Yea, I know...another sequel...but I'd rather watch Toy Story 4 than what passes for Hollywood Innovation nowadays.
Come to think of it, there wasn’t any overt sex scene in “Goodfellas”.
But that probably still couldn’t have gotten a G :)
G rated these days is overstated.
Too many of these kids programs in the last 35 years have been full of double entendres and agendas and just plain potty humor. Including Toy Story.
They have heart, at least, but honestly its not truly innocent children stuff anymore.
First movie I saw this year. It was ok.
Too scary for little kids though.
I assumed that I would see Toy Story 4, but then I got to thinking, Andy was completely done with the toys, they found a home with cutie Bonnie.
Yeah, I’m done. Very nice films.
But Disney cartoons from the 1960s were pretty intense (101 Dalmations comes to mind). The little DoodleBobs watched Looney Toons growing up and nobody ran off a cliff or dropped an anvil on anyone's head or ran around shooting their shotguns with wreckless abandon...And Bugs was a transvestite at times!!
I'd have no problem playing the entire Toy Story series (and Finding Nemo and The Incredibles) to children of all ages. But Sesame Street has gone down the tubes, as has most of the content on PBS...which is why Nickelodeon does so well - there is GENERALLY not an agenda and it's just fun.
Could you imagine Joe Pesci in a sex scene?
$53 million? The first 3 made that in a day or 2 on opening weekend. That’s pathetic.
LOL, I always think of Monsters Inc. with the yellow snow cones, "Oh no no no no, it's lemon!" Wonder how many kids got that one?
THANK goodness the 3 second sex scene with Sharon Stone in Casino was under covers!!!
He wasn’t in the best shape, as we saw at the end of “Casino”
But then being beaten by a bat a billion times does that to you :)
Ironically by the guy who played Billy Batts in "Goodfellas", actually he and Pesci were good friends for years.
Of course they were intense, and Bugs cross-dressed because it was FUNNY, not normalizing it. Intensity was about overcoming, not promoting the criminal or scary behavior.
There is FAR too much constant potty and sex humor in kids shows, trying to cater to IMMATURE so-called adults. Never mind all those which have agendas.
I think they lost the G-rating with the scene where Layla was the background music. Everything else was just fine.
The script is about a girl ( toy ) who was born disadvantaged and is violent trying to rob the main character, Woody. As the story unfolds, Woody as the role model looks past the bad behavior and donates one of his vital parts to the girl. The girl however never shows any remorse or repentance and so which the moral of the story is; bad behavior and violence , covertness and theft is justified against those born more fortunate, and privileged and people should willingly give up even their most prized possessions to the disadvantaged even and especially if they are ungrateful.. sound likes same theme as the democratic platform doesn’t it?
Let me tell you, I am so scared of Ursula, the villainess in Little Mermaid that I could not even listen to a radio interview with the actress who played her on Broadway!
But Little Mermaid is a great movie, and Ursula is a big, scary, part of that!
I don’t monitor what my kids do not watch. What are some of the bad cartoons/children’s entertainment nowadays?
I saw it. It was alright.
I still wish Woody and Buzz had stayed together.
REALLY??
He wasn’t even likable in interviews :)
Nah, he was ok.
But he played a GREAT guy to hate.
Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Sopranos...
LOL
GREAT scene.
He buys a trillion dollar car after the biggest heist in history :)
