November 3, 2009 at 9:03 am #105523 Seb PatrickKeymaster It’s not that A Bug’s Life isn’t good, it’s that it’s just not as wonderfully genius as Wall-E, Up, Ratatouille and the Toy Stories. November 3, 2009 at 10:13 am #105524 Ben PaddonParticipant A Bug’s Life really does get the short end of the stick a lot of the time. Pity really, as it’s not a bad movie. It’s just not as good as some of Pixar’s other stuff. As for Cars, now there’s a… it’s… what a total… hm. I don’t like it. It’s well made, but I don’t like it. November 3, 2009 at 10:15 am #105525 DaveParticipant I saw Ratatouille the other day. I liked it, but The Incredibles is still my favourite. November 3, 2009 at 10:45 am #105527 AndrewParticipant > You need to see the ones you haven?t seen, except for Cars. No, do see Cars. It’s excellent. You’ll want Mater as your best friend. > It?s not that A Bug?s Life isn?t good, it?s that it?s just not as wonderfully genius as Wall-E, Up, Ratatouille and the Toy Stories. This. November 3, 2009 at 1:38 pm #105534 fullmetalrazParticipant I must say im not too keen on “spanish Buzz”, but im thrilled for this more than ever! November 3, 2009 at 3:00 pm #105537 littlesmeggerParticipant I’m glad to see a few others agreeing about Cars being weak. It’s biggest issue is the plot kinda drags, and I’ve not seen one kid sit to watch it, without getting restless half way through. Cars was aimed at the wrong audience, as it visually cries out kiddy film, but narrativly shouts out grown up film. And why they’re bothering with a Cars 2 sequel before Monsters Inc 2, I really don’t understand. November 3, 2009 at 3:16 pm #105538 AndrewParticipant There are plenty of studios who’d give their eyeteeth to be able to put together a film as good as Cars. As with Bugs, it simply suffers in comparison. No question, though, it’s a contradictory film. The theme is about learning to slow down…but it ends up asking the audience to get behind a final Big Race. The subject matter is, as littlesmeggeer says, more adult. (Kids also get restless in the first half of The Incredibles. Their loss.) And it’s the first Pixar universe that falls apart when thought about too long. Hmm, I seem to be repeating what I said at the time: http://beforemyeyes.blogspot.com/2006/08/life-in-not-sure-which-lane.html (Oh, and yes – the cows. THE COWS!!!) November 3, 2009 at 9:46 pm #105547 Bob LoblawParticipant Monsters Inc. WALL-E Finding Nemo Toy Story 2 Cars Toy Story A Bug’s Life Up The Incredibles Ratatouille Everyone should see Cars. On Blu-ray. [homerdrool]carsonblu-ray[/homerdrool] November 4, 2009 at 5:01 am #105552 Ben PaddonParticipant There’s no denying that the animation in Cars looks pretty damned spiffy in HD, but it’s about fucking cars. That’s an inherently boring subject for me. November 4, 2009 at 9:57 am #105575 Seb PatrickKeymaster Cars Toy Story A Bug?s Life Up The Incredibles Ratatouille You’re insane. November 4, 2009 at 7:40 pm #105603 Tanya JonesParticipant >There?s no denying that the animation in Cars looks pretty damned spiffy in HD, but it?s about fucking cars. That?s an inherently boring subject for me. It’s not exactly Top Gear. Are you a stranger to subtext? November 4, 2009 at 8:29 pm #105606 Ben PaddonParticipant Obviously not, but there’s something about talking cars that I simply cannot get past. Some people can’t get past the “rats in the kitchen” element of Ratatouille, some people can’t get past the environmental message in Wall-E, and I can’t get past wide-eyed talking cars in Cars. November 4, 2009 at 8:31 pm #105607 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Not a Knight Rider fan, then? November 4, 2009 at 8:36 pm #105608 ori-STUDFARMParticipant Cars shouldn’t be allowed to talk….unless they can somehow transform themselves into giant robots. Hey now, there’s an idea….Right, I’m off to the patents office first thing in the morning… Oh shit!Forgot. I got extra PE for being so wet! November 4, 2009 at 9:49 pm #105611 Ben PaddonParticipant I liked Transformers when I was 8. I’m not 8 anymore. November 5, 2009 at 9:36 am #105640 DaveParticipant >I liked Transformers when I was 8. I?m not 8 anymore. I liked Transformers when I was 8, I like Transformers now I am 28 and I bought M.A.S.K. the other day on DVD, but I know what Ben means. I haven’t seen Cars but because it was about Cars I assumed I wouldn’t want to. Something about Cars made me ignore the fine work Pixar had produced in the past and assume the film would be a waste of my time. It’s very difficult to waste my time, my time is mostly worthless. November 5, 2009 at 12:00 pm #105643 Seb PatrickKeymaster >I liked Transformers when I was 8. I?m not 8 anymore. Funny, I’ve heard people say the same thing about: – Doctor Who – Red Dwarf – comic books – animated films Come on, Ben, you can’t have a go at people for being into something perceived as a “kids thing” when the majority of us are into at least one thing that other people might perceive as being for kids as well. I’m no Transformers fan but that’s a lame way of dismissing it. November 5, 2009 at 5:35 pm #105655 hummingbirdParticipant It’s way off the mark to dismiss animated films as being only for kids only. What about movies like Persepolis or Grave of the Fireflies? btw – I just discovered last night that Joss Whedon co-wrote the screenplay for Titan AE. OK, so it’s no Pixar movie, but I really like that film. November 5, 2009 at 8:53 pm #105671 Ben PaddonParticipant I never had a go. I’m just saying I grew out of Transformers. November 5, 2009 at 9:03 pm #105675 PetetranterssisterParticipant I like transformers they were cool and i really enjoyed the movie, now all we need is a thundercats movie! November 5, 2009 at 9:12 pm #105677 Jonathan CappsKeymaster > now all we need is a thundercats movie! Absolutely YES. November 5, 2009 at 9:20 pm #105678 The PerformingMonkeyParticipant I would love that but you just know they would fuck it up. Shia LaBeouf as Lion-O!! (actually I think someone like Andrew Garfield would be quite good). They could basically adapt the opening Exodus episodes as the film. One KEY element to get sorted (one that infuriates Thundercats fans the world over!) is the age-old ‘why don’t Wily-kat and Wily-kit age in hypersleep?’ They should show that ONLY Lion-O ages in hypersleep, due to some malfunction of some kind? though really it’s divine intervention of sorts. That means that it makes sense that Wily-kit and kat are still kids and yet Lion-O grows up. OR just axe that whole part of the story and have Lion-O an adult from word go, but that would suck (yes, suck). November 6, 2009 at 12:40 am #105684 Ben PaddonParticipant Tune in to sanity FM. Have you lot actually gone back and re-watched ThunderCats? It’s terrible! November 6, 2009 at 12:54 am #105686 John HoareParticipant I have. It certainly has its bad points – but overall it’s a massive bag of fun. And has a wonderful atmosphere. November 6, 2009 at 1:06 am #105688 AndrewParticipant I am genuinely saddened that – thanks to the He-Man and Thundercats legacy – it’s impossible now to do a non-ironic, pulse-quickening “Hero raises sward and issues magic chant” scene. Possibly drama’s greatest loss. November 6, 2009 at 3:26 am #105689 JoParticipant >I have. It certainly has its bad points – but overall it?s a massive bag of fun. And has a wonderful atmosphere. Which reminds me John, we have a Thundercats t-shirt at our house – I’m assuming that it’s yours? I brought it along to DJ with me and then promptly forgot to ask/give it back along with Karl’s “Put your faith in a loud guitar” one. Not sure what could have distracted me… :oP Back to the conversation… Someone recently mocked me for still owning ‘kids’ books such as Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and Alan Garner. Books that they admitted they’d read (at least some of) as a child but now had ‘grown out of’. PFFT! November 6, 2009 at 3:48 am #105692 John HoareParticipant I think that is mine, yes! I was obviously doing a sexy strip tease and flung it somewhere. November 6, 2009 at 5:00 am #105693 Ben PaddonParticipant And yet you hid yourself out of sight when Michelle and I crashed on your couch. Next time I expect dinner and a show! November 6, 2009 at 7:44 am #105694 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Thundercats has perhaps the greatest opening credits sequence of all time. The rest of the show…was OK. November 6, 2009 at 12:09 pm #105706 Danny StephensonKeymaster Don’t know if you guys have seen that, but it’s fairly well made. November 6, 2009 at 12:16 pm #105707 Danny StephensonKeymaster Actually, while we’re on the subject of Thundercats. I recently read on IMDb that James Lipton, the guy who does the “Inside The Actors Studio” interviews, did the music for the entire run of Thundercats. I wouldn’t mind if it was one music credit, but the ENTIRE RUN, and only on Thundercats? Hmm… odd November 6, 2009 at 12:28 pm #105709 AndrewParticipant To be fair they used the same music cues constantly… November 6, 2009 at 1:21 pm #105713 Danny StephensonKeymaster After a little bit of rooting, I found another name which is credited to all the music. Bernard Hoffer. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0388758/ November 6, 2009 at 1:44 pm #105715 Pete Part ThreeParticipant >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb50GMmY5nk That’s awesome. At first I thought it was a bunch of fans playing dress-up, but it’s very well done. November 6, 2009 at 6:37 pm #105732 The PerformingMonkeyParticipant While Pitt is too old for Lion-O I think Vin Diesel and Hugh Jackman would be such perfect casting for Panthro and Tigra. But come on, like Jackman would do it after Wolverine. November 6, 2009 at 7:25 pm #105741 Jonathan CappsKeymaster Terry O’Quinn for Panthro. November 6, 2009 at 7:32 pm #105743 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Me 4 Cheetarah November 6, 2009 at 7:33 pm #105744 JoParticipant 4EVA! IDST February 11, 2010 at 6:54 pm #108767 Pete Part ThreeParticipant http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/414184/toy_story_3_the_brand_new_trailer.html New trailer. And still no sign that the plot is anything more than “The Toys race to be reunited with Andy”. Sigh. February 12, 2010 at 5:46 pm #108779 Bob LoblawParticipant I laughed a lot during that. Don’t see Pixar making a bad film at this point. February 12, 2010 at 8:00 pm #108782 pfmParticipant > And still no sign that the plot is anything more than ?The Toys race to be reunited with Andy?. Sigh. And that’s any less-complex than ‘the Toys set out to rescue Woody’ how? Because, on the face of it, that’s all Toy Story 2 is. Up is ‘an old guy ties balloons to his house, oh and there’s a kid’. If you look at it in that way they’re always gonna sound pretty naff, and yet we know how brilliant Toy Story 2 and Up are. Even though it’s not Lasseter directing and Andrew Stanton writing I think we can still trust Pixar with this. There’s no way either of them completely stayed away from this project anyway. Both of them were obviously just too busy to take it on fully. I love that Ken is a new main character. For some reason it’s bloody hilarious! February 12, 2010 at 11:26 pm #108785 Nick RParticipant Loads of Easter eggs in the trailer: http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/02/12/toy-story-3-trailer-easter-eggs-revealed/ I like the wooden block Lightning McQueen toy. But best of all: Totoro! Author Posts Viewing 43 posts - 51 through 93 (of 93 total) 1 2 Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
