I just came back from 'Cars' as well. Boston Pride was one big soggy mess. So I took in a bit of the parade and the festival. Too many soggy fags and leaky dykes for me, so I left.
I thought 'Cars' was okay. I thought it was beautiful. Did anyone notice the ultra-cool shadows during the race? Tens of different light sources making car shadows all over the place. Loved it. The scenery was one of my favorite parts of the film, the car parts in the hills etc. And I think they did trees better than they did trees in 'The Incredibles'. The animation was stellar. Beautiful stuff.
But, I was bored in places. I found myself getting shifty midway through the 2nd Act. I wasn't the only one, there were a ton of kids and wet queens that were restless as well... Just an observation.
I wished I liked Lightning McQueen more. I just didn't find enough of a reason to care about him. I don't know. I love Owen Wilson, though. And I can't stop saying 'Ka-Chow!'
I wished there was more of a villain throughout. That might have pushed the story along.
Loved Paul Newman.
I shed a small tear at the end.
I think we ranked Pixar flicks before, but can't remember where...
My ratings:
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Cars
Monsters Inc.
A Bug's Life
Toy Story
Kind of underwhelmed by 'One Man Band'. The girl was cute.
For me, TS2 was just a lot funnier than TS1. :shrug:
