SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY EDGAR WRIGHT 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The story follows Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bassist in the indie rock band Sex Bob-Omb, who falls for Ramona Flowers, an enigmatic woman with a complicated past. To win her heart, Scott must face and defeat her seven evil exes in a series of surreal, video game-inspired battles. The film blends visual effects, comic book elements, and fast-paced action with themes of love, self-discovery, and personal growth, all wrapped in a quirky, energetic tone. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“At the first Battle of the Bands, Scott is seen wearing a "Plumtree" t-shirt. Plumtree, an all-girl indie rock band, released the song "Scott Pilgrim" on their 1998 album Predicts the Future. This song was the inspiration for Bryan Lee O'Malley to create the graphic novel's title character.” 
  
“To avoid an R-Rating, the word "Fuck" said by Envy to Julie had to be bleeped out because Scott Pilgrim calls Todd Ingram a "cocky-cock" earlier in the film.” 
  
“The star on Ramona's bag changes to match her hair color.” 
  
“The stunt doubles for Lucas Lee are the actual stunt doubles for actor Chris Evans. However, only a quarter of the doubles resemble Evans.”

I'm Probably Going to Hell for...

Scott Moss

Do you ever wonder what comes after this life? Do you ever wonder why the nun who taught your seventh-grade math class could swing a ruler better than Babe Ruth? Did you ever wonder if Noah put the tigers next to the gazelles in the arc? How about some of the rules in the Old Testament? And why did the Vatican commission paintings of Jesus that looked like a guitarist from Led Zepplin? Jesus was from the Middle East. He didn't look like any of the paintings we have seen over the years.  
I try to tackle life after death, religion (especially the Catholic religion), and the Old Testament in this book. The book is filled with satire. Just look at the title. It's a book to make you think and laugh. Nothing more, nothing less.

The city that fascinated and accompanied you in your Latin lessons?Is Rome for you the city where the ancient Romans strolled across the Roman Forum and gladiators fought fierce battles in the Colosseum? Would you like to get to know the city where the great emperors such as Caesar or Augustus ruled and do you dream of one day walking in the footsteps of Romulus and Remus, the founding fathers of Rome?Or do you think: Rome? - That's the Holy City, where the Pope resides and which has long attracted and enthralled pilgrims, so that you always feel like you're missing out on something 'divine' and 'healing' if you've never been there?Thomas Mann once said: 'See Venice and die'. But let's be honest, wouldn't he have been much better off saying: 'See Rome and die'? Because there's something about this city that you never forget once you've been there.
