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've seen 3 pics in 3D recently: Up, Avatar, and HTTYD.

For Up, it was fine. For Avatar, turned out I saw it in a theatre having problems with its projection, so it sucked and was headachey. For HTTYD, it was... all right.

The problem for me is that I wear glasses, and with the exception of the glasses I got with Up, which I've never received again... those damned glasses aren't made for people already wearing glasses. It's a constant irritation and contributes to the headache factor. (I continue to kick myself for not keeping the Up glasses, but how was I to know? And they might not have worked with every film anyway.)

So I can't go to a 3D film without feeling distinctly like I'm a portion of the audience the people who make the films and the glasses just don't give a crap about, and it pisses me off.

	I have this same exact problem. It's why I avoid 3D movies. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I wear glasses as well and refuse to see any movie in 3D because I have never had a pair of 3D glasses that were not uncomfortable to wear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This, so very much this. As for the 'headache' factor... I came out of a looped 3D presentation on phytoplankton at a botanical gardens with a headache. That lasted less than five minutes and it was free. Yeah, I'll be sticking with 2D until they can figure out how to produce 3D movies that don't leave me wanting a lie-down in a darkened room, thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)
