We saw “Wall·E” again and I still love it

It’s really a delightful movie with a lot of heart. It felt fresh, lively, and fun the whole way through.

    i like it up until the point where they get on the ship and i see the people and it makes me feel the same way i felt when i watched Idiocracy

    thing is, i would REALLY like to be an optimist about the development of human culture from here on out, but i think any sea change that occurs is going to be due to some hard, tough times. basically, the pattern of scarcity/pluckiness giving way to excess/sloth repeating itself endlessly.

    Aww, you used my special little graphic!

    All in all, I agree with the social bobcat. I was especially bemused by the fat f**s stumbling out of the theater drinking from ever-large cups. Convenience is extremely hard to counteract. Consumerism is the entropy of our age and it will take great organizational effort to make any strides at change.

    What Wall-E did accomplish, in excess of a finely animated robot romance, was an inkling that at the very least we should not take earth for granted. Many of the fat backlash will call it conversationalist propaganda, but the message is uncommon and necessary enough to compliment the love story without overshadowing it. This alone is a feat worth recognizing.
