The Best of Scott Pilgrim Mashups

Posted on 05 September 2010 by Philbert Lui

Scott Pilgrim - Evil Exes

Redeeming itself from a poor 2009 summer movie season, Hollywood restored the meaning of ‘blockbuster’ in 2010, giving us the likes of Inception, Scott Pilgrim, Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2 among others. Among that list, my 2nd personal favourite next to the masterful Inception was Scott Pilgrim VS The World. Although not as exciting and well-made as the flurry of Inception trailer mashups, Scott Pilgrim VS The World still holds its own given the film’s comic book and video game dynamic.

Scott Pilgrim VS The Matrix (personal favourite):

Scott Pilgrim VS Inception:

Scott Pilgrim VS The Last Airbender:

Scott Pilgrim VS Kick-Ass:

In comparison, the Inception mashups were much better, but the movie was more than solid. It pains me to see that Scott Pilgrim won’t make its money back seeing that it is one of the better comic-book adaptations in comic-book adaptation history. I think my next post will talk about how future adaptations of comic-books, manga, anime and video games should look at Scott Pilgrim VS The World as a stylistic and comedic benchmark. If a No More Heroes movie were to be made, it needs to look like Scott Pilgrim except with more blood. A lot more blood.

The Best of Inception Mashups

Posted on 07 August 2010 by Philbert Lui

If you haven’t seen Christopher Nolan’s latest film Inception yet, it means your having a pretty crappy summer. It is hands down the best movie of 2010 so far. Its a pretty tall order to top The Dark Knight, but he did it, and boy was it entertaining! I’ll refrain from doing a review on Inception seeing as all I have been doing lately are reviews. And I think the film speaks for itself, if you’ve watched it that is, and if you havent, again, you’re summer sucks.

With a phenomenal piece of cinema such as Inception, there are many surrounding factors that make it bigger than it already is. Things such as awards, viral advertising, and whether or not it will gain legendary or cult status. What I’m trying to say is that you know a movie is going to make some kind of mark when a flurry of mash-ups flood cyberspace. And. Here. They. Are.

The Simpsons-Inception Trailer Mashup: (my personal favourite)

Up-Inception (Upception) Trailer Mashup:

The Dark Knight-Inception Trailer Mashup:

Toy Story 3-Inception Trailer Mashup:

These are the few that are worth watching. There are others but are poorly edited and a little lazy in my opinion. It doesn’t really do the great movies they use justice at all. Movies such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Shutter Island and even Avatar: The Last Airbender. Maybe we should do one here with The Banana Times. Some thing really ridiculous like The 40-Year-Old Virgin!!

PS: Did anyone else find it annoying that some characters pronounced Saito as “Say-toe” and others pronounced it correctly, “Sigh-toe” (or “Sigh-toh”, to be more authentic)?
