fandom_wank's thoughts on yaoi, movie wank, pixar, reviews, someone is wrong on the internet!, stop sharing your thoughts, writers are often pompous douches

Wank machine keeps on rollin'
1. Pixar makes incredible, mind-blowing third movie in Toy Story series.
2. Rotten Tomatoes logs over 130 reviews - all positive.
3. Toy Story 3 gets it's first (so far, only) bad reviews.
4. Internet explodes. (Also here.)

The wank seems to be focused on Armond White's review, as he is known for seemingly giving any review that goes against the general consenus. (He inexplicably seems in favour of Transformers 2, for instance.) He also doesn't appear to have actually watched the movie (identifying Hamm as a villain.) His negative review was actually predicted by a number of commenters in this earlier article, asking readers to predict where Toy Story 3 would end up on the Tomatometer rating.

It's all very dramatic, with wank in every corner. But of course, the most important Toy Story-related argument is and always will always be: Buzz/Jessie or Woody/Jessie?*

*Anyone's who's seen the movie will know the right answer to this.

Ahahaha, I was just reading this on Rotten Tomatoes.

While Toy Story 3’s various hazards and cliffhangers evidence more creativity than typical Pixar product

...What? What? Since when is Pixar the more uncreative of the studios? I mean, did anyone else see that horrible, horrible "Alpha and Omega" trailer? Ugh.

it's just another reminder that many people (teens in particular) are unbearably stupid and don't know of something so basic. i just assume they know it, despite the fact that deep down i know they don't. maybe philosophy should be taught in schools all around the world so that people can learn what value judgements are and that true objectivity and fundamentalism is impossible.
it's not immature; it's just shorter.

If only we were all as enlightened as ~The Stunner~

	Yeah, if I have to watch ANOTHER animated movie about a garbage-processing robot from the future falling in love, or a rat becoming a French chef, or an old man and a Boy Scout flying to South American in a balloon-powered house and meeting a talking dog... Get creative, Pixar! (Reply to this)(Parent)
