Watch Arrested Development. It's fantastic.

What I meant by my statement was that Roger Ebert was especially harsh when critiquing dumb comedies, such as this film. I've read many of your statements about comedy sifts, and you rarely find anything funny. It's not a condemnation; merely an opinion.>> ^dannym3141:
If we're not allowed to review things unless we're professional reviewers, you better say the same to the other people who commented before me.


That's perfectly fair enough, i take it back.
You're right, i don't find many sifts funny. I'm not into boil-in-the-bag humour.. you know, x is a family man but he's got daughter y who's unruly, daughter x who's rock n roll, etc. etc. comedy ensues.
I like comedy that tries harder, where i can't predict every single damned punchline. Stuff like the office, extras. The big lebowski. mitchell and webb and peep show. Curb your enthusiasm. That kinda stuff.
I think the people who make sitcoms like friends, big bang theory are guilty of lazyness. They don't try hard enough for me and i can second guess them.

Odd that I thought of "No More Heroes" when I saw this?


Not to me... It was my first thought too. My second thought was "Wait, this actually looks awesome."

Looks rubbish to me. A cross between <cookie cutter teen romance crap> and my super ex girlfriend mixed with flavour-of-the-month kickass. Dunno why you three are so excited.


If you haven't read the series, I highly suggest you do. The whole point of the books (which do pre-date the Michael Cera-starring teen movie genre you complain about) was to subvert the whole genre (that being said, subsequently casting Michael Cera may have shot that point in the face a bit). They really are well written and play with the dynamic between Scott and Ramona very effectively. If you wanna change your mind about something, look them up.

This looks to deliver on everything Kick-Ass didn't...and I liked Kick-Ass. Also directed by the guy who did Hot Fuzz, already a huge winner.

Hot fuzz, shaun of the dead, spaced, it has to be alright :]

Your video, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Full Trailer, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Yeah, it kinda sucks because the title doesn't really sell it. It implies I care who Scott Pilgrim is and hopes I don't assume it's some teen angsty drama about how zits are ruining some shy kids chance at making something of himself.

Luckily I clicked and it is definitely not that. Serious fighting game/comic booky nerd cred going on here! Daddy rike!
