I gotta say, I was slightly worried about it holding up to repeat viewings (like my seeing it at midnight and being excited for it already was coloring my judgement), but it actually got a little bit better, mostly because I approached it a different way and looked for the other Easter Eggs I missed.

Now, it's not quite as dramatic a change as viewing Starship Troopers as a stupid war film v. a brilliant fascist-satire, but Scott Pilgrim is a bit more interesting if you accept that the sketchily drawn relationship part is really just a facet of the Scott-centric self-growth arc. The fights are still great, but they make more dramatic sense as Scott realizing that fighting for a mysterious girl is less satisfying than fighting for personal reasons. It also makes his mini-depression during Roxy and the beginning of the Twins seem slightly less assholish. (And I might be overthinking this part a bit much, but it also makes his choice at the end a little more deep. He's finally got the self respect to realize he doesn't need the constant and unearned adulation Knives would lavish on him, and that trying to forge something with Ramona would be more rewarding, but I dunno, I'm a little punch drunk from trying to keep track of every graphic that popped up in the last fight.)

Things I noticed second time around:
-Lucas's filmography titles. I especially liked Action Doctor.
-Roxy calling Ramona a hasbian just created a new entry in my personal dictionary.
-Although Comeau's "comic was better" bit was funny, I really like imagining the band who's "First album was better than their first album."
Did you notice that a number is in the scene for each ex? I didn't see them myself but a few people on GameFAQs pointed them out. Person couldn't find the 5 and 6 for the Twins or 7 for Gideon though.

You can see the posters here in all their glory.

I'm not ashamed to say I would pay to see 4/5 as actual movies.

The good news is...you are going to live.

The bad news is he is going to kill you.

EDIT: I would like The Game is Over 2 a lot more if it's tagline didn't pale in comparison to Scorcher 6's take on repeated sequelitis.

"The first click you hear will be me hanging up. The next will be me pulling the trigger."
One of my favorite things that Lucas Lee says.

Also, those are awesome. I'd probably go see most of those if they were real movies.

Is it just me or does Scott seem to pale in comparison to the boyfriends now that the movie's out?

I agree when it comes to the first 3, and possible Gideon. But Roxie and the twins aren't better than Scott.

The comic did better for Roxie. The twins seem to always get the short end of the stick. It's kinda like they were rushed just to make it into the league with nothing to take from them.

Roxie actually made Scott mature.

The twins get theirs when they pump their amps up to 11 (5th exe + 6 exe =11). And the score for killing Gideon ends up being like 7 billion or so

How could they not find the 7? It's the level number! It even appears twice.

Saw the movie a third time today with new people. (The best way to keep it enjoyable.) I love experiencing this movie with the right kind of audience, which we had tonight. I thought #3 would burn me out, but I feel like I could see it again (though I probably won't).

Anyways, keep going, people! Don't let it bomb!

Excellent parody post of fallacious arguers and the arguments they make.

EDIT: Next you should do one about how people who criticize Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden just don't get parody.
