I just saw The Incredibles and it was very good!

First one isn't fully fleshed objectivism, though, as it characterizes private corporations as inclined to evil (Syndrome, Bob's insurance company) and the government as sympathetic (the G-man who's a decent guy just doing his job). That said, I can buy that Bird probably has inchoate views that veer toward social Darwinism.

It's not about them being coherent Randians, just having general shitty instincts

Lisp of adult elastic girl was so grating

can't tell if that is a joke or not.

Not

That's just how Holly Hunter talks.

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

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.

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

this is off topic but how the hell did Anthony Lane get his job

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?

I think Lane is funny, though I frequently get the sense that the jokes come before the review.

there's a whole separate department in the New Yorker for jokes

That review is just Lane being Lane - I don't get the tizz at all. It's just basic seaside smut.

true i guess he is always exactly that bad

i've read worse erotic incredibles fanfiction, but i'm not sure the new yorker is the proper venue for it

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.

Wow the Kama Sutra what a quip “Anthony Lane”

Loved this: http://joshholtsclaw.com/blog/2018/3/5/the-graphic-art-of-incredibles-2

when Screen Slaver had their jump scare reveal, someone in the theatre got so scared they ripped a fart and the entire audience started laughing. ruined the moment a lil.

something something fascism Rand

that’s what happens when you eat beans

everybody farts, which is just another way of saying nobody does
