Hiya...

21 Apr 2008
...I’m not normally a big time movie watcher. And I usually just stick with movies I can watch on my computer. Hehehe. But I did get to watch Ratatouille and I, quite personally, loved it with all my heart. I also like Toy Story - Buzz Lightyear and Rex was awesome. My favorite character in Ratatouille is, of course, Rémy.

Abit more about me will be underneath a cut...

Will Wall*E Be Butchered?

7 Feb 2008
We all know that Pixar's movies have gone through production issues and huge rewrites. These generally contributed to making better films (I never wish to have the misfortune of seeing the original DTV version of Toy Story 2). However, what if one of these big rewrites ends up creating a worse film?

This Jim Hill article is getting me a bit nervous about Wall*E:

Wall-E

6 Jan 2008
(The comm's last post was in November)

There is a new trailer for Pixar's next upcoming film, Wall-E. Personally, I'm so excited about this film.

Andrew Stanton is directing. I'm already half-in-love with the character design. It's like No.5 (from Short Circuit) meets ET. Or something like that. :)

Toy Story 3

18 Nov 2007
It is possible that this will be the last good Pixar film.  So far they've done well, but they are bound to flop.  Wall-E will have no traditional dialogue, making it little better than a robotic, futuristic version of Tom and Jerry, minus the chase and add in a sprinklet of love.

Up does not sound promising at all.  A hyperactive septuagenarian who lives in a noisome ... continues

Wall-E Trailer Part Deux

Man... Disney's gunna roll this pig out frame by frame aren't they?. Looks pretty cool, and Pixar cute. I love the French connection. Must have come from the life long friendship they forged during the R&D phase of Ratatooli. "We give you lessons in the finer forms of French cuisine, ...
