Vampires Suck is #2 and Scott Pilgrim is #10 box office this weekend. I hate this country.

^I was going to say something along these lines...

But you got me wondering if the Canadian Box office rankings are any different than the American ones. I just looked up last weeks and up until #5 its the same, but afterwards its kind of different. I'm going to check up on it again

Scott (23) dating Knives (17 years old) is iffy at best. But then, they were never really dating.

No, it's cool. Chill out. It's like in Trainspotting.[/QUOTE]

IMDB says Ellen Wong (actress playing Knives) is 25 and Michael Cera (playing Scott Pilgrim) is 22 or 23.

Whaaaa...[/QUOTE]

22 or 23? What?
I'm pretty sure he's 22. A guy I worked with last summer went to high school with him and he was two years younger than me, so if Cera was in the same grade as him, he'd be 22 now.

Canadian Box office was surprisingly different from the overall North American one, though the top 10 is all the same movies just in a different order. Scott Pilgrim was 9th over the weekend instead of 10th.

The big difference is Lottery Ticket and Piranha 3D. Apparently we went crazy for the Piranhas over the weekend, and Canadian audiences let Lottery Ticket debut in 17th, in stark contrast to the North American 4th.

Theory: Canadians don't care about American lotteries because of the vast difference in gambling regulations between the two nations.

True story: I have bought exactly one lottery ticket in my life. The woman at the store asked if I had my ticket for the big draw that night, and I thought "Why not?" I forgot that I had one until the day after winning tickets had to be claimed, and though I still know where it is (it's only a few weeks old at this point) I'm afraid to check it and discover that I won something.

You have an entire year from the draw date to claim your prize. At least you're not the newf who had the $30M ticket voided.

Well, for some reason I thought it was a week after.

Just checked it, and I got nothin'. Too bad.

I wonder how vastly different your post would have been if you won, I imagine it would have included "so long suckers".

The movie was phenomenal. I've seen it twice in theatres to support it (though sadly I know it won't help much in the long run) and bought the Soundtrack.

Shortly after I bought the graphic novel 6 book set from Amazon.

I'm a Pilgrim fan for sure, and that's cause I can't stand Cera. Anyonelse think the kid from Zombieland would have done a better job?

I always felt that guy is trying to be Michael Cera and not doing it as well as Michael Cera does. I think he looks the part a little more than Cera does, but whether or not he could do a better performance? I really couldn't say.

I actually think a large part of the reason Cera was cast was probably that Edgar wright probably wanted to cast a Canadian and Cera's from Brampton. I've seen Wright on his interactive trailer thing and also read in interviews that he made it a point to cast Canadian and American actors, and didn't want to cast any Europeans. The guy that played Mathew Pattal happened to hide his English accent so well that Edgar Wright didn't know he was English until after he had given him the part.

I think Jesse Eisenberg is a better actor than Michael Cera, so he might have been better. I don't think it would have really changed the success of the movie either way though.

I picked up on the metaphor stuff people were mentioning on my second viewing. We were the only ones in the theater for its last night of shows at our theater, so we could talk and stuff.

It's a great movie; it's a shame it didn't do better, but it's got a place in my heart and a place in my DVDs when it is released.
