Scott Pilgrim vs. the World came out 15 years ago

The Bear was last week

>>212423029
should have went topless

Saw it in theaters with my first girlfriend when we were 18, we loved it. I’m 33 now, makes me sad to look back on my childhood. I think no matter how things turned out for me I would feel some level of regret or longing for a different life.

Great movie anyway, still holds up imo

>>212423029
grim

>>212423620
That’s the human condition, especially in a world saturated with wealth/status/fame obsession. Our media-obsessed culture has conditioned everyone to believe that no life is ever good enough.

>>212423029
hot, so long as she keeps her socks on

>>212422935 (OP)
Really well shot film

This film reminds me of a girl in my AV class back in high school because she mentioned it one. She kinda looked like MEW in this film, without the weird hair color. I was attracted to her and she noticed and I think she liked me as well but she had a boyfriend. She moved away like a month after we started school. We talked once on Facebook, it was nice.

>>212424209
I just checked her LinkedIn, she has blue hair now

>>212422935 (OP)
Poor Brie she's really fucked up. Due to a job I got to meet her in Santa Monica. She's almost a leaving Los Vegas level drunk. As she drank vodka as soon as she woke up and finished the bottle by noon, and kept drinking all day. The whole week was like that.

>>212423620
Are you me? Only I'm two years older than you. God, those were some great times. How did it end up like this bros?

>>212423029
The stunt casting in this show had reached self parody levels. Everything about this episode felt like an SNL skit or something, just a nonstop parade of random celebrities popping up as Carmy's relatives

Brie cute?

Reminder that you will never be as young again as you are now. You think you're old at 33, but at 43 you'll wonder why you didn't do x y and z at 33. Wake up and go after what you want. Otherwise 10 years from now you'll wonder why you didn't do it 10 years ago.

>>212422935 (OP)
Except for Young Neil, I despised every person in that cast of characters.

>>212422935 (OP)
Saw it with my gf in the theater and she's my wife now. We've seen Metric twice.

>>212427050
fuck your wife

>>212422935 (OP)
And so did I!

>Scott Pilgrim, a 23-year-old bass player for unsuccessful indie garage band Sex Bob-Omb, is dating Knives Chau, a 17-year-old high-school student
what the fuck...

>>212422935 (OP)
It would have been a success if released around 10 years later, normie audience was far more into gayming by then

>>212427050
There should be a non-creepy general on some board for anons who are actually stable.

Had a similar experience but we aren't really Metric fans. Cheers!

>>212423620
I was 16 and time really does fly. This movie isn't high art or anything, but it really is amazing how little pop culture has changed since 2010.

>>212427576
it also would have been complete shit. one of those tradeoffs in life

>>212427576
You are dumb as fuck my dude, the comic was a product of 2000s hipster culture and was dated by the time the movie came out.

>>212422935 (OP)
She was as unattractive then as she is now. No matter how many bullshit threads you make, she's fucking gross.

>>212422935 (OP)
and all the actors on it were willing to work for peanuts to work with Edgar Wright again, even just as voice actors

>>212429394
looks like michael jackson

>>212427006
not those anons but i'm 33 and i needed to hear this. thank you

>>212427398
17 is legal in the vast majority of the USA, let alone the rest of the world

>>212422935 (OP)

Is it possible live the sort of lifestyle presented in the movie today? Being around mostly other young people, working part-time, going to tons of concerts and coffee houses, etc?

I mean, all the big Canadian cities are owned by rich overseas investors and overrun with Pajeets. The Pacific Northwest in the USA was ruined by tech guys and insanely expensive.

I remember being in college and a friend putting this movie on for our group and at one point towards the end one of them looked at me and said "look at the video game references we know you like video games anon so figured you'd love this".
Didn't have the heart to tell them it was the gayest shit I'd ever seen, but it allowed me to self reflect enough to almost immediately stop playing video games cold turkey after seeing it
It's the same level of bad as Dogma, which turned atheist edgy me into a hardcore Christian by virtue of how awful it was so in a weird way I appreciate these shit movies

>>212431473
You can pretty much anywhere in North America/Europe but you have to be fine living in essentially a trap house or get some rent support from your parents.
Dicking around and hanging out with other young people and going to shows for the cool bands they were in was basically college for me in Austin. I was pretty burnt out on that vibe by the end of it - a lot of those people are dorks with tall poppy syndrome who try hard to be cool but tear anybody down who (ironically) does not conform to their idea of what a nonconformist looks like. Kinda fun and you get laid a bunch but I barely talk to any of those people now. In retrospect, I wish I just made good friends and played D&D or joined a recreational soccer club or something instead.

puta

>>212432222
I hate you normals

>>212432222

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is my favorite movie. I especially like when he gets the video game super powers and the sword. He's literally me.

