    It was good.

    I found myself feeling it dragging at times though.

    That may be a little inaccurate, I suppose. No one is every speaking to the audience or anything (that I recall). I was referring to things like a "Pee Meter" and grabbing a floating extra life while saying "I'm getting a life", and so on.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Yes, crop you can see it. You are never addressed by the characters. It's just a mash-up of media, film and video games.

    So this went to 10th in the box office this weekend, while 'The Expendables' stayed in 1st, and 'Vampires Suck' was 5th.

    People are absolutely retarded.

    Tell us something we don't know. I don't know why people are surprised though, the film was always going to have very niche appeal.

    I can't wait to see it, it's out here tomorrow!

    I guess so, but it's just an amazingly well done film. I thought that that, coupled with word of mouth, may have transcended the fact that it's not a 'shoot first, ask questions later, take some steroids and bag the woman' film. *sigh*

    I think it's more that at first glance, the film and its premise is retarded.

    I don't think you're supposed to go in there expecting a realistic plot, and I don't see how the premise of a movie would ever detract from how well the film is made. It's no more retarded than a millionaire dressing up as a bat and fighting guys who dress up as clowns, but the Dark Knight was still awesome.

    I had no idea so many people hated Michael Cera! I absolutely love him. Ramona looks adorable. Jason Schwartzman is in this movie, who has my heart.

    I think it looks badass and I'd really like to see it. ALSO. Mae Whitman, also known as Ann Veal from Arrested Development is in it. I love it when they gather AD stars for movies.

    No (of course you're not the only one, there's someone two posts above yours for one!), but you're all wrong hopefully. And of course the plotline is ridiculous, that's one of the reasons why I love Scott Pilgrim. It's both grounded in some degree of reality and brilliantly barmy at the same time. With regards to the film, Edgar Wright knows how to do ridiculous as well, as anyone who saw Spaced/Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz will testify (not saying they're similar to Scott Pilgrim, or that if you like them you'll like Scott Pilgrim, but they're all outlandish in their own way).
