Nowadays movies are mostly great CG and nothing else.<BR/><BR/>What ruined the movie for me was the talking and the humans. It felt like the movie was 2 different movies, written by 2 different people and mashed together in a half assed way. Yes, it's hard to make a long silent movie but the humans totally ruined it for me.Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35582896.post-48581195524758120452009-02-05T00:08:00.000-05:002009-02-05T00:08:00.000-05:00Midgard Dragon- Since your point is being tuned in...Midgard Dragon- Since your point is being tuned into the American public, you might want to concede that "The Dark Knight" was a raging success both at the box office and critically. And that, Dear Sir/Madam, indicates that there are plenty of Americans who are nervous about the "dark state of the world" and are not looking for escapist "art" to elevate their sad lives.<BR/><BR/>It is this atmosphere of unease that caused so many Americans to a) vote for Obama, in the hopes of turning things around, b) fork over their $13 in these tough economic times to see "The Dark Knight" in theatres. In short, "The Dark Knight" seems to have struck a chord with Americans as much as Obama has, so maybe you might want to avoid sweeping comments about what Americans want.<BR/><BR/>And Barb, from your summary, WALL-E sure sounds like a big-time ripoff aka "modernized" version of "The Lorax", which was one of my all-time favourite films as a tree-hugging Canuck. :)La Poutine Cacherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612961328069774270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35582896.post-20045270645428123012009-02-04T21:17:00.001-05:002009-02-04T21:17:00.001-05:00Not that I've seen Wall-E, or anything...Not that I've seen Wall-E, or anything...Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731938906343025989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35582896.post-3017868648955411632009-02-04T21:17:00.000-05:002009-02-04T21:17:00.000-05:00Well, I'm a pinko commie liberal & proud o...Well, I'm a pinko commie liberal & proud of it, so why does the above comment piss me off so much more than the original post? <BR/><BR/>Dude: political opinions and taste in art are two very, very different things. I have enjoyed books, art, and films, here the major premise was completely at odds with some aspect of my ideology. <BR/><BR/>And why can't there be hopeful, beautiful art about a man in a batsuit?Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731938906343025989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35582896.post-80263744276709197782009-02-04T17:49:00.000-05:002009-02-04T17:49:00.000-05:00"back when we still had half-decent President, and..."back when we still had half-decent President, and not an America-hating crooked bastard"<BR/><BR/>This statement immediately makes your opinion invalid and laugh worthy. There's a reason the American people voted for a President like Obama and not a moron like you (what? surely this must be Dubya to be saying something so stupid).<BR/><BR/>There's a reason WALL-E's the best reviewed movie of the year. Because it's the best of the year. Just as you are totally out of touch with America and how they want change and something different rather than the redneck ignorant moron as President, so too are you out of touch with movies and how they want a hopeful, beautiful, piece of art rather than a man in a batsuit or a movie about war.<BR/><BR/>See you at The Oscars, where WALL-E will walk away with no less than 3, and for good reason.
