I’m still smiling from our date last weekend. \u00a0We went to the Alamo (as usual) to watch one of our favorite movies. \u00a0We first saw\u00a0 Scott<\/a> Pilgrim<\/a> when it came out in 2010.\u00a0 We’re not sure, but we think it was our first real date after having baby Jack (mentioned here).<\/a>\u00a0 We loved it then.\u00a0 One reason is the nostalgia.\u00a0 Although the movie came out in 2010, it takes place about 5 years earlier.\u00a0 So these young twenty-somethings fit right in with our memories of the post-college life.\u00a0 Watching it again with child number two leaving baby-hood, my nostalgia has increased.<\/p>\n

Why do I love this movie?\u00a0 Why WOULDN’T I? It’s directed by Edgar Freakin Wright.\u00a0 It has loads of NES love.\u00a0 The soundtrack is awesome.\u00a0 The cast includes Arrested Development lovers, future Captain America, and the final villain is Max Fisher!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But this wasn’t simply a screening.\u00a0 They had a live band playing whenever the bands played in the movie.\u00a0 We were concerned at first whether that would work, but it worked SO well.\u00a0 The volume was just right, the energy was higher, and I loved that the Scott in the band changed his t-shirt to match the one screen.<\/a>\u00a0 They gave us merch to use with the show: Bob-Omb logo Light sticks to wave when the band plays, firecracker poppers to blow when you favorite ex dies, and bubbles to blow when there is kissing.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I haven’t smiled so much in a long time.\u00a0 It was pure fun.\u00a0 On the drive down we even joked that they should have specials for the show, especially chicken parm.\u00a0 Imagine our glee to see this:<\/p>\n
