But in all seriousness. I find it very gratifying to introduce someone to a piece of art or fiction, and to watch them fall in love with it. A good example of this recently was introducing my friend Jeremy to the comic books series "Scott Pilgrim." It is a very hard comic to describe, but I have heard others describe it thus: as a cross between Say Anything (the movie, not the band), Kill Bill and Mario. I would also add in every anime you've ever seen, and a healthy helping of Street Fighter.
More recently, Scott Pilgrim has been turned into a film by Edger Wright, the renowned British director behind "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz." He is not the only one working on it however, so is Bill Pope... the cinematographer for not only The Matrix films, but all of the Spider-Man trilogy. I am extremely excited about this one. If you aren't enthused yet, watch the new trailer:
I'll be back with more on character sketches and comics soon. In the mean time enjoy the trailer!

AMAZING... and it comes out the day of convocation. Can you say afterparty??
Ok... don't take this the wrong way, but you are the LAST person I would have expected to be excited about this movie. What I'm trying to say is: thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for encouraging my nerdiness! :D
