Yeah, but that one was pretty good, doncha think? And it came down solidly for laughter over fear.vince wrote:I felt "Monsters, Inc" was more 'in tune' with the hyper-fear in America than "A Bug's Life" anyway.
I think it was released only a few weeks after 9/11, too.

Mrs. French: Pardon me, sir. Have you seen my cat? It's missing.
Hugh Manatee Wins: Mrs. French's cat is missing. The signs are posted all over town. "Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters, but nobody has seen Honey the cat. Nobody.
Until last Thursday morning, when Miss Collette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat as she drove across a bridge. Well this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure and even has its own fancy name; Pont de Flaque.
Now Collette, that sounds like Culotte. That's Panty in French. And Piscine means Pool. Panty pool. Flaque also means pool in French, so Collete Piscine, in French Panty Pool, drives over the Pont de Flaque, the Pont de Pool if you will, to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat that has been missing in Pontypool.
Pontypool. Pont de Pool. Panty pool. Pont de Flaque.
What does it mean?
http://www.pixartalk.com/2011/01/Don’t expect more of the same from the sequel to Pixar’s 2006 hit Cars. “It’s a totally different genre,” says director John Lasseter. The genre in question: Spy Thriller.
While Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) competes in the World Grand Prix -- with races in Tokyo, in London, and on the Italian Riviera -- his tow-truck companion, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), gets mistaken for an American spy and soon realizes that the fate of the world rests in his hands..er wheels.
“It’s not a send-up,” Lasseter promises, “but an original spy movie that just happens to have cars as its characters.”
One aspect of Cars2 sure to raise eyebrows is the odd subplot where Lightning and Mater take the hallucinogen "STP" through their intake manifolds and trip through the streets of Tokyo, only to end up floating over a hotel room while Sally gets, shall we say, "armor-all-ous" with an Isuzu Trooper.
While some might question whether this is appropriate viewing for kids, there is no denying the innovative nature of this transgressive transmission of a montage.
Ha! So Steven Speilberg and Dreamworks did 9-11. Well solved!JackRiddler wrote:
In fact, a search test of "Princess Atta" versus "Mohamed Atta" suggests that 9/11 was conducted as a keyword-hijacking operation to prevent a revival of interest in the forgettable Pixar movie "A Bug's Life."

Well Orz, if you DARE question whether the towers were packed with super duper thermite Acme bomb cutter charges; you're not just a heretic to "the truth"(tm) but you're a paid spook!orz wrote:if?8bitagent wrote:It'd be kind of funny if WTC7 and the towers weren't brought down with bombs, or 'cutter charges" or whatever.

Well I don't know if it's really ironic or particularly funny, tragicomic maybe...
I got that too. Especially the whole swarm of yellow suited bio-contaminint guys. And then for RI folks, the whole "Eating of children's screams"vince wrote:I felt "Monsters, Inc" was more 'in tune' with the hyper-fear in America than "A Bug's Life" anyway.
