from what i've read it's got a rather apocalyptic ending

doesn't seem like that'd go over well with the target audience

am i wrong

6/24/2008 7:04:11 PM

Can't wait for this movie.

Does this remind anyone else of "Number 5 ALIVE!!!"???

6/24/2008 7:04:36 PM

1. Fuck north hills

[Edited on June 24, 2008 at 7:10 PM. Reason : digital showing]

6/24/2008 7:09:52 PM

this movie will be awesome if the spoiler is true

6/24/2008 7:11:04 PM

^ Guess I won't be coming back to this thread until after I've seen it.

This movie will be awesome!

Pixar + love story = EPIC!

Friday at CrossRoads anyone??

6/24/2008 7:45:53 PM

All Regal theaters (xroads, north hills, raleigh grande...etc) will be handing out Wall-E watches (while supplies last).

They are basically livestrong bands with a tiny LCD time display and wall-e logo..

I'm sure kids will think its cool. I mean, other cartoons won't be giving out free watches

6/24/2008 7:53:23 PM

oh snap, watches!

6/24/2008 8:50:25 PM

can't wait!!

6/24/2008 8:52:37 PM

I am disproportionately excited about this movie

it seems like an apocalyptic beginning would be likely. I mean, in the previews the robot is digging through the rubble of a seeming deserted world.

Just watched the trailer again. "Mankind has left Earth and left the cleanup to this robot."

My God, the animation looks incredible.

I <3 sad looking robots

6/24/2008 10:14:09 PM

im stoked that they made Short Circuit into a CGI animation film








WALLLLLLLL EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

6/24/2008 10:22:54 PM

i heard somewhere this was based on charlie chaplain

6/24/2008 11:20:32 PM

i read that the filmmakers watched the entire body of work of both keaton and chaplin

since most of the movie doesn't have dialogue

6/24/2008 11:35:53 PM

this is going to be the best movie.

6/24/2008 11:40:05 PM

I think I'll be seeing this on Saturday or Sunday. Looks like it will be a quality film.

6/25/2008 12:16:16 AM

i hate the premise of this movie and its cute/adorable robot protagonist. i hope the apocalyptic ending blows him to shit.

6/25/2008 12:38:10 AM

Movies where there is not dialogue for the first 20 minutes are awesome

6/25/2008 2:14:04 AM

^ not 2001: A Space Odyssey (except for the middle part where Hal flips out).

6/25/2008 2:20:47 AM

wait wait, 2001: A Space Odyssey is NOT awesome?

lol

6/25/2008 2:26:05 AM

^ no, except for the middle part, where Hal flips out.

6/25/2008 2:31:05 AM

funny.

6/25/2008 2:32:49 AM

goddamn i'm excited about this

i've already bought wall-e toys

yes, and I love those movies

6/25/2008 6:05:59 AM

I really wasn't interested in Cars or Ratatouille. I eventually got around to seeing them and they were ok, nothing earth shattering. I've got the same vibe about Wall-E. I'll get around to seeing it. In the meantime, it's just funny to watch the people that structure their hopes, dreams, and lives around seeing it (over-exaggeration, sure)... just like the new Batman movie. Deemed the greatest movie of our generation before it even comes out, and you have people in their 20s quoting snippets from the trailer every 5 minutes just like they were 10 years old.

I guess I'm just jaded on movies these days.

6/25/2008 9:30:26 AM

Ratatouille is ten times the movie that Cars is.

QFT. I really enjoyed Ratatouille.

6/25/2008 10:52:10 AM

My girlfriend flips out and tears my arm to shreds whenever a commercial for this movie comes on because she thinks that damn robot is so cute.

6/25/2008 11:25:42 AM

Mine is fairly reserved and can discuss Shakespeare at length and talks about experimental theater all the time...and then a commercial comes on and she screams "ZOMG he's the cutest robot ever!!!!"

She's right, though.

6/25/2008 11:27:56 AM

^ why is a dumb old robot with no self confidence considered cute?

6/25/2008 11:59:32 AM

because he has big googly eyes

YES

I have plans to see this on Friday and there is very little that Chris can do to avoid it

6/25/2008 3:12:22 PM

if there's nothing else coming out on Friday I might go see this...

6/25/2008 3:14:06 PM

^Wanted

6/25/2008 3:14:45 PM

the robot is cute as hell

and the animation is gorgeous

6/25/2008 3:25:21 PM

When are you kids going?

I want to see it Friday, but I want to avoid children.

Part of me thinks that one of the midnight showings would be best for that, but I have no idea.

6/25/2008 3:27:12 PM

^yes.

6/25/2008 3:27:45 PM

^^I'm not sure yet, I still need to talk to forkgirl and see when they can go.

I'll let you know, it would be cool to get a few people together for this and maybe poker afterwards.

6/25/2008 3:29:49 PM

What's so great about Andrew Stanton? It looks like the only other thing he has directed was Finding Nemo. He's also done writing and producing on other Pixar movies. I mean, that's cool and all, but I'm not gonna cream my jeans over him directing this movie.

That said, I'm very excited about it and will be seeing it friday.
