Sorry again for my lack of posts lately. I've been involved in two simultaneous pitches at work.
Now, there are three good things in June every year, 1, apple always make their signature product of the year. 2, Pixar always release their new feature. And 3, there usually is a cake prepared for me.
I know this is practically a month old, but UP was so good that I just need to give it some mention. After Wall-E, I just couldn't wait to watch UP. I have to admit that I tend to watch a lot of things involving levitation. UP is definitely the biggest emotional roller coaster Pixar has ever created, there were so many tender moments as well as funny parts. I can't really describe how good it is except to admit to you that me and some friends all shed tears and laughed really hard in those 90 minutes. In fact, it was so good that I had to watched it again, its a bit embarrassing to admit, having not cried in a movie theater in 20 some odd years, there I was, getting really really choked up with this movie, it's just that good, they really knew which button to press I guess.
Partly Cloudy, a short about being loyal to friends.
Watching it twice did have it's benefit though, I forgot the little smart ass marketing scheme by Pixar to launch their animated short before the main feature only couple weeks after the release, just to get people to go back. The short was called Partly Cloudy, and of course, it was the best ever.
Pixar is really good with playing up these genuine qualities of a child, how we used to love things with all our hearts, being as loyal as ever to friends, brave, curious, and forgetful.
I strongly recommend it.
It looks and sounds wonderful, I can't wait to see it!
