Bring it on down to Green Lanternville...

At this point I think 2 only exists to sell more merch which from a business standpoint I get but fuuuuuu as a movie goer with kids I get sick of this shit.

The 'Cars' franchise = a license to print money legally.

I'll be in Disney World at the end of July. I fully expect to be surrounded with kids wearing Mater and Lightning McQueen shirts.

[FilmNerdJamie]

More importantly, will 'Cars 2' make 100 million this weekend?

I think it'll come close. Went ahead and got my ticket for Friday evening.

Tried watching 'Cars' last night. WHAT DO PEOPLE SEE IN THAT FUCKING MOVIE?

Seriously, the best part of the movie are the fucking backgrounds.

I think we're gonna try and see it Saturday afternoon. I'm holding off on buying tickets until I get past my overnight software deployment (Friday night/Saturday morning)...I don't want to sleep through it.

A babysitter for their kids.

[Matt]

This MIGHT be the first Pixar film to barely scrape by on RT, though. Only 11 reviews are in, and 3 of them are VERY negative.

To be fair though, how much of that is due to everyone gunning for Pixar to have an outright failure?

[Abraham Smashington]

Or is it because CARS just was not a good movie?

While I'll agree that Pixar is due to have a 'clunker'...both critically and financially...I'm not sure if people are GUNNING for them. Everyone seems to like Pixar, wish them well, and bear them general goodwill.

At least, that's MY impression.

The way that you feel about 'Cars' is the way that I feel about 'A Bug's Life'.

[Abraham Smashington]

I also hate 'A Bug's Life' but I'd rather watch that than Cars.

[Matt]

I also hate 'A Bug's Life' but I'd rather watch that than Cars.

And I'm the opposite. And HATE is too strong of a word to use on any of the Pixar films.

Personally, I'd rank the films as follows:
1. 'The Incredibles'
2. 'Up'
3. 'Wall-E'
4. 'Ratatouille'
5. 'Monsters Inc.'
6. 'Toy Story 2'
7. 'Finding Nemo'
8. 'Toy Story 3'
9. 'Cars'
10. 'Toy Story'
11. 'A Bug's Life'

And I'd give 1-7 a solid A rating.
am I missing one? eta: yep, forgot 'Ratatouille'

A babysitter for their kids.

Anyone turning their kids loose at the theater when said kid is under 14 deserves to be kicked in the junk. Any kid over 14 and under 18 at the theater needs to be kicked in the junk.*
