We're going nihilistic.

We did it with Disney if I remember as well. Plus, these haven't been getting a good amount of results lately, hopefully something like this will pick things up.

You really think that a couple people out of what, 15 so far really makes a consensus? You think that a random grouping of people in the "real world" might not contain something similiar?

I guess I could say "I thought it was impossible to actually consider seven of their nine feature length films uber-masterpieces. Only motherfucking Watashi."

You could poll a million people and even if one happened to dislike Toy Story, I would lose all hope in humanity.

[Watashi]

And calling nearly most, if not all, PIXAR films masterpieces isn't me going against the grain. That's the general consensus anyway.

I'd never have thought that Wats would kill any chance of a Pixar movie making the hall-of-fame.

Congrats!

:)

[MadMan]

Winston's post is hilarious. Also Wats' behavior doesn't surprise me.

Also I can't remember all of the shorts I've seen from Pixar, or whatever the hell they are called. If I ever feel like looking them up, I will. But I'm really lazy. So I'll just cover the actual feature films (Cars and Wall-E will be viewed. One day.)

Toy Story(1995)-9.5
A Bug's Life(1998)-8.0

Monster's Inc.(2001)-8.5
Finding Nemo(2003)-9.5

Funny enough the only film of theirs to receive a 10 is one of their shorts. Huh. I didn't realize that until now. Never really gave it much of a thought.

And yes, as odd as it may seem, Cars is one of my favorites. I think it's beautifully conceived and executed in every way plus the whole Route 66 thing connected with me in a very personal way. My number one favorite though is Monster's Inc.

Yeah, I think Cars is a bit overlooked. I love the town feeling of it all. More old-fashioned then anything. Its The Incredibles that I think is one of the more overrated. I've read Wats' sploogasms, and it doesn't convince.

[Spinal]

The biggest problem with Cars is that it is not funny. Not funny at all. And I think it's trying to be. For that reason, it stands out like a sore thumb against the other Pixar features.

[Winston*]

I'll see a Cars sequel if they explain how cars come into being in a world solely populated by cars.

Monsters Inc as a 6.5? You've got some 'splaining to do. By far and away, without a doubt, not even a question, their best.

[Bosco B Thug]

You've seen Toy Story 2 but not Toy Story?
I haven't seen it since it was in theaters and all I remember was thinking that the movie got really heavy and depressing towards the end and that the deformed toys and the evil kid really disturbed me.

[Bosco B Thug]

Monsters Inc as a 6.5? You've got some 'splaining to do. By far and away, without a doubt, not even a question, their best.
I don't know, it's been a while since I've seen it, but in recollection I think of it as really plot-driven and gag-driven and it lags during, like, the arctic sequence, and other than its clever story about irresponsible business practices, I'm not really sure what to get from Sully and Bo's relationship, which is clearly the emotional center of the film.

[Spinal]

I really do not enjoy Billy Crystal as a voice-over artist.

[Winston*]

Ratzenburger roles ranked

1. The Abominable Snowman
2. PT Flea
3. Hamm
4. Fish School
5. Underminer
6. Mack (Has funniest scene in movie)
7. Mustafa (Kind of a non-entity)

[MadMan]

I really do not enjoy Billy Crystal as a voice-over artist.I thought Crystal was quite funny in Monster's Inc.. And I'm one of the handful of folks who thinks that Finding Nemo is their best (that could change after I watch Wall-E though. Or not).

[NickGlass]

I'm leaving out the shorts, just because the memory isn't so sharp. I do remember, however, that Geri's Game is the best and Boundin' is the worst.

Toy Story: 7.5
A Bug's Life: 8.5
Toy Story 2: 8.5
Monsters Inc: 9.5
Finding Nemo: 9.0
The Incredibles: 7.0
Cars: 2.0
Ratatouille: 8.0
Wall-E: 7.5

Any praise given to Cars remains to baffle me. It's completely unimaginative, unamusing, and--above all--insanely preachy. Its share of puns aren't even moderately clever. This is not a Pixar film.

[Spinal]

Boundin' is the worst.

I know. You did it because Winston* posted low scores as a joke.

So your first post is wrong then.

[Winston*]

I think we can all agree that within this thread of ratings a grave injustice has been served me.

[Raiders]

Yup, equally as lame as negative repping and berating people for not loving every Pixar film.

I think I saw Watashi jumping off a bridge earlier today.

[Derek]

So your first post is wrong then.

No, my first post is my list of ratings. Those are correct.

