Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

Maybe 10/10 from AYBG means a movie was perfect, and that word was not used in his review?

I saw the ad on the TV yesterday and it reminded me how good the soundtrack is

My friend who I brought along is the second person in the clip, the girl. Hurrah she's FAMOUS!
They tried to get me to follow her and I was like "are you joking?". You won't get me on camera if you pa*d me.

A, Why didn't you score it 10/10? Just curious why it's missing the plus one.

Yeah I was thinking about that myself actually. I have no doubt I'd give it 5 stars, but I can't quite bring myself to give it 10/10. I think it's because I never thought having all 7 exes in one film would work, and while it worked a great deal better than I expected, it meant that every scene was eventful - there was no time for the scenes in the comic that did nothing but build up characterisation.
Still, I thought the film put a lot of characterisation into what there was, and the ending was brilliant despite differing from the comic (in which the Knives vs Ramona fight occurs books earlier)

Also, the Kim backstory deserved a lot more than the short explanation it got. Adult Swim made an animation for it, totally worth checking out:

Oh it totally is. When I read the first few books, I had Kasabian's album "Empire" on repeat and it really stuck so I put it on when I read the rest too. I thought that, on a personal level, the film's soundtrack would inevitably be a disappoint because it wasn't Kasabian's Empire! But all credit to Beck and co., they knock it out of the park. In the film you only get to hear snippets of the songs - I'd totally recommend checking out the full album. There's a channel on youtube that has a lot of the songs:

Nah, Total Film are cheekily trying to give people an incentive to b*y the mag.

AHA! I thought I'd seen her before somewhere! You must have brought her along before to something.

[hdaniel82]

Nope I've not actually! Maybe she just looks like someone else? She is actually my OH's work colleague and we've not hung out that much.
