OK, well, if you've seen the first two, you'll know what you're getting. And if you're Frayed Knot, well, you'll get what you're getting. Set about decade after Toy Story 2, installment three has Andy's toys neglected as he's grown through his teen years and is only days away from leaving for college. Like a dysfunctional family, they still derive no greater pleasure than his attention, only nobody can quite remember the last time he gave them any. They've resigned themselves to exile in the attic with the consolation that at least they'll have each other, and maybe Woody might get brought along to the dorm room for sentimental purposes. (It's a small victory that Woody seems fine with, but I ask myself, would the horrors in human development that he'll witness there be worth it?) Anyhow, arguments break out as to whether the gang should try to manipulate themselves into the box going to be donated to a local day care center, or accept the attic. When they come within a hair of being thrown in the garbage, they run for the relative sanctity of Day Care. New themes develop about growth and acceptance and family and loyalty and what's left when your faith is shaken, and it's all wonderfully rendered. The only thing I can throw out there is that a lot of the plot devices from the prior installments return, though I won't point them out because maybe you're quite dull and won't see them coming. But you know, sequels tend to take plot elements and amp them up, and any heart comes as a clumsy afterthought. This one leaves the plot elements at the same level, but starts with the heart. And in fact, you get the idea that they kept this franchise on ice for over a decade because they wouldn't bring it back until they had a meaningful reason to. Do you like gay jokes? Because, for a G-Rated movie from Didney, this film has more than a few gay jokes.

66% I feel like I'm 2/3 dead.

A cowboy, a spaceman, and a bunch of other toys that have appeared together in some other films return to the screen as they grapple with their fates and examine their core values in preparing for the child they've raised together to go off to college. Tengo mis pensamientos.

Or it's just bad luck. Or it's just that injuries tend to beget injuries. Toby Hyde is fine, but as much Havens is exhibiting the "Fernando Martinez problem," Toby's exhibiting the blogger problem. You're an outsider working with the facts that the insiders cull for you, and rather than follow up with inquiries and fact-finding of your own, so you fill in the gaps with speculation. His speculation is as reasonable as any, but who knows? Really, he didn't speak in person to the manager, so how much can he meaningfully infer from Teufel's tone?

Sounds like people on either side of the Flores question need a dose of perspective. It's like that with prospects, as you want to be quick to respond to threats and buy or sell early, if only emotionally.

I didn't mean to be smart. I'm not quite sure what the term means, though I gather it has something to do with generating force from a biomechanically unsustainable source.

Is he still "scap-loading"?

Good post. I like that "I think his bat will play in the majors right now" coupled with the dose of humility, accepting that just because you think it, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Just a freak with a goofy photo? NO! TeamLeagueWLERAGGSCGSHOSVIPHRERHRBBSOGO/AOAVGSAVSAL301.0314000126.1173305241.040.191

Jordanny still looking to get off the DL and fill the secondbase slot abandoned by Reese Havens. Problem is that fill-in secondbaseman Joshua Satin won't cool off.

I can't find any junior college stats for Damien, but I can confirm that he has unfriended me.

Joe's been sucking it big time for the Indian Bureau this year, giving up six runs in seven big league innings, and currently residing in Columbus.

I'd watch it twice a week, but I have a wife with other tastes.

Which Hernandez is higher, El Duque or El Duquecito?

No, I just meant that votes sometimes get erased when the form is edited. I liked that review and I am making a mental note here to see Here and There. So there.

I added a .5 level as well (so you might have to vote again). There's nothing like meeting a half a depressed sax player.

I ain't got the time to pluck em out, but maybe the images can be killed in one swoop.

That's just great work. Unfortunately, we knocked a bunch of image links when we pasted in the data.

There was no room for him at second in St. Lucie anyhow, and Pellot has been performing poorly for Bingo. Perfect match and a due promotion.

That.

But hardly the only.

The problem I find with action sequels is that they amp up the action beyond the level of coherence, replacing the story elements of the initial installment with adrenaline, empty calories, and multiple villians teaming up for extra marquee power. So I fear this a little bit. I'm also a little eye-rolley about Downey's Stark/Ironman being the superhero vehicle of choice for women of my age demographic to swoon to.

Robert Downey Jr. returns as semi-reformed asshole weapons manufacturer Tony Stark, donning a suit of armored weaponry to fight bad guys with grudges, crazy-assed Russsians, and the US Congresss unhappy with him keeping his asskicking technology to himself.

Are one of you Iron Man watchers going to put up a thread?

Looks like someone saw Observe and Report besides me.