And the "negative repping" and "berating people for not loving every Pixar film" were separate statements. Anyway, maybe you weren't berating, so I can change it to whining if you'd like. My point is that your fanboyishness makes me want to dislike Pixar films, even though I usually don't. Is that honestly the effect you want to have on people? Maybe it's only me as I tend to think fanboys are among the most annoying things related to movies.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Wait, Wats seriously neg-repped you for that joke?

[Derek]

Wait, Wats seriously neg-repped you for that joke?

From the way Wats and Winston* were talking, it sounds like it actually happened.

Either way, I've edited my positive scores back in.

[Russ]

I think some posters have given offset-rep to negate Wat's neg-rep. I just need to find out who they are so I can validate-rep their offset-rep.

I'm going to lie down now.

I'm not a fanboy. If I was a fanboy, there would be a 10 next to Cars. I just happen to love most of their movies and praise their directors for finally injecting some creative edge into animation that has been dull for over a decade. If that makes me a fanboy, then I hope you continue to hate good films more and more because of some stranger on the internet who happens to enjoy his strong enthusiasm for the medium.

[Watashi]

And I neg-repped Winston not because of his joke, but because he was being cutesy and only trying to stir a reaction out of me.

To me, a fanboy is somehow who cannot imagine, let alone accept a differing opinion about a certain film. Perhaps you're not this way about every Pixar film, but your posts in this thread suggest you are this way about many of them. And as I said, fanboy's never effect my enjoyment or appreciation of films, but they do make me not want to discuss them.

Anyway, I already edited my positive scores back in and repped you for the Scar pick, so let's move on.

[Ezee E]

I don't care for Boxcar Bertha or New York, New York but I'm defintiely a Scorsese fanboy.

Wats is the Pixar fanboy.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Neg repping on the other hand... I repped Winston those points back.

Didn't you get negative repped by Nick for something? Where was the hostility thrown at him for that?

[Watashi]

Plus I don't automatically place a negative reaction when someone is a fanboy. Same goes for when someone is labeled a cinephile. They're just two different types of film fans and both comes with their pros and cons when discussing film.

Cinephile: "a devoted moviegoer, esp. one knowledgeable about the cinema."

There is no negative connotation to the word and most cinephiles I've come across love to discuss movies and are open to differing opinions. Most fanboys I've come across love to discuss the movies they love only with people who agree with them and close themselves off to anyone else.

[NickGlass]

I'm not a fanboy. If I was a fanboy, there would be a 10 next to Cars.

A 6.5 for Cars qualifies as "fanboyism" to me.

[balmakboor]

A 6.5 for Cars qualifies as "fanboyism" to me.

Then I must be an uber-fanboy. I can deal with that.

[NickGlass]

Then I must be an uber-fanboy. I can deal with that.

No, no. It is one of your favorite Pixar films. That doesn't make you a fanboy; it makes you certifiable.

Hey, I created an entire thread just for you and I didn't get any rep for that!

[MadMan]

Hey I liked Boundin', at least well enough to give it a 7.0. I just didn't want to go through and try to rate all of the shorts. I'm lazy man. I don't like work :P

PS: The shorts with the lamp and the one with the snowglobe are also pretty good as well.

Besides, what are you gonna do with my measly 1 rep point? What's up with that? When do I, like, go to 2?

I shall award you rep at the proper time, young padwan.

[Watashi]

It's not the power behind the reputation, but the reputation behind the power.

[Ezee E]

Didn't you get negative repped by Nick for something? Where was the hostility thrown at him for that?
I made a crack that could have offended someone, and it did. However, I was also repped later.

[NickGlass]

I made a crack that could have offended someone, and it did. However, I was also repped later.

I didn't negative rep you because I found it particularly insulting; I thought it was just downright obvious and stupid.

[Winston*]

The only justified negative rep given on this site was when I neg-repped all those people a while back for making boner puns IMO. No compensation rep was given in that situation, because the site knew that every last one of them deserved what they got.

[megladon8]

I actually thought that we had done away with the rep system, because I haven't received any rep in almost a month.

Good to know it's still around.

I shed no tears, that's for sure.

[MadMan]

Hey I liked Boundin', at least well enough to give it a 7.0. I just didn't want to go through and try to rate all of the shorts. I'm lazy man. I don't like work :P

PS: The shorts with the lamp and the one with the snowglobe are also pretty good as well.Spinal this doesn't save me from burning? Nuts.

