Had work orientation this morning and I have to say that while I appreciate MSU's commitment to creating a safe work environment I think the 12 minute video on ladder safety was a bit over the top.

I'll say. How could someone talk for 12 minutes about how to properly use a ladder?

What not to do on a ladder:
-Feed your snail
-Make a sandwich
-Light candles
-Drink water
-Call your friend
-Karate chop the TV
-Shoot the breeze with the mailman

This is going to be QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT

To his credit, Lasseter's been involved to some extent with practically everything at Pixar, including directing the first two Toy Stories. I haven't seen Cars 2 yet, though, so I can't judge that, but I can say that Planes looks entirely unnecessary- when I first saw the trailer I assumed it was somebody making fun of Pixar for putting so many sequels into production all of a sudden.

Nice spongebob reference. So they are making a movie called planes?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:36 pm

Considering Cars was the worst Pixar movie until they made the significantly inferior Cars II, I'm concerned. They should let this franchise die before it even further destroys the reputation of Pixar.

Randomextra · Post by **Randomextra** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:48 pm

I never saw cars 2. It was that bad?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:52 pm

I haven't either but I hear it was significantly worse than Pixar's other wonderful movies.

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Mon May 21, 2012 5:53 pm

It wasn't that bad, but it certainly wasn't great, either.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon May 21, 2012 6:07 pm

I personally liked Cars, but never saw the second movie.

But I do have to say, it didn't look as good as the first one based off of the advertisements I saw for it.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:08 pm

I was forced to watch the first Cars movie. It was terrible.
I can only imagine how bad Cars 2 would be.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:18 pm

Alls you need to know about Cars 2 is this, its Cars, mixed with a bad spy movie, international travel, and things that make no sense. Also, it is a waste of good voice actors.

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:19 pm

In other words, don't watch it. Especially if you didn't like the first one.

MapleRatty · Post by **MapleRatty** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:29 pm

I personally liked, then again Im a sucker for spy movies. Who liked the spy next door.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:39 pm

I will admit, my opinion of Cars 2 is probably incredibly bias, because of 2 reasons, 1. the first movie was, um, okay. And 2. Pixar has made GREATNESS before, like Wall-E and the Toy Story movies (best trilogy ever) so, granted, its probably more okay than anything, but I am disappointed in Pixar. Also, Lary the Cable Guy is only sort of funny, and what Otaku said, I'm a sucker for spy movies, only reason I saw it.

ALSO! New James Bond movie out soon, I really hope its good, because I liked the other two, though I heard a lot of people complain about Quantum Of Solice.

I liked Johnny English does that count

who's Johnny English?

also it's rilly hot at my house

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:52 pm

I wouldn't hate Cars 2 at all if it just were below the admittedly hard to achieve high standard of their other films, but this wasn't in relation to a narrow set bad rather than in relation to the mainstream bad. Dreamworks bad. Soulless and stupid, not worthy to waste Pixar's hard-working staff on.

MapleRatty · Post by **MapleRatty** » Mon May 21, 2012 7:57 pm

thats hardcore(and rather harsh) critiqueing right there!

Johnny English is a parody of James Bond played by Rowan Atkinson.

Its honest, and true man, I mean, Pixar treats kids like they are smart and it is sort of a "Hey kids, stay away from that crap, here, have an interesting, well thought out, and engaging movie." Cars 2, is just, mediocre, and thats really sad when compared to their other movies.

I know Dreamworks get a lot of flak for various reasons (many of them valid), but I'd be hesitant to designate an entire level of bad-itude to their name. They've put out some great movies over the years.

Eating yoghurt one day past the expiration date, getting worked up over a children's movie and in '07 I even took two stairs at once.

I think "dreamworks bad" means that it would have even been bad for Dreamworks, not that it was so bad that it was on par with Dreamworks movies. Pixar bad is Dreamworks good, but Cars 2 was Dreamworks bad.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon May 21, 2012 8:50 pm

Man every little movement Rowan atkinson made was hillarious he is a funny guy.

Also I BELIEVE Johnny English was a remake of an older movie that stared someone else.

uh... you do relize that yogurt like that can give you horrible bacteria right..

Also, my uncle .. is in a mental asylum, and I may or may not be responsible.

It'd be best not to eat expired yoghurt.

Expired milk is chunky, blech...
I don't know if cheese can expire though...

If you do not have anything to say, you are not required to post. That is the beauty of a Web forum. This is the chat thread, so if you would like to try starting a new subject, you are also more than welcome to do that!

Maybe we could talk about who would be the next Global Mod if one was to retire?

Kinda depends on who left. I think I could be one, though.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon May 21, 2012 9:54 pm

I'm thinking it would be Brent, because he seems to be the most active member with 20 posts a day and he is active in all 4 major sections of the forum.

Post by **Dissension** » Mon May 21, 2012 9:57 pm

Alternately, Dylan or Buck could come back.
