... but Twilight didn't beat out The Dark Knight for the weekend record, am nintenho.

Maybe it won't beat it for the weekend record but it still bends over and humbles Bale/Nolan fanboys. Think about it, TDK was the most successful sequel in what is today the most popular comic book franchise. It also had 4 times the budget and a dead gay cowboy so that should have gotten it at least another 50% at the box office (AT LEAST!). And it got fucking beaten by a movie about emo-vampires taking their shirts off.

The thing is that you know that in less than a year when the sequel comes out, the same fanboys bitching today are going to be crying again when Twilight3 sets a new record, probably also an opening weekend record. Making it the most entertaining movie this summer.

Synthesizer Patel says go see Fantastic Mr. Fox instead, which he claimed is not only the greatest stop-motion film of all-time, but one of the greatest films of all-time.

wes anderson + furfiggurtry = epic fail

This can only mean the next decade will be all about furries $:-\$

Winnie the Pooh and Looney Toons have been around for ages. So have tons of more recent movies with talking and/or anthropomorphic animals. It's funny that people somehow think this is any different.

Furfaggotry can only go downhill from here. I can see Hot Topic shelves lined with various edgy fursonas for teenage girls (and boys) with low self esteem to pick up. Mainstream quizzes with "what type of furry are you" will receive millions of unique hits per month. Halloween will turn from girls wearing provocative costumes to their fursonas, knocking on my door wearing a gaudy purple tiger outfit.

I'm not cut out for the fur world

my rule of thumb is that if you can deliver the same narrative, themes, and messages WITHOUT anthropomorphic animals, then it is straight-up furfaggotry. starfox, for example, would have been functionally identical with human characters, and the same for the fantastic mr fox. winnie-the-pooh and tom and jerry? not so much. fox's visuals are there for the arthaus yiffpile set.

Well, if you want to skip out on one of the year's highest rated animated movies out of hatred of "teh furries", I guess that's your prerogative.

I think the real issue is that anthropomorphic animals have become so realistic that Prole and his ilk are secretly turned on.

Typically when we go to the movies (Friday and Saturday matinee's at the art-house theaters in Seattle), there is: 1) A gay couple, 2) Tons of old people and 3) us.
