Toy Story 3, and other issues.

June 2nd, 2009 · 7 Comments

As I mentioned on Nerds of a Feather this morning, here is the teaser trailer for Toy Story 3!

I also mentioned this thing called “toy guilt”. I’m talking about feeling guilty if you haven’t played with a certain toy in a while, guilty that a certain toy might not WANT to get thrown out, or guilty that your spider man MAY have seen you trying to lift a book on your lap without your hands. The next day, whilst using Spider Man to foil a miniature robbery, a tragic scene unfolds. “DONT… touch me with those hands”. “Thats rich, coming from someone who sprays sticky white fluid out of his wrists to get aorund. Tell me THAT isn’t a clumsy metaphor for Peter Parkers burgeoning sexual maturity”. “Why do you always have to psychoanalyse everything?” “I dunno, Spidey. I guess maybe I’m worried that you’re Afreud to love”.

Anyway, yeah. Toy Story three is coming out! Sufficed to say I’m ridiculously excited, as whilst I clearly have buckeloads of toy-related issues, nothing makes me happier than seeing a spaceman and cowboy getting it on. I mean getting along. DAMN YOU FREUD!

    ROFL! My god, I never thought about the whole white sticky web dealy and Peter Parker and all that masturbatory jazz. You’re sick, Paul. It’s great!

    What’s the worst is finding GI Joe figures in your parents front yard years and years after chucking them into the bushes. Poor Zartan!

    Awesome! Can’t wait for this movie!

    I still wish i had most of my toys from when i was a little tyke. Isn’t weird that you don’t remember what happened to them.

    Ive seen photos from when i was a kid and i’m amazed at the toys i had back then. Snake Mountian and Castle Grayskull playsets were the bomb!

    @Klaen: I wouldn’t diss it! WOW is absolutely gorgeous now, WOTLK is a real step up. Honestly though, I’m truly amped about the KOTOR mmo. Giddy, in fact. :)
