Pixar grants girl's dying wish to see 'Up'

[Dalamari]

This makes Up even more depressing than it already is

A BARREN WOMB HAS NO PLACE IN MY PIXAR MOVIES

 

[Laivasse]

Imagine the awkwardness of the moment:

"YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR..."

 

[Tyguy]

Aw.

I wonder what theater she saw it at, there are so many around here.

Edit:


Aw, she didn't even see it in theaters.

what did you think, pixar granted her access to a movie theater?

Make sure to listen to this while reading the article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93jxkqG0gWc

I love that composition.

 

[Dog--]

This thread has too many sad faces.


...

 

[AtomicSpark]

It's a marketing ploy.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

It's a marketing ploy.

Haha I was skeptical after reading that article as well. I thought about the guys in marketing laughing back and forth thinking up the entire thing...

 

[Calhoun]

This article just restored some faith in humanity for me. ;(

 

[gFrohman]

^This. ;( Very touching.

 

[Vegeta897]

It's a marketing ploy.

Yeah, all these people saying "oh pixar is so nice" when really this is just a bunch of free publicity.

Still touching nonetheless.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Sucks, hope there is a good afterlife.

 

[SolidSteel144]

It's a marketing ploy.

Imagine if she would have seen the Ubuntu desktop cube, there would be too much to explore then.

 

[Reginald]

This has really made me want to see Up having only been mildly interested because of the Pixar name before now. I shed a tear.

 

[highlander]

holy ****

 

[Sledgehammer]

Francis: I hate cancer.

 

[Diesel_Power]

Did they watch it on a HD screen? Or was it SD?

 

[jet_porkins]

Harden the **** up HL2.net.

Soften the **** up Gunner.

 

[AtomicSpark]

Imagine if she would have seen the Ubuntu desktop cube, there would be too much to explore then.

Real Linux users don't talk about the Compiz cube. We like to forget that it ever happened.

 

[Azner]

Most teary thread ever.

Pixar is always good

 

[Naph]

This makes Dreamworks look like Nazis.

 

[15357]

It was nice of Pixar, but truly they would have had to be the greatest dicks on Earth to deny that request.


;(

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Dreamworks Nazis.

This isn't at all false

 

[VirusType2]

I've had a pun since yesterday, but I can't even say it. No, not this time.

 

[Dog--]

She must've been dying to see this movie.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

thats sad... but... this made you guys tear up? Oh well. Good for Pixar.

 

[Azner]

She must've been dying to see this movie.

I can't believe i smiled.

I JUST CAN'T

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Holy **** I teared up a lot.

This.

 

[jet_porkins]

thats sad... but... this made you guys tear up? Oh well. Good for Pixar.

Yeah, because you know, people have these things. I think they're called feelings. And sometimes peoples' feelings have an odd reaction to a tragic or depressing event that might actually cause someone to cry.

Can't say I'm surprised at some of the jokes though, despite my disapproval of their taste.

 

[YROC]

I didn't even get a bad feeling in my body after reading it. **** 4chan. **** MY LIFE!

She must've been dying to see this movie.

Also, I chuckled after reading that. >.<

 

[Darkside55]

I didn't even get a bad feeling in my body after reading it. **** 4chan. **** MY LIFE!

That's not 4chan's fault, buddy. 4chan cries about a lot of shit. I bet you tried to kill your feelings to fit in with /b/, huh? Enjoy not being able to feel empathy.

 

[YROC]

Thanks for summing up my situation in one sentence. I sometimes wonder how my girlfriend even deals with me. With my lack of feelings and stuff.

 

[SolidSteel144]

Real Linux users don't talk about the Compiz cube. We like to forget that it ever happened.

I wasn't referring to Linux users.
I myself don't have Compiz installed simply because it throws stability down the drain with any desktop environment. At least kwin does a better job, but it's still in early development.

 

[Danimal]

Thanks for summing up my situation in one sentence. I sometimes wonder how my girlfriend even deals with me. With my lack of feelings and stuff.

It's three sentences!

 

[stemot]

It would have been funny if they'd sent the wrong movie:

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0075376/

No, it wouldn't.

 

[Tagaziel]

People die every ****ing day.

Get over it, hypocrites.

 

[kineaesth]

Yes they do but very infrequently in situations like this, god damn it why do you always have to be so cynical and hateful can't you just accept a sappy story for what it is and tear up a little bit you're probably a bad person you know that

 

[stemot]

People die every ****ing day.

Get over it, hypocrites.

Yeah, but it's about context. There's a difference between a 10 year old girl riddled with cancer who just held on long enough to see a film and a dirty street junkie shot in a gang war.

Don'tcha think?

 

[Tagaziel]

And what's the difference between a 10 year old white girl dying in comfortable conditions and a 10 year old black kid slaughtered with a machete somewhere in Africa?

 

[unozero]

f off...what a cliche pessimist thing to say why don't you do yourself a favor became a hermit somewhere in the mountains, I'm sick of people like you.

 

[Jintor]

And what's the difference between a 10 year old white girl dying in comfortable conditions and a 10 year old black kid slaughtered with a machete somewhere in Africa?

I think I'll do as Mikael says and not shed a tear over either

Because that's the message you're telling me right
