If you follow me on Twitter or have heard me on ‘Doug Love Movies’, you’ll know I’m slightly obsessed with the name tags of cinema staff members that declare their favourite movie of all time under their christian name.
But here’s a twist. Josh from AMC Century City is saying that Guillermo Del Toro’s monster mash ‘Pacific Rim’ is his all time favourite movie a good 14 months before it’s actual release!
I commend Josh for this and admire his optimism and positivity. Get him two tickets to the premiere. He should be rewarded for this movie faith.
I may even take after Josh and start wearing a badge saying, “Edgar | Favorite Movie | Prometheus”.
Thanks to Jesse Hawthorne, Midnite For Maniacs, Alex Pardee, the tireless staff of the Castro and all 1500 of you crazy cats who stayed in the cinema with me from 7pm to nearly 3am.
It was so worth the road trip up to the beautiful Bay Area. If only to see the most wonderful marquee in all of the cinema. Love you, San Francisco.

Page one, indeed.
Text book even.

Also worth noting: I am short.
Here’s a final photo blog of everything we could cram in on our last day in Tokyo. One last montage featuring myself, Michael Cera, Eric ‘Kid Koala’ San and Keita Saito.
So come with us on a whirlwind final day of Shibuya, Nakano Broadway, Ginza and finally Narita airport.
Thanks to all the fans and press for the lovely welcome and much love to our amazing team, Nori, Hiro, Amanda, Masayo, Yumi, Yoshiko and everyone at Astaire and Dentsu.
To everyone in Japan, enjoy the film on April 29th!
Could this be the final leg of the ‘Scott Pilgrim’ press tour?
If so, it’s been a blast. Thank you all.
A night off in Tokyo. DDay One, Diana Chiaki and the boy genius Kid Koala on the decks. Finger Twister in Golden Walk. Wish you were here…
This is the record of a jam packed day off in Tokyo. We begin at the amazing Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, then move to ramen in Shibuya, then into the dense jungle of department store Tokyu Hands where we met with Kid Koala himself, Eric San.
After that, things get more crazy, as the photos should indicate…

My room in the Rica Maritim Hotel in Haugesund, Norway is called the Liv Ullman suite in tribute to the legendary Norwegian actress.
Pretty classy, eh?
But guess what, the cafe in the very same hotel is a loving pop art tribute to none other than 80′s French Resistance sitcom ‘Allo ‘Allo’
That Vicki Michelle gets equal wallspace to Liv Ullman makes this the best hotel ever.
