It's Games on Film vs. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, as Harry and Rory mark the 10th anniversary of Edgar Wright's video-game-inflected graphic-novel adaptation. They discuss the PlayStation-era pop culture of Spaced, look back at the original source material, and replay the much-missed spin-off game, before launching into the film's hyper-kinetic universe, as a self-obsessed slacker must do battle with the seven evil-exes of his new girlfriend if they are to stay together. SPvsTW is filled with video game references, martial arts action and musical numbers, but do Pilgrim and pals pack a punch a decade on or is this Sex Bob-Omb more of a dud?

In Toronto, 22-year-old Scott Pilgrim is a bassist in Sex Bob-Omb, a floundering garage band. He is dating Knives Chau, a 17-year-old high-school student, to the disapproval of his friends in the band, his roommate Wallace Wells, and his younger sister Stacey Pilgrim. Scott meets an American Amazon delivery girl, Ramona Flowers, after having first seen her in a dream. He loses interest in Knives, but does not break up with her before pursuing Ramona. When Sex Bob-Omb plays in a battle of the bands sponsored by record executive Gideon Graves, Scott is attacked by Ramona's ex-boyfriend Matthew Patel. Scott defeats Patel and learns that, in order to date Ramona, he must defeat her remaining six evil exes. Join our crazy team and special guest as we go down the film rundown on this amazing film.

Faye and Rachael from Her Dark Materials join Flixwatcher remotely to review Faye’s choice Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 film adaption of the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim directed by Edgar Wright starring Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim. In this film Scott must defeat the seven evil ex’s of his new girlfriend Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) - while playing in a local battle of the bands (which happens to be sponsored by one of the evil ex’s Gideon (Jason Schwartzman) with his band Sex Bob-Omb. It’s pretty clear that bringing to life Scott Pilgrim from the page to film was done with love and attention - visually it is dazzling and sounds like nothing else (thanks to Nigel (Radiohead) Godrich. It also features an unbelievably good supporting cast - Kieran Culkin, Chris (Captain America) Evans, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Brandon Routh, Mae Whitman - to name a few. 2020 is a very different time to 2010 - there are a few moments in Scott Pilgrim that are particularly problematic - mostly in the treatment of Knives Chau and some off handed culturally insensitive references. There is also an unpleasant undertone to Gideon’s control over his ex Ramona. And it’s hard to gloss over that Scott is quite a bit of a dick. Scores [supsystic-tables id=164] However, die-hard fans of the comic will find a lot to enjoy (there was a lot of love for it on Twitter) and it’s an interesting offer from Edgar Wright. Despite scoring low on recommendability Scott Pilgrim picks up some higher scores across the other categories to score a reasonable 3.95 overall. What do you guys think? Have you seen Scott Pilgrim.

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In Episode 85 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. and Kai Yaniz strap in for our third Crooked Commentary. After years of wishful thinking, we finally rewatched Edgar Wright's 2010 flop-turned-cult-classic Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Based on the comics by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the film stars Michael Cera as a bassist in Canadian indie rock band Sex Bob-Omb who just so happens to be an immature 22-year-old leaving a path of destructive behavior in his wake. But when he falls for the elusive Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Scott winds up on a quest to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends exes in combat. Although the film failed to make a box office splash, it has found new life on home video. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World still stands as one of Rob's favorite movies, and Kai, well, "appreciates" it. So the film seemed destined for the commentary treatment. Of course, don't listen unless you've already seen the film (highly recommended). But if you're already a Pilgrim-head (can we make that a thing?), let's get into it. 1! 2! 3! 4! We’re excited to hear your feedback as the Crooked Table Podcast continues to evolve. As usual, the show does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Curt and Kevin are joined by guest vocalist Ryan Lucas as they discuss the first two volumes of the Scott Pilgrim series: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, written and drawn by Bryan Lee O'Malley and published by Oni Press! Scott Pilgrim, aimless 23-year-old bassist for Toronto band Sex Bob-Omb, is dating 17-year-old high school student Knives Chau when he falls hard for delivery girl Ramona Flowers. But in order to date her, he'll have to break up with Knives—and, oh yeah, defeat seven of Ramona's exes in hand-to-hand combat! Can Scott get his act together long enough to help Sex Bob-Omb score a prestigious gig opening for his ex-girlfriend Envy Adams—and vanquish the League of Ramona's Evil Ex-Boyfriends? And can he book himself and the band into that Great Gig in the Sky known as … The Comics Canon? Things Discussed in This Episode: • Is Scott Pilgrim kind of a jerk? • Do these books pass the Bechdel Test? • The Flying Burrito Brothers' Gilded Palace of Sin • Is Kevin really Scott Pilgrim? • Curt hates the name of our letters segment • Our first negative review • Random House vs. Houghton Mifflin • Zot!

