Spoiler: Real spoilers, so heads up! (click to show/hide)

I think part of the appeal of Wall-E is that despite being with robots, the first half of it is shot in a similar manner to much older films. One of the best scenes is when Eva opens the lighter and makes it spark, and Wall-E looks at Eva, with a sudden love struck awe. The camera slowly zooms in on Wall-E, then back to Eva, then back to Wall-E, and back to Eva. It is a technique old as film itself, so much so that nobody uses it any more because it would be too corny, but they managed to do it seamlessly, and it was awe inspiring.

I'm not sure how much of a spoiler that is...hasn't the movie been out for at least two years now?

Almost four, actually.

Somewhere out there somebody hasn't seen it yet, and I refuse to be responsible for tarnishing it even the slightest bit.

Well, if I ever meet that person, I will whip out my iPod and show it to them. And then smack them upside the head for missing out all those years.

When Disney acquired Pixar, I was expecting things to go downhill, but they actually seem to have gone the other way...

If it makes you feel better, Vector, I can say that there are very few upsides to not having a scrap of fat on your body. It doesn't matter how many coats you wear, you will be cold all the time. Maybe not so bad around Berkeley, but up here in Washington it's not fun. I had two coats on and still only managed to stay outside at the Occupy rally for a few hours before I had to go home and warm up. Purple arms are a little too cool for me.

To cheer you up: You have a significantly higher chance of survival than I do if we both went to Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, or a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland! Keep on having those beneficial human traits, lady.

I can only hope the same for Marvel

May we never meet in person, then

I've been in the same room as someone else watching a movie a few times in the last year or two, but I think it's been... four, five years now since I've watched one of my own volition? Even with that, I've seen probably less than a dozen, maybe two, movies in the last decade or so.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, m'consumption of most forms of non-still visual media decreased after I stopped watching/owning (a) TV.

Damnit, i think i want to livestream this soon.

[Sirus]

Good idea. I would watch if my connection were good enough to allow streaming.

Na its gotta be tomorrow too tired now. this means i gotta resurrect my channel though, shoot me some movie ideas.

I've been avoiding the sad thread for a couple days because I don't want the sad thread to make me sad, and there has been some bad stuff here. Posts from Truean and MaximumZero a couple days ago for example.

If it makes you feel better, in the two forum games I tried to put together about B12ers stranded in the wilderness together, they never made it far enough for anyone to die. Hell, even in my Sims3 LP, no one died, although Xanatos Jr. came pretty close when he set himself on fire.

[Max White]

Not from lack of trying, mind you...

[MaximumZero]

You make a very valid point.

[Bauglir]

Vector, if you are a stupid, bloated piece of trash, then I have a new goal in life. I am going to drink enough alcohol to give myself brain damage and a beer belly, and live in a dumpster. Because apparently stupid, bloated piece of trash is the way to go in order to be preposterously awesome.

... I hope that sounds as confidence-inspiring as I intend it to. Because seriously there is no part of that description that could possibly be used to describe you accurately, with the exception of the word "of".

I logged onto my gaia account today, I used to play it with my ex fiance before she died, that was over a year ago and I hadn't played it since.  made me sad because it reminds me of her,  I've only been on one date in the last year, still not really over her death.. hadn't thought of it recently until today. but I guess it's always at the back of my mind.
