Parents all confused why the new Pixar movie is rated R, but being too lazy to bother looking into it and taking the kids anyway, just to shut them up for an evening.

A Bug's Life is like the 3rd best adaptation of The Seven Samurai.
:shock:
HOLY FUCK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
OH MY FUCKING GOD
Let's see
Magnificient Seven

It was better than Galaxy Quest
I can't think of any others off the top of my head
Hey, I've never had Galaxy Quest on my list. It totally fits.
There's an Indian one called Sholay that's pretty good. And apparently they remade that recently into a shitty version.
This and the previous posts to it made me laugh at my desk, struggling to keep quiet so as not to get caught not-working. I have a very developed part of the brain that lets you imagine things playing out and Wall-E just happily gutting a soccer mom was vivid and hilarious.
just doing it because he is curious and doesn't know any better
carefully peeling the skin away from the forehead to reveal what is underneath, then cracking open the skull to pick away at the brains beneath.
For robot science.
This whole scene takes four entire minutes. No cuts.
At the 4 minute mark it does a closeup of WallE's face and you see the body splayed-out grotesquely reflected in his eyes. If you're quick you can catch the ball from Luxo Jr. rolling through the background behind him.
This one is a bit of a stretch. I mean... there aren't any villagers in need who are rallied to help fight in the end. It's just Ahnold and one of the most bad-ass aliens known to film. Though it's true that there are a TON of movies that follow the Seven Samurai archetype.
FakeEdit: I bet you could do a very-slightly-altered version of the Wizard of Oz that is also a reinterpretation of SS. One of the things that came to mind when I thought of random ideas for Seven Samurai remakes was doing one set in Smurf Village. Man, the shit I think up when I've been on the computer too long...
I wanna see Pixar do a total 180, and put out a really fucking brutal horror flick. Like, some Funny Games shit.
Just send everybody reeling.
this would be even better if the brutal horror shit turned out to be the last fifteen minutes of Wall E
I wrote a short story in high school based around this exact premise. It was a cute little kid's story about pirate boy and his crew who sailed the high seas in search of candy. I even captured the "Little Engine That Could" voice.
The last 3 pages detailed the abrupt capture, torture, trial, and execution of Johnny Gumdrop and his Kandy Krew in gruesome, surgical, explicit Palahniuk-esque detail.
Surely you must have had a fine time at the counselor's office.
Luckily my English teacher was a young dude; he was grading the stories while we took a test, and he had to leave the room because he couldn't stop laughing.
I didn't see Cars or Rat. until they came out on the blue-rays DVD a few weeks ago.
Then I watched Rat. twice back to back, and Cars 1.5 times, the .5 with the commentary track on. Lasseter is so totally the man. Normally I hate commentary tracks but listening to Lasseter tell the stories about all the research they did, that was awesome. Plus it's more than just commentary, they show all kinds of storyboards and concept art too.

Anyway.
Ratatouille is one that needs to have been seen in the theatre, and also purchased.
I would slap the hand of anyone who dl'd that.
That deserves monetary credit.
And it made up for Cars.
By far.
Cars wasn't AWFUL. But come on. Cars? Really?

I think Ratatouille is in a death-struggle with Finding Nemo for the best Pixar movie ever.
I personally like The Incredibles better, because I have a raging hard-on for superheroes, and lack a similar sentiment toward rats and cooking.

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

So, the rat movie... I remember how it was: "Oh, CARS IS COMING! Great next PIXAR FILM!" This was heard across the Internet and "society". Then the rat movie came and it barely made a blurp on my radar.
What happened? I've seen Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Finding Nemo.
Tow Mater was my least favorite character.
The car talk guys and the italian pit stop guys were great though.
And the sheriff.
The main character/car was just a dick. Ok yeah he learns humility and blah blahblah... who cares.

I love Owen Wilson.
Actually I think I just love any actor who just plays themselves, playing a character.
Like Christopher Walken.

Look, Larry the Cable Guy has some funny jokes sometimes.
Larry the Cable Guy is only tolerable when I remember that it's all an act and he's not actually a stupid, inbred redneck. He's a character created by someone who knew he could get money from the stupid, inbred redneck market. He picks off what Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White can't get because they're too high-brow.

thank you
I made a Johnny Five joke on the first page and no one acknowledged it.

Damn, it's going to be right on the heels of the World's Finest movie. I guess 2010 is the year of the team-ups and crossovers.

Thanks guys. You were dead on. Great movie. Awesome in fact.
I wasnt sure about it before reading this thread. So glad I saw it.
I dunno, the kid in the Yoshio Inaba role was alright. Okay, okay, you're right.

I still made fun of Captain No-arms.
I'm only a man.
Predator is an adaptation of Beowulf.
Neil Gaiman's writing really improved it

Fuck you, kid.
If I see that movie I'll probably seep into a deep depression and not see the half hour mark.

You have to admit it was a sound plan.
It had Larry the Cable Guy. How could it have possibly have failed?!
