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.

	Ah, okay, ha! Yeah, the theater I saw it in wasn't all that crowded, either, and it was a 7:20 Saturday showing a week after the film was released, but it was also the Saturday of Pride Weekend in SF. I suspect a lot of people saw it as soon as it came out - it's still doing gangbusters at the box office. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In another thread someone said that it might be because I went to see it 2D. Haven't been able to risk $8 on the chance that I might get a headache in the 3D yet, LOL. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hmm. I saw it in 3D (I thought it was worth it - they used it nicely to create additional depth during some scenes, but didn't overdo it on the "this was totally done just to show off the 3D/jump in your face"), and there were definitely more people in my theater than there seem to have been in yours, but there were definitely a good number of open seats.
