Anyone seen WALL-E ?

Worst Pixar movie ever IMHO. Big message movie, and nothing really new. I saw an interview with one of the creators before I saw the movie, and he said there was no message intended,,,, what a bunch of crap. Sorry I took the grandkids to see it.

It's interesting reading viewer comments on the forums. Some people love it and some hate it. I saw it being called "a masterpiece" many, many times but just as many called it crap. I was also surprised at the 9.3/10 rating on IMDB based on over 13,000 votes.

One commented:

"Are you kidding me? This is the worst Pixar movie I have ever seen. Higher rating than Ratatouille? Come on people, this movie is a joke, it's waaaay over rated. I watched this awful movie last Saturday and I was surprised nobody's on the line. After the show I'm waiting for any reactions from people and I wasn't surprise that people are so quiet and I heard some scattered boos. I've seen all Pixar animated movies in the theater and usually kids are clapping and cheering after the movie, but all I hear is cricket. Of course I give a lot of credit to Pixar's CGI and they're always number one in computer animations, but overall story, I'll give it a 2/10. First half of the movie I almost fell asleep with no dialog or whatsoever, and who wants to see these overweight people living in a space ship, and these boring robot falling in love! Come on! It's not even close to Toy Story, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and other Pixar movies. If you like Charlie Chaplin silent films like no dialog at all, you're going to love this movie. And if you're expecting that this movie is comedy, don't bother to watch it, good luck because it's not funny at all. To all people who's telling me this movie is humorous, tell me one scene which is funny on this movie, did I miss something here? Tell you what, if you want a funny movie this summer, go watch Kung Fu Panda. I love Kung Fu Panda but I'm not gonna rate a 10. Overall I'll rate Wall-E a disappointing 3/10. I do have all collections of Pixar DVD's, but I'll pass on this one. Sorry."

I'm easily entertained so I'll probably give it a shot.

In the Best Animation category, what does it have to beat? Kung Fu Panda?

However, there is talk about it being nominated in the "Best Picture" category.

Ruh Roh, Shaggy . . . It's An Attack on the American Way of Life!

This is what happens when adults get involved.

By the way . . . the WB Elmer Fudd episodes were all about gun control.

Crap! Where did that come from? It's driving me crazy! I know he was picked on and abused by others but I can't remember the show for the life of me...

No intention of seeing it, I stopped watching those movies after I broke up with my last GF who loved them. I saw a rat movie and a mouse movie, some funny moments but mostly blah.

No more of those for me until the next GF wants to go.
