What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So they screened Scott Pilgrim yesterday at SDCC. Where the heck is P-C?

I just posted in Movies! Sorry, no Internet while I was down there. I really lucked out in getting into that screening. It was the highlight of my Comic-Con, especially because Metric played afterward.

The reviews are starting to come out, and hoo-boy, there's going to be a huge chasm between critics who don't get it and those that do.

Yeah, I suspected that.

Scott Pilgrim -- O'Malley flatters himself by borrowing the last name of Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" hero

Incorrect, he got the name from a song. Shut up.

What's disappointing is that this is all so juvenile. Nothing makes any real sense. The "duels" change their rules on a whim, and no one takes the games very seriously, including the exes, who, when defeated, explode into coins the winner may collect.

Kirk Honeycutt (if that is your real name), I have four words in response: it's not for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no idea what possesses someone to do this, but it's funny as hell. It may possibly be too geeky for me, though.

Is Professor Xavier a mole? That's awesome!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm sad. The first I hear that Harvey Pekar has died is in "La Cucaracha".

I like this obit

I started watching Under the Red Hood tonight, and god DAMN if Jensen Ackles isn't PERFECT for Jason Todd. Wow.

Also? Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing? AWESOME.

I'm not too far into it yet, and I gotta hit pause and go to bed. Still, I'm liking what I've seen so far.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I can totally see that when I think about it, except for the part where BOOM

Try John Di Maggio as the Joker. I will NEVER be able to watch Futurama again. He is fucking *creepy.*

If you think about it, so is Bender. Seriously.
