Up

Another reason I'm not so cranky about Lucas selling out the Star Wars franchise is it helped him to get the necessary capital to start Pixar. Of course Lucas sold Pixar long before Toy Story blew us all away, but never the less, we must give credit where credit is due. This is a prime example of one man's creation, begetting even more creation. Who knows what Rowling could do with the proceeds from "selling out." Maybe she would continue in her human rights work and eradicate child-homelessness throughout the world. We will never know unless she sells her soul.



Speaking of Pixar, we watched Up this weekend. What a great follow up to Wall-e. Anyone who knows me well knows the concept of a house flying to S. America via a gigantic bouquet of balloons speaks to my soul very very deeply.

Matthew's grade: A- (the dogs in airplanes gave it the minus)

I mean Pixar just can't make a bad film. I remember when Katie and I were living in a van down by the river, Shawnee State had a movie night in the planetarium. While Cars, is not my favorite Pixar movie, watching it in the dome of observation of the universe made it AMAZING!

This brings me to a very very important question. What is your favorite Pixar movie? Here is a refresher list for all of you. Leave your favorite in the comments. (Bonus prizes for guessing my favorite)
