Movie club: I really like Scott Pilgrim vs the World

[Ranger Dan]

I’m not young and hip, but dig the video game like fight scenes and am a sucker for lighthearted romantic movies. Does this qualify as a guilty pleasure or is it a legitimately good movie.

It's in the 80's on Rotten Tomatoes, so qualifies as a solid movie. Not like you said you enjoyed Howard the Duck.

It’s not good - IT’S FVCKING GREAT. Cast alone was way ahead of the curve with early roles for Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin, Brandon Routh, Michael Cera, Ellen Wong (Knives Chau!), and Mary Elizabeth Wansted. The Brie Larson/Clash at Demonhead performance of Metric’s Black Sheep rules.



Also: ‘Bread makes you fat!?’

I’d add Edgar Wright’s new noir/time travel/thriller ‘Last Night in Soho’ looks pretty good - cast led by Anya Taylor-Joy and ‘Jojo Rabbit’ standout Thomasin McKenzie.

Oh man, you had to bring up Howard the Duck. You just crushed all the great 80’s movies in one sentence. How dare you.

Like The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension?

Yeah, I saw a preview for that already. The lead actress was from Queens Gambit and the lead actor is from The Crown.

Love this film. Thanks for posting

That's one of those movies where I have no explanation for why I like it, I just do.

Do I ask Alexa or you for the channel?
Seems like everyone's on board, I'd like to take a peek.

It was on a premium cable channel today. It’s not that new so you should find it somewhere
