/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Yes, and it was probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

Read the graphic novels.

yes, it was shit

watched it, hated it

People who think they're just like the lead character probably liked it

I thought he was a drippy twerp

God awful soundtrack too

>>36792876
I hated it, but
>>36792902
is a massive excaggeration unless he's seen very few movies

>>36792924
>>36792902
>>36792936
>>36792937
that's because you know nothing about other forms of art besides music (I am implying you know anything about music)

>>36792876
Yes. Pretty good 6/10. , 9/10 if you count musical authenticity.

>>36792902
Kill yourself.

>>36792956
0/10, poor form, no subtlety

>>36792956
no, it's genuinely not a very good film. fuck off, assuming I know more about music than anything else

>>36792936
i thought he was a drippy twerp but loved it overall. in some way i think you're supposed to realize how pathetic he is. plus it's really well-directed and funny and i appreciated it.

It was enjoyable to say the least. Of course the story is not too much but the visual and audio are the main points.

The particular thing that I liked about this movie is the /mu/ appearances.

>an epic of epic epicness

this alone tells me I probably won't like it

>>36793032

Had the same thoughts initially when a bro suggested me to watch it. Although nothing groundbreaking, I found it quite an enjoyable ride.

Knives > Ramona

>>36792956
hey, I'm only here because /tv/ is an insufferable board. I don't want to sound like a knob, but I'm willing to bet I (and many others in this thread) know a little more about film than your defensive pre-teen ass.
The film reminded me of Kick-ass, but restricted to a PG-13 rating and a legion of fans that don't realize it's making fun of hipster culture.

>>36793032
it's definitely better than that tagline. it was advertised really badly.

it was directed by the guy who did sean of the dead and hot fuzz, and as a result the directing is really solid and snappy. and it's really well-cast and, i think, well-written.

obviously it's not a serious art film of serious art, but it's hella fun and well-made and has a nice soundtrack. i don't know why it's getting so much hate here, other than disdain for faux-indie things maybe? i don't know.

>>36793012
holywood trash

The comic books were so, so much better. I really recommend you guys read them, there's 6 volumes and they take like less than an hour each to read.

>>36793018
>this guy gets it

>>36793097
that's because the movie was written with an ending that has him go with knives but that ending utterly failed in test screenings so they added a ramona ending to a movie that'd been building up to him ending up with knives the entire time and as a result didn't build ramona's character up well enough

but kim > all

>>36793153
It made me so sad that they didn't do the books justice, especially since the cast was 95% perfect.

>>36793158
>mfw Kim and Knives make out

>>36793175
Yeah I was more excited for this movie than, well, any other movie that's ever come out and it ended up being just ok.

>>36793158
This actually makes a lot of sense.

>>36793192
Kim is awesome.

I liked it. It's one of my favourite movies. It's definitely flawed but that just makes it closer to my heart.

>>36793288
;-;

>tfw Scott is 22 and Knives 17
>tfw I'm 22 and she's 17

I will never forgive the director for not getting Times New Viking to do the music, which is what O'Malley wanted

>>36793373
I think the hand-painted film slides in the opening credits are a redeeming quality. Probably couldn't have them on because of the royalties to use "Under My Thumb"

>>36793575
The soundtrack was god-tier though. Beck wrote the Sex Bob-Omb songs which were awesome and there's a bunch of cool shit like Plumtree and Beulah and Broken Social Scene in there.

>>36793373
o'malley is happy as shit that beck ended up doing it though

it's one of his favorite things in the world

>>36793623
>>36793652
Yeah it's good but I'm a sucker for Times New Viking

this is one of my favourite movies of all time
everyone else can fuck off

Yeah.. It was shit a decent 2 at best..

>movie makes fun of self-important hispters

>/mu/ hates it

Gee, i wonder why.

>>36792902
Well you're a faggot and I'm glad we'll never be friends

I just knew this would open the gate for people to be all edgy like "lol bad movie XD" when it's clearly not

>>36793012
Scott Pilgrim obviously isn't hollywood trash though for teens though, it's too dorky for most people to get into but 'trying too hard' or le stupid for the mega dork types. It embodies the unique art style and characterisation of the comics really well in live action form, the visuals and art are what make the film.

>>36794194
Ye cause he must be a faggot if he doesn't dig your quirky canadian teen flicks

>>36792876
Not my favourite movie of all time, but it was a lot of fun.

Scott was pretty badass in the comics, and they cast him as Michael Cera. It doesn't make sense.

I liked it but I wouldn't say it was great
It's just that movie that you watch in closed doors cause your pleb friends might see you watching it and try to join in

>>36794268

XD

>>36794376
but watching movies with friends is nice

>>36794423
But they're plebe dude

>>36794456
Oh yeah, I forgot people from /mu/ are always superior. Sorry.

>>36794456
wow you seem like a fun guy to be around

mmhm, I have
without a shadow of a doubt the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching
pseudo-irony bullshit for epic reddit teens

>>36794479
Yeah I am

>>36794456
>Scott Pilgrim
>Not a plen film

It's number three in my top five favorite movies. I love it, regardless of how many people say it's >pleb.

It was fun. Probably the only movie with Michael Cera in it that I like.

>you will never have Scott's bass

>mfw /mu/ is exactly the same about films as they are about music

I want to vomit.

just leave

Edgar Wright's direction was great.