The game has changed. Brett’s pick is not a comic that he loves. It’s not even one he likes. It’s not even one he would recommend, but his morbid curiosity has gotten the best of him. He has picked X-Force vol. 2 #1-6 (2004) by Rob Liefeld – with a dash of Fabian Nicieza! Strap on your shoulder pads, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Aside from discussing the Liefeld in the room, Matt and Brett touch on everything from Wolverine & the X-Men and Saga (new comics!) to the Avengers (of course!) and TV’s Young Justice. Even Operation: Galactic Storm (blast from the past!) is discussed. For more info on the comic shops mentioned in the episode: Star Clipper (St. Louis, MO) Outer Limits Boro (Murfreesboro, TN) Midtown Comics (New York, NY) The Comic Store (Lancaster, PA) Desert Island (Brooklyn, NY) Young Justice is available on the iTunes Store. Music: “Summertime” by Sex Bob-Omb "The Hustler Gene" originally appeared at http://mattandbrettlovecomics.com/podcast/2012/the-hustler-gene.html
The Bad News: Matthew Socey was not on the air because he was moving from Stately Socey Manor to The Socey Compound. The Good News: Gina Wagner of Haunted Flower (and drummer for Sex Bob-Omb) fills in as host.
Scott Pilgrim Trailer redone using comic panels.I absolutely loved Bryan Lee O'Malley's 'Lost At Sea', from the teenager angst to the simply beautiful, solemn and quirky artwork, but when his next series, 'Scott Pilgrim' came out I thought it seemed to silly or something, and it never really caught my attention.Until one day my good friend Reilly Brown said that I HAD to read it. There were just too many similarities between Scott's life and my own. Granted I wasn't an early 20's bassist in Canada, but I was a slacker with a young ex with a penchant for blades, and relationship drama mixed with oblivious comedy sounded about right.The comic melted my brain. It was an indie book, with characters that just hung out, went to parties, and meandered through their lives. It was a battle book where suddenly a duel would take place with superpowered kung fu. Scott was clueless and yet you couldn't keep him down for long. It was rock'n'roll mixed with subtle video game moments. What was this?The comic makes you love the characters, from the bitchy Julie Powers, to snarky Kim Pine, to vulnerable Knives Chau. Stephen Stills cowboy shirts, Young Neil's haircuts, and Wallace Wells dry wit, these were all iconic people in Scott Pilgrim's universe, well rounded and each given their moments, their personalities developed organically through the volumes.Now, I must say, I love Edgar Wright. I've seen his BBC series Spaced at least three times through, and. Shaun of the Dead was brilliant in its skirting of the fine line between horror and comedy. Hot Fuzz was a sophmore dip, but it had tons of fun moments. This was an amazing storyteller of a director with a ton of geeky influences and a plethora of visual tricks.So when I heard that he was directing Scott Pilgrim vs the World, it was like nothing I've experienced as a fanboy. My favorite superheroes have yet to make it to the big screen, and the closest I got to having one of my all-time favorite graphic novels translated to film well was V For Vendetta, which I quite liked. But this was different.Here we had excellent source material with loveable characters, fun violent action, and a director that seemed to be perfectly suited for the lighthearted tone this adaptation would need. It features a bunch of actors I really enjoy, and with the teaser images Wright posted on his Flickr all last year while filming, it appeared it was devoutly faithful. Would it live up to the trailer that gave me chills when I first saw it?Yes. Yes, it did. But do I feel some sort of deflated feeling after following the internet media push that was almost as entertaining as the comic itself? Yes, it's done, out into the ether to be consumed by the masses. In a few weeks it'll be half-remembered, perhaps quoted, inspiring new fans to track down the books, sport Plumtree t-shirts, and maybe start their own bands (like me).Around Christmas we'll get the DVD release, maybe some rad extra features, behind the scenes, video game samples, etc. I'll pick up the special edition collection of all six volumes, complete with unreleased material as soon as it comes out. And there it'll sit for future enjoyment at a whim.This time will never be captured again. Like seeing that epic band performance at the coliseum where you got the tour shirt that'll be expensive vintage for futuristic hipsters who were never there in the moment. But there's something about films that makes them timeless, just as we can enjoy classics from the past on Blu-Ray.Now, as for the movie itself, (I had to explain all the emotions and thoughts involved to properly process my feelings) the first half is perfection. This is Scott Pilgrim's comic/video game universe come to life. The fantastic camera movements, the interactive narration and title cards introducing our main characters, the true performances that sell them as their graphic novel counterparts, it's all there.The first half is almost shot for shot the introduction, I remembered the exact angle and background when Scott first sees Ramona at the library. I got giddy. Then suddenly new elements pop up, or small bits skipped over (which is flawlessly handled by Wright as he cuts a sharp turn from scene to scene), and then you realize that this is a movie of Scott Pilgrim.I tried to not be that elitist fanboy that makes mental notes about what's missing and lines that were different, but it popped up now and again. And I told myself that O'Malley hadn't even completed volume six until months after filming had wrapped, so of course it would be different. There wasn't time for Julie & Stephen's drama, or Scott & Ramona to move in together.And though I had slight problems with the end of volume six, it felt complete, satisfying. So the movie would have to do the same. And logically, I feel it satisfying me, but emotionally, something wasn't there. The fights came fast and frantic in the second half, never really letting Scott & Ramona to settle into being a couple. Those scenes were Scott gets a job or has birthday were what makes them the couple I know them as.But yes, it's a two hour film so, I try and take it as a complete story, and it works. There's conflict and resolution and we're given an identical ending to the comic really, if not slightly stripped down and amped up for a more one on one style fight. What matters is the spirit is there. Scott earns the power of love and levels up, Sex-Bob-Omb rocks out, and Evil Exs are defeated.I'd call that a flawless victory.Ps- you can stream the soundtrack and the score, and my takes on those are that between them both is a solid album, if only the kickass Sex-Bob-Omb songs were on the score. My particular favorite is 'Summertime' which has been stuck in my head for days.Now, who wants to start a band with me?To find out how I even got into the screening and reflections on what it must feel like to create something that becomes comsumed by pop culture, check out my personal blog.You can also see all things Scott Pilgrim (including the video game pitch trailer, the remix videos, interviews and more) over at Write Club's Tumblr.
