Back in August, Jason Schwartzman got cryptic when he addressed his upcoming "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" battle. Even though he could only hint at his role in the film's final fisticuffs, the star was keen on sharing his overall experience playing the evil Gideon.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, Schwartzman praised director Edgar Wright, as well as his Scott Pilgrim challenger Michael Cera for contributing to an enjoyable experience.
“I had so much fun [on ‘Scott Pilgrim’],” said Schwartzman. “I was working with two people I admire so much, Edgar Wright, [the director of] ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz,’ and Michael Cera, who in my view is the best [actor] working. I got to learn how to sword fight and battle and I got to go up on the wires for some flying kicks and stuff.” Read more...

Clay Moore. It's all in my retweet mix list below, along with Stan Lee on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Jim Lee with some "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" artwork and "Halo" art from Todd McFarlane.

(Oh, and here's Splash Page editor @RickMarshall's review of "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies"—just in case you missed it yesterday.)
