Toy Story 3:You're Never Going to Be a Kid Again Hye Jee Kim

If your life was a Leonardo DiCaprio movie, which one would it be? Why?

What movies have you seen recently? Would you recommend it to a friend? Why, or why not?

Think back to the 6th grade. How have you changed? How have you stayed the same?


POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR TOY STORY 3 PROCEED WITH CAUTION

The most evil, diabolical, despicable, other synonyms, villain in the history of villains and a pink teddy bear that smells like strawberries. Seems like two different things, right? Wrong. Watch Toy Story 3 and you'll know what I'm talking about.

I purposefully avoided that movie for the longest time, because I heard that it was a sob fest. I, being someone who cried for about 4 hours after watching the second Toy Story, didn't want to relive the pain. But, then again, Toy Story 2 was a great movie. And it had a happy ending. How heart-wrenching can this one actually be?

If I could go back in time and slap myself in the face I would.

First of all, Andy is grown up. He's going to college. That makes me face the reality that I'm going to college soon. And while I'm really excited, I'm also really scared. In the words of early 2000's Lindsey Lohan in the cinematic marvel that is Freaky Friday, "I don't wanna grow up." Grown-ups seem to have it so hard. Taxes. Insurance. Paying for all of my food myself. All of these things are coming up, and Toy Story 3 did a lovely job of reminding me.

Second of all, all of the toys feel neglected. Nobody's playing with them. I've got a bunch of toys that I hold onto for sentimental value that I don't play with. What if they feel neglected too? Am I just the worst owner ever?

Third of all, (100% ABOUT TO SPOIL THE MOVIE DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU) there's a scene when all of the toys (Woody, Buzz, Mr. Potato Head, Jesse, etc) are sliding down towards a fire in a landfill. At first all of them try really hard to escape, but then they hold hands and accept their inevitable death. If that's not heartbreaking, then you should watch Schindler's List. You know, for laughs.

I know the movie has (SPOILERS) a happy ending, with the toys getting a new owner, but it's still sad. You outgrow somethings, and you'll never go back to the time when they were fun. I remember when a race car and the astronaut Barbie let me have hours of fun. But now, they've been replaced with my laptop and phone. And there's no going back. That kinda sucks.

You should totally see this movie though. Buzz Lightyear's Spanish setting is the cutest.

I tried my best to make sure I didn't spoil the movie for anyone. If it didn't work, I think it's safe to say it's not really my fault. Sorry.
