“Now you listen close and you listen hard, bucko. The next click you hear is me hanging up. The one after that…is me pulling the trigger!”

Edgar Wright on the set of Scott Pilgrim vs The World
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of him without a huge smile on his face. This is strange and sad.
The Alamo Drafthouse presents Edgar Wright Live! by Kevin Tong
I can’t even go over all the awesome things happening at the opening of the new Drafthouse in Austin this weekend because I’m too depressed I won’t be there. You’ll have to read it for yourself.

Oh Wallace, you little scamp.
Smartly edited mashup of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
“When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, he wasn’t creating a novel directly concerned with advertising and the rise of the modern media, but one of the first books in which those elements were part of the accepted fabric of everyday life. His characters bought movie magazines at newsstands and discussed the faces in advertising hoardings in much the same way that the sweetly violent love story in Scott Pilgrim unfolds against a background of couch-based multiplayer sessions, tangled controller leads, and more elaborate fourth-wall references such as floating health bars, experience points, and pixelated 1-Up tokens. Scott Pilgrim works so well because these elements are unquestioned – they’re part of the modern world, and therefore they’re part of the comic book world too, and much of the series’ impact comes from the fact that they aren’t treated as novelties.”
Nice analysis.

Kieran Culkin was my favorite, I think. Why isn’t he in more things? We missed you, Igby!
Tonight’s feature! It was fun! You should go see it!
