01.07.12 | TinTin takes its ques from Indiana Jones...which in turn, took its ques from the original TinTin cartoons. No lie.
But I seriously cannot fathom, regardless of your opinion on TinTin or Pixar as a company, how you could call 'Up' cold or soulless. Not saying your opinion is invalid, I just seriously cannot comprehend that position. |

01.07.12 | After 'Up'? Not at all...in fact, I felt the exact opposite. And I can state exactly why, but I
guarantee it'll be a TL;DR comment. Also, I have a very small suspicion that you may be holding troll

01.07.12 | The beginning montage in "Up" is one of the more masterful cinematic moments ever shown on the silver screen. Never have I seen so many people crying in the first minutes of a movie. |
theacademy
01.07.12 | lol then u prob havent seen tintin, brever |
jdennis31
01.07.12 | man. the first 5 minutes of "Up" had me almost bawlin. last time i wanted to cry like that was when i watched "Fluke" in the 5th grade. and need to see this movie, glad to know the 3d is good. anyone see hugo? |

01.07.12 | i haven't seen it, although i read a few positive reviews. Three of my friends saw it, one said it was ok, two of them hated it. I'm not gonna pay for the 3D or see it in theaters (two tickets tonight ran me 34 fucking dollars!)... |

01.07.12 | my last comment was @jdennis |

01.07.12 | yah that's ridiculous. spent 41 bucks to see mi:4 with my lady friend and a bucket of popcorn. cool movie but definitely not worth the 41 bucks. the bj afterwards maybe |

aok
01.07.12 | word |
Masochist
01.07.12 | Saw the Muppets. Best movie of the year so far. And yeah, paid for that shit...thrice ;-). First showing was a matinee, second time was in the evening, but on Tuesday (all day matinee prices). Fuck $41 dollars, NO damn movie in the past few good years short of the last Harry Potter movie would be worth $41 dollars, unless it was at an IMAX.
Also, about 'Up'...I enjoy movies that are out-of-the-ordinary, risky affairs. In animation, the lead is usually a kid, or an adult that looks/acts like a kid, and there's a romance in it, and the story builds rather naturally. In 'Up', there's an old-ass man who acts like an old-ass man, there's that heart-rending montage in the BEGINNING of the movie (a full two minutes without dialogue!), and there's a plot so fantastical that even I can't really fully suspend my disbelief. Still, the story is told masterfully, there's depth (that kid isn't just a hyperactive kid for the hell of being a hyperactive kid, he's eager to help Carl for a specific reason, and the motive behind that reason is one of the more poignant themes of the film). It's also the straight funniest Pixar movie there is.
I don't know, man. I realize it's not everyone cup of tea. I realize that people might not like it. But when I watch that film, I feel that there was a countless amount of effort and "self" put into it, so when you describe it as cold and soulless, I simply can't/don't/refuse to see it. |

Before 2011, I'd've wholeheartedly agreed with you. But then...'Cars 2' (which fits EXACTLY with the adjectives that academy put in his description). |

let's not be negative and go on a movie date to see muppets instead =) |

01.07.12 | "cold, soulless, manipulative shit like...Up"
oh shit you did not just fucking say that |
Ignimbrite
01.07.12 | really, Pixar's only truly bad movie was Cars 2, and they were basically forced into that as a marketing ploy by Disney. The first Cars was substandard, but not bad. Most of the others were arguably masterpieces. |
Vesper
01.07.12 | Andy, we can go see Muppets, but acad and I are going to be muttering about how we didn't like Up during the previews. ;] |

01.08.12 | "most Pixar movies have sucked since like Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc."
What? WallE, Up, Toy Story 3. If you didn't get a little chocked up at the end of Toy Story 3 then you have no soul |
Ignimbrite
01.08.12 | ^^^ even though he spelled choked wrong |
Vesper
01.08.12 | Yeah, I haz no soul (haven't seen TS3, though).
Up might have been better for me if people didn't go on and on about it - and most people seemed to only really have anything to say about the first five minutes anyway and how sad it was.
And those five minutes were not sad at all when I finally got around to watching it - if anything, they seemed to live a mostly very happy, long life together in some nice neighborhood. There was simply nothing in that segment that resonated with me in any touching manner. |

01.08.12 | "Cars 2?" The Larry The Cable Guy flick? Get out of here. "Up " is unreal.
