11/18/2008 5:17:18 PM

it's pretty terrible actually

11/18/2008 5:17:58 PM

as terrible you mean?

11/18/2008 5:18:28 PM

You must be one of the fat people that got offended by talking cartoon robots telling them to get off of their ass.

11/18/2008 5:18:36 PM

yes, it's just as good as other pixar movies

11/18/2008 5:20:17 PM

so buy or rent?

11/18/2008 5:20:21 PM

Just go into to it knowing it's a little different.

11/18/2008 5:20:29 PM

I thought it was great.

11/18/2008 5:21:14 PM

Buy.

Should be an academy award best picture nominee, without a doubt.

11/18/2008 5:24:49 PM

Well, if you buy into the movie's message, you should rent it. If you disregard the movie's message, you should buy it.

11/18/2008 5:25:47 PM

Worst Pixar movie ever, and i'm usually a whore for Pixar movies.

Don't waste your time watching it.

11/18/2008 5:26:05 PM

excellent movie

i loved it

11/18/2008 5:26:46 PM

okay ill go buy it

thanks

11/18/2008 5:27:51 PM

Seriously, not trying to be a douche this time or anything but some people didn't like this movie because of its liberal bias. So, knowing you, you might want to rent it.

11/18/2008 5:29:29 PM

^ historically, conservation has been a conservative trait. The Sierra Club, for example, was formed by a group of conservatives.

11/18/2008 5:30:22 PM

i mean i am a conservative person, there is no doubt.

but i think coming off the election everyone has turned into a unc-state like rivalry.


its not like because i support bush that i run around pouring used motor oil in baby eagles nests and dumping my garbage in crabtree creek-though that would be easier than taking it out. hmmm

How are you guys hating on WALL-E?

This movie was really good.

11/18/2008 5:33:35 PM

I'm just sending you a friendly little buyer beware message.

Also, I haven't even seen it, so you should probably disregard anything I say.

those people were way too uptight about a really tame message

11/18/2008 5:33:47 PM

People don't like being told that their way of life is wrong. That's why people hate Christians.

11/18/2008 5:35:08 PM

A left message doesn't mean it isn't an incredible film. No matter where you are on the political spectrum.

Forrest Gump has some pretty conservative subtext.

Still an enjoyable film.

11/18/2008 5:37:18 PM

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS TALKING "CREATURE" CGI BULLSHIT

11/18/2008 5:40:34 PM

i thought there was more than one message

but thats just me

messages aside, the animation was pretty cool.

11/18/2008 5:41:17 PM

wall-e is a great movie!

i'm gonna go rent it tomorrow night so i can watch it again

11/18/2008 5:42:36 PM

seriously, worst movie evar.

now, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, on the other hand...

11/18/2008 5:47:28 PM

i don't understand why people didn't like it

11/18/2008 5:47:50 PM

^ I don't think it's a bad movie at all, it's just not a good compared to the other Pixar movies...

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!








on one scene, it said that the people got fat from a microgravity environment, but it clearly was not a microgravity environment they were in. I'm sure this was thrown in to be politically correct (otherwise it was a big fuck-you to any fat people watching the movie). The Axiom ship was extremely advanced too, as well as Eve's design, but there was no sigh of this advanced technology in the garbage Wall-E was sweeping up. And why would a spaceship that apparently was self contained be dumping massive amounts of garbage out, when it would likely be recycling that garbage? There are some other things too, but these types of details (ones that wouldn't have altered to plot to get right), Pixar usually gets right.

I also wish they would have explained more what caused Wall-E to have emergent consciousness compared to the other Wall-E robots. I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching the movie, because it was entertaining.

Umm because people were living on the ship on not on the Earth?

Why would the technology on Earth be up to the ship's standards?

11/18/2008 6:11:06 PM

^^ http://www.oscar.com/nominees/?pn=films

Where are you getting that info from

^ uhhh... because the ship was built on earth? And people were living on earth until they boarded the ship? Or do you think all technology was withheld and used exclusively on the space ship?

oh i guess i see. i'm a big picture person so i tend to not realize details like that (oops). i just paid more attention to the love story and how cute everything was and the overall messages. but i guess i see your point.

11/18/2008 6:32:36 PM

It was ok, it never really pulled me in.

11/18/2008 6:39:27 PM

I heard that today on NPR on Here and Now. She said it could be the first kid's motion picture to win best picture.

Wall*E is great...
Loved the movie

AND it's an amazing love story too...

11/18/2008 7:27:35 PM

It was ok. not the best pixar movie that's for sure.

11/18/2008 7:28:58 PM

11/18/2008 9:04:20 PM
