Did Pixar finally strike out?

[orcus116]

How does that critic rating work? Is it an average rating or percentage of them who thought it was good?

No. All critic ratings are really just comprised of Roger Ebert spouting old man talk at a piece of paper, with spit flying out of his mouth frequently because his denchers are loose and because he's so disgruntled that negro men were probably given the right in making the film come into fruition.

Ironic, considering he was one of the few who absolutely loved the film.

Count me in the group that thinks Cars wasn't that bad, just not as substantive as most Pixar films. Wasn't planning on seeing the sequel in theaters anyway.

but not as good as the classics
like toy story

i thin kit's sad that pixar is going
so far down hill. :/

First, what's with the lame typing style again?

Also, wat? Claiming that they are going downhill when their last 3 films are arguably their best makes no sense.

I don't agree icy.  UP & TS3 were great.

Maybe Cars 2 sucked because Pixar was working on something good?

aweeeeeeeeeeeesome

[bosk1]

I'm one of the few who liked Cars 1. 

I thought it was great. 

But yeah, making a sequel seemed totally superfluous.

Well...but...FINE!  *pouts*

Pixar as a whole is starting to wane with me.

Seriously, do you actually like anything?

Not loving everything does not mean I don't like anything. I give praises to a ton of things, you just clearly don't pay enough attention. In fact most people around here seem to be known for the stuff they don't like and whenever they say something good about something people just nod and agree and forget about it. Aside from easy stuff like Chino liking Avatar and MetalJunkie liking Ghostbusters the most well known posters would be able to identify other posters on stuff they infamously don't like.

[Gadough]

I see Orcus say positive things about stuff every so often. But when he does, I do a double take and have to re-read the post to make sure I read it right.

Bosk, I've called Orcus out on it before and he made a good point. The expression of negative opinions (rather than positive ones) tends to create a greater depth of discussion, which is after all why forums exist to begin with. Admittedly, Orcus' constant negativity used to piss me off. But it doesn't anymore. Now I think of him as DTF's lovable negative nancy.
 

[orcus116]

I'm really not as negative as you guys like to play it off as but I guess it's human nature to assign extremes to certain people based on first impressions.

[bosk1]

You've been around long enough (as have I) that it goes WAY beyond a first impression.  But I find it telling that you seem to think the negative things about people are the most memorable, and that you, yourself, are incredibly negative the majority of the time you post.  I don't think that's a coincidence.  (and, yes, I definitely can associate more people on this forum with their likes than with their dislikes)  But anyway, the thread isn't about your negativity.  I was mostly just horsing around when I posted that, and not intending to get into an orcus psychoanalysis.

[orcus116]

Whatever you say, chief.

I don't think there is a pixar movie that I dislike. I don't think I've seen them all though.
