Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness

Trash Theory | December 27, 2025



So I’ve watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World more than pretty much any other film. I’ve now quoted it so much it has become part of my day to day vocabulary. So yeah…Its something of a masterpiece in my eyes. Watching it recently with commentary there is the following conversation between director Edgar Wright and author Bryan Lee O’Malley:

Edgar Wright: Is there an album you think should be played alongside Scott Pilgrim, Dark Side of the Moon style?
Bryan Lee O’Malley: Maybe something by the Smashing Pumpkins.
EW: Oh there you go. Well Obviously like… The Infinite Sadness. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Soundtrack:
Hillcrest Park – Nigel Godrich (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Original Score)
Love Me Some Walking – Nigel Godrich (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Original Score)
Aftermath – Nigel Godrich (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Original Score)

    Wizard of Oz and Tool Ænima sync so well. I can't remember the sync point but when I did it, it was incredible. H lyrics about a storm as the twister hits Kansas. The munchkins dance to Danny's drum solo in 46&2. The witch threatens Dorothy during Message to Harry Manback. So trippy.

    I'll take you at your word; that the CD set play list doesn't sync up well. However, I have the three-album original released vinyl of Melon Collie. Noteworthy because unlike the modern four-album release, the three-album's songs were put in the order that Billy Corgan wanted them to be heard in (honestly, one listen and you know why. It improves the album by at least 20%). If Edgar Wright is the SP nerd claimed to be, maybe this is the play list order that syncs up? lol, should be a fun evening.

    Fantasia original with Siamese dream. Has to be the VHS version. The. Dvd has extra interviews. Start, cherub rock so the drumming starts on the conductors down stroke

    I love finding synch points between two pieces of unrelated media played together. I remember watching E3 a lot on a stream put on by a certain website where the host would play random crap over game reveal trailers, and everyone would go crazy when it just happened to synch perfectly.

    First of all, your channel is spectacular. Your commentary is spot on and I love your subject matter. Second thing is that synchronicity is a trip. I watched Fantasia while listening to Nine Inch Nails The Fragile's 2 disks then finished with Further Down the Spiral and had an amazing once in a lifetime experience. We were cheering it on. Magic is made when you combine things…and some acid helps. Natch

    It's probably not completely a coincidence, maybe Mellon Collie is a influence, but it's not the only influence used in the movie. Stealing from one thing is theft, stealing from multiple things are sources.
