For the record, no STers were harmed in my FB tirade. I'm also about ready to unsubscribe from anyone posting those stupid "your ecard" things. - Jim Jun 22, 11:56 17
- I do like some of the ecards -- nm - Beryllium Jun 22, 13:04
- But Jim, FB is the perfect place for ecards! -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 12:06

Maybe I'll go clamming before picking up the kids. raw clams with cocktail sauce sounds good - CQ Jun 22, 11:46 2
- and beer. Can't forget that. - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:50 1
  - No see, you chop up some onions and garlic and add the clams and a bottle of Coors Light. put pan on grill and wait til they open. so good -- nm - CQ Jun 22, 11:57

- Germany. -- nm - Krusty Jun 22, 12:00
- Sports or economics? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 11:52
- Depends, will Germany be invading Russia? -- nm - Ender Jun 22, 11:51
- Greece. Gregory Peck & David Niven are on their way to Navarrone :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 22, 11:46
- Got to root for Greece even though they have no chance. Gomez isn't even starting. -- nm - CQ Jun 22, 11:44 3
  - People said they had no chance in 2004 either... - J Jun 22, 11:55 2
    - total fluke. no Charisteas magic this time around -- nm - CQ Jun 22, 11:59 1

Has Disney ever had one of their princesses voiced by someone who has a CV similar to Kelly Macdonald? - JD Jun 22, 11:36
Heh. I figured this would be largely agreed with by ST... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 11:34 44
- Ranking these is a moving target (I really love them all), but... - Kim Pine Jun 22, 12:12
- I have seen four of these. Ratatouille and toy story were palatable. The incredibles made me hurt, physically. - amanda Jun 22, 12:09 1
  - Hurt... because the pleasure centers of your brain were overloading, making your limbs writhe and muscles cramp? - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 12:15
- 1) Up 2) Monsters, Inc. 3) The Incredibles 4) Toy Story 3 5) Ratatouille 6) Finding Nemo 7) Wall-E 8) Toy Story 9) Toy Story 2 10) Cars 11) Cars 2 - kelly Jun 22, 11:50 18
  - I haven't seen either of the Cars - with how they're ranked on most of the lists here. no hurry, eh? -- nm - b. Jun 22, 11:52 17
    - The first is up there in my group of "top Pixar". The second is at the bottom of my list -- nm - oblique Jun 22, 11:55 5
      - This. The first was very good. The second was awful. I wanted my money back. -- nm - Krusty Jun 22, 12:02 4
        
        To me the first was an animated version of Doc Hollywood, but Doc Hollywood was better. - pmb Jun 22, 12:03 3
        
        (except for all that racing stuff) - Spawn Jun 22, 12:11 2
        
        To me it was a superfluous part of the movie. You just substitute the racing for "doctoring" in Doc Hollywood. The heart of the story was the same. -- nm - pmb Jun 22, 12:13 1
        
        Yeah. Totally not the same. - Spawn Jun 22, 12:39
    - I'd watch Cars. I think if you're a racing fan you'll like it more than if you are not. - spamlet Jun 22, 11:55 5
      - Not a racing fan. That (and Larry the Cable Guy) were why I avoided the movie for so long. - Spawn Jun 22, 12:07 2
        
        Now I have this image of Logan putting you in a headlock and making you type that IM -- nm - oblique Jun 22, 12:08 1
        
        Nope. I have seen it far more than any other Pixar and I would have no problem watching it again. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 12:09
      - yeah, that's a pretty good summary of 2. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:55 1
        
        It's almost like they were working on a Bond spoof when Disney bought them out and told them to make Cars 2. -- nm - spamlet Jun 22, 11:57
    - I like Cars 1 a lot. It's hard to rank these, because so many of them are *soclose* in greatness. - kelly Jun 22, 11:54 3
      - That's why mine is in tiers. For me, the items in each tier could rearrange, but the tiers are fairly consistent. -- nm - spamlet Jun 22, 11:56 1
        
