Wall-E - Page 7

Pixar movies ALWAYS have crappy trailers though IMHO. Actually I've noticed that the crappier the trailer, the better the Pixar film (thought maybe that is just due to lowered expectations based on the trailer)

I was scared to death for Ratatouille because I loved the trailer. I figured that must be a bad sign. Guess not.

Ehh, I thought the Wall-E trailers and promotional spots have been great. And I'm pretty sure that the bulk of the enjoyment of the film is going to come from little moments, not the story arc. Well, mine is - I love silent-movie-style stuff. I dunno for sure, but I do know that they're talking up the love story, and you really don't get that from the trailers at all.

Happily, I have not seen much of the Wall-E trailer.

Let me just say, I'm bitter I won't be there.

I have a $40 gift card fro AMC 14 on Van Ness, but can I face an opening weekend alone?

Wall-E is at 97% with 79 reviews in.
That's dang good!

I'm going to bed. It is tomorrow on the east coast. One sentence:

It is upper middle of the pack for Pixar. But keep in mind that is kind of like saying someone was an average Rhodes Scholar. The first act was phenomenal but then, for me, there was a bit of a slow leak in the energy.

Ok, three sentences.

Gemini Cricket · 06-27-2008, 09:40 AM

98% 93 reviews in. Wow!

And, uh, why did Eisner not want to continue Disney's relationship with Pixar at one point? What a dinglecheese.

Alex · 06-27-2008, 09:43 AM

Well, it wasn't that he didn't want to continue the relationship. It was that he didn't want to continue the relationship under the terms it would have required.

And he was probably right. If Disney hadn't bought Pixar the next negotiated distribution deal would have probably put Disney in Paramount's situation where they have made almost no money off of movies that have done a combined $1 billion in domestic box office.
