I can buy the bit about an old man losing his wife... but College Age Andy losing his toys... not sad enough for me... if he lost a bag of weed I could see him being depressed but losing his toys... nah.

However, I liked TS3 because it is a great prison escape movie masked into a cartoon or vice versa.

The Machinist.

Blind bought that just after Christmas and only got round to watching it last night - great movie but depressing

I went in expecting an ultra-depressing film but was surprised it didn't have that effect at all on me. I found it quite hopeful. In any case, I loved it.

the opening sequences in UP are beyond fucking sad. they did such a great job on it, VERY effective, really makes you able to empathize and watch a cartoon about the old codger. pixar knows how to make a great fucking film when they're on the ball.

toy story 3 ain't one of those times, but i know it got a TON of people right in the gut.

Hollywoodland is great, and it is out on Blu (Japan, yeah!), so it works. i couldn't imagine watching a film that were all Affleck, because he's so good at being tragic in that one. oy.

ONe of the things PIXAR ever did that threw me for a loop was the opening of Finding Nemo... I was quite shocked at how violent and dark the opening to that film really was, yeah it opens up as it progresses but I remember sitting in the theater being floored and wasn't sure if I liked the movie very much until the Shark Anonymous Meeting and of course The ride through the EAC.

Up's opening is definitely out there, and I will give-in that it is depressing, but I didn't care for Up all that much as an overall film. Still PIXAR still puts out the best films in the CG animation department.

TS3 was a bit freaky with the baby doll with the lazy eye, but the fact it was such a great prison break style flick is why I enjoyed it as much as I did, and of course you can't go wrong with Spanish Buzz.
