Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
40 minutes no dialogue? I might just check it out for that alone. Thanks.

Thanks for the review and the recommendation, Jack.

Saw it. A little too sappy to be really great but I don't know where that last 2% found something to really dislike.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Went today... It was just ok. If they make a sequel I expect to see a lot of cannibalism.
Shut the fuck up and train

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
I've not seen it but have a comment nonetheless: The NPR reviewer remarked that the world Wall-E finds himself in is the result of an unchecked free-market. Wouldn't that be a socialismoxymoronic?

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
I liked it. Matter of fact, I don't think there has been a Pixar animated movie I've seen that I didn't like.
Great for kids, and there's good stuff to think about for the adults. The plight of humankind was amusing - fat, morbidly obese, lazy drones numb to the physical world. It's funny to see that even in the future everything is still black and white - unless I missed any other ethnicity represented.

I took my seven year old grandson to see it last night and he liked it a lot. I thought it was pretty good too.

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
Beginning part was great. Unfortunately they ended up turning it into a story about humans, and how these robots helped save their fat, lazy asses. They didn't deserve it, and will certainly go back to Earth and screw it up again. Crucial mistake. I think Wall-E and Eva should have blown up the mother ship and headed back to Earth with a box of parts and recreated there unhindered. Just one guy's opinion.

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
Were the humans fat/lazy because of space or because they were pussies?

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
After they made earth uninhabitable by their consumerist carelessness, they went on a space journey until earth became habitable again. As their technology advanced, they became increasingly reliant on it instead of themselves. They became so obese they needed to be carted around on mechanical conveyances and fed high calorie beverages. It's much like what you'd see on a trip to Wal-Mart but on a larger scale.BucketHead wrote:Were the humans fat/lazy because of space or because they were pussies?

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
I saw the flick. There was mention in the film about the microgravity being the cause of the gradual obesity that overcame the population. However, they also made it out to be that the peeps just got bored and lazy.
Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
Careful analysis of the motion of Wall-E as he falls down the garbage chute shows that he does indeed experience normal gravity. And the people are fat and lazy.
Just saw it again, this time with the little ones, 5 and 8. They loved it, I appreciated it more the second time. The visuals are awesome and lots of little "oh by the way's" to see the second time around.

Re: Wall-E (Movie Review.)
Watched it online, liked it quite a bit, may even be willing to pay to see on the big screen.