I still find Mary Elizabeth Winstead super fucking hot

>>212431473
Why didn't they make her a redhead?
Fuck

>>212427398
imagine saving this I fucking hate zoomers so much

>>212422935 (OP)
She has Asuka hair, except the parts on the side where her ears are need to be pulled back or cut off

>>212424602
Yes I could tell by her skin when I watched the OP episode that something other than aging was going on.

Of course it wouldn't stop me from railing the shit out of her. She can drink during if she wants.

>>212435794
She'd still be an uninteresting charisma vacuum. Why bother?

>>212427398
you were clearly never involved in any local music scene ever. this is pretty much par for the course

>>212436109
She unironically had more charisma as Envy than she did in any role I've seen her in since, including her Oscar role.

>>212427398
When I see shit like this it makes me hope for a solar flare or something to fry every single wireless network on earth. Cell phones were the worst fucking invention ever foisted on mankind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

>The following conversation occurred between two operators of the American telegraph line between Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine, on the night of 2 September 1859 (as reported in the Boston Evening Traveler):

Boston operator (to Portland operator): "Please cut off your battery [power source] entirely for fifteen minutes."

Portland operator: "Will do so. It is now disconnected."

Boston: "Mine is disconnected, and we are working with the auroral current. How do you receive my writing?"

Portland: "Better than with our batteries on. – Current comes and goes gradually."

Boston: "My current is very strong at times, and we can work better without the batteries, as the aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately, making current too strong at times for our relay magnets. Suppose we work without batteries while we are affected by this trouble."

Portland: "Very well. Shall I go ahead with business?"

Boston: "Yes. Go ahead."

The conversation was carried on for around two hours using no battery power at all and working solely with the current induced by the aurora, the first time on record that more than a word or two was transmitted in such manner.[27]

Might not have the effect you expect.

Its pretty ridiculous. Depending on the state age of consent may be 17, so not really an issue. That doenst necessarily make it a good idea but that isnt in the purview of others to decide. People are allowed to make bad decisions. Just because you dont like those decision does not mean you get to harass others for them. There are all kinds of things in the world that perfectly legal but yet also may be a idea, why is this one thing any different than those. For example, If you tried to shame someone like this for gambling in a casino, YOU would be escorted by the police not the gambler

>>212431650
Rage or you really are a doofus contrarian.

>>212436230
Freèfire is a cool movie.

>>212423620
It's insane how fast 15 years flies by.

>>212437280
Cool tidbit, how did you find out about it?

figured it was longer. only time i lived with a girl we watched this from a redbox and it depressed me because my band sucked compared to his

>>212423029

The game The Long Dark has its apocalypse based on the Carrington Event, though I don't know if a Coronal Mass Ejection of that magnitude happened today whether the electronics we've developed since the 1850s would be powered by it.

>>212435794
> Why didn't they make her a redhead?
They tried it but ultimately decided that blonde was better

>>212435956
> She has Asuka hair, except the parts on the side where her ears are need to be pulled back or cut off
It's called Misa hair

>Brie calls you up and says Anon, want to come play It Takes Two on my Switch with me?

Wat do?

>>212439431
Go obviously.

Better than both the movie and the manga.

>>212422935 (OP)
did it

>>212424001
>more thoughtful composition and camera movement in 10 seconds than most current year movies manage in 2.5 hours
Maybe I should give it a rewatch

>>212423525
spbp

I saw it opening day, only 6 people were in the theater

>>212439703
Nice pic, but I knew it was AI, as Brie has bigger tits

>>212431473
Only in small college towns, I reckon. I was a student in an Upstate New York liberal arts college between 2018-2022 and pretty much lived the Scott Pilgrim lifestyle for the most part
>living in a nice-ish house in a nice 20k person town with 3 roommates
>Concerts every week from small bands based around the northeast US or Canada
>Working bullshit part-time jobs and getting on the piss with your mates every weekend

>>212427398
>she's 17 and 394 days you sick 23 yr old fuck!
This would be weird if it was like a 40 yr old but im supposed to care about a 23 yr old? Whoever tries to film "gotchas" like this should kill themselves

>>212427398
What's going on in this?

>>212431473
Move to Topeka Kansas instead of LA

>>212422935 (OP)
I lived this movie but now it makes me depressed because seeing it reminds me of the downfall of Canada and the rest of the west.

The last gasp of pop culture was TRL with Carson Daly

>>212431473
In europe you can still do this in small/medium sized towns while in college but the decay is getting worse every year. More browns every year.

Ebonics. Enjoy being a minority in your homeland.
