Where the hell is the Vince McMahon talkback? by zillabeast	Jun 11th, 2007 11:42:21 PM
Seriously? That was one of the best damn write-off of a TV character ever. Puts that Sopranos finale to shame.
Possible hope for a decent animated flick. by LoneGun	Jun 11th, 2007 11:45:02 PM
It's nice to hear that Pixar is doing a film about actual humans beings and not some goofy, cross-eyed animals.
The John Carter of Mars by jimmy_009	Jun 11th, 2007 11:50:18 PM
Sounds like a stretch. It would be their first unoriginal property, and something tells me it ain't happenin'.
WALKER TEXAS RANGER IS BACK ON DVD by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 11th, 2007 11:54:20 PM
oh man that commercial is hilarious. anyway zillabeast wrestling is horrible but i love watching it because its hilarious because of how dumb it is. AND fingers crossed for toy story 3 because if it isnt as good as any of the first two THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!
AND BY HELL TO PAY I MEANT by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 11th, 2007 11:55:02 PM
pixar will make me cry
Sounds vague by Bagheera	Jun 11th, 2007 11:55:12 PM
but it could be awesome. What could the title mean?

Interesting...
Ratatouille was so fucking good. by TheEnemy8	Jun 12th, 2007 12:39:48 AM
Just got back from the Drafthouse screening of the latest from Pixar and it was awesome. I love Pixar and just hope Toy Story 3 doesn't suck ass, which it most likely won't. so good.
It is still 1995, I don't care what you say... by Alonzo Mosely	Jun 12th, 2007 12:52:59 AM
And I am still young, desirable to the ladies, able to do copious amounts of drugs and fuck all night and with a bright future with endless possibilities...
The April fool's joke... by WONKABAR	Jun 12th, 2007 12:54:42 AM
was about JCOM being live-action and directed by Brad Bird. It turned out that Bird will be doing 1906...but Pixar supposedly IS thinking about doing JCOM as their first live-action film. Which is quite a bit more of a departure than just being their first unoriginal property. I know that sounds crazy, but that's how the news stands right now. And I don't know how it could really still be "Pixar" if it's live (maybe a 300-style, 90% animated type of deal?) If that's the case then god knows when they're planning on going into production. It could even come out sooner than some of those other films perhaps. In any case, they seem to have some un-usual ideas as far as approach that they're being tight-lipped about. There's also been some interesting developments involving Zemeckis that might have some impact on JCOM. Of course, it's all speculation at this point. I just hope as a fan of the material that there's some big announcement they're holding back...I'd much rather see a JCOM-flick sooner rather in 2000-teen-something.
Still the best CGI flicks by Mista Mann	Jun 12th, 2007 12:59:45 AM
Pixar continues to come up with the best themes and stories for their movies. I may see Cars as a blemish, but at least they don't make 8,000 goddamned all talking animal movies. Or try to cash in on penguin fever.
Tired of these CGI kid flicks... by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 12th, 2007 01:05:55 AM
Really. Sick and tired. Why can't they produce a decent CGI flick for adults, Robocop style?
Being a colossal "Monsters, Inc." fan... by a goonie	Jun 12th, 2007 01:12:30 AM
...the idea of Pete Docter directing this has me extremely excited. Plus, it's fucking Pixar. They still haven't let me down, not even with last year's "Cars," which I was sure was going to be the first Pixar flick to completely suck. The more Pixar the better, if you ask me!
CGI flick for adults, Robocop style by Allfather Starr	Jun 12th, 2007 01:19:05 AM
Yes. Fucking. Please!
UP... by taco-island	Jun 12th, 2007 01:31:36 AM
"UP" couldn't possibly be an acronym for "Upper Peninsula," could it? It's the second week of deer camp and all the guys are here...
what the?! by zelusfin	Jun 12th, 2007 01:34:20 AM
2010 for ts3? and anyway, if there is a sequel to be made it should be for the incredibles. that was an awesome flick (despite the almost fantastic four feel, the ff were definitely the peg for this one). i'd like to see what jack jack can really do.
AINT IT OLD NEWS by RokurGepta	Jun 12th, 2007 01:40:08 AM
this info is OLD, NEWS is supposed to be NEW
I thought they abandoned Toy Story 3. by Cotton McKnight	Jun 12th, 2007 01:53:30 AM
There was some groundwork laid on that by disney but when the takeover took place, Pixar scrapped it. Am right about that?
Not THAT old.... by WONKABAR	Jun 12th, 2007 02:02:54 AM
The Variety link is from yesterday and CHUD posted it too. They even gave some JC-love and some for HG too. Hey Disney/Pixar...what's up? JC has a certain mystique now, people who were clueless are now curious. You paid for the rights...again. Get busy fuckers!
Cotton McKnight by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 12th, 2007 02:03:20 AM
disney was trying to move along on their own with toy story 3 before they aquired pixar. the story was something like : there was a recall on buzz lightyear toys everywhere, so buzz gets sent back to japan and woody and friends have to save him. but then disney got pixar then pixar abandoned disneys plot and started all over. in fact this is a perfect time for wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T oy_Story_3

