I know,
I actually welled up a couple of times
My joint top film of the year
with The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Going to try and watch it again at work this evening.
I've yet to see it,
but I read the book.
How does it compare?
THE BOOK IS BETTER!
THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER!
I'M AT AN ISLINGTON DINNER PARTY!
Diving Bell?
Very well: it's superbly acted, tremendously compelling (and equally heart-breaking). It treats the subject as delicately (yet just as light-heartedly) as the author himself did. Superb stuff; my film of 2008 thus far
It's one of the few films where I'd say it's equally as good as the book
There are a few scenes added for dramatic effect, but it's beautifully written and often very funny, especially the Proust-esque sense memory food scenes. It's usually only about £3 in HMV, definitely worth reading.
Any male over the age of, say, 10
that cried at this, why?!
I just don't get it. I saw the film yesterday and though there are some sad or tender moments, I just don't get how you can be bought to tears.
It's just a case of trying 'out twee' eachother isn't it? Just stop it, you're embarassing yourselves.
Does The Telegraph tell you only women can cry?
Hmm
i've not seen it, but robots? Animals, I can cry at. Anthropomorphic monstors, I can cry at, but robots?
Gimme the halcyon era of the lion king, tarzan and 101 dalmations on video any day.
Well, crying at a cartoon robot is no more absurd
than crying at a cartoon animal
I didn't cry, but I did find myself really getting into Wall-E's character. It's a brilliantly made film
they should listen to Turbonegro
This is not only applicable in this situation,
but in all situations.
This is very true
Tears would be avoided if people listened to Turbonegro in the first place
did you think wall.e had an undercurrent of norman bates clicheguevara
I welled up a bit at one point
but then a load of fat people started 'walking' so, disaster averted
I don't get the fuss about the first half.

The first half an hour of wall-e
is possibly the best thing pixar have ever done, kinda downhill from there though.
The whole space part
has been massively underrated in my opinion. The fire extinguisher bit, the bit where Eve has a "flashback" of when she shut down, and the bit where "Mo" cleans Wall-E were just as brilliant as anything in the first half. The end credits were kinda neat too.
During the fire extinguisher bit
I just kept thinking "surely it would have run out by now?!"
I think they gave up
on mirroring reality early on.
Haha, I kept telling myself that!
But stuff like that annoys me!
Err, hello?
This was like 800 years in the future. I'm sure fire extinguisher technology had moved on somewhat.
Hmm, fair point
I'll watch it again with that in mind
I think I'll go see this tonight
:( take me
wall.e is basically a womble robot
Or ET in robot form
he has the same neck.
Why is it
that the only women who have ever said that to me have always looked so sad about it?
Also, it was brilliant. Go see it.
i saw it again last night
so much <3
It didn't have the same effect as first time round (i didn't expect it to), but i still LOVE it so much.
the bit when they're dancing in space :']
Oh, and the bit when wall-e latches onto the space ship and touches the rings of saturn (i guess). omg!
I saw it tonight.
It is excellent. I've been looking forward to it and it didn't disappoint. I can't fault it.
I saw it last night.
So good. I cried a bit.
