5 Reasons Why I Like Scott Pilgrim.

1. The movie is basically written in pop-culture language. Grungy music, comic books, video games, ex-boyfriends, awkward teens, martial arts...I just can't seem to hate any of that.
2. Unpretentious. Though the script and dialogues are very shallow (as expected) but Scott Pilgrim does not try to preach nor teach you any lesson, which is great. I hate movies who has things blowing up on the screen but try to cram lessons down your throat at the same time. Scott says what needed to be said and does what needed to be done. No extraneous, exhaustive dialogues.
3. Visually daring. It's very colorful and there's always something cool to grab your attention that pops onto the screen every couple of seconds. A stylistic approach that is so bizarre but works surprisingly well. That's the reason why we love our video game and animes...right?
4. Quirky. From mystical powers that involves evil hipster chicks to vegan with psychic powers, the movie keeps us wondering what will Scott fight next and the thing he does in order to defeat the evil exes.
5. It's frenetically fun. This is the movie where all rational thoughts are dead. It's perhaps the closest any filmmaker has come yet to translating comic book material directly to the movie screen. No logic required...because it is just comic book, when does comic book ever need logic. That's why they invented them in the first place...for the fun of it.
Those are my top 5 reasons why I like Scott Pilgrim.
Have you seen it? Do you love it or hate it? Post a comment as I love to hear what you guys think.
Xperia X10 pinch to zoom?
SE just announced that they are working really hard to bring such feature to the Xperia X10. Omg that's really lame, with all the technologies SE still lacks pinch to zoom feature which almost every top bracket smartphone posses nowadays.
My advice, stay away from the Xperia X10. It is not a good phone anyway. It just lacking in every aspects that todays market could offer you. There are loads of better android phones out there.

Mobile blogging
If you're an apple user, and also blogs, these two apps would certainly worth a try. BlogBooster and BlogSpace are two great apps for blogging on the apple device. That is, if you don't want to jailbreak your device.
BlogBooster features a complete blogging tool with rich text and pictures support via Picasa integration. The free version does not support multiple account posting.
If you're looking for something simpler then the BlogSpace is indeed the app you'd want to check out. BlogSpace also features Picasa integration with an option to embed YouTube videos into post.
Both apps are available for free on AppStore.
