Pixar + Metal Mastodon I love you. Will see this movie.

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
I'm... honestly curious how they're going to make that work. Worth the price of admission to see, at least.

Green Man in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
You're doubting their creative direction? These designers have produced a host of quality films unrivaled in the animation industry (save Cars 2). They could announce they'll be launching

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
I'm just curious. I want to know how they can fit story elements together such that a) it makes sense to have a metal song in a kids film, b) it has the song's inclusion be funny or make

Green Man in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
To be fair, Mastodon is creating music specifically for Pixar, for the new Monsters movie. I don't think they're just sandwiching (samwiching?) their hits into it after signing a lucrative

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
I remain optimistic. I want to see what they do, and if there's indeed more story to tell for their Monster's Inc. universe. I just don't want another Cars 2. Or Cars 1. Let's

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Well, I only hope they can match the awesomeness that was the episode of Spongebob with a soundtrack by Pantera. SO. GOOD.

Wilber in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Just to put things in perspective, a movie ending with a music video of Smashmouth covering I'm a Believer pays my bills.  Also, old while people and small children love to dance

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
And I enjoyed that show. Just saying I'm curious to see how Pixar does its end-movie Mastodon montage.

conrad in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Pixar is above mashing genres for shock value.  Shame on them.  If I want awkward combinations of culture crossover, I'll youtube videos of little old Jewish grandmothers lip syncing

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Condemnation before the music is even written for the film seems a little premature. I have faith in Pixar and Mastodon to do something tasteful, even if it does play on tropes (e.g., showing

conrad in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
If "Shame on you" is considered condemnation, perhaps it's time one of us recalibrate the ole "hate" meter.  If they want to do it, it's not going to prevent me

kaiden in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
That sounds pretty awesome, actually.

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
I'm not sure what else "shame on you" would mean other than censure (to publicly declare disapproval, as you have). Both have about the same connotation in my mind. And the album

Condemn - ": to declare to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil usually after weighing evidence and without reservation condemned as racist> " Condemn and censure are

Green Man in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
How progressive!  But seriously, change can be good. We can sit in the masturbatorium perfectly content while Pixar cranks out quality sequels and canned tropes of feel good faery tales,

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Two can play this game (#3), although it's obviously besides the point: which is to say, I think your disapproval and dismissal (better words?) of this collaboration as a gag is premature, as

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
To remain relevant, Pixar has to change with pop culture. And, like it or not, metal/rock is part of pop culture. Saying a certain genre does not belong in a children's film at

The normal snacks, backing away cautiously... cracks up every time I see that.

conrad in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
The critical distinction, of course, is the difference in a first definition and a third definition.  Ask any uber-nerd studying for the SATs which one is more common and which one

conrad in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
Saying that metal is part of pop culture is casting a wide net for pop culture, since Billboard somehow has a Bluegrass chart and Regional Mexical Songs chart, but no Metal chart. Aside: if

Scrotor in Cognitive Surplus, about +12Y ago:
There is a hard rock chart, and that includes metal releases. But this is an aside, although there are plenty of metal albums that have charted fairly high in the overall Billboard

I WILL COUNTERGLOAT LIKE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT! PUT THIS ON THE 'TILS JOSH! My last point: Pixar, although I respect their art, is still a business. They would not do something like bring in

I like the concept of "gloat/counter-gloat."

As a dad who has seen all but the worst of their works, and by that I mean Cars 2 and that it is their worst is just based on assumption, I can tell you by watching countless hours of special
