I thought it was just as good as finding nemo and the lot, if you're interested then you should definitely go see it and form your own opinion

alisonmonster · 06-18-2006, 12:58 AM

the trailers didn't do anything for me, to be honest. I'm going to wait til dvd and see for sure. i dunno, there has been nothing in the theatres i've been interested in for a really long time now.

Ugly · 06-18-2006, 02:06 AM

Cars is not only the worst Pixar movie ever made ... its actually a BAD MOVIE. You can rank all previous pixar efforts on a scale of 3 out of 5. As much as you hate little parts on those movies, they are still, overall, good movies.

But Cars is does not rank even that high. Its bad. I really don't like it. At all.

TuralyonW3 · 06-18-2006, 02:09 AM

It's Monters Inc. that doesn't do anything for me. I'd probably rank Toy Story 1&2, Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Cars about the same, then Monsters under that. I'm probably forgetting some Pixar movie.

Ugly · 06-18-2006, 02:19 AM

Fuck that shit. Monsters Inc has an interesting interaction between the "real world" and the "monster world". I've never seen that before. Ever. And the "soul" of the story had to do with someone taking care of a child. Very tug-at-the-heartstrings kind of deal.

Story wise Monsters Inc. is SO much more orginal than fucking "Doc Hollywood With Cars" bullshit that Pixar shat out last week.

Fucking terrible movie. Fucking cars. Fuck you, Pixar.

Shapan · 06-18-2006, 02:25 AM

i saw nacho libre, i thought it was funny. the storyline wasnt a masterpiece obviously, but jack black just dude a good job being funny. he kinda reminded me of a mexican borat from the ali g show.

i still need to see cars, im a pixar fanboy too. ive heard mixed reviews, i hope it's good.

the whole big door scene at the end just doesn't click with me for some reason.

btw do you at least thing cars was pretty impressive visually?

Ugly · 06-18-2006, 02:31 AM

Yes, Cars was impressive visually. But ALL Pixar movies are impressive visually. But they also rule on a storytelling level. Cars can't pull that off. Because 70% of the movie is fucking cars talking to each other about the history of their city and their lives. I don't buy it and I don't like it.

Pixar helped usher in the CGI movie phase that we're living through now. Every 2 weeks there's a CGI cartoon out there. If they set the standard, then they should go above it. Cars doesn't. Becuase its fucking talking cars. And I don't buy them as real characters living, breathing characters. Because they're awkwardly animated cars.

Fuck that shit, I don't care about you, you fucking talking car that sounds like Larry the Cable Guy. Fuck you.

When you saw Cars did you see the 5 or 6 trailers of awful looking CGI movies coming out? They're seriously just churning this shit out.

ammy · 06-18-2006, 12:07 PM

being a car dork, dan wants to see cars (but keep trying to blame me "you wanted to see cars, right?") but then when i'm like "let's go see cars" he's all "naww... all we're going to be watching will be kids movies, i don't want to start now.."

anyway. yeah.
nacho libre was funny. i was definitely amused. it was just... not worth seeing in theater. i'm not big on seeing movies in theater unless it's worth it.

ravenguy2000 · 06-18-2006, 12:56 PM

Problem with Cars #1

Yes, it was visually impressive. Or at least, the scenery was. The characters, however, were not. The worst part is that they didn't work as real characters that you cared about and rooted for, but they didn't work as real automobiles either. It killed the action scenes because part of the thrill and NASCAR and car racing in general is that not only do the cars go really really fast, but they're these large, hulking, heavy pieces of machinery as well. The cars in "Cars" had no weight, no heft, no sense of mass, and that killed any aspect of the racing scenes.

Watch King Kong again. It should have been entirely possible for the cars to have that sense of heaviness and size. Watch the action scenes in The Incredibles again. Its still a very "cartoony" kind of world but the physics felt real and that provided so much of the excitment. You felt like the characters would not only be crushed underneath some of the things they were up against if they had rolled on top of them, but you felt like they would have been pulverized into the ground.

"Cars" ruins all of that. The cars have the ability to flit and whip around and bend and jump at will, so eventually you have no sense of danger. The racing scenes in a completely CG world should have been the most mind bending, thrilling, exciting action scenes ever animated, unfortunately they were just dull beyond belief.

Fuck that man. With the exception of Toy Story 1, Monsters Inc. is the best movie Pixar has done. Followed by a Bug's Life. Then all those other shitty ones.

ravenguy2000 · 06-18-2006, 04:39 PM

Everybody remind me to never seriously consider Zorgon's opinions again.

alisonmonster · 06-18-2006, 04:41 PM

yeah really. the Incredibles and Finding Nemo were easily the best they've done, which, if Cars is even mediocre at best, makes it an even bigger dissapointment.

Karl Connor · 06-18-2006, 04:43 PM

i wish disney would do their CGI movies in the vein of The Lion King or something

alisonmonster · 06-18-2006, 04:45 PM

since Pixar took over the animation dept. at Disney after the merge, they might do somthing like that. It would be interesting to see if Pixar/Disney can handle an epic.

06-18-2006, 04:47 PM

i'm still peeved t hat pixar and disney didn't permanently split
i want to see them do a really dark and violent movie

ravenguy2000 · 06-18-2006, 04:52 PM

Problem with Cars #2

The acting was boring and bland. Like the voices I mean. Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Jason Lee, and Sarah Vowell = movie gold. Ellen Degeneres, Al Brooks, plus the scary amount of other awsome people in Nemo = instant classic.

Owen Wilson + Bonnie Hunt + Paul Newman (only because the role was just completely deadweight and cliche) = snooze fest. Your movie is pretty much fucked when Larry the Cable Guy is the highlight. There were times when Owen Wilson sounded like Owen Wilson but most of it was just so completely bland, line reading for the most part. And Bonnie Hunt I think is incredibly talented but I just don't think she's at her best in fucking Cheaper by the Dozen III and all of those terrible sitcoms or whatever.

I mean, Tom Hanks and Tim Allen were better than this crap. TIM ALLEN.

TIM THE TOOLMAN TAYLOR.

And Kevin Spacey killed in Bug's Life. And John Goodman and Billy Crystal in Monsters was just hilarity. I mean really, I don't know what Pixar was thinking here. I don't want to say they were just trying to cash in by casting the most middle of the road, commercial people they could get but that's really, really what it almost looks like, you know?

if that Final Fantasy movie wasnt a box office bomb i'm sure studios now would be alot more receptive to "adult" themed CGI movies, i.e. ones that arent about talking animals or whatever

AndySlash · 06-18-2006, 07:10 PM

Haven't seen Cars yet (and I'm not really jonesing to do so, either- from the first preview I saw of it it just didn't seem all that intersting), so I can't comment on that, but I can say I don't understand the love for The Incredibles.

If I were rating Pixar flicks

Toy Story > Bugs Life > Finding Nemo > Toy Story 2 >>> Monsters Inc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Incredibles

I think I laughed maybe three times during The Incredibles, and I thought the story was just plain dumb. I was really disappointed that this was a Pixar movie, it just didn't have the magic that they usually are able to pull off.

AndySlash · 06-18-2006, 07:12 PM

Heh, I forgot this thread started out as a Nacho Libre thread.

Nacho Libre was just kind of dull.

there was 30 minutes of movie in there padded with shots of people not talking.

the farts were annoying and just put there to make kids giggle. thanks nickelodeon!

and it seems much more so to me in this movie than Napoleon Dynamite that Jared Hess is just Wes Anderson for Dummies.

My statement is still valid because I had never seen "Little Monsters" and "Ahhh! Real Monsters" before.
