A few Fridays ago, a little movie called Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was released to theaters. Before that particular Friday, I had heard little-to-nothing about the film, but had heard a few things about the graphic novel series upon which it was based in this article, which documents 25 of its biggest video game references (a very informative read by-the-way).

I read through the article but knew nothing of what the books were about. Then the movie comes out, and there are some raves about it on Facebook, so I decide to take a look at the trailer:

Instantly, I connect the article with the movie and think to myself… I HAVE to watch this movie! So, what do I do? That same Friday in which it was released, I look up the soonest showtime, and decide to go watch the movie by myself. And I tell you, there’s nothing like a morning movie to put some pep in your step!

Here’s an avatar I made using the Scott Pilgrim Avatar Creator:

Anyhow, the movie is absolute brilliance! The sounds! The colors! The effects! The characters! The fighting sequences! The music! It just all came together in this masterful fusion that is original, unique, and supremely entertaining. (Now you probably think I’m overselling it) …maybe I am. But I DID love this movie. What did you think?
