times they felt bad about cracking a 7-year-old kid in the face with a chair. >> jimmy: your lawyer came on the set and said, "i don't think you should do this very much." >> not so much. >> jimmy: "scott pilgrim versus the world," let's talk about this move. very cool movie. >> this movie is awesome. so awesome. i love talking about this movie. i've been doing interviews about it for weeks, but i also have been talking to my friends about it. it's just a really awesome movie. they ask me what it's about and i can usually break it down to about a sentence. i say, "scott pilgrim falls for this girl, but in order to date her he must battle and defeat her seven evil exes." >> jimmy: there you go, explains it. >> it's an original concept, very bizarre, but to actually talk about the experience of what it's like, i just go on and on for half an hour and end up telling people, "you know what, you kind of have to see this and experience it for yourself." >> jimmy: it's like a video game, he has to fight these guys and it's very surreal and a lot of effects. >> it's awesome. it's based off a comic book series, by brian liam alley, edgar wright directed this. he directed "hot fuzz" and

"shaun of the dead" which are awesome movies. >> jimmy: yeah. with simon pegg.

[ laughter ] >> come on, scott, i wasn't trying to trick you. >> hey, buddy, look, if she's really the girl of your dreams, then have you to let her know. you have to overcome any and all obstacles that lie in your path. you can do it. be with her, it's your destiny.
