general!
Also, am I the only one who thought
of Icarus when Scott said 'She's mature for her age!'? Please, please tell me I'm not! 
Whoops. Scott Pilgrim made only $4m on Friday.

According to Boxofficemojo, its only in 8th right now. Not a great start. And not the start it deserves.
What's it going up against?
According to BOM, the current Box office leader is The Other Guys. Expendables is currently in second, Inception's hanging on to third and Eat Pray Love in 4th. Dinner For Shmucks, Despicable Me and Salt fill in the gap.
I'd love for the good buzz to allow it to take off over tomorrow and Sunday but I'm doubtful.

So basically a smart, nerdy, romantic comedy is trying to compete with the Ultimate Action Movie, a lowest common denominator Will Farrel film, the Ultimate Mind Fuck movie, and some family movies? Yeah, this was just bad placement for them. This should have been released in September, when it wouldn't have had a whole lot of competition.
