Hocus Pocus
took the family to see it yesterday. Very good movie, not only for kids, but a suprising romance aspect that will endear your honey to yer heart

might give some people good ideas for drones and anything with robotics and the like. very good movie! not as good as iron man, but still go see it!

Wall-E was a delightful film. The especially enjoyed the first half, where the focus was mainly on Wall-E and EVE.

Heh, who would have thought that Pixar would release the best dystopian film of the summer?

I enjoyed it as much as my kids and my wife liked the romance. Go figure a robot chick flick.

When in the first twenty minutes my two year old turns to me and says "Robot sad", you know they did something right in animating. Because there's no dialogue until later!

I was actually thinking, "Could this be what the Arcology WOULD have been like, if Deus wasn't totally fucking crazy?" Because seriously, there was a drone ecology on the Axiom.

I also found myself delighted and excited by the strangest stuff in the movie - Wall-E's mac boot noise, the texture job they did on EVE's shell (they said they wanted her to look like an Apple product, and succeeded really wierd), and the random 2001 references.

Although the movie is very good as it is, and although I know it is heavily marketed towards kids...

Other than that, though, I really got a kick out of everything they did with Buy n Large. I loved the little lines like, "B is for Buy n Large, your very best friend!" and "Welcome to the mall, where you can buy everything to make you happy!" And the press-conference-esque videos by the president were just perfect - having them done in live-action gave them a weird, otherworldly creepiness.

EDIT: Oh, and here's a gem,

The film was super. Cute, romantic, visually stunning, and funny.

And all those drones on board of the Axiom, just fantastic. biggrin.gif

Wall-E's mac boot noise had my rolling in the aisles. I haven't heard that noise in years.

Other people have said it but Wall-E is basically a silent movie cleverly disguised as a hollywood children movie.

The spork scene was also classic.

One thing that bothered me was the fact that after 700 years wouldn't all the piles of metal be nothing but a layer of rust under a layer or three of soil? I can see piles of plastics and styrofoam, but metal. I still loved the movie, don't get me wrong. I will buy it also when it comes out.

Perhaps many of the metals are non-rusting. After all, they're made with future-tech that may last for some more hundred years. Not every metal rusts, or at least, not that fast.
