    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of my all time favorite movies and Cera really brings so much life and character to the movie. He's brilliant, hilarious, and perfect as Scott. Really enjoyed hearing his articulation and description of all his roles, the environment, and the people he's worked with! One of the best actors imo.

    his point about smaller-scale movies no longer being funded by studios is so real. like he said, unless it’s guaranteed success (so a superhero movie or live action remake or sequel) there’s very rarely a budget anymore. which is so unfortunate and ultimately really hurting the film industry.

      ​@@BaldiB704 I think there might be a bit of loosing the point, and point is that in the way movies are consumed nowadays (only streaming and big cinema presentations) only allow producers to do a film if they're going all the way through,with them, and there is no real space for simple story's that can bring the public another kind of more everyday feelings. Or maybe there are story's of those, but in the form of big series with the same amount of budget of a multi-millionaire film.

    His observation about Arrested Development is spot on. The kids being messed up and immoral like the adults really adds comedy depth to the characters that no other show does with kid characters. Alia Shawkat and him were both incredible in that show and their comedic timing was insane especially considering they were only kids filming it.

    i met him once when he visited the restaurant i worked in about an hour outside Toronto. he just hung out in our lounge by the fireplace with a few of his friends for about an hour; he was really chill and extremely humble. seemed like he mostly wanted to stay under the radar but he did greet all of us very personably. one of the best celebrity encounters i’ve had!

    He always talks about how much he values his friendships. the importance of his friendship with jonah and the rest of the cast during superbad, the sadness at the loss of the friendships with the cast at the end of the filming of scott pilgrim, the fact that he mentions that his friends still play poker in LA while hes lived elsewhere for a few years. its come up in other interviews too
