Robot Love
First things first — I have to send out even more Birthday Lurve to my dear friend Diana who is celebrating her birthday today :) She is all the way on the other side of the country in Washington DC and even tho I can’t be with her today I want her to know that I love and miss her dearly. I hope she has a great birthday and I hope we are able to see one another very soon … perhaps she can come out for a visit (hint, hint)? In any event, much, much love goes out to Diana today :)
At long last, my friend Michael and I were finally able to get together for the movie outing that we’ve been planning for weeks. Before last night we had been unable to coordinate our schedules (to the point of ridiculousness) so last night we finally got our shizz straight and got together. Last night we watched WALL·E:
I know I should be beat over the head for my stubbornness but I initially discounted this movie as a throw-away and never really considered checking it out. Thanks to Michael’s insistence that I’d love it, I gave it a chance and TOTALLY fell in love with this insanely cute movie. WALL·E strikes me as a mix between E.T. and the robot Number 5 from the 80’s movie Short Circuit (I’d be shocked if WALL·E wasn’t at least partially modeled on Number 5) but way cuter. I never dreamed that a movie with very little speech would be so poignant and so entertaining. There is deffo an environmental message in this movie but it’s told with such sweetness and caring, I think it’s a brills way to entertain and enlighten all at the same time. I’m not even gonna front … I *almost* teared up at the end when “the kiss” takes place. The movie was directed by Andrew Stanton, who also directed Finding Nemo — the man deffo has a knack for using animated films to tell very poignant stories. I’m hearing buzz that WALL·E might even get nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards next year … which I think is a bit premature but I can see where those reports are coming from. If you’ve not seen this movie yet, I really suggest you check it out … take a date … it’s crazy cute and very entertaining. It’s deffo one of my fave movies of the year thus far.
After the movie, Michael and I grabbed a quick bite to eat and posed for a cheesy pic:
I am in desperate need of a haircut (hence the hat), which I plan to have taken care of later on this afternoon. I’m not sure what else is on my plate … I have to take care of a few things before David arrives tomorrow night … fun times ahead :)

Trent! I’ve been waiting to see you write something about WALL-E!! It came out on my birthday, so I went that night in celebration (I’m a sucker for most all cute animated movies) and I fell IN LOVE with it!! It’s such a precious movie and it’s so well done- for there to be so little dialogue in the film, to maintain the audiences interest- it’s VERY well done!! I’m so glad that you finally saw it and loved it too!!! :-)

Could Wall E be any cuter?! I teared up too but totally blamed the obvious onions they were pumping into the theater. The movie reminded me so much of 2001 A Space Odyssey as well and yea, Number 5!!

it makes me afraid to get fat

Hey! I loooooved the movie so much, too! Here’s a little bit of information: I read an article about it, and it said Wall-E was based with R2D2 in mind. The noises that he made were done by the same man that did R2D2’s noises, and the classic Darth Vader breathing.
Atleast, that’s what this piece told me… :)
