Mike from Screenrant made this video of dogs playing poker.  I may be a simple man, but dogs wearing ties and smoking cigars will never not be awesome to me.

I skipped The Expendables panel in favor of the much less cluster-humpy Children’s Hospital panel yesterday, which was scheduled to end at 6:00 (it was awesome, more on that in a bit).  That was the same time the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World panel was scheduled to start.  I figured I wouldn’t get in, but after I cut in line in front of some disabled kids, I managed to get inside just as it was starting.  That’s right, crippies, these legs do run.

My first thought once I was inside: holy crap this is a big room.  I did not know they made rooms this big.  I’m not sure I could’ve been further from the action had I been in the nosebleed seats of the Rose Bowl and Edgar Wright the coin they flip at the 50-yard line.  I’m not exaggerating.  This is with the camera zoomed in a bit in order to see the stage.

Allegedly, that very very small speck at the center of the frame is Edgar Wright.

Behold, the new trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, directed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz), and starring Michael Cera.  Go ahead, get excited.  It’s okay, I know I’m the weird one.  I’m literally the only person on the internet who doesn’t get this.  Is it because I never read the comic book?  That didn’t hurt Watchmen or Kick-Ass.  Anyway, the plot is that Michael Cera and his Bea-Arthur-meets-Justin-Bieber updo fall in love with some chick who has pink hair and wears goggles on her head (had you heard? being a 4-Non-Blondes fanatic is the new wearing 80s sunglasses).  Then he has to fight her seven evil ex-boyfriends (that’s right, seven. clearly she’s a whore.), who include among them Jason Schwartzman with a sword and Chris Evans with a goatee.  And… that’s pretty much it.  Maybe the goatee is an allegory?

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.

Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox opens wide next weekend, which is kind of like the hipster version of what happened with New Moon this weekend.  Only instead of cough drops and cat fur, it’ll be issues of The Atlantic and puggles or labridoodles or whatever super queer-sounding dog breed is popular this week.  Which is to say, I really want to see it.  Here’s the latest clip, in which Jason Schwartzman, playing the voice of the younger fox, gets picked on by a beaver until his older brother intervenes and beats him up.  I don’t know about you, but it really gets me off seeing a beaver get pounded.  (*gets thrown out of independent coffee shop for being “too fratty”*)

What? I liked The Life Aquatic! It was production design driven, that’s why it was so misunderstood! Fine, you jerks, maybe I will go to Starbuck’s.  (*dusts off baseball shirt*)
