quiet, musical hog!
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC TOY STORY 3 IS
You see even though I knew I shouldn't, I went into that movie with really high expectations. It completely met my expectations, and even exceeded them in some ways.
There is a buttload of spoiler-filled posts on my main page right now.
One of the things I was expecting was that Toy Story 3 would make me cry. I was, um, very right about this. You see, I'm not much of a crier over movies. A sad part in a movie might make my eyes well up, and very rarely do I ever go beyond that. But Toy Story 3? TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES. I was very near sobbing by the time the credits rolled. XD I have never cried that much inside a movie theater before.
I made it to the part with the old home movies of Andy before I started crying. That part is, oh, 2 or 3 minutes into the film. XD;
And then I was okay UNTIL THEY STEAL ANDY'S CELL PHONE AND CALL IT SO THAT HE WILL OPEN THE TOY BOX AND SEE THEM. And he's just like whatevs and digs his cell phone out and Woody's like hugging the other phone, and MY HEART, IT BROKE. For the first of MANY, MANY times. So yes, many parts of Toy Story 3 were utterly heartbreaking and made me cry like I've never cried before over a movie. I was expecting that.
But what I wasn't expecting was the sheer amount of different emotions and the intensity of them that the film brought out in me. I cried, sure, but I laughed a lot, and cheered, and got angry, and was scared.
Like, I was really really hoping that Lotso would redeem himself after Woody saved him, so when he ran off without stopping the incinerator I literally gasped, "NO!" right there in the middle of the theater. XD
So uh yeah speaking of which, how terrifying was that part with the incinerator. DDDDD: IT WAS MORE STRESSFUL THAN THE SERIES FINALE OF LOST. MY HEART WAS LEGIT POUNDING. I GOT SO SWEATY. I knew they'd get out of it somehow, but STILL! And they were all like holding hands and omgggggggg
But then our whole theater burst into applause when the little aliens saved them with the claw, lol.
And I dunno if it was because we had such a good audience or what, but the funny parts were really, really funny. XD Ken was consistently hilarious, especially the scene where Barbie is "torturing" him by ripping up his extensive wardrobe. Also I was laughing really hard at Mr. Potato Head as a tortilla and I really don't know why.
SPANISH BUZZ WAS HYSTERICAL
I thought that was going to be dumb when I saw it in the trailers but it was so funny, I don't even know. I just love that there's this dramatic escape attempt going on and Buzz is yelling silly things in subtitled Spanish. He and Jessie were so adorably awkward and funny, oh my.
Yeah but no I love Jessie, I'm glad she got to do a lot. Her backstory was sooo well-done, and I liked that they referenced it a few times in Toy Story 3.
And the ending...Personally, I thought it was perfect. Up to the end it looks like their only options are either being stored away in the attic until who knows when, or donated to Sunnyside. But the way things play out they get everything they wanted throughout the movie, you know? They get to be loved and played with by somebody else, they get one more afternoon with Andy, and they get to actually hear him say how much they still mean to him. I was dyyyying when Andy was taking each of them out of the box and telling Bonnie about how special they each were. OH GOD WHAT HE SAID ABOUT WOODY ;____; So many tears on the part of me, my mom, and my sister.
And then when Bonnie made Woody wave at Andy. Oh. <3
Seriously, it was an amazing moviegoing experience and such a good final chapter to such a big part of my childhood. Now I'm actually excited for this allegedly confirmed Monsters, Inc. sequel, since we've seen how well Pixar can handle a trilogy. :3
I'm actually going to go see it again tomorrow, lmao. My sister made plans to go with two of her friends, and I volunteered to drive them so I could go see it again. XD I dunno though, I'm gonna have to drive all over to pick up these kids, and I'm a bit nervous about that. It's not that I'm scared of driving, per se, it's just like...I have no confidence in my abilities as a driver. I mean, I feel like... if I got lost or some dangerous situation happened I wouldn't know how to respond in the right away. I more or less enjoy driving - the car we own really is fun to drive - but in the back of my mind, I'm always nervous something is going to happen.
...Which I guess is a fear of driving, huh? XD I dunno. I think it's just that I've had a few near-accidents, and I'm such an inexperienced driver. I'd feel better about driving if I drove more and got more experience, but because I'm inexperienced driving makes me a little nervous, and thus I don't want to drive that much, so I don't get more experience and I don't feel better about it. XD; It's a vicious cycle.
BUT. My love of Toy Story 3 far transcends my driving anxieties. So drive all over creation tomorrow I will.
And before I turn in for the night, the zillions of Easter eggs in Toy Story 3! I think my favorite is the postcard from Carl and Ellie from Up. :D And I can't believe I didn't realize the garbage guy was Sid! I'd even read about him having a cameo, too. I also can't believe I missed Buzz's Buy 'n Large batteries, considering how much I love Wall-E. XD
