The Scott Pilgrim movie might actually not suck, surprisingly enough. Metric on the soundtrack + Edgar Wright directing + largely unknown cast + giant foam hammers - Michael Cera = could be pretty good.
From the look of what I've seen, stills from the Scott Pilgrim shoot, they've gone for glossy -- part of the charm of the comic is how low rent the guy's life is, you know that apartment he lives in smells funky and has that fakey wood panelling on the walls, and when he steps onto that wooden staircase to go out it moves around under his feet like it's going to pull out of the wall --
But if they made it like it should look, it'd look like a mumblecore film and that would turn the mass film consumer off.
I hope Warners takes a film option on 'Mazing Man or the Inferior Five.
