I saw it. I feel completely pandered to, and I fucking love it.
(It's a v. v. good movie. See it. Bring a friend.)

I want to smell dark matter
I've read the books (or the first three or four anyway...I can't remember) and Edgar Wright is good at directing things, so I'm sure I'll watch it eventually.

The film makes very good use of music and sound effects from A Link To The Past.
(Yes, this movie is pandering to you, the viewer.)

Well, here's a trailer, but I don't think your horse-drawn carriage of an internet connection can handle it

The reviews are in!
"Clearly directed at an audience with generational ADD" - The New York Observer
"Having said that, sitting through Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is akin to visiting a friend who does play video games, and asking to take a stab at it. He gets wrapped up for two hours demonstrating more tricks than you'll ever need. You wonder when it's your turn. When it finally comes, playing isn't as much fun as you hoped it would be." - The St. Petersburg Times
"Could Michael Cera be getting more vaporous with each repeat of his epicene screen persona? His Scott Pilgrim is so pale, so enervated, so solipsistic, I'd swear I could see right through him. Add in the faux hip, self-congratulatory, dork-pandering assault of the first half-hour or so of Edgar Wright's adaptation of the Bryan Lee O'Malley comic-book series — not to mention the non-stop Pavlovian laugh track provided by the audience at the screening I attended — and you have a candidate for most irritating performance of the year." - The Boston Globe
"Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World is Fan Service: The Movie, an insular, punishingly alienating experience preaching only to the faithful, devoted hearts of arrested 12-year-old boys. It’s singularly fixated on video games and shallow visions of women as one-dimensional objects to be either obtained or discarded and offers no possible point of entry to anybody over the age of 30." - The Philadelphia Weekly
Need I say more? Go see this movie.

Yeah, I regret not gate-crashing the Hollywood premiere as I wandered past it.

I suppose Omalley's art is going to go for big bucks for a while I should just fake it and say he drew it and sell it =)
