I saw 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' tonight. It was pretty much amazing. A smattering of comedy, a dab of romance, and plenty of comic book/video game action fight sequences. For fans of the comic, it follows the books dialogue pretty well, but there are a few changes. However, the film really doesn't suffer from the shortening process, because there are some parts of the books that would've translated HORRIBLY onto film. Mostly, they would've just served to extend the film needlessly, and that would bog it down. And honestly, most of the changes end in the same way the book resolves them, just with some new added tricks.
However, this is not the main point of this post. It's mostly how I wish life was much more adventurous and exciting. We live in an age where everything has been discovered. No continents to explore, no empires to defeat, nothing. Now, I don't condone war at all. Ever. Seriously, I hate it. I just wish average life has a little more spice to it. I want to be able to fight off 7 dudes for a hipster girl of my own. Not really, actually, I'm not much of a fighter (unless you put a weapon in my hands). If it sounds like I wish life was more like a video game, that's not at all what I want. Video Games are for escaping. I just want more spice in life. And I realize I could go travel and explore the world, but I have nowhere near enough resources to do that sort of thing (as evidenced by this poor attempt at becoming internet famous). I think I honestly just need a more active social life. Except I really hate drama. I could join a band, but I tried learning guitar before, and I found it...uninteresting. Maybe I'm just a quitter. But then again, I haven't given up on this blog (yet).
TL;DR I want a more adventurous life, GO SEE 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' IT IS AMAZING.
