Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright - kicking the film world's ass since 1996

[powerhour24]

I think what will pace my reading is paying $12 for these books, I just got this one and I sat down while watching TV and wolfed down half of it in a short stint, but dang. Although I'll have fun passing this onto friends.

Another downgrade: I was just reading on Wikipedia, and saw that the movie is coming out in August, I was under the impression that it was June. Not that big of a difference, but still, LAME (although it seems like a good antidote for the end of the summer which is usually filled with crap).

 

[Lancemc]

Well, I'm just hoping the final book comes out before the film, and then I'll be happy. I'd definitely rather digest O'Malley's own ending before Wright's if nothing else.

 

[powerhour24]

I thought I'd read that the film was mostly only based on the first 2-3 books, I'd think they'd try and stretch the story over another film or two.

 

[Lancemc]

Film is based on the first two books faithfully and then big points from books 3-5 and an original ending to the story. One film.

 

[powerhour24]

Gotcha, strange they'd do it that way.

 

[powerhour24]

OK, so I read the whole thing a matter of minutes. Pacing myself might be kind of difficult .

 

[powerhour24]

I sat down at a library today and inhaled the 2nd book... Knives better be that action packed and crazy in the movie.

 

[Lancemc]

Knives Chau
17 Years Old

 

[powerhour24]

The boxes with names, ages, statuses and fun facts HAVE to be in the movie.

 

[Lancemc]

Well it was kind of crazy how much better the second season of Spaced was than the first. But the whole thing was fantastic.

Happy Dais! I have far too many favourite scenes across both seasons, but the male bonding / alley fight scenes when Tim and Daisy have a night out have a special place in my heart.

Don't know if it's out in the US, but there was a special bonus DVD with a kick ass documentary released here a few years back, well worth watching.

 

[powerhour24]

I have the R2 set, it's awesome. It took them until last year to release it on R1 at all, I wasn't that patient.

I'm pretty sure "Gone" is my favorite episode of the entire series.

 

[lazarus]

I love how the R2 set is less than 10 pounds (and they have used copies being sold for like 6), and the R1 set is $40. That's fucking ridiculous.

Thank the maker for region-free players.

 

[powerhour24]

Exactly, even when I imported it new with a practically 2X exchange rate it cost me less, not to mention I had it for years prior to the R1.

 

[monkeyskin]

I'm pretty sure "Gone" is my favorite episode of the entire series.

"I'M NOT A MONSTER, TIM!"
"Mini cab?" "Yes please!"
"It's too orangey for crows."

Comedy genius. But you know what, Jessica Stevenson doesn't get enough credit when Pegg / Wright / Frost are mentioned. Actually, she gets none. And that's outrageous.

 

[powerhour24]

True, I don't know why they don't work with her anymore .

 

[Lancemc]

This makes me so very happy.

 

[No spoken words]

Read the first 2 Scott Pilgrim books in less than an hour. Just sayin......

 

[powerhour24]

 

[Lancemc]

Fuuuuuuck yes.

Also, Volume 6 is due out in July! Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour! GIDEON!

 

[powerhour24]

I gotta say though... SP or his brother Lawrence could not afford a Rickenbacker, unless their parents gave it to him like when he randomly got his new apartment.

Excellent tagline though.

One thing about the movie that I heard about from the test screenings makes me quite sad... NO HONEST ED'S. That's my single favorite part of the whole series.

 

[powerhour24]

FINALLY: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Movie Trailers - iTunes

Visuals are fucking amazing, Cera unfortunately appears to be George Michael yet again and he threatens to bring the whole adaptation down, that and I wish they had shown more of the random humor in the trailer, but it's a 1:24 teaser so what can you expect. Sadly no Knives Chau, 17 years old.

 

[Lancemc]

The lack of Knives Chau (17 Years Old) was indeed disappointing. So was the George Michael presence. But I have to admit I was pretty giddy throughout the entire thing.

 

[powerhour24]

Although a showdown between George Michael and Half-Ninja Ann is quite exciting.

 

[powerhour24]

BTW it's going to be odd in book 6 when it'll have to be Knives Chau, 18 years old.

 

[lazarus]

Looks pretty stupid to me, like on the level of Robert Rodriguez's Shark Boy & Lava Girl. And I loved both of Wright's previous films.

 

[powerhour24]

Shun the non-believer.

Even if you don't like the concept (you should read the comics), you couldn't possibly deny how cool those visuals are, not at all Shark Boy/Lava Girl level, in terms of bringing a comic to life there's a much better RR comparison in Sin City, I think this just took that game one step further.

 

[lazarus]

Nothing I haven't already seen on the Batman TV series with Adam West.

 

[bono_212]

I want to like this, been meaning to get the books for a while, but Jesus, Michael Cera just needs to stop.
