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 thought Big Baby was creepier, but probably because I kept thinking of "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders" and was torn between CREEPY AUGH! and omglol. The second half of the film is about this kid who gets a monkey like that for his birthday, and every time it claps its cymbals something dies. One of my friends actually got me a monkey like that from a garage sale or something after we watched that movie, and they are fucking creepy in real life too.

	I found Big Baby too sympathetic to be creepy. Although he does get that one moment (you know the one). In fact, the monkey gets a similar moment, and it's just as scary. D: (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah as for me, I wasn't laughing. I was startled each time and wished they wouldn't go back to him! (Reply to this)(Parent)
