    Why do you deem women as lesser beings than men?

    I wouldn't do that. That would make me sexist. I never did that.

    I just pity them for having a much harder lot in life than me, a smart man. It's not that they don't b*tch about it all the time themselves, if you haven't noticed?

    Women have no set place. They're just as qualified as men. I'd love for you to say this in front of my friend. She's an extreme feminist and would probably slap you across the face.

    Why would I talk to - or even be in the same room with - a feminist (moreover, extreme) in the first place?

    I have no interest whatsoever in such creatures. I've heard they exist, though.

    Where I'm from, Iceroll, men are real men and women know their place.

    Emasculated "vaginas", Noctis, inhabit a more North American location, play with toys and superheroes all their lives and have females like fishnets b*tch at them incessantly, from birth till divorce.

    I cried at the final scene in Brave, of course.

    And I'm a big, hairy curmudgeon, the size and attitude of a heavy-weight wrestler, who normally thinks of women as of poor things of lesser luck in life.

    And still it gets me every time (I saw it 4 times in cinema in a week).

    Up? Wall-e? Toy Story 3? Couldn't wait for it to finish, went straight home, feeling bored and betrayed, swearing at Pixar. Nemo never involved me either. It's just a fish, if you haven't noticed. Monsters Inc. got me though.

    Finally something worth seeing (multiple times) on the big screen - after the splendid Ratatouille, of course. Finally something different. Wish they could make more period movies instead of churning out lesser sequels to wacky tales that weren't special even the first time around.

    Oh, and just to give a perspective:

    The Good old days:

    1. Toy Story: Fresh for its time

    2. A Bug's Life: Nice fantasy adventure

    3. Toy Story 2: Somehow redundant, but still good

    4. Monsters, Inc.: Quite funny and gripping

    The Overrated middle years:

    5. Finding Nemo: Nothing special, fish are boring

    6. The Incredibles: Nice characterization, but superheroes are extremely cliche

    7. Cars: Very bad idea from the start, bad Pixar, bad!

    The Quest for originality:

    8. Ratatouille: Brilliant, beautiful, funny

    Which soon turns wrong:

    9. Wall-E: Boring and pointless

    10. Up: flawed; ONE good idea can NOT support a whole movie

    So Pixar spits on its name and turns to shameless sequels:

    11. Toy Story 3: Totally redundant and repetitive

    12. Cars 2: This is NOT Pixar, I've never seen such a sell-out, Straight-to-DVD

    A return to beauty - in story and form - hope it won't be short lived like Ratatouille was:

    13. Brave: beautiful, funny, touching, meaningful

    But it probably will be drowned again by shameless sequels:

    14. Monsters, Inc. (2013), Finding Nemo 2 (2016)

    Hope at least the dinosaur movie is good...

    15. The Good Dinosaur (2014), Inside the Mind (2015), Día de los Muertos(2017)

    Its story and villain were way off - and it didn't have enough of the genuine laughs of other Aardmans to save it. Arthur Christmas was much better, even Flushed Away was better. As I said, 50% tops, but critics are still Aardman's bitchiz.
