That's just how Holly Hunter talks.
― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Monday, 18 June 2018 20:38 (five years ago) link
She has been appearing in successful, internationally-distributed films for 30 years, and also played "adult Elasti-Girl" in The Incredibles.

Ha, I thought he was talking about Sarah Vowell, who has one of the most famous funny-sounding/annoying voices.

Was it a joke someone made here? Anyway. Someone noted that Holly Hunter's two most famous roles are now for one where she appears and does not talk and one where she talks but does not appear.

I didn't love the first Incredibles, but I'm tentatively excited about this one because - is this the first Pixar movie in 10 years that won't make me bawl like a shithead?
I fucking love a good cry but Pixar movies make me nervous now because I'm always waiting for *that* scene
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 18 June 2018 21:05 (five years ago) link
Not including Cars because I don't count them in my Pixar mind-canon
I sincerely hope this one does not make you cry. It's totally goofy.

You will cry tears of laughter.

Tears of indifference.
Tears of remonstration.

At least Toy story had a shining reference

Does the first movie have as many obvious '60s signifiers as the sequel does? My memory of it placed it as contemporary.
― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 20:42 (five years ago) link
Yeah, a slew of 'em.

So this was the Cineworld's secret screening number 8 (most of the theatre cheered, I was just happy as it could have been a lot worse) and ya silby the nominative determinism ruined this a little on watching. Still I laughed a fair few times.Didn't really think anyone needed the Guy Fierri biog that was Bao.

Man! I thought this to the point where I convinced myself she was actually the model for the character. Even the mannerisms seemed v awkward Stewart-esque.

Voyd's a good character with a good haircut

she didn't look or act anything like kristen stewart, people just make shit up

just like how anthony lane’s review of this sounds like he woke up from a sex nightmare
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 22:44 (five years ago) link
this is off topic but how the hell did Anthony Lane get his job
― valorous wokelord (silby), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 22:57 (five years ago) link
That makes me want to read his review (and then hate myself for doing so). xp

prescient post
OTM. Has Anthony Lane weighted in yet?― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, November 10, 2004

I think Lane is funny, though I frequently get the sense that the jokes come before the review.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 20 June 2018 23:12 (five years ago) link
there's a whole separate department in the New Yorker for jokes
― valorous wokelord (silby), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link
That review is just Lane being Lane - I don't get the tizz at all. It's just basic seaside smut.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 20 June 2018 23:37 (five years ago) link
true i guess he is always exactly that bad
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 23:42 (five years ago) link
i've read worse erotic incredibles fanfiction, but i'm not sure the new yorker is the proper venue for it
― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 June 2018 00:30 (five years ago) link
Finally looked up the hubbub, and ... don't care. But it did ring a bell that Lane sexualized her in his review of the first movie as well:
Years ago, Bob and Helen Parr were superheroes—Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl. He was mostly knuckles and chin, whereas she was as limber as it is possible to be without consulting the Kama Sutra.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 21 June 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
Wow the Kama Sutra what a quip “Anthony Lane”
