Dear God, go see Wall-E now. Pixar was right. Don't read this, go see WallE

I made the ultimate mistake last night... I saw Wall-E and Wanted at the same theater one after the other. My mind is so blown that I'm having a hard time gathering the chunks. Yes, even now.

And I don't think Wall-E was too political. I think it was more about a quest for hope than anything.

Disclaimer: Aatg885 does acknowledge that there was some political issues that were tread upon by Wall-E's track-tires, but not so many that they ruin the movie.

Hahhaa, I did the same thing.  Kinda.

The wife and I went theater hopping, and saw WALL-E, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Wanted, and then The Dark Knight.

At the end of the night, I didn't even remember Wanted.  Such a waste of fucking time.  But it was the only movie that could fit in our schedule, so we couldn't see Hancock or something.

 

 

Also, WALL-E is brilliant.

 

AND BETTER THAN TOY STORY.

 

 

I found this on Wikipedia:

In an interview with World Magazine's Megan Basham, Stanton explained his singular vision for WALL-E: "(W)hat really interested me was the idea of the most human thing in the universe being a machine because it has more interest in finding out what the point of living is than actual people. The greatest commandment Christ gives us is to love, but that's not always our priority. So I came up with this premise that could demonstrate what I was trying to say—that irrational love defeats the world's programming. You've got these two robots that are trying to go above their basest directives, literally their programming, to experience love."
