How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
David, while that may be true about the spaceship, the devastastion on Earth in WALL-E is supposed to be the result of overcommercialization, more like national socialism in its simplest form (i.e. the government is entirely subsidized by monopolistic interests) than any sort of Marxist ideology. The Buy N Large facility you can see on Earth seems to be patterned on the enormous Costco in Idiocracy. And would that make WALL-E John Galt in your analogy? 'Cause that's going to lead to problems if Pixar adopts Ayn Rand's "rape is hottt" approach to sexuality.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The robot sex seems to be limited to holding hands.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But didn't WALL-E hold EVE's hand even when she was a robot vegetable and unable to give consent?

He tried, but it pinched his fingers.

brillig
I, for one, am very squicked at having WALL-E and Eve's relationship called rape even in jest. And I know squick wasn't intended, but I just want to put it out there.
