I’m eagerly awaiting this one, will probably see it tomorrow night, Pixar has yet to dissapoint me (A Bug’s Life was really the only “meh” one for me), however I did notice one little inside joke in the snippet of the film posted on the Apple trailers page…
In the scene just after he puts the bra on his head, there’s a can of “Leak Less” in the pile of garbage he’s pulling in to be compacted
I also loved his reaction to the ring/jewelry box, tosses the ring aside, and eagerly inspects the box, most probably trying to figure out how the spring closure works
I can’t wait to see this. For those who have, what’s the scary/sad level for little kids? My daughter is 3 and I’m wondering if this would be too much for her. She’s never seen a movie at the theater before, and I’m afraid even G-rated scariness (like the sharks in Nemo, scary toys in Toy Story, bad guys in Monsters Inc) may be a little scary for her.
Our 3.5 year-old was nearly glued to the screen the whole time. I was expecting him to freak out and make some noise at some point, but he only had something to say at the same time as the rest of us in the theatre did. YOU BROKE IT! Is what he said.
I saw the midnight showing. Kids-In-Mind gives it a 1.2.1 rating (Sex.Violence.Profanity) There are some loud noises and explosions, and robot-to-robot shooting (No people are involved at either end). What’s apparently the last cockroach on Earth gets squished a couple times but instantly pops back up.
I loved WALL-E and EVE’s pas de deux, and after starting this thread I was amused to see WALL-E repairing himself using parts scavenged from defunct fellow compactors.
I just knew Otto (Auto? There’s no listing in IMDb) was up to no good. His eye looked too much like HAL’s.
I dunno, looking at your location… I’d be nervous about going to your part of the world, too. Isn’t there a crazy person bashing in heads with rocks there? Maybe they spend the extra 3 months hiring on security people
We’re officially making this my daughter’s first movie. She’s 2.75 and advanced for her age, but I still half expect it to be a little overwhelming. We spent 15 minutes last night watching trailers, which she enjoyed, although every time he ran into something she’d ask “is he OK?”
Perhaps the Johnny-5 resemblance is intentional, considering it is a movie about the future, Wall*E could be a subtle representation of a time past. Maybe it’s our representation of an older time; maybe it’s a way for us to further seperate his age from Eve’s and her world. He resembles an 80’s icon to us, so even though he is from our future, he still feels like our past, which is appropriate for our perspective of Eve.
I’m on about 30mg of Roxycodone, so sorry if I’m not making much sense.
They initially had me on the Hydro, but I have such a high tolerance for pain medication that they upgraded me to the Oxycodone, then the Roxy. Lowest disk in my back is almost gone and the bulging part of it is jamming the nerve against some really uncomfortable part of my spine. Having surgery on the 9th of July.
We should start a club or something. I’m at work right now and taking this stuff. Woohoo!
I have a high tolerance for pain medication, too. Actually for most medication. It’s just my metabolism. Try telling that to a new doctor/dentist when you move, though. Makes you sound like a drug fiend. “No, doctor, that won’t do. I need a higher dose…”
Sucks about your back; that’s gotta suck. Glad you’re getting it fixed soon! Good luck with your surgery.
All this talking about how WALL-E (the most adorable little robot ever - and this is coming from a 19 year old guy) looks like a different one, and nothing at all about the ship’s autopilot having a HAL eye?
This movie was amazing, I think I’ll see it again, as I was a bit dozy at the midnight showing.
And I totally called that EVE was designed by someone who works on iShinystuff.
