A full 15 years since it lept onto cinema screens as the first feature-length 3D computer animated movie, Toy Story has once again drifted from the workshops of Pixar. This time it’s Toy Story 3, the final piece of the trilogy. Normally I’m cautious of sequels and especially of trilogies, so I’d avoided reviews for this one.
I was pleasantly surprised. Far from being a technical showcase of modern 3D animation wrapped around a half-hearted attempt at a story, this is genuinely awesome. It’s so good that by all accounts it has joined the hallowed halls of films which are allowed to make grown men break down into sobbing wrecks. Even I, who survived the ending of WALL-E with only a slight dampness in my eyes was having to physically prevent myself from sobbing.
Go see it.
This has been bugging me for ages. Many, many, many thanks to Ivan!
Apparently bonuses totalling £773,000 is “in effect a pay cut” because it’s fewer bonuses than last year.
I’m sorry, but a bonus is paid for a reason. Why should these people expect a bonus as a matter of course whilst everybody else is stuck with pay freezes?
The BBC want to know if typefaces actually matter, or if we can really go about writing everything in Comic Sans.
Of course typefaces matter! Yes, some people may be overly obsessed with kerning, but they are doing their job in making sure that the text is as readable as possible. Would you ask if electrical safety mattered because some electricians are obsessed with making sure the wires go to the right place?
