We came, we saw, we kicked its ass! GEORGE STONE
Where is Nitti? NESS He's in the car. NESS Yeah. I'm going to come see you burn, you son of a bitch, 'cause you killed my friend! FRANK NITTI He died like a pig. NESS What did you say? FRANK NITTI I said that your friend died screaming like a stuck Irish pig. Now you think about that when I beat the rap. He runs a comb through his hair and walks toward the door. Ness, enraged, grabs him from behind and pushes him past the door. FRANK NITTI
Hey... hey! Ness propels him toward the ledge. FRANK NITTI Hey! Ness pushes him off the roof. He falls, screaming. NESS Did he sound anything like *that*? HUDSON
They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls. Let's book! LEWIS
Sometimes you have to lose yourself 'fore you can find anything. ACE ROTHSTEIN
Listen to me very carefully. There are three ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way that *I* do it. You understand? You can make a movie about anything, as long as it has a hook to hang the advertising on.  Condorman Suggestions:
So on and so forth. With the right director, the right tone and using some of the original score will go a long way. There are two elements that have always stuck with me, the music by Henry Mancini and the awesome car. Keep those and this could be really good. Lots of potential. What are you waiting for? Get on with it. RICK And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Ilsa lowers her head and begins to cry. RICK Now, now... Rick gently places his hand under her chin and raises it so their eyes meet. RICK Here's looking at you kid. I don't care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you're also writing your Oscar acceptance speech. INDIANA Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes? SALLAH Asps... very dangerous. You go first. PAUL KERSEY
Any chance of catching these men? LT. BRIGGS There's a chance, sure. PAUL KERSEY Just a chance? LT. BRIGGS I'd be less than honest if I gave you more hope, Mr. Kersey. In the city, that's the way it is. MATER
I knew it! I knowed I made a good choice! LIGHTNING MCQUEEN In what? MATER My bes' friend. 
Cars
After watching a documentary about Pixar over the Christmas period. I was inspired to watch Cars and Cars 2 over the weekend. For some reason, I've never been able to watch them, I had some kind of mental block when it came to talking cars. I just couldn't wrap my head around animated cars that can talk, which is kind of bizarre. Considering I've just started work on an animated feature, where the primary characters are talking goats. 
Cars
Anyway, yesterday, I watched Cars. This is a classic example of what Pixar are good at. Attention to detail, and putting the time in when it comes to developing a movie from script to screen. And it shows here, it's about as good as you'll get when it comes to creating and developing a good story. Everything works. 
Cars 2
And I just finished watching Cars 2. I read a few reviews about it when it first came out. Honestly, I don't know why it's had a such a hard time. It's a kids movie, about talking cars and cars that are secret agents. The animation is spot on, and at the end of the day, it's entertaining. It was always going to be difficult to top Cars, but Pixar still manage to set a benchmark for others to follow. I really don't know how they do it, but that animation, whoa, HOW DO THEY DO THAT? That's what I'd like to know. 
Monsters University
As for what they have lined up next. Monsters University looks like it's going to be a whole heap of fun. And the animation looks awesome. 
The Good Dinosaur
As for what's coming after that. I've believe there's a dinosaur movie in the pipeline, which looks awesome. Dinosaurs just don't get enough screen time anymore. Going off on a tangent here, but there's only been Dinosaur (2000) which has some pretty spectacular animation mixed with live action backgrounds and the more recent Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009). And I think that's it as far as dinosaurs are concerned. So I'm hoping they'll knock it out the park with The Good Dinosaur when it eventually comes out. 
Not sure if they'll keep that title. But it seems to fit with the story they want to tell. I think it's going to be great. Below is a little short I found online. The Blue Umbrella BRODY You're gonna need a bigger boat. HOOPER
