An Open Letter To The Guy Who Sat Beside Me At The 10:10 Showing Of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Thanks for eventually shutting up.
Y'know...after I pointed out that I wasn't interested in what you had to say.
I drew the line after "why does everything have to be so epic?"
Your idiocy knows no bounds and your friends are just as stupid for hanging out with you.

Your pal,

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Game Trailer

Yeah, I'll be needing this. The villains pay off in loonies and toonies!
The man behind the look and feel of the game is Paul Robertson. I mentioned him here a little while ago.

Paul Robertson's Kings of Power 4 Billion %

Got 12:39 to spare? Well then, feast your eyes upon what easily ranks as one of the most insane things I've ever seen. It's unhinged, colorful, and bound to offend in some fashion. Therefore, it's genius.
Want to know what's even better? This man is behind the visuals for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim video game. Yes.
Props to Muttpop for lettin' a brother know. Visit Mr. Robertson here. Paul has made the film available for download from several outlets.

This will be the best thing I'll see all day.

The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World trailer. 

YES. Any doubt you may have had about the film should hopefully be gone.

SCOTT PILGRIM 6!

All the news from O'Malley's site and the folks at Oni Press. Me = over the moon.

Random Thoughts: February 5th, 2009

One of my Christmas gifts. Strangely tasty.

This list is a short stack, kinda like a small amount of pancakes or a short, chesty girl. I recently realized that I've been doing something akin to the "25 Things" meme for close to three years or longer. For some reason, though, that list must've taken over a week to write. Crazy.

• Speaking of crazy... You can't get me to stop talking about Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5. I must have this book in my grubby claws.
  
  
• So the leopard's spots didn't change? Imagine that. I really wish folks would stop trying to convince John K. that rap has any merit (look here, here and here). No charts, diagrams or eloquent pontificating will bring him around, and why should they? There are millions of folks with that similar mindset, and they're just happy that way. God bless 'em, I say. If I ever get the chance to meet him or fellow animator/curmudgeon Mike " I don't like hip-hop or anyone who does" Fontanelli, music will not be the topic of conversation.
  
  
• Wildsville. I love Derek Yaniger's illustrations, so I was blown away when I found out about his Wildsville book. It's outstanding, and you need to own it. The folks at Grain Edit gave it a nice once-over (you can see my capsule review among the post comments).
  
  
• Atomos! Inkstuds has a nice interview with ex-Winnipegger Mark Atomos Pilon right over here.
  

Yeah, that's all I've got. Time for bed.

Hello n' stuff.

Goober Strawberry. Thanks, Nikki!

What up, y'all? It's been too got-damn long.
Yo, this 16 / 25 random things meme has been going nuts through my circle of friends on Facebook, in addition to appearances on Flickr and LiveJournal (Hi, Andrea!). I've been tagged a couple times, and my list is coming. I'm on number 13 or something. In the meantime, I'm...

• drawing stuff
• waiting patiently for Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe (O'Malley has been teasing us fans with panels and swag via his site and flickr photostream)
  
• loving Google Reader
• reading a story on Mike Giant in Swindle
• shaking my head in disbelief at some of the knobs at UGSMAG's forum
• checking out Thom Glick's sketch-a-day posts (Dave Crosland's a participant, too!)...
• ...and admiring Faye Reagan (do a search, I don't feel like linking anything).

So, yeah. Peace.
