Just saw it, and while I didn't cry, I will say that the scene Tasha mentions was rather intense, and there's another scene towards the very end that I found very moving. Up was more heartbreaking, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people cry during this one.

Annie Potts? (SPOILERS)
Anyone know exactly what happened to Annie Potts with this film? I know they mention Bo Peep's absence, but it seemed like a weird omission (especially with much less necessary cameos like Sid - played by the original actor, no less - and the Pizza Planet truck being present), and I had read

Replying to Idiotking's first post:

I had this experience when I saw Up (for the second time, actually) and happened to be seeing it in 3D with some friends. When that goddamn montage came on towards the beginning of the film, I was pretty glad I had the 3D glasses to make my tears less obvious.

Yeah, I haven't played Lost Planet 1 since I didn't hear great things about the PS3 version (whereas the 360 version was at least reviewed well). As for 2, it hasn't reviewed that well on either platform, although Gamerankings suggests that it's a bit better than this review indicates. Still, there are some great

Oh, also, regarding Zelda, Ocarina is definitely the best, but Wind Waker is dangerously underrated. I'd put it at #2 on my list for sure.

Mario Galaxy (and every Mario sequel) is a "remake" of previous Marios insofar as they are sequels and build off the ideas of previous Marios. That much is obvious.

In fairness…
…while this game is probably shit (or at least very uninspired as the review suggests), isn't a bit novel at this point for it to be a THIRD-person shooter as opposed to yet another FPS? Or am I the only one that finds the sheer number of FPSes in the last decade to be incredibly obnoxious?

Also, regarding over-the-top moments: you're right, the old ones had a lot. Temple of Doom probably had more than Crystal Skull even. But it's in the execution, I think. Crusade had some overly cheesy moments, but a lot of the humor was genuinely funny and charming, and played into the relationship between Indy and

As much as I disliked the aliens, the CGI gophers, the crotch shots, the nuked fringe opening….I think "Crystal Skull" had more serious problems.

Temple of Doom has some really great scenes, but on a whole it's pretty bad. Kate Capshaw's character really does ruin it; she's probably worse than Jar-Jar Binks in that respect, honestly (I actually liked Short Round, though). She's just too irritating and too much of the movie is basically Indy acting cooly about

"Weird thing about Hook is that it was probably John Williams' finest score for a Spielberg movie. That and "E.T." "

Stupid babies…
need the most attention!

Yeah….I think I'm with TLNOE on this one (and like Subway Justice, I'm not exactly a member of the PC police either)….

What the hell? Why is it so hard to understand that some people just don't like kids that much? Some people don't like cats or dogs (which I love dearly)…it doesn't mean that I assume they are somehow "damaged" or bad people.

Hell, there was even an Onion on the subject:

Q. What's funnier than ten dead babies in one trash can?

I'm not too worried about Futurama. The first two "movies" were brilliant, and while the latter two had their flaws, I still enjoyed them. Taken as 16 individual episodes (which is basically what they are), I don't think the hit-miss ratio is really any different from the previous seasons. Plus, as has been stated,

Fuck. Obviously I meant "were the two most awkwardly…" and not "too."

Ballin and Shinin were the too most awkwardly unfunny episodes of the series I can think of (and they aired a week apart from each other, IIRC). Ballin especially was so disappointing, both because the premise was otherwise good, and also because the presentation of the autistic kid at the end was so patently
