Today,
good taste is often erroneously rejected as old fashioned because the ordinary man, seeking approval of his so-called personality, prefers to follow the dictates of his own peculiar style rather than submit to any objective criterion of taste.

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs - 8.5/10. The best Saturday morning cartoon I've ever seen. Wild, wild, fun. Madcap. Constant motion, a parade of jokes, beautiful characterizations and character design. The emotional moments aren't its strong point, but it seems to understand this and undercuts them with jokes or by simply shuffling on to the next set piece. I loved the fucking shit out of this.

Getting blazed in my winne.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - 7/10. A lot of things happen in a short amount of time. There's an admiral quality in that. It's a fun movie and, this may be me being an idiot and wanting too much from things, but there's a weight to the comics that is lacking in the movie. They stuff the emotion in at the end and it's simply not enough. I enjoyed the movie, but I don't care about it. I continue to have a huge crush on Chris Evans.
It's so fluffy.
Despicable Me - 4.5/10. It's hard to describe what's so bad about this. It's really well-done, technically, and the jokes aren't bad, per se, they simply don't work. It's a lot of time and attention put into something that isn't very good, and that bothers me.
