At the risk of joining the bandwagon on this topic, I watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World this weekend and
I loved it! I confess I have only recently flipped through the comic at Borders, so I am not sure how faithful it is to the comic but in this instance I really wanted to see the movie first. It’s beautifully whimsical amalgam of comic book effects, video game action and relationship angst played right to my sensibilities. It is easily the best movie I have seen this year. I am looking forward to reading the source material.
Also, I seriously considered doing a Scott Pilgrim parody comic for today however, not only was I beaten to the punch by Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content, but his comic made me laugh for about 20 minutes.
If you ever have a chance to visit the Chocolate Cafe in Fort Collins, I promise it will be a great experience. Best hot chocolate ever!
TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1: INTERIOR RESTAURANT
HOLLY: We have been friends for a long time, so you know I say this with love... It's time to move on.
BRANDON: But Karen and I were married for nine years...
Panel 2:
HOLLY: And you have been divorced for nine months. And all this time you have been clinging to the delusion that the two of you would get back together somehow, but she is gone. Literally and figuratively. Mourning time is over, Brand. You need to get on with your life.
BRANDON: I don't know... I just don't know if I am ready.
Panel 3:
Their waitress arrives with their dessert orders.
HOLLY: You need to socialize, you need to meet people. You need to go on dates. You need sex...
HOLLY: ...Good God! Do you need sex.
Panel 4:
BRANDON: Look Holly, I got used to things being a certain way. There was a expectation. I don't know how to adapt to change just like that. (He snaps his fingers)
Panel 5:
Holly reaches over and switches their dessert orders so she now has his order in front of her.
BRANDON: Hey! What are you doing? That was mine...
Panel 6:
HOLLY: (happily munching on Brandons dessert) Things change. Now adapt, pussy.
