The season of love is in the air, and Graphic Content is going to spread that love by presenting one of our favourite movies, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World! Not only are we showing the movie, but we bringing on our favourite local comics reviewing duo to help us do so, Brandon Schatz and James Leask from Comics! The Blog, who’s bromance I’ve heard rivals any other on the internets. We are so committed to our theme of love this month, we are doing it on Valentine’s Day, it’s going to be, well, epic.
From film-geek auteur Edgar Wright comes Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), slacker Torontonian and the best fighter in all of Ontario, seems like he has it all. He’s dating a high schooler named Knives Chau and plays bass in a band called Sex Bob-omb. Everything changes, though, when he meets the glamorous American delivery-girl Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and falls for her hard. Now, to win her love, he must defeat her seven evil exes, not to mention dodge the continued advances of Knives. Based on the hit Oni Press series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Graphic Content and Comics! The Blog invites you to spend Valentine’s Day with us, as we celebrate one of the best coming of age/video game fighting comics ever written! The Hollywood Reporter didn’t enjoy, saying, “Nothing makes any real sense,” but which you will love like mad because you’re young and you’re awesome. 1990s forever!
As seen on the gorgeous poster by Andrea Brown above, the film is screening on Valentine’s Day at the Metro Cinema at the Garneau Theatre. The movie starts at 9:30, a time specifically chosen so that couples can maximize the romantic intake of vittles earlier in the evening and then canoodle in a dark theatre while watching a movie that’s all about romance (and maybe punching). Drinks will be available beforehand starting at 9:00. Tickets are $10 adults, $8 students/senoirs, and Metro Passes will be accepted. The film is 112 minutes long, rated PG, and we’ll be showing it in glorious 35mm.
