I wouldn't say it was terrible, but it was different from what previews led me to believe. Take that as you will.

Oh, and I heartily recommend watching it in 3D if your theater can do that. It's not annoying 3D, just makes things look better.

NOOOOO!

I thought Brave was about a woman breaking out of her traditional roles to be the hero she is inside without it being handed to her.

Like a movie version of Jane and the Dragon (A show that I cannot explain why I love it...)
Well, there is some of that.

Basically, my impression was that the heroine fought in a tournament to save herself from being forced into an arranged marriage. While there are elements of that, it mostly revolves around a conflict with her mother.

All right, fine. Moving on :P

So who saw Brave? I watched it in theaters last weekend and I'd like to hear what other B12'ers have to say about it.

Making an awful lot of assumptions there. True, the ending was left pretty open, but there's no real reason it couldn't have a hopeful outlook for humanity's future.

Because of the laws of thermodynamics as well as the study of biology.

What is worse Sirus is it was soo easy to actually fix this ending. It would have taken 5-10 seconds and boom! the ending makes sense!
By killing everyone? That's just a downer ending, and a bit of a cop-out.

"Oh hey! You know all those characters we introduced you to? They all died four weeks later! Sucks to be them."

A bit more realistic? Perhaps, but I loathe those kinds of endings.

Says who? They've got that awesome starship with plenty of food and water to shelter in until crops begin to grow and the world is cleaned up a little more.

The spoiler tags were primarily for WALL-E's ending.

not sure if it belongs here or WTF thread
but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kar%C5%8Dshi
Karōshi basically japanese word for literally working your self to death.

was watching prog on japan and work destroying young people lifes and this came up. way I see it is you are working 16hr days 5 days a week, why are you doing work someone else could have. Why the employment problem if cutting hours means twice as many people working and off the unemployment list as well as then having a life.
Relevant.

Wait, since when do people have a problem with the ESRB? It's not their fault when people ignore the labels and get offended. I like being able to see what sorts of things to expect.

Hell, the Simpsons did an episode about that way back when. Homer intentionally gained lots of weight to get on disability.
That was a little different. He just wanted to get out of work.
Point is, he still thought that being disabled would be better than not-disabled, as in it would (from his point of view) offer him perks that he would otherwise be denied.

And in the meantime, Mass Effect 3 is still stuck on Origin with no signs of coming to Steam. I know people have said that it wasn't great, but I still wanna play it D:
