Loved it in the theater, will love it in my living room on Blu-ray, and will love it even more if it's free!

Great coverage! Wish I was there! Saw Scott Pilgrim in the theatre twice and my friends and I really enjoyed it. It's so different and unlike any other films, not the same old junk. When another friend asked what it was about, it was very hard to define it. I said it's a Sci- fi, Rock And Roll, Romantic Comedy. I'd really like to own the Blu-Ray and play it on my home theatre system, this would be great so I could show my friends who didn't get to see it at the theatre. I really hope I can win a copy. If not, I'll probably buy it. Thank you!

This was one of my favorite films of 2010... and to my surprise, it was one of my wife's favorite movies as well. HTF's coverage of the press event is fantastic... thanks for posting it.


The blu-ray release has really crept up on me. This is a must-own disc.

Lastly, and this may not be a topic suitable for a thread about the Press Event surrounding the release of the BD, but it needs to be raised. Much coverage of the BD I've read elsewhere online has downgraded the BD's PQ rating based on what is considered an overly muted color palette. However, I have a really strong memory of what I saw in the theater, and 'Speed Racer' this *wasn't.* The muted, low-fi indie aesthetic was entirely intentional and, with the exception of a few really dazzling standouts (hair color and a few of the fight effects being the prominent ones), stayed pretty consistent throughout. I think the colorful directing and the snappy pace of the film left some people with a false impression that 'Scott Pilgrim's theatrical presentation was a candy colored confection. Simply not true.

Really wonderful coverage, Guys! Looking forward to checking this film out again. Just hope I can snag a copy in the contest.

Thanks for your comments. While our official review is still on the way I can say that I watched this on a 120+" screen and I thought it looked fantastic. Is there a muted color palette? Yes, but thats the way its supposed to be. This movie just getts better with repeat viewings.

These events sound spectacular. I'm jealous of those who get to participate.

 

[Brian Timmermeister]

I haven't seen the movie yet but will probably get the Blu-ray. I started reading the graphic novel last night and it seems really fun and cute.

 

[cthrax]

One of the better comic to movie productions I've seen in awhile. Well done.

 

[Jeff Rosen]

Love to win n this package.

 

[Joel-H]

Best movie I've seen this year (so far)

 

[Mark Methenitis]

Great coverage, as always. *fingers crossed for a free Blu-Ray*

 

[therris]

Any chance to get some Beck on vinyl is good for me.

 

[Jon*R]

I really liked the movie although I have to say that the ending was anti-climatic. I would like to see the alternate ending.

 

[kdssrugby]

I regretted not seeing this in theatres. It would be great to get it on blu-ray.

 

[KingNYC]

Lets do this, make me a winner. BLU-RAY combo activate!!!
