Anyone catching Wall-E this weekend?

[Rman]

It's getting amazing reviews.  I'll probably check it out.  Pixar has only failed me once with that bug movie that I don't even remember.

[tiesto]

Yeah, gonna see about going Friday or Saturday night... Not a Pixar fan but love the character design and the whole concept of the movie, been hyped for this ever since I saw the first trailer.

[Rman]

Isn't there a long segment in which there is no dialogue?

[Tucah]

So, SO excited to see this tomorrow. Pixar rarely lets me down (Cars  , which is still a great movie, just not as great as Toy Story or Incredibles), and the reviews are so glowing I know I will walk out satisfied.

[Great Rumbler]

Isn't there a long segment in which there is no dialogue?

Most of the first half, yeah.

I'll either be going to the midnight showing tonight or Friday evening, to lessen the chances of being in a room full of kids for two hours.

[Mr. Gundam]

My wife has tomorrow off, and I've got the entire summer off, so we're going to catch an afternoon matinee tomorrow.

Aside from the awful Cars, Pixar movies = perfection.

Midnight show tonight

Post you impression, FA, please.  No spoilers of course.

[Joe Molotov]

Tomorrow night...Wall-E.

[Fresh Prince]

I want to so watch this film but a late year release in Australia is killing me.

[Raban]

FUCK YES.

IT'S FINALLY HERE MOTHERFUCKERS.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

LET'S HAVE SEX.

[MrAngryFace]

Kinda want to, but I hate theaters on opening weekend

[Brehvolution]

I hate going to movies in todays age. By time you and the wife get tickets, some popcorn, and a drink to fucking share, we have already paid more than what the DVD costs. If the kids are involved too, the Blu Ray version.

That's why you go alone and buy only a ticket. I fucking rock

[patrickula]

I wish I was seeing it this weekend... but it's gonna have to be the next one.  Plans have been made  :'(

[cool breeze]

I'm planning to go see this and Wanted.  This is gonna be the first time I went to see a movie alone in the theaters, but I heard that going in the daytime is the best way to do it.  I hate the theater experience, and despite enjoying hanging out with friends outside of theaters, I am always on the verge of telling them to shut up and stop talking to me when I'm watching the movie.

Oh fuck, son, I could give you a tutorial on dodging the theater experience bullshit. I'm a fucking professional at it. I always go alone because I hate friends that talk and all that shit, and I hate it when tons of people are in the theater.

[demi]

No, will just play the game instead

[Van Cruncheon]

it's probably good, but it's the pixar movie i'm the least interested in

[Positive Touch]

fukk yes i'm going; the robot looks like Johnny-5

[Raban]

No, will just jack off to pictures I've saved of Raban because I have a man-crush on him and am so hopelessly fucking distinguished mentally-challenged I could never please him.

Fixed.

Go to matinee showings, they're cheaper, and if you really need something to eat, go to the grocery store before hitting the theater and sneak it in. That's what my wife and I do.

I only speak the truth, you hapless bastard. And frankly, it disgusts me that anybody would find me attractive enough to jerk their ham to me, so your rebuttal is useless, just like your existence.

[demi]

I've never jerked anything to you... what are you going on about? You're warped, man.

[Raban]

I've never jerked anything to you... what are you going on about? You're warped, man.

I'm watching you

[Tauntaun]

Yeah gonna see Wall*E tomorrow cause I know everybody is going to be seeing that tonight so tonight I'll see Wanted.   Will catch Wall*E tomorrow afternoon when there's less people. 

[Solo]

I'll eventually catch it on BD... animated movies arent really my bag, so I wont rush out to see it., unless its as good or better than The Incredibles.

This won't work for WALL-E though.  Parents bring their shit sucking scummy children to the matinees.  People shouldn't be allowed into movie theatres until they are about 25 or so.

In the early afternoon this will be true.

school is out, its summer, youre fucked

[cool breeze]

They need to bring back the class to movie theaters.  Basically, pay like 2 or more dollars extra but the theater is smaller, there are strict quiet rules, each seat is spaced out and bigger, and the floors are cleaned constantly so they don't become sticky.  They can have the regular peasant theater, but I want my business class theater too.

