Wall-E

vulva · 06.28.2008, 01:48 PM

What a joy of a movie. I really don't understand how one could not love it. I highly recommend you all go see it, as it's easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's extremely deep, minimalistic and clever. It's a rare and refreshing movie in an over saturated marketplace of generally bad films.

Please do yourselves a huge favour and check it out.

i saw the trailer & enjoyed it

read a review the other day saying it was "too dark for disney", which is a plus.

yeah i'm gonna go see it-- but first i gotta get ironman out of the way-- i'd like an afternoon of dumb entertainment with a black sabbath sountrack please.

I plan to take the minibot to see this tomorrow!

saw the trailer before Indiana Jones and it reminded me of home.

can't wait!

it looks like a retarded kid's version of short circuit meets typical pixar shit meets a fucked up robotic love story. I bet it rules. That animation studio is surprisingly clever and makes movies that appeal to all ages somehow.

I can't wait to go see it. He reminds me of a shrunken Johnny Five.

Edit: Adam beat me to it.

vulva · 06.29.2008, 04:42 PM

Yeah, Wall-E was modeled after Johnny 5. Only he's way better.

and with that, I predict a massive line of WALL-E action figures.

I plan to buy some for myself. Oh yes I do.

acousticrock87 · 06.29.2008, 10:54 PM

I just watched it. It was extremely depressing.

Not the movie, the fact that I saw it by myself.

But the movie was good. 7/10 I guess.

jakeonguitar · 06.29.2008, 11:28 PM

Iron Man didn't play Black Sabbath once... what a let down.

Wall-E looks like Finding Nemo: catchy cartoons with an obscured moral.

And as a sidenote, Wanted was pretty cool but had more unbelievable fake, action movie shit than Shoot Em Up.

Actually, the moral was painfully obvious. So much so that at a couple of points I wanted to beat the writers over the head with a Bacon & Swiss Angus.

Uhh...yeah it did. At the end, when Tony exclaimed "I am Iron Man", they started playing Black Sabbath.

Everyneurotic · 06.29.2008, 11:51 PM

steve beat me to it.

so i'll say they also put suicidal's "institutionalized".

Absolutely. The lack of subtlety was horrific, but it was a minor blemish in my opinion. They said it all in one burst, and then small doses throughout to further the story.

I just got back from seeing it. It was the most adorable movie Pixar has done to date. The fact that these robots don't even talk (for the most part) but you can fall in love with them is really astounding. The Hello Dolly music/video and 2001: A Space Odyssey references were gold. That kind of stuff makes Pixar really top notch.

I didn't like the mixed media, of CG and the few live action clips. But other than that and the obvious message, I really loved it.
