Also out this week: House of Tolerance, the new one from wanton controversialist and professional smug bastard Bertrand Bonello. Deeply offensive on almost every level, the film is nonetheless an engaging way to spend 122 minutes — if only because it answers the age old question: what would a Lars von Trier remake of Showgirls look like?
The full-length trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World found its merry way onto the internet earlier today and like the teaser, it’s an embarrassment of riches. Check it out above and then feel free to peruse our 10 favourite bits…
1
IT’S BEEN RATED The PG-13 was to be expected, but the myriad offenses are a neat surprise. I wonder what drugs will be ‘referenced’ amongst all the stylised violence? And could this mean a 15 certificate over here? Almost certainly not…
2
KIERAN CULKIN This is the first time we’ve had more than a fleeting glimpse of Mr. Culkin, but trust me, he will be the best thing in this movie.
3
THE DRUM SAYS ‘DRUM’ Meta!
4
EVEN MORE ASPECT RATIO SHIFTS And some of them are mental fast. The one above only takes 2 frames to shift. 2 AWESOME FRAMES!
5
ACTION DOCTOR may be the best movie title ever committed to a poster. This needs to be a real Chris Evans movie, and fast.
6
THIS BIT IS BEAUTIFUL Just look at it.
7
EVERY SINGLE BIT HAS AN EFFECT And while this could be annoying in other circumstances, here it seems entirely natural.
8
THERE IS A SEX SCENE And it takes place inside an Ikea catalogue.

WATCHING THE TEASER, I DIDN’T NOTICE… … the amount of stuff that goes all pixelated in the action scenes. What a lovely touch.
