Well the Scot Pilgrim movie is out in DVD (Or Blu ray for those of you fancy ass rich foke ... or people who own a PS3) and it's funny a lot of people are shocked it didn't do that well...
This is MY opinion...
I HATE Michel Cera......
I have not liked (Border line HATED) ANY of his movies (That I've seen and the ones I haven't look even worse!) and I don't care what you do him or what movie they have him in I will always HATE LOUTHE AND DISPISE everything he represents.
The sad thing is I have really gotten in to the Scot Pilgrim comics, and a lover of old school games and comics and one of the first images I ever found relating to the comics was a splash page made to look like the Double Dragon game cover, and while I am not a big fan of anything involving romance the concept of the whole 7 ex boyfriends being homage to the old videogames having seven bosses was pretty baddassed!
See growing up as an anime/comic/videogame fan I have been made fun of.....
a lot.......
TONS!
I mean hell I was in Labor Ready watching some Kamen Rider with a random anime fan/watcher I'd meat there and you would hear "Oh look that guys watching POWER RANGERS!" "I wish I could watch me some POWER RANGERS and maybe even some POKEMONZ AS WELL!"
It's always funny the people watching it with me (After I have to explain the history of Tokusatsu and what role it plays in the Japanese culture) always find those comments just as stupid as me.
Add to that I was home schooled I have been fighting the stereotype of being a nerd/loser/DandD player my entire life) comments that range from
"You know girls don't REALLY look like that right?"
"I guess he didn't get the job because he didn't make his SAVING THROW!!!"
"Man being a nerd I bet you've never had to worry about having a girl friend huh?"
And it's always ironic that I can get more women flirting with me, get laid, and I have actually made out with two girls at the same time lets see many other "Non nerd" types say that!
So when I started reading About the whole Scot Pilgrim comic it looked so awesome to see a character that basically is a guy who most people think is a nerd but doesn't give a crap...
Then I go back to looking at the movie...and what do I see?
Michael Ceras girly assed face basically ANNOUNCING to the world...
Look at me I'm a sad week powerless pathetic looser who was born with a vagina, or at least my balls haven't dropped yet who is just a step above Justin Bieber in the macho scale, and here I am in a movie that's says see this is what all gamer/ anime fans/comic book fans are ALL like
So I'll read the comics play the game (they REALLY should have made a version for PSP) buy (Comic related) T-Shirts and action figures, but ANYTHING related to the movie....
Forget it!
I'll pay a buck to rent it from Redbox that's IT!
See I don't care if Michel Cera dose the best acting of his career in that movie, it's STILL Michel Cara with that little whiny no testosterone voice of his, and remember he makes enough money that if he's paid a million dollars to act he'd BETTER do a good job in it!
I've thought long and hard to think about who would have made a better Scot Pilgrim, sadly my knowledge of young actors is rather limited, but I think even Shyla Boof (How ever you spell that douches name I dunno) would have done a better job
Personally my vote would have been for Seth Green, not the BEST choice I know be ANYONE would have been better that pussy/emowannabe dude!
To counteract all this Anti male, nerd crap I have a story cooking in the back my head called "How to be a Baddass"
But I'm not all that good at writing comedy, and struggling with weather it should be anthro story or not, but basically it's about a dude who doesn't hide from his geeky ness at all and also worships action heroes from the 80's like Chuck Norris and Dolf Laundrum....
But like I said I'm not very good at writing anything other than action, and should it be in web comic format or what.....
Any way
That's my rant and remember to every anime fan /Gamer out there who was born with a penis...
You ARE allowed to be a Baddass!
Donut out!
