Thanks Alex. I'm hoping to see it tonight. My son says they're supposed to be giving out a free watch, we'll see.

QUEENIE
Oh when the saints go marching in
Lord how I want to be in that-
Oh! Lookout, children! Ahhhhh!
Help me! Don't just stand there, you stupid kids, help Queenie out you sticky bastards! Oh man, why did I switch today with the other Queenie?

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-28-2008, 11:04 AM

DUDE!

The story blew me away, the empathy you have for the characters (robots!) is incredible, and of course, it was gorgeous. My jaw was on the floor for much of it.

Anyone who thinks the trailer gives the whole movie away is WRONG. Go see it.

Doh, when you quote a spoiloriffic review, it's revealed in the quote! Fortunately I scrolled right over.

I had thought the trailer-gives-away wouldn't be so and I'm very glad to know I was right. And we're both awake this morning, and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT! Alas, our screening starts at 5. But it'll be fun, and with fun people...

I LOVED it! I just wish I wasn't so damn tired when I saw it. I think I wasn't aware enough to see some of the little details.

I loved it! The boy and I are going to the one screen theater today to watch it again. I'll be a little more awake this time. Plus the boy hopes to score a Wall-E watch this time and so we can see the credits and extras.

Presto was superb to me and a great way to start the movie, as always. I just can't get enough Pixar shorts.

The story blew me away, the empathy you have for the characters (robots!) is incredible, and of course, it was gorgeous. My jaw was on the floor for much of it. Anyone who thinks the trailer gives the whole movie away is WRONG. Go see it. Spoilered review: Spoiler: How does Pixar do it?? They get away with absolutely ripping apart the cruise/entertainment industry, mega-monolith companies, and our own slovenly nature - in such a way that is too true for Disney or anyone else to say it goes over the line. They say things that many of the rest of us are too frightened to say about society. Much like the theme in the Incredibles, where they actually say that we aren't ALL special, these are ideas that I am happily surprised to see addressed. The love story was perfection. The contrasts in technology, fantastic. The ruined earth in the beginning touched me to my very root of guilt and concern. One thing that I found interesting was that immediately after the movie, GD mentioned Wal-Mart, and I realized that even as I cringed every time BnL's logo came up, it wasn't pushing that particular trigger. I was thinking of media/entertainment conglomerates. The point of BnL to me is that it doesn't matter where it started, because it was everything. It seems that I'm more afraid of them than I am of Wal-Mart. Oh, and Best Buy came to mind as well. The over-sweet, rather unlikely happy ending was the only flaw I saw - but there was no other way for them to play it. How could the humans just "wake up" by bumping into Wall-E and suddenly want to start working for a living? Yeah, they were stuck. I keep thinking of all the imagery, and I don't think it'll leave me any time soon. Awesome film. Oh yeah, and the Main Street song! __________________ The second star to the right shines in the night for you

Posts: 8,671	I loved it Spoiler: I especially loved all the 2001 references - "It's the eye of HAL I squeed to Lisa during the film," Star Trek references (5-year cruise), Star Wars references, etc - it was like someone who grew up with my childhood sci-fi favorites made the film (oh wait, they did). Add to that the WallE start-up sound... We'll be doing the frame-by-frame walkthrough as soon as it's out on DVD __________________ I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

But I could have done without most of the plot. Not that it was bad, but for me, the love story between the two of them FAR outshined the story of the ship and the humans getting back to Earth. It was entertaining filler, but kinda thin and I just wanted to get back to the silence and the love story. Really artfully and brilliantly done, loved it loved it loved it. Speaking of Star Trek, the ship docking scene totally triggered Trek in my mind. Two other references we noticed were when the roach first came out of the can, the can made the Pixar lamp noise. And of course there was a song from Main Street in there (CP caught it, not I). Overall, despite the weak (weak only in comparison to the far superior rest of the movie) filler plot I thoroughly liked this movie. Damn they're good. __________________ 'He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.' -TJ

Not Afraid HI! Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 17,108	I LOVED it! I just wish I wasn't so damn tired when I saw it. I think I wasn't aware enough to see some of the little details. Spoiler: Tron, 2001, Star Wars & Mac references all made me smile. I sooooo want to go frame by frame to see what Wall-E had collected in his "home". Looked for the pizza truck but didn't see it (but I have a few places I suspect it appears. Chris thinks he saw a Wally Shawn Toy Story guy in there. The music was just fabulous and quite unexpected. I think the most surprising and wonderful thing about the film is that there is almost no dialog, yet there is no problem understanding emotions and plot movements.
