Originally Posted By Scottydem I REALLY must disagree. Up, at first, was decent. Better than The Incredibles (my Pixar dud), but not that much higher. But I feel compelled to defend the movie. Up was not even close to a PG-13. You are just too uptight to even mention the violence. Have you seen The Incredibles? A Bug's Life when hoppers throwing around Dot? Finding Nemo when Dory draws blood? I mean, really, don't be so whiny about cartoon "violence." Anywho, Up was amazingly heart-warming in every sense of the word. The beginning is a REAL tear-jerker, and as the movie progresses it get's easier and easier to cope with. It really hit home with me because a relative recently passed, and my family celebrated her life. We would do things that we think they would want to do. I feel Up really highlights that emotional factor. Up really was a great movie, and after defending it so much I can only realize it was such a great movie. I'd let any child who can sit in a seat for 2 hours watch it, it's just that good. It ranks with Monster's and Wall-E in my book. A sort of 4th best Pixar film for me. Can't wait for Blu Ray release! Up is a movie for people of all ages! Go see it (especially if 3D is at your theater)!!!

Originally Posted By Sara Tonin Okay, I know this is a sidetrack, but...what's the deal with grape soda...NOBODY makes a sugar free grape soda...they have diet orange crush and sunkist makes a diet orange...I want grape! It reminds me of my grandma-she always had Bubble-up and grape Nehi in her refrigerator...
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Oy...I need Muntz Merch!

MUNTZ -Cane, net and Balloon House F; if shotgun is allowed, then put net in the Dog Three-Pack The 6 House pieces form to make one Balloon House And then we can have the Balloon House and Muntz Zeppelin action playsets; Both open up to reveal secret rooms, trapdoors, laser cannons, elevators and Barbie Ferrari, er, shaved ice maker. Figures sold separately. By Mattel.
Originally Posted By ecdc It's one thing to criticize Up, but to attack the Goonies!?! Is nothing sacred? Actually, I can see being driven crazy by it as an adult. I grew up with it, and love it to this day. My kids love it too. It's in the tradition of those old Wonderful World of Disney shows with treasure hunting and escaping the bad guys. Good times.

Originally Posted By ecdc >>I didn't know the true meaning of the Pirate's nickname until my mid-40's. Now THAT'S being sheltered!<< I never picked up on it until a few years ago, myself. I wasn't sheltered, but you hear the name so many times you miss the double entendre.

I mean those chicks are the CUTEST THING IN THE MOVIE...
