Yeah, this just means that instead of avoiding spoilers from when I wake up Wednesday until lunch Wednesday, I’ll have to avoid spoilers from 9pm Tuesday until lunch the next day. I could theoretically watch them Tuesday night but by the time 9pm rolls around I’m usually either in the middle of watching or playing…

It’s funny since I’ve seen a number of Kyle Gordon’s videos before this and most of them were pretty meh. Not bad, just not hilarious. So I can totally understand why he’d want to take advantage of one of them going viral and overdoing the joke, I like to think he knows it’s overdoing it but has to do it anyway.

I think part of the fun of “Planet of the Bass” is following the video as its developed in the last month

Absolutely - I remember this movie coming out in 2010 when I was 22 (since I saw the movie before I read the books) and seeing Mary Elizabeth Winstead with that hair just put hearts in my eyes. Like, at this point it’s basically a stereotype and it’s kinda funny looking back at how often I see colorfully dyed hair now…

The movie was considerably more accessible than the books, definitely. I’d say most people who enjoyed the movie and didn’t, like, really love it would probably be best served just sticking with the movie (though that’s true of almost all film adaptations of books). And you’re right that Edgar Wright is a big part of…

Yeah, it absolutely wouldn’t be easy, but seeing the lengths they go to for, like, the Avengers movies, they can figure it out if they put their minds to it. Maybe the solution involves prop guns without the capability to fire live rounds (like you said), maybe CG plays a part, I don’t know. I just feel like needing…

Dude what are you talking about? Facebook sucks. Meta sucks. I’m not defending them or saying that Snapchat has done anything to the same degree as them but you’re the only one talking about Facebook out of nowhere, for no reason.

I’m all for practical effects over CG where it makes sense but considering all we’re capable of creating out of thin air, it seems silly that we’re still using real guns that have the capability of hurting anyone in 2023. I guarantee that if they were willing to spend a little money to potentially protect people, they…

That’s a good point, absolutely - what the books do and do not choose to focus on is at least partially representative of what’s important to Scott at any given time. And there’s a meta aspect of it too, as it even shows in the article the “I came out in volume 5 but you seemed busy so I didn’t tell you” line.

I’ve been donating regularly for several years now and I get livid if they’re out of the Mini Oreos. May as well have just stayed home.

How dare Meta and Twitter X be the only bad social media companies, pointing out that anyone else does anything bad or undesirable for their users must be sponsored content for the big guys.

If I were reading/watching Scott Pilgrim for the first time now, in my mid-30s, I don’t think I’d get it either, but when the movie came out I was 22, the same age-ish as the characters. I was nothing like the characters (I don’t really care about music, I had just moved and so I didn’t have any friends nearby, etc)…

The reason why Stephen Stills didn’t come out as gay in the movie, as is mentioned here, is because they didn’t have time to adapt almost anything from the last book in the movie (they had to shoot the “Scott stays with Ramona” ending at the last minute to replace their original “Scott gets back together with Knives”…

Also keep in mind that the last book wasn’t released until a few months before the movie was (and only the first three were when they wrote the first screenplays), the original ending was Knives and Scott getting back together but they nixed it last minute and filmed a new ending that was closer to what was in the…

True, but keep in mind that they’re only doing the voices they already did in the live action movie. They don’t need a ton of range in order to do what they’ve already done.

Well, we see the picture of Lucas Lee skateboarding and it’s daytime (like the book) rather than nighttime (like the movie). So that’s one little thing.

Yeah, like the first picture from the slideshow, with Scott and Matthew Patel - it looks a lot like the same shot from the movie:

It’s hard to say based on just the trailer, but I’m not seeing any of the movie-only early story beats (Scott actually dating Knives, for example). Most of what’s in the trailer is pretty similar in both of them. There’s a shot of Roxy and Ramona fighting, but that happens in both the book and the movie (though…

I agree it’s not a good argument, I was just saying to the other person that one could make the argument. Palpatine grooming Anakin is a much more clear cut case.

Yeah exactly. Obi-Wan was a Master by the time Attack of the Clones started but that was several years after the end of The Phantom Menace.
