I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened more than once

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

I should have done that. My ex wrote her name on the bottom of my boot and that just never occurred to me.

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

I should really watch Toy Story. I think it’s time.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 72 points 1 month ago

It's only been out 29 years, might wanna wait until all the reviews are out

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Be sure to follow it up with 2. It's one of the few instances where a sequel is actually superior to the original.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But whatever do, don't watch any further than 2. You'll just be disappointed. Especially with the 4th film.

They didn't at first, needed time for it to marinate

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I hated it so much that I stopped watching about an hour in. It's just too depressing.

I wasn’t as big a fan of the first one but thought the second (where this scene is from) was excellent. I can’t remember if I’ve seen the more recent ones.

In Toy Story the child, Andy, wrote his name on the bottom of the toy’s shoe signifying that was his toy. The toy, Woody, took that as a point of pride, but in the second movie he ::: gets taken from a garage sale by a toy collector and goes to a restoration specialist who among other things paints over the child’s name. ::: Woody accepts this name removal as final proof that he is no longer loved by Andy and no longer belongs to him and is ready to move on to the next phase of his existence. Since the microblogger is also named Andy, her ex used this image to show the finality of their breakup, and it’s probably somewhat devastating depending on the age of the people involved when Toy Story 2 came out.

I think he's pulling our legs, pretending like there's someone who hasn't seen Toy Story.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Toy story 2 is 25 yrs old.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Go fuck yourself The '90s will forever be 10 years ago.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Uh, the '80s are 10 years ago? And things remain great here in the 90s! If we somehow manage to weather this Y2K crisis, I have a feeling it can only get better from here!

You take that back

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

I have not, but i know enough context from memes.

Apparently there's a superstition stating you can write the name of the person you fell in love with on your shoe, and if it doesn't wear off it's reciprocated.

This sign might be like "okay, so the writing should go off since you don't love me, Andy, and I'll do it myself since the fate didn't already".

Kinda like "the love is dead", and burning bridges.

TIL, and you might have too.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Or the more brutal angle: removing the name because he no longer cares if the love is reciprocated.

[-] tuna@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

This reminds me of my ex gf 😅 not only does she enjoy "kid" shows and movies, but HER NAME IS ANDY TOO. That image would definitely dealt some damage. For us though we broke off on good terms. Right person, wrong time, wrong place :(