The characters and plot were loathesome, just like the comics.

>>36794612
>feel superior
>implying I don't already know i'm superior

>>36794656
>characters... were loathesome

That's the point, to an extent. Scott is SUPPOSED to be a selfish bitch from the start. It gives him room to grow. Who else did you not like?

>>36794663
>thinking you're superior to someone

I hope you're just trolling.

>>36794704
>not thinking you're superior to anyone

I hope you're not this beta irl

Most people around here, if they like or dislike a movie, will give specific reasons why.

But whenever someone mentions Scott Pilgrim around here, it's always, always vague statements of "I liked it" and "It was pretty good". No elaboration, even though most 4chan users love to elaborate on stuff.

What's the deal with this?

>>36794721
>calling someone beta because they don't make themselves out to be superior

We can go round and round, but at the end of it you're still the dickhead.

>>36794728
Because they're scared to go into details that might get them ripped on.

>>36794728
>Most people around here, if they like or dislike a movie, will give specific reasons why

Citation needed. Most people just shout their opinions without any further explanation, in my experience

>>36794694
Pretty much all the characters for being self-centered narcissists who are, there's no other word for it, hipster 20-somethings.

And that's part of the problem, I don't care enough about Scott Pilgrim from the start to want to see him change. And what does it ultimately matter when the people around him are just as unlikeable?

>>36794728
it's not bad but yeah i cant really say why.
the comic is a lot better though

>>36794770
That's hardly ever to the vagueness of the Scott Pilgrim fandom, and even if someone's just shouting their opinion around here, it's at least expressed with more conviction.

>>36794767
I really hope you're just yanking my chain

If you don't think you're superior to anyone in any way, you must have really low self-esteem
Everyone is good at something anon, you must have some sort of talent

>>36794796
They're SUPPOSED to be self-centered hipster 10-somethings. I wouldn't call it straight-up satire, but it is poking fun at the "hipster" culture that we live in.

If anything, though, I'd say that the two characters that didn't follow this stereotype were Knives and [mostly] Ramona, which would be the two biggest catalysts for him to change since they're the love interests. Personally, I think it matters for him to change because he has the chance to change with two separate people, and it's great to see that he follows up and does stop being such a complete asshole... again, mostly, but I think any pretentiousness from him past the 3/4 mark of the film is just Cera's performance.

>>36794857
Of course I do. I'm a pretty talented and creative musician. That doesn't mean I'm superior to anyone who isn't as talented, though. Because I'm not an asshole that thinks that way.

>>36794971
>I'm a pretty talented and creative musician
What a fucking ego.

>>36794997
>That doesn't mean I'm superior to anyone who isn't as talented, though.

Can you even read?

>>36792876
It's my guilty pleasure.
Edgar Wright really knows what he's doing, though.

>>36793097
Based on what?!

>>36794971
I like you.

>>36795081

>>36794971
The hipster satire is all well and good, but coupled with the romance and action stuff, it reads more like a bizarre wet dream from the guy who wrote it.

Maybe I'd like it better if they ditched the whimsy of it and just made it a straight-up hipster satire piece, like a younger version of The Comedy.

I saw it with some friends and it sucked.

Scott Pilgrim is a shitty film, funny to watch.

There's nothing to add about it, but reading some of your comments, I think I will.

The plot is nothing but a simplistic, stupid one, carried by decisions made by stupid, irritating characters, exploiting their personas to exaggeration to add a cartoonish effect, which takes down in one shot every piece of seriousness there could be to appreciate in the story.

Technically it made no innovation whatsoever, there's no mise en scene, there's obviously a camera, but there's no cinematography; all the visuals are depending on special effects, which are as exaggerated as the characters. If anything, the edition is invisible (mostly thanks to special effects[/lel]) and the sound design / soundtrack do their jobs.

Of course the themes and patterns are *hip* and *under-culture* so tumblr hipsters and neingag will love it. I don't hate it.

By this time, you better just watch Transformers; but that had Linkin Park, a barbie girl and the streets of New York, material not worthy of gifs in Tumblr and photography in Instagram.

>>36795109
I think that's what turns off a lot of people to the film. That is, the fact that it's not a straight-up satire and is in fact an action-romance film. Which is honestly fine, really, but I saw it when I was sixteen and didn't give two shits about satire, so all I saw was a really cool action movie with a bitchin' soundtrack and that guy from Nick & Norah not being a total bitch. Now that I look a little more deeply at it, though, I can appreciate it for both sides, but I can COMPLETELY see why someone wouldn't appreciate either side: the satirical side or the fun side. Which, again, is totally fine. I just dig it.

>>36795083
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

>>36795232
I'm being serious, dude.

>Nick & Norah
holy fuck I forgot about that. Now that was bad.

>>36795310
Yeah, it's not the best. I respect it for getting me to listen to more than generic scene kid screamo and "post-hardcore," though.

... middle school was rough.

>>36792956

fucking LOL

>>36795168
Nah, you're a dumb cunt.

It was pretty awful and cringeworthy at times.

I cannot even blame Michael Cera. The fucking source material is absolute garbage. Not even Edgar Wright could save it, even though the Edgar Wright moments were actually funny.

I liked it.

Scott Pilgrim will forever go down as something with mixed reception.

I liked it.
