It s time to rediscover that timeless wisdom: Bread makes you fat.
I speak of course about one of the best lines from Edgar Wright s 2010 movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, spoken in shock by Michael Cera, who stars with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and a who s who of bright young comedy talents. The film is based on Bryan Lee O Malley s popular Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, and on Friday, it s getting a remastered anniversary re-release in AMC theaters, including in Austin.
If you ve never gotten a chance to watch it, this incredibly Canadian tale finds Toronto townie Scott Pilgrim (Cera), a self-involved loser in a not-great band, become fixated on the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Winstead). But in order to date her, he must first defeat her seven evil exes, battles that Wright films as visually delightful crosses between video game punch-ups and comic book pow-bang-zooms.
