I guess when you take the past participle of a verb in one language and you add the past participle ending of another, you're not going to make it look good any way.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-13582678839371715112010-08-20T08:28:47.182-07:002010-08-20T08:28:47.182-07:00When you there 'pon the scene,

I agree that this is a second-tier Pixar effort (The three Toy Story Movies, the Incredibles, and Wall-E are the ones I'd put at the top). One of my favorite things about the Pixar movies is, although they're computer-animation, they don't draw attention to their computer-generatedness by the usual amateurish look and sterile, mechanical sheen. Indeed, they're so good and spectacular at the technical stuff that I find myself forgetting that I'm watching animation altogether, and just watching the movie.DrSchnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428753570121627382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-89378441082979460872010-08-20T07:12:46.878-07:002010-08-20T07:12:46.878-07:00Dug: I live for the inane comments!

Then again I might not have known it either if I didn't have a younger co-worker in 1988 that played that tape on the boombox. She also liked Scratch Acid so the UB40 sounded pretty good by comparison.Dughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787505045121628368noreply@blogger.com
