Qt3 Movie Podcast: Brave

Is Brave one of Pixar’s best or one of Pixar’s meh-est? After Kellywand’s four-act synopsis, we have a two-to-one split on this lastest Disney princess movie. Then this week’s 3×3 is about our favorite characters with disabilities, starting at the 57-minute mark.

    I never listened to the podcast about the best use of slow motion until last week, so I just wanted to add what I think is the most memorable slo-mo moment: Bus 174. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

  • Scott McNeill

    I am surprised that “Verbal” Kint from the The Usual Suspects wasn’t mentioned in the 3×3, especially since you mentioned the movie in the synopsis!
    Also, you delivered an excellent Bris today, Kelly.

    Kelly Wand: If you want to stick it to the Skytrain man with your one zone pass, remember that the office is only one stop into Zone 2. If security is the same as it was when I lived there, just keep your eyes open for security at Rupert station. If Skytrain security steps on at Rupert, you step off, loiter non chalantly, and wait 4 minutes for the next train. If you see no security, you’re home free. (Unless they’ve started to ambush people when the doors open.)

    The way back is trickier if theyve got security on the platform. Maybe pretend to be homeless. To a person from Vancouver, especially authority figures, they’re invisible. If you follow my tip, you too can be a paranoid wreck on the final stop of the skytrain, who then gets to grin smugly as you step out into the sun / rain, and hang out in the swamp. Take that, big skytrain, trying to get me to pay your Zone 2 tax.

  • KellyWand

    I appreciate this. Luckily, playing homeless has never been a stretch for me.

    Ah, but he was faking! Spoiler.

  • Scott McNeill

    True, but much of the other charcters’ (and the audience’s) perception of Kint is based on his apparent disability, which is, I would argue, the crux of the movie. It may not be a “real” disability, but it has real effects on the plot.

  • KellyWand

    Thanks!

    Kelly’s sober reaction at the vulnerability of Sally Fields to the ravages of time is the best thing this podcast has done in a long time.