Voice talent? by Ruddy Heck	Jun 12th, 2007 02:09:23 AM
I reckon they should start using dedicated voice actors for these movies. Billy West, Frank Welker, Maurice LaMarche etc. could bring so much to these movies.
Pixar release dates by RokurGepta	Jun 12th, 2007 02:10:01 AM
"WALL * E" (June 27th 2008) "Up" (June 12th 2009) Toy Story 3 (Summer 2010) http://www.darkhorizons.com/ne ws07/070610d.php
Wait, it's called "Up?" by ROBRAM89	Jun 12th, 2007 02:34:28 AM
Like the old Russ Meyer movie!? That's a weird association. Not that it can be bad to associate yourself with Kitten Natividad running naked through the woods.
RokurGepta, as admins have constantly pointed out... by Lenny Nero	Jun 12th, 2007 02:40:18 AM
...it's not a race to see who posts stories first. Unless there's the word "EXCLUSIVE" in the title, you shouldn't even bring this gripe up.
Does it start with Hitler getting cornholed? by Some Dude	Jun 12th, 2007 02:58:52 AM
Then it shouldn't be called "Up!"
Toy Story 3 was scrapped... by Obscura	Jun 12th, 2007 04:27:48 AM
I asked one of their animators about this a week after the disney-pixar deal was announced, and he said they had scrapped all work that had so far been done. He quite rightly said he thought the fans would want a Toy Story film done by the origial crew. Apparently toy story 3 was looking VERY different to the first two.
JCOM...Later by JasonEdwards80	Jun 12th, 2007 05:13:14 AM
According to Jon Favreau's old JCOM myspace group, Disney bought the rights with hopes of PIXAR branching out. He also mentioned that it could be a while before they work on the project he has been in talks with the Burroughs Family for quite a while and was pushing for it to be made, then they tell him he's out. Not in bad words but still. He told us it was a sad story. I hope they go Live Action.

Toy Story 3 by webbigail	Jun 12th, 2007 06:51:03 AM
To all of you who are confused about TS3 ... Disney (not Pixar) had the rights to TS and had started work on a TS3, but when the two companies merged, Disney scrapped their work so that Pixar could make TS3. Got it?
webbigail by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 12th, 2007 07:00:47 AM
thats basically what i said but you said it better
UP not the Upper Pennisula, taco-island! by theBigE	Jun 12th, 2007 07:31:51 AM
I've seen some stills from the film, and it didn't look like the UP to me, eh!? No pasties, no deer, no miles of scrub cedar trees. But that premise would make a good pixar film! We need a CGI remake of Escanaba in da Moonlight!
Incredibles 2, anyone? by MemBirdman	Jun 12th, 2007 08:07:40 AM
That's what I want to see.

