Fuck you Pixar. Seriously....just fuck off. And take those fat ass man child so called directors with you straight to fucking hell.

Unbelievable, man, it's unfuckin' believable. Fuckin' ass.

Three films I like-- Empire of The Sun, Millions, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

And I'm a big fan of animation in general. I love classic Disney, stop-motion animation, all Don Bluth's work, etc. This just looks formulaic and dull.

And FINALLY I understand the squirrel joke. Never thought it'd make me laugh, not knowing what it was exactly, but seeing it here got a big reaction from me.

Bird looks funny too.

But What makes the "dog" bit so funny isn't that this is a talking dog...it is that it is just a dog, the reactions are spot on. If you've ever had a dog..you've seen that look.

As for the fact that the location doesn't look exotic enough..that is because this is supposedly modeled on a real life location..the area around Angel Falls in Venezuela. As for the insane bird..that's pure fantasy.

Come on Dickblood,..I know it doesn't have Bale, and as such will be the lessor for it, but as a professional, let your inner kid out for a second and give it a chance.

just saying...

MUST...HAVE...ABILITY...TO EDIT

Is the film about his relationship with his older brother? Or the possibility his dead mother is an angel? The kids are on the run for thieves, except they don't really run so much as just stay home.

Boyle already made a BETTER film about how a large sum of money changes people, and it was called Shallow Grave.

But honestly, TDK is one of the top ten movies I've seen this decade, and I'll put The Prestige on that list as well. Nolan's LESSER works only include Batman Begins, Memento, Insomnia and Following. Two great movies, and two decent movies. Nolan may be the second best director working today. I shouldn't have to specify who is first.

For instance, a guy going up in the sky sounds boring. No one would buy that script if Pixar wasn't pushing it. But Pixar knows how to tell a story, so I give them the benefit of the doubt.

When I was a kid, I assumed I would grow up and become a ninja.

You seriously enjoy Finding Nemo? Come on. Its obnoxious and horrid and I wanted both the fucking clown fish to die. Yet I still tear up when Fiefel is running around screaming PAPA, in An American Tail.

Does anyone remember when Harry used to call stupid shit out? He said JJ Abrams wrote the single worst script he ever read, and now Harry thinks JJ is a god who can do no wrong. Go figure.

The trailer did a good job of selling that the movie is about more than a man and his balloon lifted house. Which I'm pretty sure a lot of people had been questioning on the basis of previous trailers.

WALL-E

THE INCREDIABLES

RATATOILLE

TO Y STORY 2

CARS

A BUGS LIFE

TOY STORY

MONSTERS, INC

FINDING NEMO

I don't know what that says about me, but that's where I stand

PIXAR can do no wrong in my eyes. Dont get the hate. They havent actually made a bad film yet, just a couple that were mearly average - like Nemo and Cars

Is that James Belushi doing the voice? Or Ratzenberger again?

Well, except for Danny because I assume even at 5 he was, "Fuck this... fuck that... something about balls".

Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indy, Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories, Color Purple, ET, Poltergeist, Empire of the Sun, Jurassic Park, Schindler's Mother-Fucking List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, War of the Worlds, Munich, etc.

He can do a summer blockbuster like no one else. The man invented the summer blockbuster. However, he can do Oscar-bait as well as anyone. He can make a kids film like ET, or Hook. He doesn't make films for critics. All he does is consistently make great movies.

And while people were upset that he kept the original ending to War of the Worlds (bash a man for respecting source material, or bash him for not respecting source material, you just can't win) there is no doubting that the movie was brutal and terrifying. And while he was rushing War of the Worlds, he was quietly doing Munich, which is a damned fine movie. We expect Spielberg to be great, almost to the point that we take him for granted.

But then Aniston had to be the corporate-towing bitch...

Has anyone noticed how the bottom of her face looks unsettlingly like Dustin Hoffman?! She's got his mouth!!

I'm a huge animation fan; I enjoy it more than live action, so I absolutely get the enthusiasm people have for Pixar movies, but their movies just don't fit my particular taste (particularly that they constantly fall into lazy formula like Disney's 90's fare and ephemeral topical references like Dreamworks' stuff). And I get the appeal of, and appreciate, the artistry, but only The Incredibles brought all the elements together: a worthy script, brilliant design, and fun voice acting (despite the -- I think, unintentional? -- creepy Randian undertone). And yes, I am aware Bird disavowed the accusations, despite having flirted with Objectivism for a time.

But nothing Pixar has done so far has equaled the astonishing, brilliance of episodes of Samurai Jack when the show hit it's stride. Now if only Tartakovsky and his crew at Orphanage could get some things up on the screen, I'd be as fucknutty anticipatory as Pixar fans.

As for Genndy, the most exciting thing I've heard is that Jon Favreau realises the action in IM was a bit bleh and proved he's not all ego by employing Genndy to make that shit pop (after being wowed by SJ) this time around. Awe-some.

Rainmaker (or Mainframe) eh? Mmm. You said were a huge animation fan, not huge animation nerd. ;) Don't you think you're overstating things just a leeeetle bit? If by profound you mean bringing it to the lowest common denominator mainstream by delivering a weekly dose of reheated clichéd plots and bad design wrapped up in cookie-cutter techno-clothes for the geeks then... yes, I guess you're right. And maybe a little biased.

And yes of course I'd like more variety in Animation. But as far as targeted age range - this is one where I see Pixar as being way ahead of the rest. They TRULY make movies for the widest age range. Usually "family movie" is a fucking euphemism for "kids' movie". But not with Pixar. They write double-barrelled stuff that works for both young and old at the same damn time! And if they do pop-culture references, those are usually wrapped in something integral to plot or character. If a kid is too young to have seen Star Wars they still get that Buzz makes a funny astronaut breathing sound inside his helmet. Adults get both that AND the Vader joke. When he rolls out of the way the kids get the joke of a stupid world globe being like a boulder about to crush him. We get that AND the Raiders in-joke. The fact that these morality lessons/fables wrapped in comedy/buddy movie/road movie trappings are viewed as childish because they're animated - is the audience's myopia. They see the same thing in live-action 'adult' movies all the time but don't saddle it with the same baggage... Anyway I'm coming off like a planty mcplant but I don't think you can say targeted age range is an issue - because it sounds more like you're actually sort of saying a NARROWER age range (when you say target), which seems like a step back in some ways. I do think that will come eventually though as the stories become more specific and smaller in scope, and the directors do the same.

Anyway sorry for the slight misinterpretation dude. And "Dingbatty" eh? Typography freak?

Took me a bit longer to get around to it though (they opened up the rego again too). What can I say? I was FUCKING DISTRACTED!!
