Yeah, it's just so relentlessly overdone it makes me cringe.
And I assume that's a better part of the movie.

Scott Pilgrim was awesome, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. You need to have a high threshold for absurdity and ridiculous cultural references.

I was watching SP and I was trying to make sense of it all, it didn't really make sense... I didn't enjoy it. My friends though loved it, but that might have something to do with they fact that the don't watch good films.

I also really liked him; at least, the Clone Wars cartoon version of him. Unfortunately, Episode 3 turned him into a throwaway character of pretty much zero importance.

Comebacks are better when they work, I've always found.

I enjoyed Plinkett's Star Wars reviews; they were in-depth, legitimate deconstructions of why the movies were bad, with some humour thrown in. Even if you didn't find it funny, it was still a damn good analysis.

Yeah Plinkett's stuff is hilarious, you just need to keep watching them Dynamithix. Eh, the Star Wars prequels weren't horrible, my biggest problem with them is that they lacked powerful antagonists with clear intentions like Vader and the Empire. The Star Wars prequels never built up the tension of the attack on the Death Star in the first Star Wars movie, you wanted to see the protagonists triumph. The new movies still had a a lot of cool action scenes and Grievous could've been cooler if he hadn't died in five seconds.
ANYWAY back on topic....
The original Star Wars is my favorite, this scene is so uplifting...

I didn't really like the prequels either, but I loved Episode III.
My overall favourite is probably IV or V. I saw the original trilogy when I was 'bout 9 or 10 though so I'm not the one to judge which is the best one, haha.
