Scott Pilgrim vs. Crappy Movies that came out at the same time

I loved Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It was original, it was hilarious and it was awesome.  Granted, i have *not* as of yet read the graphic novels (but i plan to as soon as Amazon delivers the bastards), so many might not think it was as awesome as *I* thought it was.  All I know is I laughed harder than i have at the movies in a loooooong time.  And yet, no one in America is seeing this movie. It depresses me.





This movie got beat at the box office by The Expendables, a mindless, testosterone-driven action flick, which Craig Ferguson accurately stated should just be entitled Balls, and....


 
 
 
 



Eat Pray Love, starring the actress with the most dramatic range ever (that was dripping sarcasm, btw), Julia Roberts!  I will always be the first to say this:  I believe Julia Roberts is one of, if not THE, most over-rated actress ever.  The only good movie I've ever seen her in was Steel Magnolias (try not crying during that movie..I dare you).  She plays the same damn character in every friggin movie she's in...why and how does that make her "good"?  Someone please explain to me...
 
 
 
 
One of the reasons it pisses me off so much that THESE movies beat it is this:  I know several people who would LOVE Scott Pilgrim, but they're turned off from it because of Michael Cera, aka George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development (which is pretty much the same character he has played in every movie so far), so they refuse to see this movie.  The reason they're turned off is, as I just mentioned, he plays the same character in every movie.  Please see above......when do Sylvester Stallone or Julia Roberts NOT play the same character in every movie they're ever in??  Seriously...it's called type-casting and Michael Cera is not, by far, the only actor to ever fall prey to it.  And it's especially disappointing because Michael Cera was actually pretty awesome in this friggin movie!!! gaaah...... #FrustratedJenn
 
So please, get over your Anti-Michael-Cera stubbornness for 2 hours and go see this movie!!!  You'll regret it if you don't!  This movie is not for everyone, obviously...if you don't like video games or awesomeness, you'll probably hate it.  But if you don't like video games and awesomeness, you probably won't bother reading my blog, so that works out well.
