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.

Protip: take some programming classes if you can. I am one of those girls, and I came in with a computer science degree. The industry is super rough on art students, who can be picked up cheaply right out of college and bounced between projects and studios. If you've got some technical skills, you'll have more staying power, and that is definitely a Good Thing.

Good luck getting here! We need more women, seriously. When I pointed out how it was seriously sexist that all the sweatboxes are named for Japanese porn stars, the guys turned around and tried to convince me that it was sexist that H&M has a smaller selection of men's clothing than women's clothing. How the two are at all comparable, I have NO IDEA.
