And Our Friendship Will Never Die.

I watched Toy Story 3.

It was Perfection. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it yet (and seriously, why haven't you?); Pixar, as usual, is amazing, the movie is one of the best (if not the best) ending of a trilogy (well, there's LOTR 3) and just.. a fantastic and well-deserved ending to the movie series I grew up with.

And it's also

RIGHT!? How utterly perfect was it? I honestly loved it even more than the first two, they genuinely made me love every single character. When I heard they were doing a third Toy Story, I was a bit wary, nervous that they just wanted to make another for the marketing benefits. But I knew I could trust Pixar, and it's true. They haven't failed me yet. ♥

I can't even tell you how! Pixar outdoes itself (again!) and I don't even know how they're going to top this one. I'm glad that they have ended their first attempt in sequels/trilogy in a complete and utter success.

I did love this one more too, I think it took everything great about the first two films and just matured beautifully. And I felt like watching The Movie in This Age gave me more of an accomplished feel, since Andy's journey is.. pretty much my journey (heck, I'm going to college at the same year he is) so it's just ended up very personal.

THIS THIS THIS. Disney and Spiderman made me jaded. The Scary Movies and whatever series don't help.

But I knew I could trust Pixar, and it's true.
This. And yes, they haven't failed yet.

Yes! Exactly. Which is comforting, since I think they're planning on both a Monsters Inc. 2 and a Cars 2. If they can just keep making them amazing, they could make three movies about a speck of dust and probably have me laughing/crying through the whole thing.

since Andy's journey is.. pretty much my journey
Aww. I know exactly what you mean. The part at the end with his empty room really struck home. I still remember how it felt when I left for college two years ago. They really portrayed that perfectly.

Here's hoping that they would go down the same way TS sequels go down (read: amazing) You can do this, Pixar!

Exactly. The part where Andy's Mom looked at his room and clearly tried not to cry also gets me because I saw that look at my own mother quite often lately. *hugs her mom* I'm not leaving forever, Mom!

Haa~ nonton di Blok M square aja kali~ 15ribu on nomat hehe. HAA GUE TELAT NONTON HOW I MET YOUR DRAGON. Waktu itu lagi di luar kota (pedesaan Tegal tepatnya) pas pulang UDAH ABIS HAAAHH. Mau beli blu-ray nya aja.

HAHAHA NEBAK DOANG CUY~ Lo tinggal di Indo mananya sih? Jakarta? Somewhere else? *penasaran nih*

[rabidline]

I think I'm gonna invite all my friends to see it because watching Pixar movies is more fun that way
Yes, it is- and I just remembered that my first viewing of TS3 was with my childhood friends (one of them I had since, kindergarten) and I just found it fitting since, well, I was in kindergarten when TS1 came up.

(now I just realized why me and my friend sobbed even harder when we looked at each other at the end of the film)

[rabidline]

Care to join me? (You'll be there in spirit) :3
Of course!

Oh, I'm a lightweight when it comes to tearjerking. I watched Up FIVE TIMES, with different sets of friends/family; in different cinemas, and I cried EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm also probably the only person who still cried watching Old Disney Canons (especially when The Wise Mentor died) ON TV. As for my friends.. TS3 was a special case (they don't usually cry on cinemas) but they took my habit in a good-natured way. Like they accepted my utter paranoia of All Scary Movies I've Watched (some of them aren't scary, but I hid/screamed nonetheless.)

AHH! I WANT TO SEE IT SO BAD! STUPID WORK.

My friend said it was sad -- Andy being all grown up and all. I get the feeling it's going to be bitter sweet, but still comedic and heart-warming.

I'm glad that I keep hearing it stayed true to the more traditional Disney (as the new age Disney needs to fade away). Story telling is indeed where it's at!

Friday night, will be Toy Story 3 night for me. STOKED!

[rabidline]

SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT!

Well, it's Pixar. 'Bittersweet yet Heartwarming' is like their Default Mode, with good reasons. Also see Mood Whiplash-ing people with no mercy. And I found it funny that Pixar does Disney better than Disney (although Princess and The Frog is a step in the right direction, Tangled not so much).

WOOOT! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

OMG it was the greatest, wasn't it? :S

it's also a golden example of movies that don't rely on 3D spiffiness to compensate for generic storytelling

I totally agree! The 3D version was great but more because it was subtle.

[rabidline]

It was, it was! And I'm not really a fan of 3D so how TS3 used it was a great surprise for me. It was very subtle, like you said.
