Up’s Notoriously Sad Love Story Is Just as Heart-Wrenching in Storyboards

Carl and Ellie have one of the great love stories in modern cinema. Seen in the opening of Pixar’s Up, told with minimal dialogue and lots of Michael Giacchino’s lyrical score, we saw two people meet, fall in love, go through good times, bad times, and ultimately part due to death.

Captain Marvel Is Heavily Inspired By RoboCop, But Not for the Reasons You Think

When you think of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 film RoboCop, you think robots. You think sci-fi violence. You think social commentary. You don’t think about a woman flying around space fighting bad guys.
