Watched the film Cars last night. I’d seen most of it before on a poor quality divx but it was nice to see it in full with a nice crisp picture, well as crisp as our £120 cathode ray tube will allow. It’s not bad, but certainly one of the second tier Pixar films, though the lighting is incredible. Apart from the slow start and fairly bland characters my main problem was that I could never get over the fact that the world was populated by sentient motor vehicles. Who were all those fields of food for? Those quips about being “hot as a black leather seat”, none of the cars seem to have seats so what’s that about? Maybe the film takes place in the aftermath of the Stephen King film Maximum Overdrive the grizzly fate of humanity is a hazy memory and food production is just a kind of ritual they carry on doing for reasons they don’t remember.
