    Hmm... if something like a DVD limited edition with Luxo Jr. gets released around these parts, I might buy it.

    But with that price, plus absurd brazilian importing taxes, I guess it'll be pretty much impossible...

    I love... lamp.

    Are you just saying that because you are looking at the lamp, or do you really love the lamp?

    I love lamp. I love lamp!

    Is it a functional lamp, or is it just a statue?

    Either way, I'm really tempted, if only to have a physical model to use as a guide for a LEGO Luxo Jr.

    As much as I loved the movie, I'm pretty standoffish about special cases and promo crap that revolve around the only thing that really truly matters: the DVD. I'll be getting the plain-Jane version come release, and maybe I'll get a lamp that looks a lot like Luxo later on, from a garage sale.

    So Up was so bad and it caused the girl so much pain to watch that she was "ready to die" and then her body just gave up?


    I thought it was a pretty fun movie, myself. When did 10 year olds turn into such movie snobs?


    Wait... Did I misunderstand the story?

    Wow. Someone from a company acted like a human for once. Honestly, you can tell by the way Pixar movies are made that they care about us. I'm not going to pretend I know if they pay their employees properly or run a clean business or whatnot, but as far as their films go it seems they actually like their customers/audience. Way to be.

    @MJDeviant: I don't buy it. Yeah, maybe there was a handful of good people in Pixar that did this, but from a business perspective they hit the jackpot with this.


    I don't mean to be cynical, but before we get too emotional and assume positive things about an entire business.

    @SJRNWT: This wasn't PIXAR's action, it was one of their employee's, yes the publicity was great but the girl was their motivation. The world isn't completely soulless.

    @Toastie: The girl's story was forwarded to Pixar "officials" who ordered the employee to fly out with a DVD of the movie. Of course, this was a very nice thing for Pixar to do, but there was likely some PR motivation behind it. Who tipped the media about this story? I doubt that the girl's parents took the trouble to publicize this.

    @mat1cs is a gentleman and a scholar: I don't know if I'd use the word "cute" to describe a story involving a girl dying at 10 years old.


    I think I understood what you were trying to say.

    @dimsum4u: I'm astounded at the level of quality that PIXAR stands up to, and how it filters well beyond their theatrical releases. I maintain that this is one of the absolute best animation studios on earth.
