Chris Pilgrim

Normally, you don't see me popping in here to post something on a Saturday morning. This shit is me-time. But this news is delightful so I just gotta post it lest I forget by Monday... via AICN:

"I'm biased as hell, but I honestly think Edgar Wright has aced every casting decision on SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. Just this week, we learned that Kieran Culkin will be joining Michael Cera (Scott) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona) as the title character's gay roommate, Wallace. Now, we can confirm one of Ramona's Evil Exes.

How does Chris Evans as skateboarder/movie star Lucas Lee strike you?

For a younger Jason Lee type (which is what the character obviously needs to be), I really don't think Edgar could've done better than this. Evans was a perfect Johnny Storm in those unfortunate FANTASTIC FOUR movies, and took a huge step forward as an actor in Danny Boyle's SUNSHINE. Playing a parody of a pretty boy actor type? This is right square in his wheelhouse. He's going to kill this."

I was psyched about this movie before, but add Chris Evans to the mix and... well, I'm what the kids call super psyched. Super duper psyched even. Yeehaw y'all. Get it on! This movie is kicking me in the junk... in a good way.
