I mean to say, how about when the bullies retire to their hideaway ... in Mexico?!? Cracked me up.<br /><br />I actually always forget about A Bug's Life being Pixar but I would rank it above Cars II and ... I'm sorry to say ... Up. Up was fine and had many good themes but it had significant problems for me.<br /><br />Hannah told me that Blink is the episode everyone uses to convert people into Who-vians. I've been looking forward to it!Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08384291674560438678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-16126249199360279402013-06-14T04:57:00.825-05:002013-06-14T04:57:00.825-05:00I don't remember that at all about A Bug's...I don't remember that at all about A Bug's Life.

They're basically the same thing except with circus bugs instead of trained professionals. <br /><br />Dr. Who is on Netflix streaming except possibly the most recent season.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230436763763933779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-81002887806552004742013-06-13T15:24:20.709-05:002013-06-13T15:24:20.709-05:00That is the most awesome Dalek line you will see i...That is the most awesome Dalek line you will see in the show, but the best episodes are yet to come. "Blink" is usually the episode we show people to get them hooked on the new Doctor Who. It's in the middle of the next series, so you will see it soon!<br /><br />As for Cars 2 being the worst Pixar movie, I have to weigh in to defend it. Think of A Bug's Life...Can you name any of the characters? Describe the plot? I can't. I know I saw the film but I judge it completely forgettable by the fact that I have completely forgotten it. Cars and Cars 2 have paint-by-number plots, but at least there's some wit and creativity in the execution. The "Mater as a dumb yokel" gag gets pretty tired in Cars 2 but the movie has other fine qualities (including Bruce Campbell as the American spy car for whom Mater is mistaken).<br /><br />I'll have to pay attention the next time the kids watch Cars 2 so I spot the popemobile. I missed it too!Joseph R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13747631029262485742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-79905303067243551982013-06-13T08:19:17.620-05:002013-06-13T08:19:17.620-05:00Also, it just occurred to me ... it is streaming f...Also, it just occurred to me ... it is streaming free on Amazon Prime, but not on Netflix?

I thought it was a fun spy flick, with excellent music, and the popemobile IN a popemobile. Good enough for me.<br /><br />I had to skip the Doctor Who review, I have to wait to see it until it comes on Netflix!Kendra Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212829372556908004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-69462850223040594272013-06-12T22:22:38.537-05:002013-06-12T22:22:38.537-05:00OK, so Cars 2 wasn't Pixar's best.

Although worst in their case is rather relative when compared to what passes for family entertainment by other animation studios. Pixar proves you can do family animation with no references to fart jokes.<br /><br />As for "Attack the Block" I recently watched it myself and was also pleasantly surprised.Jeff Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892529674664589034noreply@blogger.com
