Scott Pilgrim vs. the Critics: Another Battle

Justine: The first word that comes to mind when the name Scott Pilgrim is spoken: Awesome. It's a movie based on a video-game that's based on a comic. How could that formula be anything but awesome? Video-game themed, action-packed, and full of humor, it's definitely one of the best movies we've seen in a while. The Hater and I both agree on that. But, that's all we'll be agreeing on for majority of this post. We're gonna have another battle. Today's match: Todd Ingram vs. Matthew Patel, an Evil X showdown.

The Hater: Before I write anything else, I have to stop you (let the disagreeing begin). Are you forgetting about The Prince of Persia? Video game adaption. And we both hated on that one. Also, I'm going to put a picture here. Even though Justine (who thinks I put way too many pictures in my posts) will grit his teeth when he sees it.

Oh, yeah. 

Justine: Sure, this guy had vegan powers, but did he have hippie chicks? Was he S-L ick? Did he dress like a pirate? No! Patel was awesome!  He had that weird way of moving his head, the crazy hairstyle, the awesome entrance.

The Hater: No, he didn't have hippie chicks. But Todd Ingram's (ve-gone guy) scenes contained some of the funniest lines in the movie ( "I partake not in the meat, nor the breastmilk, nor the ovum, of any creature, with a face.")  And he a kind of slur to his voice, which is WAY better than a weirdly moving head. Way.


Justin: What about the dance and song? And the hand gestures? Just watch that scene again. It's awesome. I'm Mathew Patel (weird gesture)!
