The daily grind and then some

Great Movie

, , ,

Yesterday was an odd day for me. You would think that I'd have adjusted to the time change by now and everything would be fine ...not a chance.

The sun was shining, it was a gorgeous day outside, and I felt like doing as little as possible. What I did do was sit down, turn off the phone and watch a movie.

Wall-E a Disney/Pixar movie is well worth watching!

As usual the animation is done very well but the characterization is done even better. Wall-E is a little robot who's only reason for being is to collect garbage. With a couple of "beeps", a few "boops" and some raising and lowering of his "eyes" a whole story is conveyed.

Wall-E is alone, the earth long abandoned because it is covered with garbage, his only friend a lowly cock roach. On one of his rounds to collect and bale garbage, Wall-E finds the first and only sign of plant life growing in an old boot. Everything takes off from their and I won't tell you more.

Wall-E is a great movie, well worth the rental even worth the purchase price. Kids will love it for the robots and us adults may just see an unfriendly possible future.

Almost everyone seems to love this movie. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it, for some reason. I'm glad you liked it - and thanks for a great review. I'm not sure I'll see it anytime soon, though.

I was lucky enough to see an advance copy of this. I beleive it is out for release officially November 18th.

It's animation and SciFi with an ecological theme. Sigourney Weaver is the voice of the evil computer Auto ...too funny considering she's been battling Aliens for what seems like forever.

One of the best movies I've ever seen, but I may be biased. :wink:

Mugs 7. November 2008, 15:39

Not bias ...a really good movie.

I was completely amazed at just how easily a few "beeps", "whirs" and other little noises conveyed conversation and emotion.

I missed seeing Wall-E in the cinema... awww I will definitely go rent it!

I've got to see this one...and also need to animate Mickey's avatar ASAP! The poor guy's been waiting forever.

I'm sorry again, Mick. :down:

Would you go 'way outta that. You're grand.

ie. stop beating yourself up, it's not a big deal. :smile:

Karen 9. November 2008, 01:07

Well, it is to me, but thank you. :happy:

Karen 9. November 2008, 01:31

Here you are, my friend. :smile:

Awww, he is cute! :up:

One of the best movies ever! So cool on so many levels. As Mugs said, the story and emotions are conveyed with so little words, there is a strong sci-fi and environment story behind, and many other things I would not speak of because of spoilers.

Just great. Cute, funny, thought-provoking.

My turn to be emberassed. I never got notified of Your replies Karen. :o:

Hehe..no biggie. Opera has a way of making us all appear thoughtless at times. Isn't that lovely of them? :lol:
