TP came to my sister's school regularly to recruit, and she had nothing nice to say about them either :/ In fact, I don't know of anyone who's dealt with them in a business capacity who recommends them.

And whoa, Bryan Lee O'Malley. Good on him for getting offered movie rights for Scott Pilgrim; I can't recall if he took em. My sis used to chat with him online pretty regularly and his music he produced and performed himself was pretty cool.

He did take them. Edgar Wright is directing and Michael Cera is playing Scott.

HAR, good on him. I should really get a copy of one of his cds from my sister, now that I think about it. Actually, I wonder if he still sells them o_o

I don't really know if the movie will be any good, or fun. Personally, I think it'd be hard to condense Scott Pilgrim down to 2 hours, and include both girlfriends, without him not being sympathetic enough. He's an everyman, but not a champion. Even the books kind of peter off to a bare fizzle. All the same, I hope they include most of that confrontation with the first ex-boyfriend in there, dance sequence and all. That was hilarious.

The "hey, man" drawl of the contract is definitely one of the most blantantly insulting and offensive things about it. In normal contract terms, this still is bad enough to make you feel downright appalled, but to try to dish it out on a we:re-all-pals-rights-are-for-losers platter... You can be sure they:re gonna pull out the Frenchy-French legalese when it comes to using that disgraceful contract to screw you over royal :/
