“You made me swallow my gum! That’s going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!”
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World plays midnights this weekend (September 29th and 30th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.
Take every genre that can be adapted into film, then go slightly beyond that, and you may find the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. British director Edgar Wright, after Shawn Of The Dead and before The World’S End, adapted Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Oni Press comic book of the same name about the eponymous slacker rocker and his colorful quest to defeat his dream girl’s seven evil ex-boyfriends. Wright captured the theme of the comic book, mixed in an aggressive visual style inspired by video games, amplified musical exchanges so they resonated like a live concert, and applied the physical laws of a Loony Tunes Cartoon.

Omg, we are huge fans of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series, so we were totally excited to talk with the series creator, Bryan Lee O’Malley — who you might also know from Seconds or Snot Girl or Lost at Sea.
Also, before we forget, if you are Scott Pilgrim fans too, you won’t want to miss the newly released Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Card Game put out by Renegade Game Studios and Oni Press. It’s a deck-building game by Keith Baker that has double sided cards with video-game-style combo moves unique to each character and life choices you’ll have to make about if you’ll solve your problems with hard work and empathy or video game violence. Such a tough choice.
So anyway, watch our interview with Bryan to find out who has influenced him, why he’s so funny, and what he has in store for us next.

This past weekend was the inaugural Five Points Festival at Pier 36 here in Manhattan. It’s a brand new fan convention organized by Clutter and Midtown Comics. The festival focused on comics and toys on the Saturday and Sunday, with the Designer Toy Awards Friday night, which is run by Clutter. I went with ComicMix’s own Molly Jackson, and we both ended up enjoying the show.
In honor of this being the Five Points Festival, here are my five points about the show.
Great comics guests for a first time show! Midtown Comics really stepped up to bring in a few out of towners like Bryan Lee O’Malley and James Tynion IV, local or pseudo local heavy hitters that don’t appear here too often like Greg Capullo and Sean Gordon Murphy, industry legends that go back to the dawn of the Bronze Age of comics like Joe Staton...

The most populous city in Canada has appeared on-screen in many different ways over the years.Enemy (2013)
There are many ways in which cities are portrayed in cinema. Sometimes cities are anonymous and nameless, and sometimes cities become characters in the films they are portrayed in. Cities can be merely incidental settings, or the specific locations within a city can be incredibly important both narratively and visually. The people within a city tend to represent the place itself: how they act, how they dress, where they work, how they speak, and what they eat. All of these things can be related to the place they live. Cities are home to an infinite multitude of experiences — people from different places, with different families, different wants and desires and identities.

Edgar Wright has never been one to shy away from a good conversation about movies—either those directed by other people, or himself. And so, when the Baby Driver director caught a showing of his own Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World last night on British TV, he hopped on Twitter to live-tweet the movie, and answer people’s questions about the film.
Wright didn’t reveal any deep, festering secrets about his adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved slacker/video game comedy (outside of the not-wholly surprising revelation, also discussed on the film’s commentary track, that test audiences were super torn on the movie’s end). But he did seem to have a lot of fun, dishing up little tidbits—noting, for instance, that Bill Hader voices the countdown near the movie’s end—and engaging in banter with co-star Mae Whitman about one of her ad-libbed...

When you look at how director Edgar Wright presented Scott Pilgrim vs the World for the big screen, you would think that the film adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley‘s graphic novel series would be pretty loyal to the source material. For the most part, that’s true. But since the screenplay by Michael Bacall went into […]

While Edgar Wright’s blissfully entertaining “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World” gets rightfully noticed for its narrative-pushing approach, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s source material is sometimes overlooked. And even as much as I loved the film, I still haven’t gotten around to the text, and I would imagine that might be the case for some of you as well. So how exactly does the film compare to the original six-volume series? Pretty well, according to Cinefix. Read More: The 50 Best Opening Credit Sequences Of All Time The latest edition of “What’s the Difference” reveals that although they both have their notable differences, Wright’s film and O’Malley’s graphic novels actually compliment one another. The general story frame is pretty much the same, with our titular plucky Canadian 20-something Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) having to muster up the courage to fight off the seven evil exes...

