What happened to the Trilobite?

::flails Tsukos::I take it you enjoyed the movie, then? :3Did you know that Pixar owes its existence to a terrible movie George Lucas did? He was in debt and made a movie, hoping it would bring him in the clear. It did quite the opposite when it bombed (what a surprise) and George had to start selling off assets. Steve Jobs offered to buy Lucas’s new CGI division and it became Pixar. The terrible movie-bomb in question? Howard the Duck. If you dare to watch it, gather a group of friends, plenty of junk food, and be prepared to be hurt and amused by the stupid.

*lol* That is spectacular! I remember that movie from childhood, my next door neighbor watched it all the bloody time.^^

Yeah I just saw it yesterday with my little brother and sister. I was really touched by it which is odd, I’m usually pretty impassive about movies!

Pixar really knows how to pull at heart strings.

I liked howard the Duck In the comics.

But, where’s the Trilobite? (I likes trilobites, I does!)

Oh, I also like how you can see the number of comments on the front page, now. :3

I shall have to see Toy Story 3 sometime, then. I’ll probably opt out of the 3-D bit because in my opinion, it just sucks away your money.

I pretty much only see movies in 2D if there’s an option. I don’t like not being able to see what’s going on, and that’s about the only effect 3D has on me. Thus a waste of money. Besides, Pixar movies are so beautifully shot anyway, there’s really no need.^^

I saw it last weekend, and it was good. I did see it in 3D, too.

IMO, 3D is the future, and while it’s not always a huge improvement to a movie, in some movies it is just absolutely spectacular (Avatar and the last Trek movie (for all its other faults) both come to mind). Personally, I like 3D, and I’m willing to pay a little extra for it most of the time, and to also encourage movie theaters and companies to continue investing in the technology.

Thanks for trilobites!

3D is fine as long as it doesn’t merely consist of things poking out at you from the screen. Beowulf was a bit too much of that. I have a friend with vertigo problems who had to leave the movie halfway through. Other than that, I think that as they drop the gimmicks it’ll become standard.

Toy Story 3 was beautiful. I cried. It and Up are high on my list of favorite recent films. Pixar really has hit something powerful with the emotions in it’s films. I have huge amounts of respect for the heart they’ve managed to hold onto.
