To Infinity and Beyond!


Last night a friend of mine and I went to see Toy Story Three. We needed to lighten our moods. With this friend, I get a little inappropriate. We go too far on some subjects. Before the show, we're sitting in the theater with our classy 3D glasses on, debating whether Woody or Buzz Lightyear would be better in the sack. See what I mean about inappropriate? Woody seemed to be the likely choice and not just because of his name. He has a warmer personality and seems more interactive. Buzz Lightyear is all business and perfectionistic. I mean think of it. Infinity and beyond? Who could keep up with that? Midway through the show, some evil toys adjust the switch on Buzz Lightyear's back. His friends try to help him. They get the manual and they don't follow the directions very carefully. I won't give too much of the movie away when I tell you that Buzz starts speaking Spanish and acting differently. He starts dancing the flamenco with Jesse. And he's a really good dancer. And his Spanish is so, how do I put this, so Antonia Banderas like. The scales on who would be better in the sack start tipping toward Buzz all of a sudden. We enjoyed the movie. We laughed. We cried. We lusted after animated characters on the big screen. Barbie and Ken were hilarious. The rolling telephone with the eyes that go up and down was a tortured character. The barrels of monkeys were evil. Ken and his gambling pals used a "See and Say" like a roulette table. Watch it for yourself. Buzz or Woody?
