The WALL*E/EVE love story is basically Crichton/Aeryn,
Heh. Well my friend at Pixar did say that EVE totally rocked.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The WALL*E/EVE love story is basically Crichton/Aeryn, if Crichton were a DRD. It's THAT AWESOME.
That may be the awesomest thing I've ever heard.
Actually.... possibly just the second awesomest thing ever, but that's only because I heard a pretty awesome thing the other day.

Heh. So S put on Flower Drum Song on TCM. I'd never seen before.
And who should I see on my screen as the handsome young asian leading man? James Shigeta, Die Hard's Joseph Takagi! Okay possibly cool to just me, but it made me instantly like Flower Drum Song, which already has lots good going for it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
it's hard to care about a bunch of useless humans when there's a faulty robot beach umbrella to pay attention to, you know?
Awww.
Can't wait!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, and the short is fantastic this time around too. I don't think I've enjoyed a Pixar short this much since the original Luxor Jr one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Boundin' is still my favorite.

move out and draw fire
Speaking as someone who's recently had to watch Pixar's entire oeuvre 17,985 times, Cars is fine. There's no real bad guy, there's no shooting, and it's mild enough for me to tolerate umpity-thousand times. Also, I love Steve Purcell, so I dig on all the car stuff going on in the landscape.
And I really don't like Finding Nemo. It's a mess, saved by good performances. But still a mess. There are three too many endings, and three too many "Nemo's-dead-no-he's-not!" moments.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The reason a Cars 2 is not so much because of box-office performance, but rather because it made BEEELIONS of dollars in merchandising.

I guess we should expect many new characters in this one then.
