My unpopular Pixar take is that Up gets a higher ranking in people’s minds than it should just because of the first ten minutes. - Volnelk Jun 17, 12:10 19
- What the first ten minutes have taught me, bet the hand that your money's on - rollo Jun 17, 13:39
- And Coco haters are insane. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:33

  - Yup. -- nm - kelly Jun 17, 12:53
- Dug is fantastic. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 12:28
- That might be the most sloppy bawl-inducing 4 minutes Pixar has ever produced. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 17, 12:21 3
  - Sloppy? -- nm - JD Jun 17, 12:26 2
    - Sloppy cry, not sloppy filmmaking -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 12:26 1
      - Correct. I was imprecise. The sloppy is in reference to the bawling. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 17, 12:38
- That's actually what lowers it for me. That sequence is too emotional. The rest of it is a fun romp. -- nm - David Jun 17, 12:19 2
  - That was what made the romp even better. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:25 1
    - Yeah, but ... I'm pretty sure being emotionally annihilated would reduce the fun. And it was more annihilating for some than others. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:43
- So, the first ten minutes don't count? -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:11 1
  - They do, but it isn’t a ten minute movie. So it’s ok. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 17, 12:24
- and that alone is fine. Its up on my list too -- nm - budice Jun 17, 12:11
Wait, I didn’t see the Shoresy one? - spamlet Jun 17, 12:07 4
- Wait, what would bobble in that case? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:13

- I was just coming to post this as well. Wonder if it’s a bluff. -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 12:05 1

- You know the expression "I'd listen to [x] read the phone book"? That transcript was worse than a phone book. -- nm - Max Jun 17, 11:54 9
  - It sounds like someone recorded him reading every phonetic phrase and patched this together from that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 12:05 8
    - Yeah, with some breath sounds for fun. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:13 3
      - Except that it wasn't the delivery, it was the words that formed such inane ideas that I couldn't take another second listening to it. -- nm - Max Jun 17, 12:14 2
        
        for comparison...here is Scott Steiner actually saying it... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 17, 12:17 [youtube] 1
        
        I don't think I'm successfully communicating how much I *don't* want to listen to it. -- nm - Max Jun 17, 12:35
    - Q - Spawn Jun 17, 12:07 3
      - the reddit forum says this was AI doing it -- nm - Remlik Jun 17, 12:09 2
        
        So, like, Borg? -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:12 1

Remember those Richard Scarry books? Guess they've been updating them over the years because (suprise!) they're racist and sexist at times -- (link) - oblique Jun 17, 11:33 6
- I've read a couple of the original Hardy Boys. What a difference. - zork Jun 17, 11:43 2
  - Bobbsey twins are shockingly racist. They have a colored cook and (handyman?). -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 12:49 1
    - are we really shocked though? -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 12:51
- Beautiful Screaming Lady ought to be a band name -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:42 1
