I got the same impression about Swiss Miss. And except for the wings the Green Goblin reminds me of the ads for Sea Monkeys that used to be in comic books.
I don't know if I can take watching Green Lantern.... I keep seeing the lead as Will Farrell, just a bit more handsome and macho. Same idiot child role and similar face, though.
Maybe gasoline was the equivalent of discovering vaccines and other life-saving technology? Primitive Cars could have been like mayflies; "born" with only enough fuel to zoom around a while, mate, and die.
I hate those damn cars. They creep the hell out of me. And why did they think it was a good idea to make a sequel to the movie that people in general thought was their worst?
That Green Goblin, on the other hand, is hilarious. He looks like an escapee from Disney's Gargoyles.
I see the nonsensical nature of the Cars world; it's completely at odds with the philosophy behind, say, Monsters Inc., where they put a lot of effort into making the monster world function coherently. Well, its day length makes no sense, but I'll let that slide. However, I like Aaron's suggestion that Cars takes place on Cybertron.
Did anyone have the patience to watch the DVD extras for Cars? One scene they storyboarded has Lightning McQueen leave the road, and then crash into a forest... where the trees grow through rusting car bodies. He enters an open graveyard full of decomposing corpses. At least they never rendered it, but what were they thinking when they wrote it

That graveyard scene is probably the closest thing my nephews have come to the experience I had seeing the Tomb of the Autobots in the old "Transformers" cartoon.
My favorite thing about the Rodimus Prime era was that you had a giant severed head orbiting Cybertron. I was kind of strange as a kid, I think...
Hollywood is cribbing from FFN?

All we need now is proof Spidey will be in black tights and Stan Lee is doing a number on power and responsibility, and we'll all need Prozac. Thanks a lot for giving people ideas, Nelson.

Maybe? It's the only thing I can think of that makes even a little sense.
Very, very little. Very. But more than anything else...

In either case, the Cars universe is a weird one, and one that I can't pass the suspension of disbelief. Which says a lot coming from a fur.

Ever notice how quickly this stuff turns dark? :)
