ZOMG Random.

Am I the only one really jazzed to see WALL-E? Is my inner AI house showing? >_>;;

I've been jazzed ever since I saw the first trailer. It looks really gosh-darn cute.

[muji]

I am one of the many who saw the random standees in a movie theater and thought of Johnny-5.

So I watched The Incredible Hulk last night.

Compared to the US military, who are all tightly disciplined, upright good standing men who are always clean shaven give or take a Jim Gordon 'tache, Royal Marines never stand to attention and aren't expected to shave at all.

I never knew this.

[muji]

...Well, yeah. *blank*

I saw The Incredible Hulk last night too, actually. I think my Ed Norton fetish overrode a lot of issues.

The concept of Wall-E didn't really grab me.

I'm sleepy today.

[muji]

I am not sure it's the concept of it so much as Wall-E himself. SO ADORABLE okay I'm a nerd.

[newredshoes]

Still haven't done the dishes! Um. And also trying to determine if I'm hungry yet. Though if I'm good and make it out of here in the next fifteen minutes, I can hit Jamba Juice before getting on the train. Hmm...

[muji]

There is a distinct lack of Jamba Juice in my life. D:

(However, I am rereading SARAH/George. Because I'm me. :D?)

I am, for the most part, a Pixar fanatic. They do the best digital animation of anyone, they put story ahead of gimmick, they rarely hire Big Names (as DreamWorks always does) and stick with the right actor for the job, and John Lasseter is a visionary who love all kinds of animation. I swear by Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and The Incredibles.

And yet, WALL-E doesn't grab me yet. I know I will see it at some point (unlike Cars, the one Pixar film that I find zero interest in). The animation looks amazing as usual. And unlike Ratatouille, this one looks like it will be a great family film. But until I get a sense that there is a strong story here and not just a lot of Chaplinesque humor followed by a space chase, I can't say for sure that I will go see it on the big screen.

All that said, Pixar on a bad day is still far better than any other American animation. So if you are jazzed for WALL-E, you will probably love it.

[muji]

I'm a little surprised to hear you question the story of it -- I think one of the first perceptions I had of the really early trailers was of the potential for commentary on over-consumerism etc with the planet as it is. (I've read enough spoilers and more informed commentary by this point to know that that is not the main focus of it, but.)

CARS blew cracked camshafts, man. I was so disappointed. I tend to love Pixar (in fact, I know people that work there, since they're located really close to my work), but every now and then they fall flat.

That being said, GO JOHN CARTER OF MARS! Hurry up, Pixar. I can't freakin' wait to see what they do with those films. Will Dejah Thoris be entirely nude? Will Tars Tarkas have to cut a bitch? Will the city of Helium be rendered with the grandeur that it deserves?

[ashen_key]

It looks ADORABLE.

[muji]

Someone must procure a stuffed Wall-E for me.

Above anonycommenter was me; I fail at remembering that my name doesn't show up when I am too chicken to sign in on someone else's work computer.

I want to see WALL-E so badly! It looks adorable! Basically, I want to see pretty much everything coming out this summer. I can't remember the last time I wanted to see this many movies coming out in this short of a time span; I don't think I ever have. I don't know whether this is a comment on my personal taste or on the quality of movies coming out this summer, but damn. My list of films I want to see usually has one or two names on it; right now, it has something closer to 15.

Also, GO CELTICS.

[mycursedface]

Quality of movies, I think! Normally I'm the same, but this time?

EEEEEEEEEEEE!

[camwyn]

Nope. I've been looking forward to it since I first pulled the preview down on iTunes. That and Mongol, because while I've got two robots in my head I've also got a warm spot in my heart for terrifyingly capable conquering warlords.

[muji]

That juxtaposition is awesome.

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

Oh GOD not more Pixar. >.<

I've given up on liking the idea for any movies anymore, though. I can't name one that's come out since LotR that I liked at all.

Then again, I can't name that many from BEFORE that I like either.

*curls up with books* My imagination > Hollywood.

[muji]

Some folk don't jive with a visual medium. :D?

[calluna]

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM THRILLED THAT I AM FINALLY BRINGING MONK BACK.

I'll be EPing him later in the day.

*SQUEALS FACE OFF*

[muji]

*laughs* I am glad you are enjoying yourself.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

Wake me when Quantum of Solace comes out.

[muji]

If Craig doesn't continue breaking himself. :O

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

Yes! I eagerly await the release of WALL-E.

I also eagerly await the inevitable moment when WALL-E rolls into Milliways. :)

[muji]

SARAH-WALLE would rule my life.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

I'm totally jazzed to see it because I have an android fetish because it looks adorable!

But you know what I'm more jazzed for? That Pixar is making a TRILOGY of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars books! (Hopefully with at least a PG-13 rating, because those books are full of swashbuckling red, green, white, and black Martians slicing hell out of each other.) Tars Tarkas, Jeddak of Thark on the silver screen! Naked, even!

Pixar is about seven blocks from where I work. I pass by unassailable compound almost every day at lunch.

[muji]

^_^;; I'm starting to develop one of those struckout things too. Such a burden.

[withherhands]

No you are not because OMG IT LOOKS SO CUTE. I wanna hug the little robot!

[muji]

Precisely! :D :D :D

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

SO EXCITED!!!!

[spiffynamehere.livejournal.com]

Dude. Since the first trailer.

[vivien]

I'm taking my little friend Aidan for his sixth birthday the weekend it comes out. I'm looking forward to it!
