Thank you. I'm still appalled by the lack of love that movie gets. One of my favorite third acts in Pixar history.

Don't see Cars 2, but I thought Monsters University was wonderful and I'll defend it to the ends of the Earth. I'm copypasting myself here, but I thought it wouldn't be more than a silly "look, a college film for kids" romp; yet its absolutely unexpected last 20 minutes caught me completely off-guard and are…
I've always been fairly certain he needed to "prove" himself to film studios as a live-action director before his own original projects were funded, and a huge, cash-attracting film franchise was the best way to do so.
They've only released one movie since Brave and it was EXCELLENT and, to me, the only worthwile "prequel" ever made. Pixar is a film studio - they make good movies, they make bad movies, just like everyone else. Cars was in 2006, it was fucking infamous, and I didn't hear anyone claiming "PIXAR IS SHIT" back then.…
Let's boo-boo.
My personal favorite will always be Greg Daniels' "Time and Punishment" (which aired RIGHT AFTER! God, Mirkin's ToH episodes were sheer gold), but that one's a serious runner-up.
It has a new showrunner in Matt Berry, so it's probably getting renewed. I still won't watch it, and it feels like they're wasting him, but at least a talented person's behind it now? I don't know, man. I'm tired.
I still believe Pushing Daisies' cancellation was schemed by newssite headline redactors who just COULDN'T WAIT any longer to make a title pun.
I bring some (maybe false) hope: before The Big Bang Theory, co-creator Bob Kushell was responsible for some good things, like a Duckman script, producing some of the first seasons of Malcolm in the Middle, or single-handedly penning The Simpsons' "Bart The Fink" and its Treehouse of Horror short "The Shinning" (he…
Pixar's Monsters Inc. and Toy Story 2 both had three directors, and Pixar's pretty much entirely running the show at Disney Animation these days.
I'd slightly disagree with VoicOff on the grounds that, while obviously not every episode is needed, it DOES greatly benefit from continuity - but I pretty much want EVERYONE to get hooked on it, so sure, skip 'em, fair enough.
As she should. Hell, I only talk about Steven Universe now.
I didn't even recognize Delpy, and I'm a huge fan of her. Definitely a strange use.
There's one in each, I think. (Spoilers ahead or whatever?)
BONUS COMMENT! (I'll never shut up): I grow more and more fascinated with Whedon's passion for including Coyote-and-Roadrunner references in his Avengers films. Not only do I want to write a thesis on it now (does he see their iconic, changeless dynamic as a metaphor for superhero films as a whole? does he just find…
Shit, that's a LOT of comments in 24 hours, no one's ever gonna read this rant. But I already wrote most of it for TOS, so I'm gonna post it anyway.
That slayed me. They should really give ol' Riff-Raff more musical numbers. I still love this one with a passion.
That's one of my favorite songs as well. "UP WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT" will never stop making me laugh.
But… but that was clearly the best, funniest, most satisfying episode of the entire season, at least to me.
My in-depth review: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