        Yeah, that's about right. -- nm - kelly Jun 22, 11:58
      - thanks, guys - maybe I'll watch the first before too long. -- nm - b. Jun 22, 11:55
    - The first one is solid, the second has a couple decent moments and impressive animation but is otherwise skippable. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:53
- Best to worst starting with Toy Story 3 - oblique Jun 22, 11:45 3
  - I really like Wall-E but having rewatched my top 5 very recently, I can say the are superior in longevity - oblique Jun 22, 11:47 2
    - Yeah, there's an interesting dissonance there... - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 11:55 1
      - Agreed. The opening sequence is at the top of my list with the same from Up and the scene with Sully at the bottom of the mountain - oblique Jun 22, 12:00
- 1) Incredibles, 2) Nemo, 3) Toys 3, 4) Toys 2, 5) Up, 6) Toys 1, 7) Monsters, 8) Rat, 9) Bugs, 10) Cars, 11) Cars 2, 12) WALL-E -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:43 5
  - Monsters that low is dlc -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 22, 11:47 2
    - Don't look at the Vulture's list then -- nm - Roger More Jun 22, 11:58
    - Something has to be 7. The first 7 are all excellent. After that is a bit of a drop off. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:48
  - [deleted]
  - Fail. And the fact that Cars 2 is ahead of it means I have officially passed you on the list of "sane movie choices" - Magic MDH Jun 22, 11:44
- Here's my ranking: with Wall-E at #1 - Magic MDH Jun 22, 11:37 8
  - Mine: - spamlet Jun 22, 11:44 1
    - My list would be very similar to yours, but I'd move Finding Nemo up into the first group. -- nm - pmb Jun 22, 12:05
  - Incredibles needs to be higher. And I still think Toy Story 2 is the best of the series, if only for the 'When She Loved Me' sequence - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 11:39 5
    - Incredibles is the one I just couldn't love (I saw it last year for the first time which might be a reason) - Magic MDH Jun 22, 11:41 4
      - Incredibles is near the top of my list. - kelly Jun 22, 11:45
      - Yeah, Incredibles was okay but not one that I just die to see again. -- nm - spamlet Jun 22, 11:42 2
        
        Yeah, it really was too Watchmen rip-off for me to love. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 11:45
        
        you both may want to duck if Kim's around. -- nm - b. Jun 22, 11:45
- No. - Spawn Jun 22, 11:36 2
  - I agree. -- nm - the liioulu with lock Jun 22, 11:44
  - this -- nm - oblique Jun 22, 11:43
re: Boston.com: There's a movie coming out this similar with a similar theme - Magic MDH Jun 22, 11:32 2
- Not this similar. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 11:33
- wow, that sounds excit....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -- nm - CQ Jun 22, 11:33
All the negativity for Brave reminds me of when WALL-E came out and Disney freaked out. - spamlet Jun 22, 11:26 12
- Reading the Vulture review (until they get to the spoiler section, at which point I click out), there's a lot more than the trailer implies - Dr.Vermin Jun 22, 11:37 1
  - Yeah, IIRC Disney wouldn't even show WALL-E to critics because they were so scared. - spamlet Jun 22, 11:40
- I think Wall-E was the beginning of the end of their unquestioned greatness. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:30 9
  - *opens mouth* *closes mouth* - spamlet Jun 22, 11:38
  - Except for the fact that it was great. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 11:32 7
    - This. Easily the best Pixar movie. -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 22, 11:40 2
      - wait, Wall-E was best? Seriously? I mean, I enjoyed it, but getting hit over the head repeatedly with the "message" of the movie was annoying. - sycor Jun 22, 12:06
      - Besides The Incredibles maybe. Actually I don't know where WALL-E ranks for me. -- nm - Shaun Jun 22, 11:50
    - no -- nm - Don Homer Jun 22, 11:32 3
      - Liar. -- nm - Ender Jun 22, 11:33
      - yes - Spawn Jun 22, 11:32 1
        
        indeed. -- nm - Jovian Jun 22, 12:03
