Now there's an original joke.

The Truman Show is already one of my favorite films as it is, but since we're talking about new visions, I do think a darker, less accessible take on the same material could be really interesting—not as a replacement but as a complement.

I think it is serious and thoughtful. Just not in any way we're used to.

Look, you can say that this is an uncalled-for sequel, sure. You can reasonably complain that Pixar has been doing too many of those, and you can even argue that Finding Nemo is not sufficiently profound to rank among Pixar's greatest achievements. Hell, complain about the teaser if you want; it was a little…
