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.

	Where'd you see that? Also, there was an article from 1995 about how Toy Story almost didn't get made,and the first draft of the story had Barbie saving Buzz and Woody from Sid in her hot convertible. But, Mattel pulled the plug on it because they didn't want Barbie to act in a 'specific way' or whatever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Awwww. I was the kind of little girl (I was, er, seven in 1995) who played at Saving The World with her Barbies, so seeing her get to do that would have been AWESOME.

On Wikipedia! That bastion of accuracy and reliability, I know. Here we are. Working title used to be The Bear And The Bow but is now Brave, and it's scheduled for a Summer 2012 release. It has a female director as well as a female protagonist, and has EMMA THOMPSON AND JULIE WALTERS. There's a reason I am entirely too fangirly over this film.
