Wall-e

[zndkw1n]

BTW, the last movie i saw was Wall-e, very good movie, though a little preachy and too general audiences for me, good nonetheless.  7.5/10

[The Happy Friar]

I'd say it was as preachy as the terminator movies (basis for the movie is the fear we'll overpolute the planet, just like terminator was fear we'll make machines that don't want us any more), but yeah, it's a good movie.  I give it a higher rating though, 9.5/10, because not only was it entertaining, majority of the time there's no words, it's machine noises.

Well, actually the movie wasnt at all about polluting the environment.  Many people originally thought it was about that, but the plot wasnt written by al gore.  It was about sexuality.  No kidding, and it was about very conservative, christian-like values, and some commentary on how fat and complacent humanity have become.

Nonetheless, very entertaining, yeah, i think ill raise the score 8.5/10.  Specially the animation work, which was amazing.  The lead designer guy that made the ipod and iphone designs worked on the female robot's design too, neat trivia.

Im actually considering getting the special 3 DVD edition of this movie, for all the extras it includes, behind the scenes look, making of stuff, an animated movie, etc.  Thing is, no way in hell im gonna pay 65$ S&H.

see, that's the kind of guy you should be bad mouthing like you are in this thread.  Why?  Because he's some loser who can't take anything @ face value.  IE if I help the door open for someone & they were a woman, he's say I was sexist.  If I help the door open for a man I'd be sexist.  I'd either be hetro or homo.  There's no "Buy, that's just nice" thing, he'd HAVE to be a prick & tell everybody how hetro/homo I am.  Again, same analogy about Terminator: it's all about sex.  Better yet, christian hetro sex (because, apparently, before Christianity there was no hetro sex, and nobody else thinks that's a cool way to screw, only Christians).  Why?  Because a fail little woman needs the help of a big muscular man to stop a big metal EVIL thing out to kill her.  Ohhh... it's not only about christian hetro sex, it's about christian hetro sex & how banging a machine is wrong....

seriously, stay away from people like that.  they're not good for you or anyone else. I know you hate GW Bush, that guy IS GW bush, just selling you stuff you like, but it's the same crap you hate.  It's just someone else saying it.

No, terminator was about some steroid-pumped bodybuilder making a career out for himself with shitty special effect-laden movies along with some idiot named james cameron.    And paving the way for his political career in the usa too.   In short, it was crap.  Go read Snow Crash if you want real science fiction stuff. 

Actually, theres no political correctness in those comments about the movie.  Its just another angle.  Its no secret that the director and the writer of wall-e are openly christian and have expressed in many interviews how their personal beliefs appear on the movie.  Screw political correctness. In the same way as screw religion.  (no pun intended here).  I think all religions are poison that paralyzes common sense, and turns people into drones with no free will.  And you cant get any more conservative than disney.

oh, and BTW, star wars is crap too.

  And you cant get any more conservative than disney.

Sure you can. There's always the Trinity Broadcast Network. They make Disney look like 2-girls-1-cup.

I used to love watching Benny Hinn, that towel head faith healer Jesus guru schmuck. That crap was funnier than 90% of what comes on Comedy Central!

Snow Crash is Cyber Punk ala Johnny Neumonic.


And with today's special effects I'm sure James Cameron could make it quite nice

I thought Wall-E was crap.  Pretty much no story at all - a loose love affair between two unlikely looking robots which, of course, are blessed with human-like qualities.
Wall-E himself was a blatant copy of Johnny-5.

Boring and predictable kids story.

Terminator 2, on the other hand, probably the finest science fiction movie ever created.  What's better than T2?

I wish they'd make some films based on Iain M. Banks novels - he's fucking awesome

hmm.  Anything written by william gibson trashes that piece of crap terminator.  terminator 2 was a crappy rehash of the first movie. Just a lame exercise of franchise milking.
