Cars
In my morning read-through of Blogs, news sources, and satyr, I came across this.
That’s right! The good ole Wall Street Journal has put it’s venerated pencil to paper to add a Pixar-animated, southern, rusted out pickup, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, to the lexicon of political leaders, CEOs, and other various and sundry influential individuals to be represented by it’s instantly recognizable etch-a-sketch style renderings. I guess it’s a slow news day when the weekend earnings of Disney-Pixar’s Cars makes the 4th line in “What’s News” for the Journal’s weekend edition.
I’ve not seen the movie as of yet, but I very much want to. While Disney has not been up to snuff lately, Pixar has unquestionably set the bar for computer animation. From their debut with Toy Story the company has failed to produce a bad film. As WSJ points out “The six prior Disney-Pixar films all opened at No. 1.” That, ladies and gentlemen, is impressive. It is my sincerest hope (and one that I imagine is pure wishful thinking) that the sellout to Disney will have a positive effect on Disney, rather than a negative effect on the quality coming out of what is now Disney’s Pixar group.

"Once you start running into Jay Leno as 'Jay Limo' and Bob Costas as
'Bob Cutlass,' the whole thing starts to feel almost as annoying as a
DreamWorks movie. I guess it had to happen sooner or later."
Sorry to say it, dude, but I saw it and it's not too hot. Over long, Owen Wilson is annoying and cars with tongues are disturbing in many ways. Went with a group of tweleve dreamworks artists and only two liked it at all and even they agreed it's hands down the worst thing pixar has done. The landscapes are pretty nice and I laughed a little, but mostly at the film's attempts to be funny and not that the joke actually landed.

That poetic justice is just too sweet.
