sheer awesomeness coming in august

the first 2 were on the "employee suggestions" shelf. After seeing that trailer I decided to pick them up next time I was over there, and last night was the next time. I've read the first one so far - it was hilarious.

The trailers (there's 2 available at Apple) show a definite feel for the source material. I liked Michael Cera's character in Arrested Development and think he's a very good fit for Scott Pilgrim.

Test screenings look promising. Kevin Smith really liked it:

That movie is great. ItÂs spellbinding and nobody is going to understand what the fuck just hit them. I would be hard pressed to say,ÂheÂs bringing a comic book to life!Â but he is bringing a comic book to life. If youÂve ever seen Scott Pilgrim, he did a fucking damn fine job of taking essentially an anime looking book and putting it into the real world while keeping everything about that book thatÂs kind of cool and what pops.

There's links to other reviews in the article, all positive.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