sounds like pixar is giving an ecological lesson by pipergates	Jun 12th, 2007 09:18:18 AM
good for them, its the most important message these days. but then get on with some serious teen/adult immersible scifi! mars, john carter, incredibles, whatever.

wasn't the john carter rumor a april fools joke? by StovetopStuffin'	Jun 12th, 2007 10:11:57 AM
I'm pretty sure it was.
Woah, Pixar John Carter? Sweet... by jrbarker	Jun 12th, 2007 11:05:43 AM
I seemed to have missed news about that.
I love Pixar by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 12th, 2007 11:13:24 AM
I was in my twenties and had no shame seeing Toy Story with my buddies (no kids). It was amazing. All their concepts, and the rendering thereof, have been brilliant. The stories are clever and tight, the characters are memorable, and the voice actors have all done-top notch jobs (they know how to pick their damn voice actors). And damn, Holly Hunter's Elastigirl is the sexist animated female I have ever seen, ever. I had impure thoughts about her.
Was there a CGI robocop flick? by SlickyVonBoner	Jun 12th, 2007 11:33:57 AM
Huh? How? Where? Is this true?
Please let John Carter be animated and PG13 by Movietool	Jun 12th, 2007 12:15:14 PM
There's no chance, I know, but still, a boy can dream
Screw Toy Story 3 -- I want Incredibles 2 by ATARI	Jun 12th, 2007 12:30:46 PM
'nuff said.
long live PIXAR by TimBenzedrine	Jun 12th, 2007 01:29:37 PM
I'd love to see PIXAR do some kind of Mad Monster Party film, something that revisits the old horror films.
Best Animation Studio - Current by Gabriel Alexander	Jun 12th, 2007 02:26:07 PM
Pixar's definitely on a roll. Disney would have been seriously wounded it they had let Pixar slip through their fingers. I agree, best animation studio currently around with a nod to Miyazaki and Ghibli. John Carter of Mars - oh yeah. And let's hope Bird's next project will be Incredibles 2.
I need Elastigirl naked by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 12th, 2007 02:31:27 PM
...and please create a blonde "friend" for her as well. Thank you in advance, Pixar.
Yeeesh.... by TimBenzedrine	Jun 12th, 2007 03:38:54 PM
You know, some people take their love of cartoons just a little too far...
JCOM by Automaton Overlord	Jun 12th, 2007 04:14:25 PM
I thought Disney was starting a whole new company just to do motion-capture movies,with Laseter and zemekis in charge. their first project was supposed to be beowulf and then A Princess of Mars. Is this not true? Anybody? I'm desperate for Burroughs/Mars movie news! HARRY FIND OUT!
70-year-old? Is this the new Indiana Jones movie? by Flim Springfield	Jun 12th, 2007 05:25:13 PM

Remember when TS2 was gonna be D-T-V? by TheSeeker7	Jun 12th, 2007 05:48:27 PM
Somebody else around here remembers that, right? The original chartered course with the first TOY STORY sequel was just gonna be straight to video (before DVD got so big, of course). Then somebody high up said wait a sec, are we fucking nuts? Another one a'these is gonna be huge! To the theatre we go!!
elastgirl got back by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 12th, 2007 06:32:04 PM
seriously that thing good. i wanna be friends with it.
seeker by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 12th, 2007 06:35:33 PM
yea i heard of that. then they wacthed it and relized toy story 2 was actually GOOD. unlike the aladin and lion king sequels. and what about the land before time movies? they still make those people THEY STILL FUCKIN MAKE THOSE!
JCOM at least PG-13 by JasonEdwards80	Jun 13th, 2007 03:23:22 PM
It would be near difficult to make JCOM "Princess of Mars" anything but PG-13 or R. Now if we can only get it Live Action or "300" style Cg look.
