Let the Hunger Games Begin!

It is almost here!!! The premier of the Hunger Games movie!!! Will it live up to the hype?? Sometimes when a book you love becomes a movie it is a letdown. This one looks like it will be good though. It seems like these books were meant to be movies, with the stark contrasts of the different characters, the pageantry of the games, and the electrifying plot.

Scott Pilgrim: The Movie!!!

Posted on August 9, 2010 by No Shadow

Alright nerds, as if we haven’t gushed enough praise on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s truly original series of books, our patience is finally rewarded with the upcoming release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (link to the movie’s website) coming out on August 13!

I, for one, am incredibly excited to see what exactly masterful film director Edgar Wright (check him out on the Internet Movie Database) has decided to present to the thousands of rabid Scott Pilgrim fans all over the world. The high-spirited trailer alone proves that Wright plans to stay as loyal to O’Malley’s vision as the limits of film will allow.

In the meantime, however, spend your days catching up on Scott, Ramona, Kim, Stephen, Knives, Young Neil and the rest as you dive head-first back into the six volume set in anticipation of what is surely to be a great time at the movies!

Don’t know about the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels? What are you waiting for?! Check out volume 1, Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life by Bryan Lee O’Malley (TEEN 741.5 OMA v.1):

Scott Pilgrim’s life is fantastic. He’s 23 years old, in a rock band, between jobs, and dating a cute high school girl. Everything’s awesome until a seriously mind-blowing delivery girl named Ramona Flowers enters his life.
