Scott Pilgrim: A. Might have been an A+ if there was a little more after the final credits. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 20:03 17
- It's still going to bomb. -- nm - ceregon Jul 28, 20:36 9
  - Just like the A+ flick Speed Racer. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 20:41 7
    - [deleted]
    - Yeah, David is saying how it will be influential but at least from the trailer it looks like it borrows a lot from Speed Racer to me. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 20:44 5
      - Pretty much no commonality other than kinetic. -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:46 4
        
        I would imagine it'll be be one of those "love it" or "hate it" flicks like Speed. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 20:50 3
        
        Speed was awesome. Speed Racer made me feel like my mind was raped by skittles. -- nm - ceregon Jul 28, 20:59 1
        
        Whoa. -- nm - Keanu Reeves Jul 28, 21:01

  - *giggle* -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:41
- Average ST grade thus far: A-! It's the sleeper hit of the summer. -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:10 6
  - Though for ST, it would be tough to say that it qualifies as a sleeper - JD Jul 28, 20:18 5
    - It's like Run Lola Run with quick cut bios. People are going to be copying it indefinitely. -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:21 4
      - And the A- grade holds through four votes! -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:22 3
        
        I still think it will not open huge. BUT...I think word of mouth will give it some legs. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 20:25 2
        
        way more likely to drop like a stone. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 20:29
        
        In perspective, $15M would roughly double the combined openings of Wright's two prior films. -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:28

- I wouldn't be able to resist adding a "t" sound at the end. -- nm - nubby Jul 28, 19:46 1
  - or an s at the front. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 23:06
And so the annual great t-shirt hunt begins... - MojaveMeg Jul 28, 19:44 5

- More like Scooby than Marmaduke. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 20:46
- And of course 3D - amoxy Jul 28, 19:33 1
  - I liked Fat Albert as a kid and the movie was an abomination. -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 28, 19:34
- That looks like Casablanca next to Marmaduke. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 19:30 4
  - or Scott Pilgrim -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 19:31 3
    - I don't know if Scott Pilgrim is going to be Casablanca, but OK. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 20:14 1
      - Ramona Flowers is the new Ilsa! -- nm - David Jul 28, 20:16
