Wow.
First off, I hated the alternate ending. So I'm glad they didn't use it. And while I think Mr. Wright made the right decision in cutting down the scenes where Ramona delivers the Amazon package as well as the date scene, I did get a little glee from the extended versions.
Also, the books were excellent. I don't think either version dilutes the other. Two totally different things, when you really think about it. And the movie ending was perfect. Very...
Which is totally lost with the alternate
It would of shown that Scott can finally let go of his pasts mistakes (which Romona represents) and move forward with his life.
and also because ramona ends up completely getting the shaft for no good reason
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
He keeps her at a distance when she's clearly interested in more. It's not necessarily poor treatment but it's not good treatment either.
To be fair, I assumed one of the reasons he kept her at a distance was because he didn't want his ass hauled off to jail. Mind you, I have no idea what the age of consent is in Canada, how worked up Canadians are about this sort of thing (but then, the movie was made primarily with American audiences intended,) or how important statutory rape laws are in a universe where murder is so damn casual. But I assumed Knives bringing up her birthday right after Scott had to dump her was there for a reason.
"My 'Secret Lair' is kinda one of those 'no girls allowed' type deals"
it pretty clear right there that he's not actually interested in Knives, so much as the idea of having a girl interested inhim
uhm...no I don't think so.
it's because Scott likes the idea of being in a relationship but is not emotionally ready to do so, nor is he truly interested in Knives
Yes but it's not because it's illegal.
"It's cool, like in Trainspotting"
Having seen it once and armed with some knowledge (he was really impressed by the fact that they physically swapped the sets in the bathroom scene, he loves behind the scenes movie stuff) I was able to convince him to give it a chance. They all had a blast.
Man do I love the title screen theme for this game.
agreeed, and fixed
and for the DLC, FINALLY!!
Just a little further repair work.
its been there all week.
FOR SHAME, sir
i got distracted by streaming the hd version of scott pilgrim from xbox zune that i forgot to tell you guys. :lol: (on another note i know you north americans get netflix on live but over in the uk they seem have to updated the live zune player with a goddamn fuckton of movies now, they even have roger corman classics on there. before we used to get one or two movies updated a month)

For the record, age of consent in Canadia is 16, up from 14, where it was up until 2008 (well after the first few volumes of Scotty P. were written).
Knives is really tough. Like, tougher than Kim, but not as tough as Stills. I figured she'd be the quickest out of all of them, but then again I haven't maxed out her stats yet so I guess we'll just wait and see.
I'm also happy that I can enjoy this game without it freezing on me. Got to invite friends over sometime this week to play it with me.

Personally I felt that the ending itself was more "put together" than the one they went with. The Stacy Pilgrim phone conversation voice over, the slow-mo final game of Ninja Ninja Revolution, Romana's admission that she admired Knives, etc. Plus with the way that Ramona was presented in the movie, I don't feel like it's too much of a stretch that Scott would chose Knives over her, especially after realizing how devoted Knives had been to him. Also, some of the stuff they removed was really great and I'd wished they'd kept it.
* The 1-Up teleporting him back to him walking in on Wallace
* Scott calling Gideon the second time around
* Wallace's reaction to said phone conversation. Balls. Haha.
I mean, the Stacey conversation and the Hero's journey joke undermined one of my favorite things about Scott Pilgrim.
All the crazy stuff is pretty much mundane. Sure, this is the biggest event in Scott's life, probably, but that's due to the relationship and the scale of the violence. The fact he kicked a dude in the head so hard he exploded is just another reason he's the best fighter in Ontario. Everyone being shocked works against that.
I've seen it around 5 times now in the last couple of weeks, and it is without a doubt my favourite movie of recent memory. Just ordered that big boxset of the comics, and the bluray, just need to grab the game now, but I think I'll leave that till after the comic.
I've recommended it to a few people, but nobody else has seemed to care for it that much. I loved things like
Does anyone know where I could download this:

I've got the soundtrack, but it's a different singer, and I prefer this one.
Woot, one sale closer to this being a successful film.
Same.
Wait, no. I may have the box set. I may have the color special. But I still am missing the plush toys and several other items of merchandise.
Need to get on that.
On the other hand, I liked the ending to the movie better than the books; the mind control/subspace stuff felt too needlessly complicated, maybe? I'd say I liked book 4 the best of the six; it was the most original to a movie watcher and probably had the most interesting conflict, with Lisa, Roxie, Mr. Chau, and a job wrecking Scott's shit at the same time.
