Cars 2 Clip: Mater vs high tech Japanese toilet
I just found a stimulating article by Jamaipanese, posted yesterday, over on Jamaipanese entitled Cars 2 Clip: Mater vs high tech Japanese toilet that I strongly suggest you all read. Here’s some little excerpts in the hope of piquing your interest!
If you have been following me on Twitter for a while you’d know that I once live tweeted my favourite lines from Finding Nemo while watching it for what must have been the 20th time. Cars was a surprisingly good animated movie that came out in 2006, I said surprisingly because I initially thought it was just an attempt to milk the craze for animated movies at the time but I was gladly proven wrong. Cars 2 will be premiering next month and there is this clip of “Mater” (best friend and sidekick of the main character) as he experiences his first time using a high tech toilet in Japan. Hilarious clip embedded below. Cars 2 Plot Synopsis Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in Cars 2 when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.
Now, reading this started me thinking so I did a quick search for some more posts on the subject and found some more gems. For example, this post posted last week, by cesco7, on a blog called Medium Large:
I’m not a sports guy. In fact, all I know about sports ended the moment I stopped collecting Topps baseball cards, meaning I still think Vida Blue is still pitching for the Oakland A’s. As for work, while I have indeed been employed by majors corporations and had actual titles much to the grave concern of human resources, I’m not one to talk about meetings or presentations or why I once dressed up in a toga to play “Ides of March” in the office hallway. So over the years I slowly gave Ted more of my interests, more of my worries and even my own occasional tendency to break the fourth wall-minus any audience save for a concerned companion–until one day my editor called me with an emergency message–”You’re making Ted Forth insane. Stop it.” Alas, by then then Ted had become my comic strip avatar, which makes writing for him very, very easy. Far too easy. To the point that two years ago while struggling with a 103 degree temperature I came up with what I assumed was the perfect Ted Forth story.

Rather than freak out as he is oft want to do, he simply reaches into his back pocket and hurls a throwing star disguised as a Motorola StarTac through the midja’s skull. (He later explains this is why he never upgraded his phone despite being unable to text, surf the web or not be ridiculed in public). Ted then takes his shocked family down to the basement, where he removes the fake boiler (explaining that this is why the family never had hot water) to reveal a passageway to another, secret basement. Once inside the secret basement, Ted leads them back up another set of stairs into a different house, an architectural quirk I explained to myself as “fun.” Ted rushes the family to that home’s garage and unveils his car–a 1963 Jaguar XKE (my dad’s car) outfitted with laser canons and “an ancient spirit.
Yet another fantastic post came from Rama over on Rama’s Screen posted two days ago and entitled CARS 2 New International Trailer | Rama's Screen which is also definitely worth a look.
