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 don't follow the Toy Story franchise, not really getting the overwhelming universal appeal, but all I can say is that anybody who thought Transformers 2 was a good movie has got no leg to stand on in the world of movie criticism. (Reply to this)(Thread)

If by any chance this is because the trailers for the movies don't make them all that interesting, I recommend you watch the films anyway. I remember thinking "This is gonna be so stupid," when I saw the first preview for the first movie. In fact, I'd go so far as to say most of Pixar's previews are rather unimpressive, especially compared to the final products themselves.

	Well, that and being guilty of not actually watching the movie you're supposed to review. I thought that was a bare minimum to be a critic. (Reply to this)(Parent)
