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.

	I seem to recall a similar thing happening with The Dark Knight - the forums went nuts over any negative reviews. Still, TS3 sounds pretty good, and I'll have to go see it when it's out here in Australialand. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The actual RT general discussion forums are doing pretty well. Nearly everyone called it that Armond White was going to come in negative. The real surprise was that he had company. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I feel like the only person on the planet who honestly did not enjoy that movie. I was so damn bored. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dark Knight? I didn't enjoy it either. On the whole, Nolan's Batman is pretty damn do not want to me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Really? I mean, I do think it would have been rather boring if it hadn't been for the extremely strong performances from most of the cast, but the performances were strong, and I do like Nolan's take on Batman as dark and psychotic but not quite Frank Miller amoral. (Reply to this)(Parent)
