What's on your mind? (Status Updates)

While I’m 70% pleased with the new Cars 2 trailer, I really wished that:

  1. They included more footage of the new characters, instead of focusing on Mater for more than half the screentime.

  2. They used a better background music. The teaser’s use of Bitter:Sweet’s Trouble and the first trailer’s use of the Vantage Point main theme remain the best examples so far.

  3. The editing wasn’t so haphazard and ‘chopping back and forth’. Compare this with Wall-E and Ratatouille’s trailers and see how manic the cuts are in this one.

  4. They included more intense and thrilling footage. It’s great that we get to see more action scenes, and I particularly love what looks to be the movie’s climax sequence hinted at just before the title card. But less ‘Materhosen’ and falling into septic trucks, please.

But all in all, great effort by Pixar, and I just hope the movie will impress me more than their trailers did. If it’s any consolation, they didn’t include the annoying bidet joke this time! :slight_smile:

Hahaha, Pixar awards you, how awesome is that!

C’mon baby. Finals, bring it on! I’ll take ya all on.

EJE: Jesus… I mean, Pixar loves you! :slight_smile:

TSS: I can’t wait for assignments to be over man. I gotta start job-hunting.

Right now I’m thinking of my promise to meet my friends to go out to the city today, but I’m so wasted after yesterday’s assignment that I’d rather spend time here writing on a fan forum.

I feel like that sometimes too. Just laying around at home on the computer, especially after work!


I’m defintely going to be on PP less for the next couple weeks. I have 4 finals, a speech, a presentation, and a test. The joys of college.

I’m starting to see some Cars 2 advertising…This means my parents are going to start quoting Cars again. :frowning:

I am too Grace, it’s so exciting!! I remember last week the first time I saw a bit of advertising. I made my mom flip back and rewatch the commercial a coupla times :smiley:


Guys my grandmom just had a stroke and I could really use some prayers.  This is so scary

Today was my little sister’s Future Farmers of America banquet. She was an officer this year, so she helped prepare it and run it.

She was re-elected as Reporter, her second year as that officer (when I was in High School, I was the FFA President). She also got her Chapter Degree.

My Dad was also honored with the Honorary FFA Chapter Degree, for his time and dedication to the Chapter, such as helping teach the school’s Plant and Soil Science class how to prune our school’s grapevines.

We had a little party with my papaw at a river and had a cook out today. It was nice, even if the river rocks attacked me.

I’m sorry they attacked you, Virginia :slight_smile: Darn those rocks!

My brother’s running in the regional track meet today in CYO, and he’s really good, but I haven’t actually seen him run yet so I’m gonna go later to watch. I hope he does well! He made it to cities last year, but I hope he can get farther!

Thanks. I’m bruised and have lots of scratches, but I feel better now. Hope your brother does well at his meet! :smiley:

Just looking at random new and classic Disney dolls online. <3

Sounds fun! I adore browsing through merch of things I love…even if that normally means I can’t have any of it… 8D

EXACTLY. I very much desire Atlantis, Hunchback, Hercules, Tarzan, etc. non Princess movie dolls, and they are so expensive. :cry:

I’m watching the Season Finale of Survivor.

During it there was Breaking News at the bottom of the screen saying there’s a car accident on the Golden Gate Bridge, and all traffic is clowed. It must be really bad if it inturrupted the TV show I’m watching!

Goin’ to Legoland today guys :slight_smile: ! See ya!

Nothing really… :unamused:

I’m tired and stressed out and my attempts to get myself into a better mood are failing. :frowning:

-hugs K9Girl-

Just finished my last final, today, yet I’m still feeling tense about it, especially since I can’t learn my grade for even part of it until later. Not something you’d expect for an online exam. :confused:

I’m going to try and study for mine tonight.
