Inside Out

[ShyViolet]

Very happy to hear about Inside Out's warm reception! (Although it does kind of pour salt on DWA's wounds. )

But in general really happy that Disney is doing so well now.

So stoked! This is as close to independent movie art as you can get in a mainstream animated film. (Incredibles was the last time Pixar came that close.)

I'm picturing pouring salt on Turbo, which is just as appropriate an image.

Well, it's a Pete Docter film, so...

And it's a Pixar film, and the Oscars have talked about going back to five deserving Best Picture nominees after last year's Birdman vs. Boyhood disaster...

There was a disaster?

[EricJ]

There was a disaster?

There was a debate over just why this year's Oscar ceremony was the most disastrously low-rated in years:
Of course, the knee-jerk "It's too long, we need an edgier host, no Sound of Music numbers, etc." folks spoke up without having seen it, but the chairman did go on record in a statement a few weeks later as saying they are "seriously considering the possibility" of reducing the Best Picture nominees back to five for the '16 awards.

...You KNOW why.

Looks like I'll be going to the insider event after all. Canada is getting screenings too, and my cousin wants to go. He happens to be a newspaper film critic based in Ottawa, and is here my hometown for the week. Ticket price was $23 each, not bad for a special screening event, plus goodies.

So, I guess I'll be seeing this on Tuesday!

I'll be going on Tuesday as well. This is going to be exciting!
