STILL IN CAPSLOCK MODE, SORRY
I WATCHED TOY STORY 3, GUYS. IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR. THOUGH THAT'S NOT TOO DIFFICULT TO SAY AT THE MOMENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE A PROPER REVIEW. HERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS I LIKED ABOUT IT:
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR: SPANISH MODE. DONDE ESTA MY SPACESHIP. LOLOLOLOL JESSIE AS HIS "DESERT FLOWER" ASLFKHSLDGHKLSDFLS LEGIT MY FAVOURITE THING THAT HE IS BASICALLY ANTONIO BANDERAS IN A SPACESUIT.
MR TORTILLA HEAD OMG OMG I DIED PLZ, AND THEN HE BECAME MR "FRESH" CUCUMBER HEAD AHAHAHAHA
MR PRICKLEPANTS THE THESPIAN (P/S VOICED BY TIMOTHY DALTON I.E., PERFECTION)
KEN DOLL IS NOT AN ACCESSORY, IF YOU PLEASE. OMG HIM PUTTING ON A FASHION SHOW FOR BARBIE - "FREAK OUT!" ALSO ASSSSSSSCOTS.
THE CLAAAAW!
BONNIE WAS AN ADORABLE ADORABLE ADORABLE GIRL.
PEAS IN A POD - I WANT THE PLUSHIE VERSION OF THIS.
"NOT ALL AT ONCE!" "I THINK HE SAID ALL AT ONCE!"
LOTSO URGH. BEST FATE FOR A VILLAINOUS EVIL BEAR THAT SMELLS LIKE STRAWBERRIES, Y/Y
THAT BABY WAS SO CREEPY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS ON THE SWING AND THEN IT SWIVELLED ITS HEAD AROUND AND THEN ITS BODY. WHAT THE FUCKERY.
And now for the rather more serious part of the 'review' - that really was a gloriously touching, beautiful, sad-as-fuck fantastically bittersweet movie. I really believe that it stands on its own, and you can easily watch Toy Story 3 if for whatever faily reason you've not watched the first two movies ever. But having had both movies in my life for years upon years (I even remember watching Toy Story 2 with my friend, L, in Seattle, the Christmas break I visited her in the States after my first year of university), watching this one was just... so heartbreaking when you know that the goodbye between Andy and his toys will be so much more final this time. It's an ongoing theme of all the movies, obviously - when do you say goodbye to, essentially, the things that bound you to and defined your youth and childhood? I thought my crying during the Jessie flashback sequence (set to Sarah McLachlan, way to kill me more) in Toy Story 2 was outrageous... this was NOTHING compared to the ending of freakin' Toy Story 3. I should've seen it coming, and in a way I did, but I literally was a complete mess when Andy saw that note written to him by Woody. Fuck fuck fuck - just the thought of it is making me a bit weepy now. The thought that Woody, who had spent the entire movie (and honestly the first two movies as well) always fighting to get back to Andy's side and to be there for Andy... the thought that he had decided to give his friends another good home with a sweet, imaginative kid, to say goodbye to Andy... oh my FUCK I died. (SEE, I AM CRYING A BIT RIGHT NOW JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, OH MY FUCK I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.) When Andy introduced every one of his toys to Bonnie, I was, like, oh my god I am done I am DONE, stop making me cry like that - and then he took Woody out of the box, and that moment when he was staring at Woody and hesitating about giving him to Bonnie... oh my lord I could NOT deal with it. And when Andy asked her to take special care of Woody!?!? And when Andy started playing with the toys, one last time, with Bonnie, I... oh my god it was HEARTBREAKING.
IT IS SO RIDICULOUS. But legit I was crying like a fool (I still am just thinking about it, I REALLY AM NOT KIDDING ABOUT THIS, what is wrong with me!). Fuck fuck fuckity. I love this movie, and this franchise, and goddamn Pixar for making every single part of this trilogy so epic. I actually was a bit apprehensive about Toy Story 3 and had fears it might suck a bit, considering how Disney was gonna do it without Pixar etc etc, and how the trailer was okaaay but not great. Turns out the trailer didn't want to give too much away, I guess, because this movie - EPIC. Legit my favourite one this year.
BTW, I went with two friends and neither of them cried. AM I A WUSS... OR ARE THEY HARDHEARTED. SURELY I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE BLUBBERING AT THAT ENDING. Urgh, so amazing.
Can I just say - as I told my friends - I am SO GLAD I was past the toy-cherishing/buying stage by the time I watched the first Toy Story? This one would have convinced a younger, more impressionable me to never EVER throw my toys away, EVER, BECAUSE WHAT IF THEY GET MISTAKENLY LEFT OUT FOR TRASH, IMPRISONED IN A COMMUNIST REGIME IN A DAYCARE CENTRE, ALMOST GET GRINDED TO BITS IN A DUMPSTER AND THEN COME THIS CLOSE TO BEING BURNT ALIVE BY A GIANT RAGING INFERNO. I MEAN, REALLY, WHY WOULD I WANT TO PUT MY TOYS THROUGH ALL OF THAT. D: D: D:
I want to go back and watch the movie again, immediately. Although I've learned from my error with Toy Story 2. I adored that movie SO DAMN MUCH the first time I saw it, L and I immediately went back the day after - it was less engrossing on a second viewing following so quickly after the first. I think I'll give this one a week and go watch it in KL next weekend (where I'll be) if I need a diversion from all the lazing around I plan to do.
Basically? OOF THAT WAS GOOD MOVIE. Added to a great dinner with friends, LOTS AND LOTS OF CAPSLOCK IN MY HOUSE/CUDDY FLAIL POST OF AWESOME, brunch AND dinner etc tomorrow... later today... this weekend's looking good! :)
Except for the fact that it's now 5.11am oops. GO TO BED, SELF.
