The Incredibles rates as one of the very best films I’ve ever seen. Really amazed at the Ayn Rand-like message behind Brad Bird’s two Pixar films, i.e., “get out of the way of the super-people.” Very un-Disney-like…and because of that, very appealing.

Regarding Wall-E, what can I say…I was bored out of my mind. Not during the first 15 minutes, which I loved, but everything after Eve showed up, and especially the stuff on the starship.

Haven’t seen “Up” yet, and probably won’t for a week or two. I’m kind of a Pixar contrarian, so I’m very curious to find out what I think about it.

Regarding the shorts:
1. Luxo Jr.
2. Boundin’
3. Presto
4. Jack-Jack Attack

Unless I’ve forgotten one, I literally hated every other short. For me at least, Pixar’s overall record for shorts has been depressingly poor.

Seriously, I don’t know if I could rank them. I’m just excited to be able to watch them with Lily for the first time. I think she’s only seen Ratatouille.

I also think that Ratatouille had my favorite climactic scene. Who doesn’t remember being swept back to childhood with a bite of food? Seeing the cold, hard critic melt is my favorite scene in any Pixar movie.

OMG, that’s my favorite. That movie makes me want to push away from my desk and forget I ever had to deal with the Internet.
