    Hey - Thanks to you and your crew! I live in the apt right next to that Goodwill and it has never looked as clean as it did during your shoot - can you guys stay there forever?!!!!
    Alas, days later it has reverted to its former state……
    Looking forward to seeing the finished film!
    (am also an Actra member that would love to be IN your finished film……..)
    Cheers!

    hahaha, YES. Kung-pow! That is the onomonapia (and movie) that means a good time.
    Wallace & Gromit = classic

    It’s totally the scene where Scott and Knives go to Goodwill. Coz most of the stuff there is bad…but not in a hilarious way. Also, dammit Wright when are we going to get confirmation of Schwartzman as Gideon!? Validate me!

    I still can’t believe you guys are filming Scott Pilgrim vs. the World! Not only are you working with one of the coolest graphic novels I’ve read but you’re also trying to be as accurate as possible with the scenes; from Casa Loma, to the Goodwill on St. Clair, heck even my old high school. I live in the neighbourhood so everyday I pass by the filming on my commute and I keep hoping I’ll catch a glimpse of you folks filming something awesome. Keep up the awesome work and I can’t wait to see this finished!

    P.S. Kudos to the guy who sprays the snow for the sets, he did a stellar job on the Baldwin Steps a few weeks ago!

    It would be ace if your techies would include pictures embedded IN your rss feed, are you trying to force users to view your actual site for some reason?

    Yay for videos!

    I’m actually watching ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ right now which is strange (sadly I’ve got it on DVD though not beloved VHS)

    Could you please tell Michael that I’m really looking forward to ‘Paper Heart’ this summer?

    Well, you don’t HAVE to tell him, obviously, but it looks so adorable and I canne wait to see ‘t! Even if the premise is confusing as hell. I only heard about it last night and I’ve quickly become obsessed. Not that there’s a lot to feed my obsession on the internet at the moment. I guess I’ll just have to wait for August….

    “But if you are disappointed that it may not be in the movie, I will personally take you there and buy you a spray painted bust of Elvis and some overpriced kitchen utensils.

    That’s my promise.”

    I hope you know that’s legally binding. It might not seem like it, being a comment on an internet blog, but it is. By magic.

    Just a heads up for everyone waiting for the Honest Ed’s scene: word is it’s not in the movie. Logistical nightmare trying to set it up and shoot in there (which, for anyone who’s been in there, is that really a surprise?). That’s according to O’Malley at the Calgary Con a few weeks ago.

    BEETHOVEN FOR THE WIN. I have that on VHS, too. I wore it out so much as a kid that we had to buy another copy. Though it’s got some stiff competition for best animal-oriented movie of the 90s.
    Air Bud, Homeward Bound, Babe, and the timeless Dunston Checks In.

        Can anybody else get in on that?

        Seriously though, I’ve made my peace with the whole “things have to be cut” business with the news that there’s no room for Lisa Miller in the film.

        Not that it matters anyway; I have faith that it’s going to be pretty damn sweet.
