I found this especially funny, because it riffs on the chorus of one of my favourite songs – “500 Miles (I’m Gonna Be)” by The Proclaimers.

Found the bit that I like the most:
It angers me when after hundred years of importing aspects of other people’s culture some politician in a 4,000-ringgit Italian suit complains about Western values and such-and-such a thing is not from our culture. Our culture is everybody else’s culture. We’ve never had our own. You can’t arbitrarily draw a line to freeze its change and growth. And it angers me when people like Thomas Thomas expect me to be original, when in fact to be Malaysian is to be derivative. Deal with it and grow up. Would you like some coffee? No? It’s Colombian.

Well, the title says it all.
I got the quote off a post off Huffington Post and the picture from this site which has a pretty cute review.
First things first, or, how you know the movie’s really good – I’m writing a sort of review on it, something I rarely do unless I am immensely moved or immensely pissed off by something.
However, I’m not providing any specific examples from the film so that I don’t spoil the film for you.
Why I like Toy Story 3 so much is because it’s packed with so much goodness in it that it has something valuable for everyone.
For example,
Yes, I’m serious. You can even see some Freudian psychology (yeah I know it’s passe but still) at work in terms of the life drive/Eros/self-preservation instinct that some characters portray.
Some other literary aspects of the film that appeal to me:
So please go and watch Toy Story 3 if you can. Even if you can’t appreciate the literary aspects of it, I think you’ll appreciate the truths about life that the film depicts.
P.S. No, I haven’t been paid to plug the film, but I wouldn’t mind a free t-shirt if anyone could get me one of these babies.
