7 Reasons Everyone Should Watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World

In (late) honor of the film's release 8 years ago, let's talk about why everyone should see this movie. Before I get fully into, though, I should add that there are a few things in the movie that I'm not super into but every movie has weak points.

It's super freakin' quotable.

One of the most memorable lines in the entire movie is "I'm in lesbians with you" but that's not the best one. There are so many other quotes - this probably shouldn't have been my first point - like, "pirates are in this year?" and "amzon.ca, what's the website for that?" As well as "The future? Like, with jetpacks?" I should really stop now because I can go all night.

It's literally star packed

In addition to Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who is absolute girl crush material btw), this movie also has Pre-Captain America Chris Evans, Pre-Captain Marvel Brie Larson, Jason Shwartzman, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, and Pre-Parenthood Mae Whitman to start off. You may want to keep the iMDB page for this movie open because you'll be saying "I know that actor" a LOT.

It's actually relatable

Scott Pilgrim vs The World was one of the first movies I watched and couldn't get enough of. I related so hard to certain scenes so much that I watched the movie TWICE in a five-hour period.

It's Just Funny

For being a "romantic" movie, Scott Pilgrim vs The World is actually really freakin' funny. The scene above is literally one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever just because of the delivery.

The soundtrack is the best. Ever.

In addition to being relatable and funny and all around awesome, the soundtrack and musical scenes make this movie super well-rounded.

It Has Tons of Geeky References

In addition to everything previously stated, the amount of geeky references in this movie is actually astounding. There are references to Street Fighter 2 and a game that's similar to Dance Dance Revolution to name a couple.

It's Just Pure Entertainment Gold.

Watch the movie once and you'll soon find yourself quoting it in your everyday life or at least humming some of the songs to yourself. It's a goldmine of references and relatable characters and music that'll be stuck in your ears for weeks to come. Just watch it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
