There was someone in that photo besides Hugh Jackman?

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, I noticed Ryan. Meep. I had no idea he was cast as Deadpool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hugh as Logan is a constant for me. Ryan as Deadpool, plus the Gambit and Sabretooth casting is some lovely gravy.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
We watched Wall*E last night (though we haven't watched the short features yet). I thought it was cute, and sweet, and wow was Jess right when she said it was John Crichton and Aeryn Sun. (At one point, after Eve shot the hell out of something, I said, "Shooting makes me feel better!")
I *loved* the massage-bot with its wildly flailing arms. Although I think my favorite was the cleaning robot (Mo?), obsessed with cleaning all the foreign contaminants.
I want to complain about the idea that 700 years in the future, all humans, if given the opportunity, will float around on hoverchairs and be all corpulent and talking to their friends on the magic screens (as I type this on my laptop, ahem). But you know? My faith in humanity is fairly low, and I don't actually find that idea so implausible.
Was is Corwood who said that, at the end, when the Axiom lands on clutter!Earth, that it should have been like the Jamestown colony, with death death death? That's *exactly* what I thought! (Along with "So WHERE are they going to sleep? And these people are not exactly prepared to repair/build an infrastructure! And that's a lot of cases of primary pulmonary hypertension about to walk around a very dodgy planet." But then maybe 700 years in the future, those kinds of medical issues were no longer, you know, medical issues.)
Anyway, all that said, I *did* like it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Just thinking about all the broken robots being set free to be themselves is enough to make me a little weepy. It's possible I have robot identification issues.

And the umbrella-bot! Who deflected shots aimed their way, so -- NOT a broken robot; just one who didn't find its true calling right away.

I must have missed Jess saying this before, but Hells Yes, that's so true. LOVE IT! And need to share with my Farscape loving friends.

I have seen Wall*E about umpteenzillion times in the last couple of weeks (we have yet to send it back to Netflix, as Lillian is Very Fond of the parts with the robots). I was expecting to be bothered by the whole large people floating on chairs aspect, but it really wasn't treated like a moral issue, so I wound up okay with it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think The Axiom continues to take care of humanity while they rebuild the planet.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Laga speaks for me. The ship is still in working order and could support the population while they were in the process of rebuilding.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the Axiom had a seed bank stashed away somewhere - after all, wasn't EVE's purpose to see if the planet was able to sustain plant life? Ideally, her return would have been a signal to get back to earth and start planting.
