The Road that Leads to The Infinite Sadness

So far all you've been given are hints.  I feel like I'm robbing people of the experience.  The disbelief, however valid, has surely toppled over any suggestion of this album/movie fusion absurdity.  Now it's time to see it for yourself.

I had been listening to MCIS for days at the time I was watching this film, and something about this scene with "THE INFINITE SADNESS" stirred something in me.  It wasn't anything to do with the comic, it was the timing.  Some natural instinct kicked in, and something was telling me that this was placed very peculiarly at a moment in time.  Something somber and melodic came to mind.  It was the first moment I had some nagging feeling about it, and I had to find out if my feelings were more than just nostalgic wondering? 

I love nostalgia.  I thought it out realistically about the only way it would happen if my assumption was correct.  What does the beginning of the film and the album have in common? 

Kim knows

The answer is a slow beginning, and then it begins a glorious rocking introduction. 
Kim is the leader.  This you must pay close attention to.

But before that, here's a really big tip.  If you don't have the MCIS album, get it.  Push play and start the movie.  Depending on what medium you're using to watch the film, differences on starting time must vary.  But I've found that the general idea is about a 7-8 second head start on the album.

That's right, track 01"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" begins at -00:07

movie time.  What does that mean?

That means this movie is literally inside the album's start to finish. (both discs)

Huh.. I wonder why no one has figured it out...

Don't worry you're not blind, there's more than one way to completely pull the wool over the public's eyes, and Edgar Wright and whoever else behind this did just that.  We'll get to that later...

So if you don't want to screw around with watching the beginning, this is the short cut.  In fact, it was the only logical way to first see it to believe it.

The next track is the one and only "Tonight, Tonight"

If you start at track 02, you follow Kim's lead and she will begin the whole symphony.  All of a sudden the band is transformed.

Prepare yourself, you might get goosebumps.

Here is your first real viewing of the great Scott Pilgrim VS The World, the way it was meant to be seen.

But that's not all there is to it.  There is some room for interpretation about how the scenes are being played out, but some parts can deteriorate the consistency if not properly lined up.  So to be fair, I should mention that if you're following Kim's lead, the moment she strikes the cymbal on her drum kit is when the music should begin.  What this means for your music player is that any delay in beginning the track will effect the outcome.  In other words, you might need to play earlier.  Secondly, THERE IS a delay on the track itself, so you DO need to hit play early enough for the beginning of the song to land on her first beat.  It's little things like these that make this experiment a rocky climb in the beginning.  The trick is, don't get too technical about it, go with your gut.  Maybe hit play on Kim's "THREE!" to get the head start.  Whatever works for you.
