SCOTT PILGRIM vs THE WORLD: The Muthafucking Trailer, Bitches.

I'm going to have to clean my apartment this weekend, after having exploded my nerd-wad all over it, HA HA HA!

Seriously though, after, like, two years of anticipation, and months of wondering when the fuck a trailer would come out, this TOTALLY exceeded my expectations... well, at least visually. As a trailer, I feel like this was more of a teaser trailer and didn't really give you much information on what the movie is actually about beyond the premise; but it does promise spectacular fights, romance, comedy, and just shit that you've ever seen before in a movie. There are some great sight gags in the trailer (the "Get's-It" meter is my favorite), that really seem in keeping with the spirit of the book. I had no idea what Edgar Wright's concept for this movie was going to be, much less how he'd pull it off, but I did know that he would be the guy to do it. This is beyond promising.

Cast looks good... May Whitman is well cast; excited about that. I wasn't feeling Micheal Cera before... I like him, but I've never seen him play a dude with confidence, however misplaced, but now I just look like an asshole; he kills it up in this trailer. The dude stepped up.

Overall... I'm stoked. Ravenous with anticipation and my characteristic impatience. Fuck does August seem a long ways away...

Osamu O'Malley, or Brian Tezuka?

HA HA HA! Mal look so adorable wearing his little Tezuka hat. ADORABLE.

BREAKING NEWS! THIS WILL BE THE ONLY TIME THIS HAPPENS ON THIS BLOG!

The only news bite I'll EVER have to report... Superstar comic artist (Creator of such 1998 internet classics as PENNYWISE and WINGED MISA, and prolific contributer to ROSARIUS NEXT) Bryan O'Malley let slip on his LiveJournal that Superstar director Edgar Wright (SPACED, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ, SCOTT PILGRIM, and that YouTube video where he razzles the fat kid from SUPERBAD) was in Toronto on a mysterious quest... possibly for glory. How is this signifigant? Well I was at the Bloor/Spadina BMV with Eric Kim and Heather Chan yesterday, and I got to talk to Kendall Savage (up and coming actress, prolific Halloween party hostess, Kareoke songstress, and generally fantastic human being, who may be related to the Macho Man Randy Savage...) who works the cash there, and she let slip that Edgar Wright was there that VERY DAY. Wonder what he could have been doing... scouting a possible location for upcoming, sure-to-be-hit, comic-nerd opus SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD? Or buying back issues of DEADPOOL for 50 Cents each like every other nerd in Toronto? That's what I went there for.

THE SAGA CONTINUES!
