I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel actually sued Pixar for knocking off hero powers. Considerng they are sueing the video game company for that Heros game.

That is a funny article, but you can bet sooner or later Pixar is going to make a bad film and hit a slump. The old saying "that the sun doesn''t shine on the same dog's a** all the time" applies to anything and everything.

There was once a time nobody thought Disney could make anything less than a great film. Sooner or later, and sooner judging by the "Cars" trailer, they're going to turn out a clunker.

A "clunker" for Pixar is when a movie only makes $150 million.

Disney dispelled that notion with Pinocchio, which was a critical and box-office dissapointment at the time.

I know. But it's still a dupe thread.

I don't know. My money would be on a little movie called Rattatoulle.

"Cars" doesn't look that impressive, but if it plays to the NASCAR crowd, it could very well be money in the bank, just not as critically acclaimed as the others.

I would say that about 1 out 20 movies are any good from Hollywood.

George Lucas, Pixar and Dreamworks have showed mainstream Hollywood that it needs to change. They keep pumping out trash so it can make money over the long haul of the movie - Theater, DVD, Payper View, Broadcast TV, Worldwide Sales...

Out the hundreds of movies this year, how many would you say were great movies, maybe 10 or 15.

Funny article, but considering what's been going on in courts the past few decades, it's probably only a matter if time until something like this actually happens.

Have you heard about the Greek lawyers wanting to sue over Alexander? Not the same thing, but just as ridiculous.

I also loved the joke on the side about "Overboard 2"

To be honest, I don't think Cars looks very good at all. So, maybe somebody above saw this article...
