May 18 2009Nitpicky Nerds Have Nothing on 'Scott Pilgrim'
Edgar Wright has posted another video blog update on the progress of his Scott Pilgrim adaptation, and once again I'm astounded by the ridiculous detail he's gone through to accurately replicate the wardrobe, locations, and even exact panels from the graphic novel series. Like Sin City and Watchmen, this looks like it's going to be a movie where you'll want to make sure to read the comics beforehand so, later, you can experience the joy of smacking your friend's arms in the theater and shouting, "Holy shit, that's just like that part in the comic!" Except your friend doesn't even know what you're talking about; they've had The Dark Knight Returns borrowed for about a year-and-a-half and it's obvious they aren't going to read it or any of your other recommendations. What an asshole.

ts crazy I know but i would never have equated the phrase "astounded by ridiculous detail" with a lamely drawn panel comic.

I doubt anyone will be smacking their friends' arms and exclaiming anything in the theater for this one. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks good and I like that concept, but it hardly seems like something where it's success would hinge on details like that.

O'Malley is a tall guy who draws fun comics. I want to hang out with them, but I WOULD be "that asshat."

I have a hard time believing anybody who's not already a fan is going to see this flick, but here's hoping. And I'm nerdgasming over all the wardrobe details they're keeping from the books.
