Cera talking about the depression he had when the filming for “Scott Pilgrim” ended was so real
At least he gets to relive the movie via the new anime coming out, since the majority of the film cast are coming back to voice the characters.
We all kind of felt that way. It’s definitely a movie you don’t want to come to an end.
@Kurt Eichmannomg I had no idea they were reprising there roles he is to?
@Ghost_Void226yeah
I haven’t seen him lately, I was happy to see him in Barbie and it was a perfect role for him.
Guess you didn’t watch black mirror
@pnut3844able Already forgot he was in it lol
@pnut3844able Nope but a guest appearance in a streaming show is not the same thing.
@Woozlewuzzleable in black mirror it is
@Woozlewuzzleableeven so that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been in anything recently streaming show or Movies that’s still him being active
It’s kind of insane how Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has become a blueprint for teenagers for their overall behaviour/fashion sense/world perspective in the last 7 years when the movie was slept on when it was initially released.
Lol being a teenager throughout that time I can say it became the blueprint for nothing except longing for connection 😂😂😂😂
@maker6153 add that aspect to the list as well.
It finally found its audience
I’ll never forget seeing it in theaters while I was in elementary school, then proceeded to have Ramona Flowers hair for several years after😂 Definitely a movie that changed my life!
It came out when i was in 8th grade and experiencing my hipster renaissance. I felt so seen and that movie became a huge part of my personality lmao. To this day i still say “FREEZE! VEGAN POLICE!”
I watched Superbad on a bootleg dvd. i Was able to hear the people in the crowd laughing. It made the movie feel like a sitcom and i loved it!
WHAT.. Where can I find this version? Do you think there is a avalaible bootleg dvd on the internet somewhere?
thats kinda awesome.
that’s a super bad way to watch
I loved when my dad bought movies like that
Very happy that he is voicing Scott Pilgrim again in the new animated series!
Trailer out now!
All the og casts are back
I can’t freakin wait for this!! 😩😭
I fell in love with him when I saw Arrested Development and that just continued to grow through my youth/teen years as all these other things came out. So glad to see he’s doing well 🖤
same he’s def a top actor for me now
I love george micheal so much
SAME SAME
Same Arrested Development was awesome
While having a shoddy performance in the box office, Scott Pilgrim: The Movie is visually spectacular to this day and I’m so happy that it has garnered a cult following similar to The Big Lebowski.
Scott pilgrim is probably one of the top under rated movies ever. It has massive rewatch value and so original
agree 100%. Edgars best imo
theres just so much humor packed into every moment the writing was so great and the visual editing was insnae
@Brice TickerFACTS😅I’m so happy it’s getting a animated series 😅
Indeed. I couldn’t even understand why I liked it so much when I first watched it and I really don’t get it to this day. It’s really unique and Edgar Wright is a beast.
How is it underrated? It’s a widely loved, massively popular movie. Just say you like something without trying to make it sound like some cool underground thing.
Micheal will always be Scott Pilgrim to me. I love him.
Michael’s cameo on Twin Peaks was one of the most memorable parts of that season and one of the best touches of the weirdness and heart similar to the early episodes. I’m glad he was asked about that.
