We caught a showing of "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" on Sunday, and it's great, or to use the review from my friend Mike, it was "super awesome." Everyone is great in it. Michael Cera plays a slightly different version of the Michael Cera were used to seeing in movies. Kieran Culkin steals every scene he's in. Jason Schwartzman, Brandon Routh, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are all fantastic as well. Edgar Wright pulls it off (not that i really doubted the genius behind "Spaced" and "Shaun of the Dead).Oh, and the soundtrack is pretty killer too, starting with the 8-Bit version of the Universal Pictures Theme at start of the film by Nigel Godrich (oh he of Radiohead production fame). But, i love Beck's new tune, "Ramona." It would have fit perfectly on "Sea Change," and while that's kind of a sad bastard record, it's still a brilliant take on a Serge Gainsbourg album. "Ramona" feels that way too. You can find it on The Hype Machine.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers
Brett Easton Ellis said that he hated Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. That makes me a sad panda.
