That's also what makes Final Fantasy IV the best Final Fantasy and one of the only videogames I'm not embarrassed to have on the TV when my wife is around. Violet learning how to do The Bubble is Rydia learning Fire.

Somehow the most staid superpowers feel totally fresh here.

There's a little Edith Head lady in this movie.

It really is so good. Maybe I should make some lifestyle changes and watch more Pixar. I've never seen a Toy Story sequel or a Car.

Yeah, you should watch all Pixar.

Except anything Cars. Fuck those movies.

Oh yeah, I thought Up was okay. But it came off the rails with the Kevin stuff and the explody last act.

Explody last act worked better in Incredibles because super heroes.

It was pretty great how they got around the indestructible robot obstacle.

Seriously, how did they get that whole thing in her butt?

Have you thought about just watching up until the end of the silent film section and considering it to be a short film. That's what I do.

Josh: Yeah, and they used it twice as well =(. I'm surprised they didn't go AC/DC when the whole crowd was chanting "Thun-der".

Watching the beginning of Up and then stopping gives you the full punch in the balls without the Pixar Payoff. Brutal. I don’t think I could do it.

When my girlfriend and her best friend were at my place, I had them watch iron giant and stopped it before the head rolled back together part. They were crying like crazy, so I showed them a cut of UP I made that is only up to the end of silent part. There is a comfortable chair in hell waiting for me.
