while it severely threatened to push michael cera over the edge of his waning public appeal, last year's moving picture adaptation of the scott pilgrim series was... actually kinda fun. there were a few casting errors (jason schwartzman? what?), but the movie was true to the original, showed off the toronto i know and love, and - best of all - had some great music. songs for each of the bands in the movie were provided by real-life talent, including beck as sex bob-omb, broken social scene as crash & the boys, and metric as clash at demonhead. i particularly enjoyed the last selection, as (a) i will jump at any opportunity to hear more metric, and (b) i couldn't think of a better voice for artsy femme fatale envy adams than emily haines. the soundtrack features metric's recording of Black Sheep, which they tested on the road but didn't find its way onto 2009's Fantasies, and it's a keeper.
