Let me just say, I'm bitter I won't be there. :(

I have a $40 gift card fro AMC 14 on Van Ness, but can I face an opening weekend alone?

Wall-E is at 97% with 79 reviews in.
That's dang good!

I'm going to bed. It is tomorrow on the east coast. One sentence:

It is upper middle of the pack for Pixar. But keep in mind that is kind of like saying someone was an average Rhodes Scholar. The first act was phenomenal but then, for me, there was a bit of a slow leak in the energy.


Ok, three sentences.

98% 93 reviews in. Wow!
:)

And, uh, why did Eisner not want to continue Disney's relationship with Pixar at one point? What a dinglecheese.

Well, it wasn't that he didn't want to continue the relationship. It was that he didn't want to continue the relationship under the terms it would have required.

And he was probably right. If Disney hadn't bought Pixar the next negotiated distribution deal would have probably put Disney in Paramount's situation where they have made almost no money off of movies that have done a combined $1 billion in domestic box office.

I see.

Cool review, Alex!

By the way, my review at MousePlanet isn't very well written, in my opinion. I had a hell of time trying to get a hook into what I wanted to say (that despite flaws it is still pretty good).

Mick LaSalle at the SF Chronicle, pretty much captured perfectly what I was trying for.

And you've got an "it's/its" error.

Where? I'm not finding it.

Nevermind, I read the sentence wrong.
