He’s Very LONEL-E
Spoiler Alert! WALL-E’s a Cylon.
I saw the movie last night. Not my favorite Pixar product, but certainly worth the money. I thought it was odd for Pixar to include video of REAL humans (assuming Fred Willard isn’t a cartoon of some kind) along with the CG ones. That kind of broke the illusion for me. You know, the illusion that I was actually witnessing a distopian future earth populated by exactly one miniature trash compactor with tank treads and binocular eyes.
I guess they decided to ditch the side story where Johnny 5 knocks up WALL-E’s mom then spilts, leaving her to raise 200,000 identical robot kids alone.
Bonus WALL-E Links:
- Did you catch all the easter eggs?
- WALL-E Legos
- It’s actually Scifi for kids

Easy there. Don't kill the messenger.

With Happy Feet, the problem wasn't putting real things in fake things, the problem was forgetting to put in funny things.

She can still like the site and hate THIS one comic, right?

its dropped in quality since the first season.

the sweat clanging sounds of love making.

He's the one filming.

WALL-E has a booty call on every planet.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Never saw Happy feet, but the real people cease the suspension of disbelief.

damnit! I used 10W-30 in a comment above. you just got the 1 up.

I haven't seen the movie yet and … sheeesh thanks to the comic on top I'm going to have a different thought process going in.. why why

*sniff* *sniff* Did no one get my Spacecamp (the movie) reference? Jinx should just put me in space now, I could just die.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
He's got space-hos in different… *planetary* codes?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I couldn't get into it again after the writers' strike.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
That explains a _lot_ actually.

Are you sure it wasn't this?

Thankfully that also prevents awkward squeeking.

The forced moral was awesome.

Two Easter eggs that I caught in Wall-E.
First, the use of a magnifying lens to make a small screen much larger was used in "Brazil", which makes sense since part of the original Brazil score was used in the trailers.
Second, when EVE pulls out WALL-E's circuit board, it's connected with a flat ribbon cable with rainbow colors (every wire a different color). These cables were almost always seen and used to connect disk drives to Apple II computers.

A couple more easter eggs, since we're sharing (possible mild spoilers):
The Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story appears in every Pixar film; here, it gets its engine scanned by EVE.
The code A113 is an animation-industry in-joke; it's the animation classroom at Cal Arts, where many Disney and Pixar animators got their start.

My wife *USED* to like this website……
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"The blurry black and white image show" That's my fave, too!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
That's some hot Robot on Robot action.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I hope WALL-E used protection…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Fruit Fucker called. He wants in on this action.

Jinx is gonna be pissed when Phoenix gets home with a virus.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Phoenix and gyrating also reminded me of the lower-left panel of:

While Eve is away…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
They did that same, use-real-humans thing in Happy Feet and I thought people had learned their lesson. Putting real things in fake things makes the fake things look faker. I think that's a stated law of animation.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Heading out to see it momentarily.
First episode of the second part of BSG season 4: they find a unimaginably large junkyard that houses a small robot, who turns out to be the final cylon.

I thought he was busy fucking watermelons somewhere?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I loved WALL-E. I think I'm gonna say that it's my favorite Pixar movie. I really enjoyed Monster's Inc, but I think WALL-E tops it. The story is great, the meaning is true, and the way they worked with limited voices and expressions was amazing. I really felt for the little guy. I'm definitely buying whatever super special edition they come up with on DVD.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
There are watermelons inside the Phoenix. And a lemon inside WALL-E's chest cavity.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You asshole. I'd almost forgotten Happy Feet. Thanks for bringing up all those bad memories. Bastard…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Is that a 10w50 money shot of Wall-e's there in the last frame?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Well, i know he used 10W-30 for lubricant.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
WALL-E and I have similar tastes.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Eh, not really. The movie is extremely wholesome. Im just a terrible person.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Wow, those are pretty good. It seemed like WALL-E brain was an ISA card. He must be dumb.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
i thought the lack of voice work was cool too especially since Pixar usually relies on star voice recognition. Still think Incredibles was my favorite.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I thought that was common knowledge.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I admit I had forgotten the name of the robot in Spacecamp. I just stayed quiet so I could pretend I got the reference but didnt care.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Does this mean the Ratzenberger streak is at an end? Teh HORRAH!!!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Wow…I knew about A113 from the commentary to The Incredibles, but I had no idea about Pizza Dude's yellow Gyoza. Far out.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Nope. He's one of the only two human male voices you hear. I read an article that said he WILL be in every pixar movie because he's good luck.
