Toy Story 3 (2010)

Toy Story 3 movie posterNot gonna lie, Toy Story 3 was my most anticipated movie of 2010. Of course I saw it on the Australian release date, and to quote myself on Facebook, “I have no words for how awesome it was. All I have is keyboard smash: FJASDKLFHASDKL;”. Certainly, it’s the best animated film of all time, and among the very best of 2010. I can’t name any flaws. Basically? It was epic, and I think it was a great way to end (?) the series.

I also re-watched Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in preparation, and you know what? I lied when I said Up was the best thing Pixar has done so far. It’s been quite a few years since I’d seen any of the Toy Story franchise, and I’d forgotten how good it is. By the the third instalment, I’d grown so attached to these characters, and the ending was a bit emotional. I was definitely more attached to Woody and the gang than I ever was to my own toys, I don’t know why.

So! Now that I’ve seen it, this means that Cars is once again the only Pixar movie I haven’t seen. I don’t know, it just seems a bit kiddy, and I wasn’t much of a fan of Finding Nemo for that reason. But a sequel is going to be released next year, so ugh. Someone tell me if it’s worth watching, or something!

Glee, Or, In Which I Talk About One of My Guilty Pleasures

So Glee is definitely one of the cheesiest shows I’ve ever seen. Now, I have a very low tolerance for cheesiness and tackiness. Anything touchy-feely, romantic, or over-the-top, makes me cringe. When I started watching Glee, I basically had to watch it between my fingers.

Further, there are too many MySpace references for 2009, and it makes choir seem way more serious business than it could ever be In Real Life, but the fact that I whizzed through the first thirteen episodes is a sign that I somehow enjoy it. A lot. Someone tell me why, because I sure as hell don’t know. It does have some catchy song covers, which I think are decent even if I don’t necessarily like the song being covered.

My research tells me that it returns to our screens here on Thursday. So I guess I discovered it just in time.
