some people just want to hate something just to hate it.
lololol Exactly!! Its like "Oh hai, I'm on the internet, so immediately my opinion is golden and I must disagree with the majority of the population, just so I sound cool like a five star movie critic meh meh" hahaha oh god now im ranting lol
@Bane The ending to Toy Story 3 is hilarious because an 18 year old is sad about getting rid of toys he hadn't played with for years. The problem with that movie is that it is built on nostalgia.

So Crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

How can that be hilarious? And what's wrong with nostalgia? It doesn't matter if he hadn't played with his toys for years. The toys were part of his life and childhood.
Why do you let what people do affect your opinion about a movie?
I don't. It simply raises expectations. If someone tells me something is the greatest thing of all time, I go in with that expectation -- especially if the volume of praise is lofty, in which, in this case it was. Same thing for Cabin in the Woods. "Best horror movie in 10 years! Redefines and reconstructs the genre! Incredibly clever and intelligent!" So I went in with that, and came out with pure mediocrity.
Cabin in the Woods was not only a massive pile of shit but it also completely insulted me as a horror movie fan. It's not a movie for horror movie fans, it's a movie for people who hate horror movies. So I found those claims utterly ridiculous, just as I found many claims about Toy Story 3 a bit over the top, especially when some of my GROWN MEN friends were apparently crying like bitches at an only moderately-moving ending.
Dont... Dont do that Bane or then youll always come out like that. When ppl tell me stuff like this im like "yeah... right" and then most of the time I was right because I know alot of ppl are filled with BS. So just dont always believe it because ppl overexagerate including me at times lol.
But the thing about expectations and stuff is your fault, not the movie's. It's your responsibility to control it and go watch a movie with a fresh mind.

You shouldn't let what people say affect your expectations as well then.
It only happens to an extent. When I actually start watching something, I tend to get absorbed into it and go about with my own perceptions from that point on.
When it's over, either I agree with people or disagree. I do think that too much praise can have an adverse affect, but I'm still very much my own thinking individual. If I weren't, I would probably just agree with everyone about everything.
Rick I'm 17, Andy was 17 or 18, I should feel directly connected to that. Instead I thought it was the most unbelievable thing I've seen in a while. So much forced emotion that was just poopy.

It's hilarious because he's now an adult and he's sad about toys he didn't touch for likely five years. It's stupid. My nostalgia comment is not about Andy, but critics and fans of the series. The movie wouldn't have worked without nostalgia for TS1 and TS2. It's classic Pixar: emotional manipulation under the guise of a decent story.

Lol the thing about Toy Story, is that the end was supposed to reflect the end of childhood in a sense. Yeah sure some people were emotional and some weren't. It depends on how you grew up, if the first Toy Story was prominent in your life and how much you were enthralled in the series. That's why some are emotional.
And that's why it isn't great to me, loll. The movie completely relies on that, so many won't really care and will be emotional and it's fine, but for people like me where it never was a big deal, the ending is a joke
I like some of Pixar's work. I adore Monster's Inc. and the first Toy Story.

I loved Up and Pixar in general. They teach me things about life that even Terrence Malick forgot to teach me during Tree of Life. That one scene where the old lady dies reminded me that we all die and that one day I'm going to get old and die too.
Also: hold onto all your G.I. Joe action figures so that one day someone can film you giving them away to a little boy which will make bank at the box office and lead to a 108% RT rating.
CinemaCon 2012: Pixar's 'Brave' to Test Dolby's New Atmos Format
LAS VEGAS -- Disney/Pixar’s Brave will be the first film to test Dolby's new Atmos format, which was developed to create sound that Dolby says is more "natural and lifelike."
Dolby aims to have the new sound system, which it debuted this week at CinemaCon, installed in 10-15 theaters worldwide for the test, for which Pixar will prepare a special mix of the film.
Seven-time Oscar winner Gary Rydstrom is serving as sound designer and re-recording mixer on the project. At CinemaCon, sound designer and supervising sound editor Erik Aadahl, who was nominated for an Oscar for his work on Transformers: Dark of the Moon, said of the new format: “This is, I think, the biggest breakthrough in sound that has happened in my career.”
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Aadahl, who did sound design using Atmos on a demonstration trailer that played at CinemaCon, likened the new Dolby format to having a new instrument to play.
“We’ve barely scratched the surface of what we can do with this technology,” he said. “What I could have done on the Transformers movie with this! … And it doesn’t have to be an action movie. It could be lush atmosphere.” Atmos is capable of transmitting up to 128 simultaneous and lossless audio channels, and renders from 5.1 up to 64 discrete speaker feeds, according to Dolby. Speakers would be positioned around the theater and even overhead to create the immersive experience.
For the sound team, Aadahl noted that it might require some changes. He explained that the mix might add a “slight” amount of time to the schedule thought he expects it would be offset by a simpler process for creating deliverables as the sound team would only need to complete an Atmos mix.
Personally I think sound is a far greater, more important tool than higher fps, 3D, and all that bullshit. I would much rather have an incredible sound system than a powerhouse display set. I think sound can immerse you far more than 3D or anything else can.
i dont give a fuck if bane disikes toy story 3, but i do give a fuck when someone cant accept his or someone elses opinion. Same with alot of topics these days..why cant there just be some good convesation like there used to be. No wonder members have left...seriously.
Nor should you, but that's just the thing -- I do like Toy Story 3. Sometimes people see complaints and just assume that someone dislikes the entire shebang. There's a lot to like about that movie, and UP as well. I think overall they're very good movies. I just tend to think that people put them and at least parts of them up on this pedestal and that's where I disagree.
Or maybe because we couldn't buy the forced emotion? Honestly, that's kind of annoying to say, especially since I've actually teared up a bit from movies, mainly DH2 and How to Train Your Dragon, so saying that I have no heart is annoying. It's really annoying, because just that I didn't see emotion in one thing doesn't mean I have no heart.
Like I'm so sorry I don't see this emotion, I guess I'm heartless. I hate Transformers, must mean I hate action visuals and how to have fun. Let's all like what we like and not say things about that to others because it bothers me.
I've never felt that Pixar has forced any emotion on me. And to be honest, I think it would be very hard to make 10 of the best animated films of all time to universal acclaim and commercial success without coming off as the slightest bit pretentious.

Anywho, I'm looking forward to this film.
I'm heavily looking forward to it as well because it's an original. It's sequels that have annoyed me with Pixar, Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 mainly. I feel like they're getting back to what they do best with this after the disastrous Cars 2 which was forced onto Pixar by Disney because Disney wanted the cash flow.
I don't dislike any Pixar (except maybe Cars 2). Just to set the record straight before anyone jumps the gun and says I need some heart again. They're all well made films, some of them absolutely skull fuck me with emotion and greatness. I just don't like Toy Story 3's ending peeps, get over it.

Members also leave when people enter threads and start talking about how terrible Pixar movies are. This has definitely not just been about Toy Story 3. Go back and you'll see a lot of "That scene in x was so shit", "Lol, Pixar emotional? All the scenes are terrible/funny/a joke!".
It will be released on June 19. Besides Doyle's score, it will include songs from Julie Fowlis and Mumford And Sons who made a collaboration with Fowlis.

This thread suddenly turned into a "Let's talk how shit Pixar is! All their movies are bad! HWrhwrhqwh".

I'm sorry I dislike something you like, I'll just change my opinion so it matches the majority, maybe then you'll all be satisfied.
