   I was blown away by that movie. So excellent! Loved the dystopian elements…

   He makes me cry. He really does. I haven’t seen the movie yet but will probably cry through the entire thing.

   I luff him

   He made me cry, and apparently there’s nothing wrong with choking up over the little fella, heh.

   I was telling the geekboy that story yesterday. Amazing.

   I loved it, and as I was telling you guys before, even though I totally appreciate the amazing technical aspects of them, I’ve never been a big lover of animated movies. This one totally made me melt. It was so beautiful. Maybe because he looks and acts a lot like Johnny Five? I also loved the robot with OCD - no contamination!

   I loved the first part of the movie, but once they got to the ship it got a little less interesting. There were too many fat floaty people with undeveloped characters, and the shift in storytelling made it feel like a completely different movie in the second half.

   Loved Wall-E and Eve though, and the animation was amazing. But “The Incredibles” is still my favorite Pixar. I think. They do have a long list of greatness.

   See, I thought there was a nice irony to the fact that most of the human characters were undeveloped background elements, while the robot characters were fully “fleshed out”. I can’t really speak for the producers, but I’d venture to say that was kind of the point, no? As for a major shift in storytelling from the first to the second half, I didn’t really notice that. There was definitely an Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 progression, but it felt organic to me — I’d have been bored with a movie that never moved beyond the first half.

   I spent the second half of the movie trying to figure out who the voice of the captain was, and was so pleased with myself that I did so before the movie was over. Any time that I don’t have to visit the IMDB site to look up something I should be able to remember is a victory for my rapidly aging brain.

   Now I need to go back and re-watch “The Incredibles” so I can decide whether I like this one or that one better. Because I did love that movie quite a bit at the time.

   i LOVED wall-e. we saw it on thursday and my boyfriend begged me all weekend to see it again! if we didn’t have so much to do, i would have done it for sure. i don’t resee movies in the theatre! (last time i did that was batman. and i hated it. both times. hehehe)

   i kind of liked the fat floaters. reminded me of idiocracy! and at the same time, it grossed me out b/c i’m pretty sure that’s where we’re headed. hehehe

   and finally, i LOVE the voices. i want to talk like wall-e!

   Great film! And one that will bear re-watching. I’m sure new details will surface with each viewing.

    Loved, loved, loved the whole thing. Loved it. And I’m not really going to comment on Johnny 5, except to say that there was a dumbass sitting behind us at the drive-in who kept predicting that the movie was going to be just like Short Circuit with a great big obnoxious booming voice, and he couldn’t have been more wrong.

    Not that there is anything wrong with Johnny 5. Ahem.

    I remember a week at the shore with Matt and Ian, where this song was used as a weapon.

    I was out looking for Wall-E toys today but no one has the one I want! I almost bought the talking one but it’s kinda large. I need to find mp3’s of his sayings so I can use them on my computer.

    Which one did you like best? I loved the little OCD guy who kept cleaning.
