Edgar Wallace
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
Director: Edgar Wright
Release Date: 2010 August 13
Starring: Anna Kendrick, Kieran Culkin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michael Cera
What Worked?
Edgar Wright is a master of frantically clever editing and naturally striking comedy, relying on lovely quips over toilet humor. His talents are as sharp as ever in the comic-book pop teenage love story, Scott Pilgrim v. the World. Out of his three feature films, this is arguably his weakest entry, but only by a hair or two. The characters are hip, in the best version of the word, the editing and cinematography are inventive visual candy, and the direction is consistently sharp and fun.
Editing and cinematography in the film are completely fabulous, giving the film an arcade-like feel and making it a completely distinct movie-going experience. It's like the Crank films, which are lovely in their own ways, but in an evolved, originally trendy fashion. Wright mixes Facebook styled character information updates, comic-book split-screens, psychedelic splashes of color, fighting game life bars, and appropriate rock jams. Even if you cut the sound, the visuals are enough to keep you entertained.
Michael Cera in the lead role is suitable, and is an appropriate choice for Scott Pilgrim. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, as the main squeeze Ramona Flowers, plays the tough hottie with ease. The innocent Knives Chau, the wonderfully deadpan Kim, the wisecracking Wallace, and the super egotistical Lucas Lee and Todd Ingram, along with the rest of the characters, further the fun of the flick. All the supporting characters are diverse and have their own individual moments, as Wright calculatingly balances their screen-time and cool-factors. The cherry on top is that many of the characters break out in martial arts fights, as opposed to the usual song, except for the one time where the characters broke out in song and fight (bonus points).
The story is the typical "boy wants girl and will do anything to get her," but in a hyper-realistic, pop rock infused manner; in other words, it's the same bag with brand new toys. The journey of Scott Pilgrim battling Ramona's seven evil exes is vastly entertaining. The film is fast-food; however, it's In-n-Out and not Del Taco.
Potential Drawbacks:
Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Anna Kendrick, Kieran Culkin, Alison Pill, newcomer Ellen Wong and the rest of the supporting cast are fantastic. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Michael Cera are great in their respective roles, but together the chemistry wasn't completely working all the time. I feel the film would have worked better if Scott Pilgrim had a stronger drive to pursue Ramona. Yes, I understand that they are following the guidance of the source material.
Additionally, some may be put off by the constant barrage of colors and pop-ups. The film is tailored to younger audiences or the young at heart.

Cigars for the Judge
A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to his lawyer. "If I lose this case, I'll be ruined." "It's in the judge's hands now," said the lawyer.
"Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?" "Oh no! This judge is a stickler or ethical behavior. A stunt like that would prejudice him against you. He might even hold you in contempt of court. In fact, you shouldn't even smile at the judge."
Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of the defendant. As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his lawyer, "Thanks for the tip about the cigars. It worked!" "I'm sure we would have lost the case if you'd sent them."
"But, I did send them." "What? You did?" said the lawyer, incredulously. "Yes. That's how we won the case." "I don't understand," said the lawyer.
"It's easy. I sent the cigars to the judge, but enclosed the plaintiff's business card."

Shirley's Makeover
A woman named Shirley was from Beverly Hills. One day, she had a heart attack and was taken to Cedars Sinai hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. She saw God and asked, "Is this it?" God said, "No, you have another 30 to 40 years to live." Upon her recovery, she decided to stay in the hospital and have collagen shots, cheek implants, a face lift, liposuction and breast augmentation. She even had someone dye her hair. She figured since she had another 30 to 40 years, she might as well make the most of it.
She walked out of Cedars Sinai lobby after the last operation and was killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital. She arrived in front of God and said, "I thought you said I had another 30 to 40 years?"
God replied, "Shirley! I didn't recognize you!"