[Dead & Messed Up]

A 6.5 for Cars qualifies as "fanboyism" to me.

It was uninspired, but I still got a kick out of the beautiful animation and - God, I can't believe this - Larry the Cable Guy's performance. He really kept the energy and fun going.

I know, I know.

Seriously.

I know.

[Spinal]

Spinal this doesn't save me from burning? Nuts.

A '7' on your scale is equivalent to a '3' on an average person's scale. Hellfire!

It was so worth it. We have to fight hard against the rigid censorship of boners.

These mediocre scores for A Bug's Life always make me sad.

I liked it.:)

[Teh Sausage]

I haven't seen it since its theatrical release. Perhaps I should watch it again...whenever it's on TV...

[MadMan]

These mediocre scores for A Bug's Life always make me sad.I gave it an 8. Are you going to hold me to a harsh unfair standard like Spinal? I sure hope not KF. I sure hope not. I cannot stand any more spears to the heart. The bleeding has to end sometime....


I should do this soon... but it feels like too much work.Cool, someone else shares my line of thinking. But they're actually practicing it. I'm not lazy enough it seems ;)


A '7' on your scale is equivalent to a '3' on an average person's scale. Hellfire!What? No it isn't! And that's only true if you are referring to many of the people who post here. Out there in the "regular," not so cinematic obsessed world, a 7 on my scale is, well, a 7 out of 10 on the 10 scale. Duh :P

You could poll a million people and even if one happened to dislike Toy Story, I would lose all hope in humanity.

Your hope has been lost.

The part about that being the worst Match Cut phenomenon ... that wasn't an exaggeration.

[MadMan]

The part about that being the worst Match Cut phenomenon ... that wasn't an exaggeration.No, I agree. My "Clearly" was in response to your other post that was a response to my post about your post about my rating for Boundin'. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I'm tired and too lazy to change it. It is what it is.

[Winston*]

Remember the days when the Match Cut forums' go-to overused running joke was semi-known character actor Danny Huston and not a heinous act of sexual violation?

Two of the top three features are Wall-E and The Incredibles. They have three things in common. They have the two strongest first acts in the Pixar line. They have the weakest, softest, most misguided second acts out of the Pixar features. They both recover from this problem to go out leaving a good taste in the mouth. I guess it helps to start and finish strong.

I really wish I had seen Cars so I could use it to say something derogatory against you.

:P

[balmakboor]

:P

I'm not trying to be derogatory toward anyone. I'm just being true to my reactions. I had a charmed smile on my face all the way through Cars -- which I imagine had a terribly soft middle for some. I found the midsections of Wall-E and The Incredibles terribly unimaginative and I yawned a lot. (Actually, I've tried watching The Incredibles three times, all with the same result.)

[thefourthwall]

Clearly, Presto is just riding Wall-E's coattails.

[Spinal]

It needs to be said again. Second act of Wall-E is the strongest part.

No. Just, no.

I was amazed at how close all the results were, many separated by .01.

Presto may be riding the coattails of Wall-E, but it is damn good. It's just the most fresh in our minds.

[thefourthwall]

Presto may be riding the coattails of Wall-E, but it is damn good. It's just the most fresh in our minds.

I'm confused, does this mean that you think it has merit on its own or not? Is it actually good, or is it just recent? I found it to be amusing, but it didn't have the depth or significance of Geri's Game, For the Birds, or even Boundin'.

[Spinal]

No. Just, no.

It needs to be said a third time. Second act of Wall-E is the strongest part.

[Raiders]

I physically cannot bring myself to type any more about WALL-E. I'll just have to accept some people watched a different film than I did.

[MadMan]

I negative repped him just to be safe.That hurts Winston. You cut me to the core man. I'm dying slowly inside.


I hope that's an implication to provoke.Nope. Its just my opinion, as stated. I have that right btw.

Worst. Cop-out. Ever.

Worst. Cop-out. Ever.

Seriously? Please re-read the WALL-E thread. I must have ten posts in there analyzing and discussing people's dissents, not to mention my posts on other sites as well. There reaches a point I feel I'm just repeating myself and since obviously I'm not going to convince someone I'm right (and I wouldn't want or expect to), I just can't do it anymore. Doesn't mean I'm not still frustrated by the reactions.

Oh, your frustration is not what I was addressing. I understand that and empathize. It's just the whole "we watched different movies" exit line. I think I'd prefer the classic Raiders "Fuck it, I give up" because it amounts to the same thing without the condescending tone.
