Danger: Diabolik! One of the best spy villain lairs ever.
He also played Sinbad in one of the Harryhousen movies.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
We saw Scott Pilgrim tonight. Man, Kieran Culkin was a *perfect* Wallace.
Yes.
Also, I thought it did a pretty good job of collapsing all 6 books into one movie.
Yes.
Brandon Routh? AWESOME as Todd the vegan.
Yes.
The weird thing is that I don't think any of the actors portrayed the characters the way I read the characters in my head, but they were amazing with their particular portrayals, which totally worked.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Kim was exactly how I pictured her. Wallace was better.

I thought that Julie Powers was on.
And Kulkin totally deserves a best supporting actor nom.

Did either one of them hose the other one down, Matt?
I don't believe so, but Russell's character repeatedly needles Stallone's about his intent to sleep with the latter's sister in a way that screams "unless you care to make me a better offer..."

Art Crawl!!!
DebetEsse, what about the possibility that the whole thing is in Mal's dream ?

And of course, Russell ends up in drag later in the movie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Guess who's DRUNK?!?"
The only thing I wish they'd kept from book 6 was after the fight with Gideon, in the book, the crowd was all still there, and when coins started to rain down on them, in the first panel, the crowd was all "Ooooh, pretty!" and then as they kept falling, the crowd was all "Ouch! Ow! Agh!" That made me laugh my ass off. But I think that in the movie, by the time the fight with Gideon was done, the crowd had left.
Also? I think I wanted Scott and Knives together at the end of the movie, book be damned.
The weird thing is that I don't think any of the actors portrayed the characters the way I read the characters in my head, but they were amazing with their particular portrayals, which totally worked.
I wanted Envy Adams to look more like the book, which is ridiculous, because people aren't line art. (Well, okay, I strongly suspect that J.K. Simmons was actually line art in Spider-Man. Nothing else explains him.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sumi, my only problem with that is that "reality" is not crumbling, as it should be doing if it's her dream, once she died. Unless the dream rules we know are just the nested dream rules, in which case, what's the point?

If it's Mal's dream, then she's not actually dead.
