I would not deny that marketing toys for girls and boys is important.

So… here's the deal.

toy story 3 is meh?

Clearly writing science fiction is not the qualifying factor for having an opinion on what does and does not qualify as science fiction.

The shorts are fun. Cars 2 is ok.

And weirdly, the Cars shorts were actually kinda fun and well done.

Oh please, Ms. Atwood, tell us more about these marvelous theories of genre-dynamics you've developed! Please, please pretty please?

I think Syndrome makes sense as both:
A - A poetic exaggeration of Bob's worse impulses as a hero.
B - An anti-'corporate visionary' jibe.

Contempt in place of what?

It's worth noting that the term used in the movie is specials. Given the more general connotations of the term, I'm fairly certain 'superiority qua superiority' is not what is being invoked.

I… suppose you can read Dash running for second place as noblesse oblige?

Or are a decent artist? Or good beauracrat, even? Or just want to be the kid in the neighborhood who doesn't miss cool things?

Yup, the Dash storyline where he's racing at the end as a means to be social rather than to enact petty revenge on his teacher seemed to be entirely about distancing yourself from the schemes of others.

Toy Story 3 is certainly in the running for finest sequel of all time. Godfather II is probably still beating it, but I'm surprised TS3 is as close as it is.

That could have been an overreach of the policy.

Maybe not enough people realized he had been in the military?

eh, Bush the lesser had two degrees and at least moderate fluency in another language. Mind you, there's a world of scandal in its own right on those points.

I think Diane deserves a lot of praise as a character as well.

Also, maybe, just maybe…

It's sort of hard to imagine clients shadier than Bishop or Sweeney.
