this movie will kick your ass. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself. all the reviews I've read rave about it.

"Kick-Ass" debuted at the South by Southwest film festival, and elicited a good audience reaction, you c--ts tunks

FTFY

Walker: I watched the red band trailers at IMDB and it looks real good. Accidentally spoiled myself by reading the Wikipedia entry for the comic book though. One problem is they say the kids have no superpowers, yet the trailer shows Hit-Girl running up walls and doing backflips, running along the sides of walls, and doing other stuff that is clearly wire work and not humanly possible.

She's a ninja

brap: All I need is a week to pull a script out of my arse.

Your filing system scares the hell out of me if it will take an entire week to find the right script in there.

My girlfriend and I saw the trailer this weekend. After watching Superbad and Role Models the day before we concluded that Christopher Mintz-Plasse will be typecast until he gets about 4 years older...then it's all over for him. Too bad. I enjoy his work.

But everything else is just fine with you?

FishyFred: I really really really really really really really wish they had made Hit-Girl at least 18 instead of 12. Goddammitsomuch.

wtf? why? she's like 10 in the comic.

Love the comic, cautiously optimistic about the movie, despite the Nic Cage curse.

docbenspock: wtf? why? she's like 10 in the comic.

Because he doesn't want to feel like a pedo. Too late FishyFred, your secret is out.

At least it beats Michael Cera's "cute, shy, awkward indie music listening guy who wants to get the girl but is too cute, shy and awkward".

It worked for George Michael Bluth.

It failed the next 30 or so times.

I agree. I think Cera has a short shelf life as well.

Parkour? (new window)

Aw, c'mon guys, he was great in Zombieland.
I wonder how many Zombieland autographs he's signed...

I'm just afraid that it'll be overhyped, and I'll be sick of it by the time it comes out in theaters.
Or I could just not pay attention. That might work, too.

braedan: Aw, c'mon guys, he was great in Zombieland.

Honestly, the guy playing Michael Cera's character in that was better at it than Michael Cera.

Got to go to a preview screening of this about a week ago.

There are a couple of big changes from the comic. I won't be spoiling anything (since only those who have already spoiled it by reading the comic will get this) but the big reveal about Big Daddy is gone--he's actually got a real motivation now. I understand why they did it, but preferred the greater farked-up-ness of the comic book's version.

Also, the main character [moderate spoiler in light text follows] does get the girl, which is kind of dumb, but again I understand why they did it.

Despite the changes, the movie captured the spirit of the comic very well, and was farking funny as hell.


dragon927: Love the comic, cautiously optimistic about the movie, despite the Nic Cage curse.

Nic Cage is awesome in it. I was worried, too. He's good.

/ They wanted comments afterward.
// Mine: needs more meat tenderizer.
/// It did.

likefunbutnot: I didn't find the comic terribly compelling. Millar used a lot of naughty words and violence that are normally verboten in comics for no better reason than to use naughty words and violence.


This.
Reminded me of the Family Guy Empire Strikes Back movie.
Let's use curse words to show how edgy we are, comes off as desperate.

I don't know why, but I really hate that McLovin' farker. His casting in this almost makes me not want to see it even though I loved the comics.

Someone's ear is in danger of having hair brushed over it.

You sound like a hater

fallingcow: but the big reveal about Big Daddy is gone

Motherf*ckers!

When I first read it, I was like, "WTF? You've got to be kidding me," but when you think about it, that's the scene that ties the whole book together.

Without that, it's just a masturbatory fanboy fantasy.

eddievercetti: Skylenorman: I don't know why, but I really hate that McLovin' farker. His casting in this almost makes me not want to see it even though I loved the comics.

Not a hater. Just really don't like this kid's acting style. He, like Micheal Cera play the exact same character in every movie.

I see.

That's the thing I have a problem with McLovin in this and Cera in Scott Pilgrim.
I don't have a problem with McLovin but I agree, it will get old.
I feel sorry for Eisenburg most of all

Ok, I guess it's still a masturbatory fanboy fantasy even with that scene, but like I said, it ties it together.

Scott Pilgrim is a lazy ass-kicking machine. Cera is a schlubby-schlubschlub.

Eh so does Will Smith but I don't mind.

Much like The Dude's rug.

Anyway.

Yeah, the fact that there are now actual heroes in the movie destroys any sort of message or point (no matter how lame) it might once have had, but damned if a little girl calling a bunch of guys "coonts" then killing them in interesting ways isn't still awesome.

I wouldn't call it great by any means, but it's a fun little movie. See it at matinee prices and you probably won't feel like you got ripped off.

8.3/10 from IMDB

80% FRESH from rotten tomatoes

wanted to see now its upgraded to a have to see. boost that up an extra 5% and its a must.

Swing and a miss. I'm not attracted to the 12-year-olds. I'm attracted to the ladies who kick ass. However, this character is not a lady. She is a girl. That is inherently unattractive and weird.

Although my friends think my crush on Winona Ryder is because she looks like a teenage boy.



Explaining why you're not a pedo just makes you look more like a pedo.

Actually, Kick-Ass debuted at Butt-Numb-A-Thon back in December.

/Not that I was able to go, you have to suck Harry's balls first.

Winona "huge rack" Ryder looks like a teenage boy? Have they seen the shower scene in Heathers?

Tyrone Slothrop: Winona "huge rack" Ryder looks like a teenage boy?

You're misunderstanding. He wishes Wynona Ryder looked like a teenage boy. Because he likes teenage boys. He likes to fark them. In the ass. And the mouth.

If by "debuted" you mean "played here in Austin at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon film festival back in December"...

farbekrieg: brap: All I need is a week to pull a script out of my arse.

I snorted chewed-up apple out of my nose. For reals.

Enjoy a month of TotalFark.

MaxxLarge: Hobodeluxe: She's a ninja

How is that possible? I can see her.

but not neid

Mr. Chainsaw: foul-mouthed 11 year old killing machine shooting people in the face to the strains of a punk rock cover of the Banana Splits theme.

fap.

likefunbutnot: I've never heard of anyone except comic book bloggers discuss or suggest that they actually read Scott Pilgrim. As far as I can tell it exists only in the mind of a few people on comicbookresources or comicsbeat.com

That's adorable. It also, is coming out this year as a big budget picture, helmed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) and starring...

Micheal Cera.
