Wall-E

[uwjester]

Yeah, we still have a drive in. I am pretty amazed myself, but they seem to do pretty good business, at least during the summer. Its great to take the family, especially the 2 year old and not worry about noise. If they start to get loud, we can close the door and watch through the windows.

An interesting experiment...

The Bean was watching "Cars" after dinner, so I called her over to see a scene from Wall-E on the 'puter.

"I don't have time to watch that right now! I'm watching my Cars movie!"

Incidentally, good review from James Lileks (who's always a good read) today.

fantastic movie from Pixar. I loved ratatouille, and this movie was even better, I think I laughed more than the kids at the matinee when i went with SWMBO!

With the kids laughing around you it really brings out the best in the movie. I can't wait to take mine this weekend.

The thing I liked the most about their anti-consumerism and political undertones was the fact that in the end it is such a hopeful movie. Without giving anything away, it seems that Pixar is saying that no matter how bad it gets for humanity, we can always come out on top and make things right again.

Saw it at a preview last week. I enjoyed it, though I actually liked the short at the beginning the most. I think there's a lot that will be going over little kids' heads, but might, just maybe, get their parents to think. Though if it takes dumbing things down to a Disney level to get people to recognize what's going on, that doesn't instill much hope in the first place.

I saw it with my girlfriend last night. We both thought it was great. I can see how everyone can get wrapped up in the anti-consumerism fat human social commentary. I think more than anything it was a simple love story portrayed in a somewhat hauntingly manner. I saw it more of a fictional look at a future than a "THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE KEEP THIS UP". We can all probably take a lesson and slow down our lives a bit, like when the lady realized they had a pool, and how beautiful the stars were.

^^ very well said, and that is what I was thinking. I believe I was initially shocked by the portrayal, but it was a great movie. Wall-e was just a die hard with a great personality.
