‘Scott Pilgrim’ Arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray, Win Your Copy Now
It’s been a couple of years since we first heard about the possibility of a film adaptation of Edgar Wright’s comic novel, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World–the excitement driving us nearly to the point of pissing ourselves. Comic-novels-turned-feature-films go horribly wrong all the time, but with Wright so heavily involved, those expecting a different result this time around were not disappointed.
Released on DVD and Blu-Ray today, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, one lovesick puppy of a high school dude looking to defeat the seven evil exes of Ramona Flowers, the rainbow-tressed love of his life. The Blu-Ray and DVD are jam-packed with behind-the-scenes extras from the making of the special-effects-heavy adaptation, some of which we’ve gotten our mitts on:
Not only did the movie exceed most fans’ expectations, but the soundtrack is fairly legit, as well. For the indie-rock-influenced, check out songs by Beck, under the guise of Sex Bob-omb, the fictional band from the film, and Broken Social Scene.
Thanks to the Scott Pilgrim team, we’re giving away some awesome prize packages to celebrate the film’s release on DVD and Blu-Ray:

Crazy ex breaks into her apartment while we’re sleeping. Starts destroying her computer, laptop, digital camera, anything electronic he can. Had to subdue him. Not fun to wrangle another man when you’re in your birthday suit. Turns out he’s a masochist and likes things inserted rectally, she had photos and he wanted to destroy the evidence. It was also the day I learned they make animal replica dildos…

I’m leaving my GF’s house. Her ex shows up and he’s pissed. Yells at me as I get the car. I flip him off and drive away, not thinking twice. Then I hear a BOOM and look in the rearview. He has a rifle he’s just shot at me and is reloading. The gas peddle is depressed a bit harder and I get a call later that he was taken away later by cops. Good times…

This sounds straight outta scott pilgrim vs the world but this actually happened. I was watching some funny films at my girlfriend’s home, we were snug on the sofa when I heard a sound outside the window. I opened up the door and saw my ex running like the wind, escaping through the neighbor’s window. I went back inside and I heard screaming and she jumped out of the same window and ran the other way.

Once had a girlfriend whose ex somehow got my number and started calling at all hours of the night. Had to start unplugging the phone at night.

I just spent sometime saving a lot of really old files from some floppy disks I’ve had laying around since 1998. Most of them I haven’t even looked at since 1998. This is a real email that I saved to a floppy disk from a recent ex-boyfriend at the time. I think it’s Scott Pilgrim appropriate:
“i thought it was so funny how
you put on the emo mailing list that someone should punch me in the gut for
you. haha. that’s so great. well you know what? you can fucking do it cause
i’ll be at the braid shows in chicago and most likely in urbana. so when you
see me come and punch me.”

Well I never got dumped in a really bad way. The only thing I can think of, is getting stood up at a football game. I was looking for her forever for the first hour, hoping she was late, in front of the whole school, walking back and forth alone like an idiot. Than by the 2nd half of the game I was just standing by the fence alone.

Well, this run in was with my ex as I went out on a date with someone new. The night was great dinner, a movie, dragging town. All of the sudden my crazy ex-boyfriend start chasing me and my date. Now my date had this fancy convertible car and my ex had this ragged old farm truck that he stuffed him and 4 buddies into that night. Unbeknown to me, the new date liked to dabble in explosives. He had me grab the steering wheel while he reached into his back pack, in his backseat. By now, we were racing down dirt back roads at the speeds of almost 80. The new date guy was lighting and chucking modified M3′s that he cooked up in the back of his mom’s real estate shop. LOL. He said he was trying to blow their tires out. It was kind of funny till my crazy ex boyfriend stars shooting at the new date guy’s tires. Top went up on the convertible and we made so much dust on the dirt road that we were able to slip away. I was scared to death!

It was the day before Thanksgiving and the girl I was seeing decided to have me over for the night since her parents went to another relatives house. I went over and we had some drinks and “watched a movie”. We got up in the morning and instead of heading home I decided to stay for some early Thanksgiving dessert in the morning if you know what I mean. In the middle of it someone started banging at the door so we stopped. I asked her who it was and she left me know it was her X… by the look on her face and the tone of her voice I could tell this was not good. She told me he had a drinking problem and a violent past. He started banging on the door and wouldn’t leave and he finally managed to get into the house since he had been over there several times himself. She left the bedroom to go deal with him. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom I scrambled to get my clothes on and find my shoes and socks. I stood in the room as quietly as possible ready to have to defend myself at any moment while they were just outside of it screaming at each other. After standing there for about 15 minutes that seemed more like hours I decided I couldn’t wait anymore. I got her window open and popped out the screen as quietly as I could and jumped out of it and hastily made my way down the street to where my car was parked. She invited me over the next weekend and I declined and broke things off and never saw her again.

My ex-girlfriend’s exboyfriend stabbed my basketball and popped it then chased me through her second story apartment until I jumped out a window and ran to a gas station and hid in the men’s room until the police came. While I was visiting her 1,200 miles from home. Yeah.

when my gf’s try to make me meet their exes, i run. good, bad, evil, doesnt matter. less trouble that way. havent met one yet

My worst run-ins with a girlfriend’s exes are probably when the girl’s ex didn’t know he is an ex, yet. For whatever reason I seem to draw/ be drawn to girls who are vague and leave everything open to interpretation… so a relationship is more likely to drift into that fog then have an actual break up.
That’s great if you’re easy going… but has lead to more then a few ‘WTF ARE YOU DOING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!?!’ moments.

This guy punched me once because I kissed his girlfriend…. it hurt quite a bit, so I reckon this counts
