It’s not just a cliché, but also makes kind of sense.

Axelrod wasn’t going to expose himself until the last second possible.

#902

Yeah, but it still felt pretty predictable since I knew it was going to happen.

#903

Yes, of course, but if something is natural, being predictable isn’t a flaw.

If I trow a glass to the floor, you can predict it’s going to break. It’s not a cliché, it’s simple what is normal.

I think the bomb instance would be a cliché if it’s the hero the one who’s deactivating it and he succeeds in the last second. But in this case there was an actual reasoning behind.

#904

I have to agree^^.

#905

“Have a good day, Sir Axlerod :slight_smile:” <----- Hahahahaha, I loved that. 8D

Agreed. It’s sort of interesting how this time, the villain is basically the one to rat himself out.

I agree the situation wasn’t as cliché as I’ve seen it done previously, the villain did in fact expose himself. In most movies the hero somehow magically disarms the bomb himself :neutral_face: [/size]

#907

I’m going to agree with that. At least it wasn’t Mater who ratted Axlerod out.

#908

That’s a very good way of analyzing it, SoA.

#909

What do you guys think of Cars 2 not getting nominated.

#910

I loved Cars 2, so I’m somewhat bummed it didn’t get any nominations. But I know a lot of people didn’t like it, so I’m not surprised that it wasn’t nominated.

#911

It was expected, I’m not surprised at all.

#912

I’m not really surprised either. Oh well, it got a Golden Globe nomination :slight_smile:

#913

I’m not surprised that it wasn’t nominated.

#914

Not surprised. The film was definitely a disappointment on Pixar standards.

#915

I’m kinda glad Cars 2 didn’t get nominated. It will be a little change for the Awards.

#916

Wrote an article about my reaction here: adventuresinhypergraphia.blogspo … oscar.html

Take a look! I assure you it’s not a whiny mess. :smiley:

#917

Meh, I really didn’t like cars 2 that much anyway. With that said I’m not surprised it got shut out. At least this will allow the oscars to be a lot less predictable.

#918

Exactly. It would feel alot fresher to see another animation studio win Best Animated Feature instead of Pixar winning year after year. It would become pretty stale quickly.

#919

I really enjoyed reading that.

#920

I don’t think Nick has ever won Best Animated Picture because they don’t make the best movies.
