I've got some real mixed feelings about Scott Pilgrim. so far, I'm 5 volumes through it, and its fun, its spunky..a little nerdy. But i think Scott, our “hero”, is the stories biggest problem. SO he's awkward, and he loves video games. in case you couldn’t figure that out. Most of his spare time seems to be spent playing Nintendo, but on the side Scott is also a martial artist, a grunge rocker, a stud, a chick magnet, AND a psychic. Just your average hard core gamer!<br /> I like the other characters in scott pilgrim, they're funny, and likable, but insecure, and unsure at times. just like all of us. Not Scott though. he’s a super hero Y’all!!<br /><br /> I tend to think what really happened is Scott stalked all of Ramona's exes, but since HE seems to be narrating this story, we'll never know what really happened or, DIDN'T.<br /> <br />Scott Pilgrim needs more honesty. how about tell it like this:<br /> <br />~Ramona is not as hot as she acts. she’s actually a clingy loser under it all, and she has HPV too, but nobody knows it.<br />~Scott it turns out is a serious pathological liar. period.<br />~Knives parents are divorced.(fuck that strict asian dad crap) her dad doesn’t even know she exists. and behind all that girly innocence shes a bitch.<br />~Wallace is an alcoholic.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-25003996376135028082013-12-21T20:07:37.659-05:002013-12-21T20:07:37.659-05:00The movie was ok (though a little stupid), but yea...The movie was ok (though a little stupid), but yeah, the fact they used the "WW Z" brand really pissed me off. The only thing they took from the book was the name and the plan Israel came up with, and they even messed up that. I hope someone someday comes up with an adaptation that actually does honor to the book, probably as a mini-series or an anime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-33662951719118643632013-12-21T20:02:40.804-05:002013-12-21T20:02:40.804-05:00I'm a big fan of studio Ghibli but I still hav...I'm a big fan of studio Ghibli but I still haven't seen their "Earthsea" film, the main reason being its bad reviews. I had no idea that it was originally a book trilogy (though most movies are originally a book). I might give them a try, thanks for bringing it to my attention.<br />I still remember "The Borrower Arriety", I watched it after you posted about it in your blog a while ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-77942309244414453702013-12-20T21:56:36.651-05:002013-12-20T21:56:36.651-05:00Looking at Tales of Earthsea, I am thinking of giv...Looking at Tales of Earthsea, I am thinking of giving it a chance be it either the animated movie or the book series, I need a new book series to read right now.<br /><br />Also hooray, you finally got around to reading the Scott pilgrim series. Since you read it in 2010 I have been waiting for you to experience these great graphic novels. While I love the movie, for me the graphic novels just seem to have more to offer and I am glad you got to read them.<br /><br />By the way , since you liked these books may I suggest his first graphic novel "Lost at Sea". <br />I will admit it is extremely different then scott pilgrim. Its about a teenage Canadian girl on a road trip back from California to Toronto with some of her classmates any the experiances they have. Also she has no soul. I will leave it at that. It is a well written story about growing up and I think you'd enjoy it.<br /><br />..................................................................................................................................................<br />Sword Of Primus<br /><br />P.S Never forgive the World War Z for how they insulted the books name. Any one could have written a better adaptation of that movie that train wreck. We were denied a civil war style firing circle shooting zombies with Iron Maiden blaring in the background.<br />That can never be forgiven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
