  1. I just saw Cars 2. Here's my review. This was Pixar's most unnecessary sequel yet. The story has nothing to do with the first one, the characters aren't the same, and the story is focused on Mater for some reason. My review kind of goes around the mind boggling questions such as: Why do cars eat icecream? Why do cars have to sleep or go to the bathroom? How did Mater write a goodbye note on paper? Why do cars have teeth and tongues? Who's building all these cars? How can a car be agile? Who is driving these cars? Nah, I'll stick to the basics... It was nice to see Lightning McQueen again, but after about 30 minutes into the film, he goes back into jerk-mode again, but not at all as bad as in the first movie. Of course, Lightning changes back to "nice car" mode in the end (bipolar jerk ). Surprisingly, Mater didn't get on my nerves as much as I thought he would (him being the main character and all). Although there were a few "let's feel bad for the dumb redneck tow-truck" moments that seemed a bit passive. Some of the voice acting was a bit lackluster on Owen Wilson's part. It was like he rushed through his lines and said they were "perfect" after the first take. Another voice that bothered me was Fillmore's. They didn't even try to match up his voice to the original, having him sound like Danny DeVito in his last spill of dialog. The story was a huge let-down. Usually Pixar films tend to give an "ultimate message", but there is no message here. Just guns blazing and cars exploding... Yes, folks, quite a few cars DIED in this film, and I felt that was a bit too much for the kids. The jokes were pretty bad... nothing memorable... all except the hideous Chevron car encounter when Mater travels through the slummy markets of Paris... (I don't know if that encounter was supposed to be funny, but personally, it freaked me out). Over all, the story felt like an hour and a half long Mater's Tall Tales episode... I was sort of waiting for the movie to end with all of the Radiator Springs locals gathered around Mater, and Mater saying something like: "Yep, and that's what happened"... which this moment actually DID happen towards the end, only this Mater Tall Tale actually happened... yeeeaaah... The movie isn't terrible, but it feels like a huge step backwards for Pixar. You'll sit through it, but it's like "Meh, Pixar has done better"... And that disappoints me. After Toy Story 3, I expected Pixar to do something phenomenal... or at least something fresh, new, and original. I'm all for sequels, but this was by far the worst Pixar sequel, mostly because it's unnecessary. There just wasn't a story that needed to be told. Please, do NOT totally avoid this movie. It's definitely worth a rent. I was wondering why I got a bit nauseous when I saw that spiffy Disney logo on the screen... Apparently, Disney has Pixar by the balls. Clearly, the main point of this movie was to sell merchandise. That's right, Disney, make billions off of those bed sets and beach towels and toys! After all, that's the only thing that matters when making an animated film, right? Even if it means putting a slight damper on the Pixar name. Who cares?
  2. My cousin bought some rigged bootlegs last night. I was really looking forward to watching Transformers 3.
  3. I have a booga booga baby!
  4. I need help. The mehanic said I damaged my fuel guages, or something (those cap thingies under the gas tank) and I need to replace them. Is this a job I can do myself? BTW I have a 2001 Honda civic LX
  5. I kissed a girl and I liked it.
  6. We're havin' boigers and frwies!
  7. I was laying down since I wasn't feeling too well this morning, and my sister's husband farted in my face. I have been pissed off all day.
  8. I hate it how Arizona doesn't have ANY theme parks... Sure we have Castles and Coasters, but I mean theme parks that matter.
  9. I'm watching Dora The Explorer... Don't ask me why.
  10. CARS 2? Why did they make CARS 2!!?!?!!?
  11. I can't wait for the fair this year! It's gonna have tons of haunted houses, and I'm gonna go through them ALL! Come oooooooon, October! Can't wait!!!
  12. Say hello to my FELLAS! *boink* Heeeey! Hey! Whoa, man! Not cool! Not cool!
  13. ^ Same here... for the moment... Anyway, I have applied for job at Pixar a few times. Sadly, no feedback. I have six film ideas for them; one out of those six is a sequel (A Bug's Life 2). The other five are fresh and original. One is a fairy tale type of movie, two of my other film ideas take place in our time, another film idea takes place in Spain, and the one I've been recently brainstorming on takes place in the future (like Wall-E). I know, I know. "A Bug's Life 2"? Really? Well, I say YES if there's a good story behind it; and I have a very good story. In fact, I already sent thestory in to Pixar, but they still haven't replied... However, I wouldn't be surprised if the film actually come to be in real life... That might be a law suit... I already lost one of my ideas that I submitted to Dreamworks. Look up a movie titled "Turbo". That was MY idea that I told them about (different title of course), but they rejected it, and I just found out it'll come out in 2014.
  14. As they said on Cartoon Networks [Adult Swim] Wall-E = Amazing Up = Amazing Toy Story 1 = Amazing Toy Story 2 = Amazing Toy Story 3 = Amazing Cars 2 = WTF I still haven't seen the movie, but that made me LOL
  15. Another problem I have is that whenever I place a food stall in the game, it takes 30 seconds for the stall to be placed. Then if I click on a stall or even a scenery item (trees or walls) that has been placed, it also takes 30 seconds for the options bubble to appear. Is there any way to stop this from happening? My game never did this before.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 3.) Crash Mind Over Mutant (DS version) 2.) Crash Boom Bang #1......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEpFkClI8F0
  18. Life in California sucked for me. Too expensive and too much drama. So, I moved to Phoenix, AZ. Life is less expensive, but it's hotter than satan's ballsack. It's 12:00am, 101 degrees, and I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church.
  19. Using a gas station restroom. What's worse than Cars 2?
  20. Okay, I used Googles Tranlator and there' nothing about how to use CTR Creator. It just tells about the versions history and legalities and all that other crap. And their "To Do list" is nothing but describing what CTR Creator allows you to do... heeeeelllp.
  21. Umm... why is the readme written in German?
  22. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks like I'm going to skip out on Cars 2. It's a merchandising gimmick. I guess I'll just redbox it when it's on dvd... I will post a review here if I do end up seeing it... (someone would have to pay for my ticket, because I'm not spending money to see this in theaters). In other news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_uG4mi17Ao This looks very interesting. RE: TS4... not a good idea if Pixar is seriously considering... TS3 was enough. Perfect ending. Period.
