To tell you the truth I was one of the people who watched for nothing. I was eleven. What can I say?
I can say I loved the thought of being able to use a hat to fly. How much awesomeness was that? Better than an umbrella!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Its the people who watched it for nothing who have something to be ashamed of.
What charming contempt. Was this before or after she was surprised people really liked her?

An interesting article on Wall-E, Pixar, and comparing Pixar's style to Dreamworks.

Why the fuck is Pixar making Cars 2? That's their least appealing movie.
I want Incredibles 2, dammit!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Surprisingly, I don't agree with this. I kind of like them leaving it as it is. I don't want a sequel to potentially fuck up what I feel was damn near a perfect film.

I don't care. I just want their design team to make another supervillain lair. Plus, at least throw me an Edna Mode short.
Also, Cars sucked.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, Cars sucked.
What? No it didn't! It wasn't Pixar's best work and I'm confused as hell about why it needs a sequel, but in no way did it suck.

Compassionately intolerant
I have to agree with the sucking of Cars. I chuckled once or twice but I'm accustomed to being all 'awwwed' and charmed by anything Pixar. I get the audience appeal of the NASCAR niche, but it does nothing for me personally. Can't say I'd go see Cars 2 unless there was something truly remarkable about it.
Wall-E, on the other hand, I'm going to have to see.

I have yet to see Cars, so I have no opinion on its suckage.