[Tucah]

Just saw it. Wow, incredible. It was packed with kids, predictably, and most of them seemed bored and confused (there was one point where a bunch of kids just said "What just happened?"), even though I thought the movie was never boring and always pretty straightfoward.

Definitely want to see it again on the big screen, I was very impressed.

On a scale of Ayn Rand inspired pixar movies is it a 10 like the incredibles or more of a 5 like Bug's Life?

It looked like an animated version on Anthem based on the previews.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Best animated movie ever made. Holy fuck that was excellent.

...

Well, looks like I'm seeing Wanted tonight.

[Rman]

Awesome.  Pixar is really on roll after crappy Cars--Ratatouille, which was superb, and this.  I was pleasantly surprised and I was very hyped before release, but it even exceeded my expectations.  All sci-fi fans have gotta watch this.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Jesus, you make it sound so terrible.

That's ok, you can go watch it and tell yourself its about the evils of corporations instead of individualism vs society.

Robots are the perfect way to represent socialists. Pixar

[Rman]

It's actually framed in the reverse, FOC. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The robots show more individuality than the humans.  It also weaves very anti-corporate themes, more corporate restraint than anything else.

[close]

[TakingBackSunday]

Fucking go see this movie.  So beautiful.  Honestly, the best animated movie I've seen.

[Mandark]

It's silly how good this movie is.

I was a bit suspicious of how ambitious and high concept it sounded when the Pixar guys initially described it.  "Let's make a silent movie!" tends to be code for "I want to do something important" which in turn usually means "This will suck."

However, this did not suck.

[The Fake Shemp]

This movie was pretty fucking awesome.  I pretty much echo Mandark's thoughts, but from a more crass, unwashed masses point of view.

I was worried it'd get pretty preachy, but they really kept it in check.  This also has to be the first futuristic movie where there isn't some kind of tension or hatred between robots and humans.

[Jabberwocky]

Is it this weekend all over the US or no?

When does it open nation wide?

The is the first Pixar film I've wanted to see since I was a kid.

[Herr Mafflard]

Man I want to see this so bad but it doesn't come out here in England till July 18th. Fuck you Disney. 

Btw, saw Wanted last night. Awesome flick, just don't think about it too hard.

[tiesto]

Really awesome movie, with striking visuals and an interesting and unique story... didn't really like the

You are such a douche, seriously dude, chill out for a minute.

[Mandark]

The short was also awesome.

[Bloodwake]

Best film of the year to date, and easily the best Pixar movie.

And Cohen, the way the political/social overtones are done is SO well that it does not suck. Brandonh83 walked out and was convinced it was the first G movie that wasn't for kids.

Best CG
Best story
Best animation
Best themes

This motion picture deserves Academy Awards, and not just for animation. It totally blew me off of my ass.

[TakingBackSunday]

I don't even feel gay saying this: Wall-E is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.

[TakingBackSunday]

The way he holds his hands....

2001 and Planet of the Apes were both rated G. But that's probably right using the modern interpretation of the G rating.

[close]

Wall-E is a shoe-in for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and I think it's very likely that it'll get nominations for Screenplay, Original Score, and some other technical ones.

Yeah, you are right, totally forgot about Apes and 2001. I need a smack to the face. God, the score. Seriously, can anybody find anything BAD about this film?

[ferrarimanf355]

FUCK YES.

IT'S FINALLY HERE MOTHERFUCKERS.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

... let's wait on judgement until Pineapple Express comes out...

[BlueTsunami]

Annoying "consumerism" message aside, I found the whole interaction between EVE and Wall*E to be so freaking cute. I'll admit it, there's a couple of moments where I got misty eyed.

Also, the Pixar Short before the movie was fucking hilarious. Its essentially a CG version of a 1960s cartoon. I'm not sure if the cartoon itself was pulled from a specific cartoon in that era but it was just amazing.

This movie just confirms the fact that Pixar are fantastic animators. The facial expression and body movement of the characters in both the Pixar short and Wall*E just had me in awe. Little gestures Wall*E had really made the robot endearing.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

The "silent" stuff on Earth was some of the best stuff Pixar has ever done.

The "consumerism is bad" stuff on the spaceship was preachy and obnoxious to the point of self-parody.

Overall, it's a B+. Too bad, because they really had something unbelievably magical for the first few reels. :/
