I know very little about comic books, contrary to what my sister might believe. But I know Scott Pilgrim, and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Scott Pilgrim rules. It is a comic about a slackery Canadian slacker superninja who plays in a band and must defeat his new girlfriend’s evil ex-boyfriends. I swear it’s not as nerdy as it sounds.

What rules, possibly even more than Scott Pilgrim the comic, is that Edgar Wright, the director of Spaced and Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, is directing the movie version. And it stars Michael Cera, which is pretty much exactly who should play Scott Pilgrim. And what rules even more than that is this:

In an fun little bit of crossover casting, Ramona’s fourth ex, Roxy Richter the half-ninja, will be played by Mae Whitman, a.k.a. Ann (her?) from Arrested Development, which means a George Michael/Ann showdown.

Ultimate ninja fight between George Michael and Egg! I mean Ann! I’m getting in line right now.
