First off, let me say that after this week, I'm putting my foot down on going back to the 'only five on mike' rule, because this episode turns into a bit of a circus at points. But it was also the most I've laughed in as long as I can remember. Why? Well, we've got John Rubio in the house. And it's -N8's first LEOG experience as an Austinite as well. Check it...

Well, you're wrong about one thing. I actually completely agree. I think Scott Pilgrim was and is a little overblown. I love Edgar Wright, and I do like Scott Pilgrim, but it's nowhere near the masterpieces that are Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. Also... Michael Cera? Really?
Comment by LukeAmongClouds on January 25, 2011 at 1:49pm Holdon, Leon... You were more interested in Scott Pilgrim's story than Kill Bill's?
Why should we care about this whiny hipster kid/root for him to get this mystery girl? That story's no deeper, than, say... the story of a vengeful Bride looking to get even with the people who betrayed her.
I like Scott Pilgrim and Kill Bill, but I like Pilgrim decidedly less than when I first saw it. Sure, it's got awesome visuals and a decent sense of humor, but it more or less evaporated once I left the theater. A couple of the fights were forgettable, too. That's just me, though. I thought the Kill Bill movies had enough funny moments, crazy action sequences, solid performances, and engrossing bits of writing to entertain the viewer throughout. Most people complain that Tarantino spends too much time (mostly in his newer films) paying homage to certain film genres rather than actually crafting a film. Kill Bill has those moments, but they never really take over the film or hinder it (in my opinion.) It's a fantastic little revenge story, and the writing is phenomenal. Pilgrim's script was nowhere near as endearing.
I'm gonna catch a lot of flak for this (most everyone on Spill backs Scott Pilgrim 100%.) I do like it, I just don't love it as much as everyone else. Just letting y'all know what I think. I don't want to be branded as the constant League Agitator.