There was quite a bit of hype and expectation surrounding Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World when it was released back in 2010. Based on the hugely popular Bryan Lee O’Malley comic book, it also had, arguably, the world’s best young comedy director Edgar Wright overseeing a sensational ensemble cast. But then no one went to see it. Which means that, despite sterling reviews, Scott Pilgrim is very much a cult commodity now. That didn’t stop the good folks over at Honest Trailers from ripping it into smithereens though, which you can watch in all of its glory below. Thank the heavens for Edgar Wright’s resplendent visual flair and idiosyncratic way of telling jokes on screen. Because his style, which I’ll admit overwhelms the substance of Scott Pilgrim just a tad, also stopped me from every realising how much I hate ...

Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #4
Written by Kieron Gillen
Art by Jamie McKelvie (with backup stories by Julia Scheele and Luis Sopelana)
Colors by Matthew Wilson
Letters by Clayton Cowles
Published by Image Comics
In an ongoing story about music and image, it feels only appropriate that the intermission in the story directly borrows from a comic about bands, growing up, and superpowered fights that are not out of the ordinary.
If you can guess from the cover and the title “(Let’s Make This) Precious Little Life,” the fourth issue of Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl is one big Scott Pilgrim send up.
And it works.
The issue is focused around Lloyd (aka Mr. Logos) and Laura (aka Laura Black fka Laura Heaven), two of the central characters in the previous Phonogram arc “The Singles Club”. It has been a year and some change since the night that arc took place,...

Jughead #1
Written by Chip Zdarsky
Art by Erica Henderson
Letters by Jack Morelli
Published by Archie Comics
Erica Henderson and Chip Zdarsky’s incarnation of this classic Archie book launches the titular sidekick as the most unlikely of heroes. Zdarsky revives Archie’s sarcastic, egocentric best friend with his distinct brand of petulant humor. Though it may be classified as a ‘kids’ comic, Jughead potentially offers the most enjoyment for a different demographic. That is not to say Jughead lacks the intrinsic, whimsical joy found in other Archie books. Rather, Zdarsky’s not-so-subtle allusions are simply more likely to be appreciated by an audience familiar with mature pop-culture content.
Upon learning that the new principle, Mr. Stanger, has mandated only “high-nutrition gruel” be served at the cafeteria, Jughead dramatically falls unconscious. In an indulgent and unconventional poke at a certain popular fantasy drama, Jughead’s dream narrative, titled “Jughead in Game of Jones,...

10. Watchmen
How do you go about adapting a supposedly unadapatable text? While faithful translations tend not to artistically successful, a faithful adaptation with fetishistic attention to detail can create something unique. While Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller had it comparatively easy when adapting Miller’s Sin City to screen as they more or less would just be recreating paintings but with moving parts, Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation painstakingly recreated much of Alan Moore’s tome by hand, capturing much of Moore’s world in camera. Snyder creates a lived-in and breathing universe, a key part to selling the idea to the audience of this time-hopping opus about the natural decline of superheroism. Watchmen is often accused of being too literal, speaking in the language of comics instead of cinema, but it is precisely this literal approach that makes Watchmen a stellar page-to-screen success. By being a “literal” film, it becomes personal,...

There are many of definitions of comics out there. One French theorist Thierry Groensteen decided to not define comics, but instead create a system for them. Part of this system is the frame. The frame is a panel and its boundaries including the margins and gutters. The frame has various (actually six) functions. One of the functions of a frame is the rhythmic function. This is the part of the frame that deals with time and temporality. Groensteen compares this function of the frame to Jean-Luc Godard’s famous definition of film, which is “making music with painting”. Both comics and music have a similar kind of temporality. When one reads music, there are different time signatures as well as types of notes, rests, measure etc. to say how fast one should play the music and many other things. This kind of temporality can be found in comics with panels in a frame,...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Written by Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall
Directed by Edgar Wright
U.S.A., 2010
For those familiar with the work of English director Edgar Wright, saying he is adept at bending various genres should not come as a surprise. It would appear easy to label both Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End as spoofs, but each is boosted by genuine storytelling and character development which elevates them above the fray, whereas spoofs are primarily content with poking fun at the genres they tackle. In 2010 Edgar Wright chose to flex some directorial muscles in rather unorthodox ways with a silver screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Speaking of things unorthodox, the titular character’s universe is nothing like the what regular humans understand Nay, what appears on the surface to be a familiar pasture is in fact a candy-coloured...

When Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World debuted in 2010, I’ll admit it: I didn’t quite know what to make of it. Wright’s Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were clearly send-ups of their respective genres, but Pilgrim defied my expectations. Part videogame movie, part comic-book movie, and part coming-of-age story, Pilgrim, based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s award-winning graphic novel series, was a bold, singular […]...

Directed by Edgar Wright
USA, Canada, 2010
If a big-budget blockbuster opens, and nobody goes to see it, does it make a noise? In the case of 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, an ambitious adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s cult favorite graphic novel infusing youthful music obsession and arcade beat ‘em up nostalgia with a rich subtext surrounding young love’s fatality, the answer is a big yes. It also comes with a mood of “bright lights, big witty” and one of the most notable on-screen displays of visual flair in recent memory by a director clearly born to be a showman. Pity that most of the talk that went on at the spiritual after-party was why it failed quite so badly.

I’ve been a huge fan of Edgar Wright’s ever since I came across his brilliant zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead, way back in 2004. Since then, I’ve enjoyed seeing what he’s come up with over the years, which has included the hilarious satire of buddy cop movies Hot Fuzz and the outstanding Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series.
His next film, The World’s End, is meant as a conclusion to what has been called The Cornetto Trilogy or The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, which also includes Shaun and Hot Fuzz. The film follows “five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier and unwittingly become humankind’s only hope for survival.” Sounds just like the kind of situation that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would find themselves in,...

Fans of extreme Japanese cinema are already intimate with Kinji Fukasaku's still-controversial film Battle Royale, the bloody teenage survival epic based on a best-selling novel that spawned its own sequel and became the obvious inspiration for The Hunger Games. While it's been a staple in most fans' video collections, the film has never received any major theatrical screenings in the USA... until now. The web platform Tugg, which enables movie fans nationwide to set up screening events in their own home town, has teamed up with the Mondo artist collective and the Alamo Drafthouse to bring Battle Royale to theaters at last. Tugg recently added the film to their library, and Mondo artists Bryan Lee O'Malley and Kevin Tong created this wicked new poster art for the re-release, which will be provided to promoters of each screening for giveaways to attendees (while supplies last). Dig it! The first screening is already set to go,...

Bryan Lee O’Malley has announced at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle that his Scott Pilgrim, a six-volume black and white graphic novel series from Oni Press, will be reissued as a deluxe, resized, full-color hardcover series beginning this year. The colouring has been carried out by Nathan Fairbairn and judging by the preview images released so far this is going to be a fine excuse to re-read, what I consider one of the greatest comics books series ever.
In the press release, series editor James Lucas Jones goes on to explain the origins of these reissues;
“Everybody loves Bryan’s black-and-white artwork but after seeing the few color stories he did with Scott and the gang, it was hard to avoid imagining a ‘what if?’ scenario. Now those wild dreams have come true. And to have one of the best colorists in the industry at the helm, that just seals the deal.

Michael Bacall has survived in Hollywood for several years as an actor, but he’s currently making his big breakthrough behind the scenes as a screenwriter. After adapting Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World with director Edgar Wright, Bacall sculpted the story for Project X into a blockbuster comedy, and hopes to strike gold yet again with his big-screen update of 21 Jump Street, directed by Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs filmmakers Chris Miller and Phil Lord. On the eve of Jump Street’s premiere Monday night in Austin at the 2012 South by Southwest film festival, THR

After adapting Bryan Lee O’Malley's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World into an acclaimed but box office-deficient generational touchstone, screenwriter Michael Bacall seemed poised to become as much of a cult figure as the characters he helped bring to the screen. But he struck pay dirt over the weekend when the found-footage teen comedy Project X brought in more then $20 million at the box office, and reviews for 21 Jump Street posted early Monday (including THR's) were overwhelmingly positive.

