I've been debating on seeing this. I guess I should give it a shot. Just saw Black Swan this weekend (sexy natalie portman :) ) and The Rite. The Rite was pretty good... really anything with Anthony Hopkins is good. Although this morning I dreamed the anti-christ had arrived and millions were possessed... so maybe I shouldn't have watched it?? lol
I heard that Scott Pilgrim vs. The world had lots of video game quotes so i might just see it...
It's not just quotes... it's all kinds of references. A lot of the soundtrack is music from retro video games. Even right at the beginning when the camera zooms in on their house, it plays that little 'spinning triforce' jingle from the beginning of Zelda 3.
But yeah it's pretty much nonstop video game stuff, with great special effects and a really great sense of humor.
Even the bands names are funny/VG related: "Sex Bob Omb" and "Clash at Demonhead". XD
Yeah I remember that game. It was awesome. One of the weird rare gems that most people never heard of. When I saw the name in the movie I couldn't stop laughing at how awesome it was.
I guess it was overhyped by people -- but I don't have a TV and don't hang out with movie-going crowds so I hadn't heard anything about it until my brother suggested it. So maybe that's why I liked it so much?
I'm interested in hearing what other people think though, so after you watch it you should chime in this thread with your thoughts ;)
