“I don’t care about Toy Story.” Seriously, Gabe? The ‘Toy Story’ films are 2 of the most critically acclaimed & popularly adored films of the last 15 years, if not all time. At the least, ‘Toy Story’ is notable for being the first full-length computer animated feature. However, unlike other technological landmarks (‘Tron’ and ‘Avatar’ quickly come to mind), ‘Toy Story’ & its sequel featured complex characters & a cleverly-written, original, & emotionally mature storyline — in regards to the latter, I mean the films challenge both children & adults alike to consider their own dealings with pride, self-worth, aging, & friendship, couched in a compelling storyline peppered with well-executed humor. As you undoubtedly know more about film than I do, I implore you to please reconsider the ‘Toy Story’ films & not gloss over them as standard children’s fare.

…In short, can ‘Toy Story 3′ be this weekend’s Videogum Movie Club entry? Please, anything but ‘Jonah Hex.’

Seriously, forget Topher Grace. What I really wanna know is, What’s Up with Norm Macdonald?

Couldn’t we make more money if all the actors in Hollywood who have big shiny mansions sell their big shiny mansions (I don’t think Sarah Silverman has one of these, so this isn’t about her)? Or, better yet, how about ALL of those who own big shiny mansions tear them down, sell & recycle the scrap materials, move into more humble abodes, and use their excess wealth to feed the poor? Instead of, you know, selling a building w/ major historical & cultural significance that houses tons of offices & already makes major contributions to aid & relief services throughout the world.

All that being said, maybe she just made this vid to piss off Jimmy Kimmel (raised Catholic).

My bad; i just watched the video again and he is being constantly pulled back.

On a semi-related note, can we please discuss the other mind-bending movie Zach Galifianakis
is going to be in this year?

The cast also includes WIll Arnett and the voices of Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, and….Tracy Morgan. The production is questionable at best with the combined forces of Disney-sans-Pixar and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the writing team’s credits include such (not) greats as National Treasure, The Shaggy Dog remake, and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Canl Zach, Will, Tracy, and Steve (I know, odd one out, but I like Steve Buscemi’s work) pull this one from the muck and mire?

I can’t decide if this is a happy day or a sad day for American Irish-Catholics…