‘Tis the season for comic book publishers to change their logos, don’t you think? One would certainly believe it is given the frequency at which their coming. In a press released posted earlier today, indie comics publisher Oni Press has unveiled a new company logo that will grace all future issues and will most likely grace their digital content in the future.
Independent comics publisher Oni Press is adopting a brand new look! Now a respected mainstay with a dedication to creator-driven comic books, Oni Press entered the publishing game late in 1997, at a time when the comic industry was down and conventional wisdom had suggested it would never bounce back. Over the next decade-and-a-half, the company beat the odds, producing a consistently successful line of comics and graphic novels while adapting to expanding markets and new technologies.

I have not read as many books as I wanted to this year, nor have I written about as many of the ones I did manage to read. (I didn’t manage to save as much from the flood as I would have liked, either; it’s a low-batting-average kind of year.) But the year is not over, and I can catch up on one of those fronts very quickly, viz:
I’ve devoted several thousand words over the past few years to the “Best American Comics” series — see my posts on the 2006 and 2007 and 2008 and 2009 editions — so perhaps I’ll be forgiven for not diving as deeply into the Neil Gaiman-edited 2010 edition. (Particularly since the 2011 book is out now, all shiny and new, so this is terribly old news.) Each editor shifts the material somewhat — Gaiman’s volume leads off with a long excerpt from the Jonathan Lethem...

We’re beyond psyched to see how traditionally understated Joe Wright ("The Soloist") directs his way around a full-tilt action vehicle when "Hanna" arrives in theaters on April 8. The film follows the story of a teenage girl (played by Saoirse Ronan, who Wright first worked with in “Atonement”) raised as an assassin by her ex-cia agent father Erik (the always delightful Eric Bana). Hanna’s father ultimately sends her on a quest that takes her across Europe, where she’s tailed by the agents of a mysterious operative (Cate Blanchett) and racks up a pretty epic body count in the process.
As if the idea of watching a badass chick's coming-of-age-by-kicking-major-butt story isn’t exciting enough, infamous British big beat duo The Chemical Brothers were commissioned to produce the film’s score. Beheadings, stabbings and beatings soundtracked to electronica? Yes, please!

#5 – Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)
Directed by Edgar Wright
The Comic:
Creator Bryan Lee O’Malley was inspired to create the series and eponymous character of Scott Pilgrim after listening to Canadian band Plumtree’s 1998 single “Scott Pilgrim”, a song then-Plumtree singer Carla Gillis describes as “positive, but…also bitter sweet.” In particular, O’Malley was inspired by the lyric, “I’ve liked you for a thousand years”. The graphic novel consists of six digest size black-and-white volumes, released between August 2004 and July 2010, by Portland-based independent comic book publisher Oni Press. The series is about 23-year-old Canadian Scott Pilgrim, a slacker and part-time musician who lives in Toronto and plays bass guitar in the band Sex Bob-omb. He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona Flowers, but must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her.

2010 was an unremarkable year in Film; brilliance was isolated. Prominently a year of superb acting: Leonardo DiCaprio gleamed in both Shutter Island and Inception; The Social Network had the most outstanding cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Rooney Mara; Ryan Reynolds’ performance piece in Buried; Emma Stone’s iconic teen role in Easy A; Chloe Grace Moretz’s beautiful evil in Let Me In and Hailee Steinfeld robust close-up in True Grit. Also, good direction excelled voluminously in films by Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Edgar Wright and the Coen Brother’s.
Sadly, there were only sporadic injections of greatness in film; at this moment in cinema there should be a bastion of inspiration – with the complexity of the world, ideas and contemporary special effects.
