There you go, that's a good reference-point. Pilgrim has a much much higher profile than Kick Ass did, and it's got a star (Cera), so it should do better. It's also not rated as restrictively.
I certainly think it will do better than Kick-Ass (but that's not saying much). The fact is, our dad's still rule the world, and they will leave their lazy-boys for The Expendables. The writing in Kick-Ass was TERRIBLE, btw. Talk about warmed-over wax museum. It was like someone's uncle did the script-treatment. -----Original Message----- From: Cary Preston <[email protected]> To: theuniquegeek <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Jul 30, 2010 6:22 am Subject: Re: [The Unique Geek] The Expendables Call to Arms Trailer I have no interest in the Retreadables. Scott Pilgrim could completely flop like Kick Ass did, but I'll still be queuing up for it over a huge cast of tired action heroes.

It's not kid-friendly and looks annoying to adults. You mean like Twilight? Yeah, you're right, how will a movie aimed at teens based on a graphic novel that currently holds 6 of the 10 slots on the NYT GN best sellers list possibly do well? I'll take all your bets, especially the RT and three weeks out ones. Even if Scott Pilgrim doesn't resonate with mainstream reviewers they'll like it better than the Expendables, if only because SP isn't a wax museum exhibit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
