Edgar Wright‘s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (adapted from the comic) starring Michael Cera has a trailer. The plot is that Scott Pilgrim falls in love with a pink-haired chick and has to fight her seven evil ex-boyfriends, which in the movie include both Captain America and Superman. Given Edgar Wright’s involvement, I was hoping the trailer would finally get me as interested in this project as everyone else seems to be, but it still just looks kind of camp for camp’s sake. Am I the weird one? Everyone else is crapping their pants over this.
Kapow! Universal has debuted the official teaser trailer for Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s brilliant comic book series and this totally frickin’ rules! I’ve been excited for this since the moment it was announced and damn it looks so awesome!! What an absolutely perfect teaser trailer, from the intro to the awesome footage in-between, and the ending with the adorable Anna Kendrick. We’ve been waiting to see footage for this forever and now it’s here it definitely delivers. For those that don’t know anything about this, it’s basically a video game in a movie, you’ll see what I mean. Just watch & enjoy! [FirstShowing]
Oookay. Am I wrong for thinking this looks like a hipster-ier version of The Spirit? And anyway, if my girlfriend told me she had seven evil ex-boyfriends, I probably wouldn’t try to go fight them. I’d just make a scene and leave her ass settin right there in the Arby’s to think about what she done, and maybe next time not be so much of a whore.

I don’t think all seven of them are ex-boyfriends, at least not any more.
all i wanna know is does the carpet match the drapes?
Scott Pilgrim has to fight 7? sounds like a real slaughterhouse!
/waits for limp wristed, sweaty high five from the fat Vonnegut fan in the corner
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
It always hurts! Love = butt secks, right?
Does Michael Cera get paid in ringer t-shirts?
Heck, I like young love as much as anyone who has to register as a sex offender should they move… but, what was that ?
I wasn’t even aware that Cera was straight. I heard he sucked better than my 8 pound Oreck.
producers:
ok so we have michael cera fighting people? bring in the CGI truck, we’re gonna need a shit ton. does Costco sell CGI?
There’s no such thing as an evil boyfriend, just girlfriends that don’t do as they’re told.
This premise is similar to my relationship with my ex wife, except for the fact that she was a giant whore and I didn’t fight anyone.
I defeeted my evil ex-boyfriend through hobbling.
None of this matters. That chick is just going to dump him anyway when he starts crying shortly after penetration. I know from experience.
yep you hit the nail on the head vince, this is the spirit for hipsters
Whaddya mean “fat”?
I knew that Erin Esurance chick was a goer.
If this was meant to expose the mating rituals of young Canadadians it’s good to know nothing has changed.
So, being typecast is a superpower?
This trailer gives me the same feeling as hitting my girlfriend. I want to like it, but I just don’t understand the appeal of it. Maybe I just have to keep doing it. HEY HONEY!
Vince, I feel the same way about that “How to Train Your Dragon” trailer that says the movie is on par with ET. The world has gone mad.
Lucky for me, my girlfriend’s ex-boyfriends are all still in middle school.
Michael Cera should be put in jail for his shitty work. Then he can have 8 guys fighting over him in the shower. We could even make a movie out of it and call it Michael Cera’s Sore Butthole vs. 8 Black Cocks.
It’s obvious Edgar Wright’s Mother wrote that trailer review.
Last time I had to fight 7 guys was in the Arathi Highlands over some magic raptor oil (+3 Intellect)
*flexes, does Randy Savage voice*
OhhhYeeeeah!
Pauly, lucky for me all my girlfriend’s ex-boyfriends are dead
*twiddles thumbs, hides bloody shovel
Last time I had to fight 7 guys was in a Pedophile’s Anonymous meeting and the mediator brought his son to work
When they say he has to fight this chick’s exes, they mean in something like World of Warcraft, right?
I just crapped my pants, too, but not because of this trailer.
^^Hey, SJP has an account on here? What up, girl, go die somewhere
I saw a screening of this about a month or so ago. It was well worth the hype. Very funny and it seemed the entire crowd loved it. Plenty of cartoon violence.
I know it’s all the rage to make snarky comments and stuff on here…but I think this looks pretty cool. *shrugs* *kicks can on the ground*
Her?
I think the people crapping their pants are all people who’ve read the series, which is really spectacular. As such,
we’rethey’re able to piece some semblance of order out of this epileptic seizure of a trailer./seriously excited for this movie now
//even more ready for the kick to the nads he’s going to get upon seeing it piss all over the books
After your last scott pilgrim post I read the series. I liked it but it had much more indie shit that videogame shit. They should have just edited some cg kung fu into Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist. I agree with Vince, this looks like a failure.
