We saw Toy Story 3 this weekend. They did SUCH a good job. Casper now takes it for granted that I will cry in Pixar movies, and she herself was crying in fear as they headed towards the incinerator .
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
From a few days ago,
(I've probably mentioned, but the gypsy is a friend's aunt.)
Hunh. the gypsy is also FAQWife's former boss's aunt. Is your friend's name Liza by any chance, Strega?

quick-edit formatting is your friend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Quick-edits on the iPhone are HUGELY annoying because of the auto-corrects. It takes almost as long to convince it to type a lowercase i as it does to just navigate to the wakas.

move out and draw fire
Some of those were crypoints for me, if by crypoint you mean "20 minutes of tears streaming down my face."
And some were crypoints for my DH, if by crypoints you mean "crying so hard he can't see."
For Mal, he had his hands over his eyes for the whole conveyor belt/incinerator scene.
I think a lot of it is that they are our toys too. I mean, we've had those characters for 15 years. I owned both DVDs before I had a kid. So it was lovely to have a goodbye, and in a way it was the goodbye most of us never get with our actual special toys.
And then there's the whole "watching our kids grow up" part.

Because books.
The incinerator scene was terrifying, even for me. Sara didn't seem too scared, but she generally trusts that everything is going to work out okay, so. It's still one I can see kids calling out years from now, the way we were calling out movie traumas a week ago or whenever.
I didn't cry until the very end, which surprised me. Of course, it was right when I was thinking, "Hah, I beat them! Pixar didn't get to me!" And then the waterworks started, as soon as Andy started introducing the toys to Bonnie . I was a goner after that.

Exactly. I know how to do it, the iPhone makes it not worth it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On my phone, I just type ii (which comes out Ii) and then delete the first one. But it's way less annoying than fishing out the HTML. I just wish I had copy and paste, or spoiler highlighting, dammit.

Oh, wacky! No, it's Tom, but I'm guessing Liza is his sister. I'll ask and see if I can weird him out.

Ahh, thanks for the explanation.

No, it's Tom
Does he work for the Smithsonian?
