GENIUS
When a movie can not have dialogue in its first half an viewers can understand every word.
Then it wins an Oscar.
This person is not such the genius.

nice
When did this blog stop being funny and turn into a bulletin board for pollyanna, feel-goody bulls#!t?
Thursday December 18th at around 7:34pm EST
ah, i remember that day well.
Wut happened?
OH GOD!!!!!how long was i out what happened this board used to be funny!!!!!!
This blog was funny once?
good one.
When we got tired of Twilight and the Jonas Brothers jokes. Seriously people, some of them sparkle outside and some of them inside. We get that already.
agreed!
don’t be hatin’
a long, long time ago…in a cyberspace far, far away…
Guess I don’t have what it takes to ‘understand’ today’s animation, I fell asleep during the showing. And I really didn’t care for “Ratatouille” either. I’ve learned that, for me, when critics rave it’s time to save (my money).
Wall-e got a lot of mixed reception. i really really liked wall-e and then some people like yourself and my boyfriend found it really boring. I agree with you on the critic raving part. They do seem to champion mundane, typical films. I tend not to read reviews for films as most of the films i like i not critic favourites.
It’s simple. The emotionally incompetent do not like it, because the do not get the emotions.
Like Ju-On. There stupid people did not get the horror (because they think it has to be in-your-face, so be horror, which results in total crap like Saw.)
“seeing as making a CG movie is a fraction of the cost of doing a hand-drawn one”
With that one comment you just completely blew your credibility. Do you have any idea how much it costs to make a CG movie?
Wall-E cost $180,000,000 to produce.
Ratatouille – $150 million
Cars – $120 million.
Now compare that to hand drawn animation…
Brother Bear – $80 million
Lilo & Stitch – $80 million
Home on the Range – $110 million
See a trend here? Computer animated films cost MORE to make. Hardware investment and R&D costs drive the productions costs very high. Learn what you are talking about before you spout off.
Well stated, Tramp78.
Though, I one could argue that Straighty’s “fraction of the cost” argument is still valid.
For example:
Wall-E cost 9/4 the amount spent on Brother Bear.
See? It’s a fraction ;o)
hey straighty, google The Princess and the Frog. dofus
WHOOOOSH
Both of you, go and watch some anime, then tell me people only want pseudo-3d CGI animation these days.
I LOVE WALL-E!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall-e. haha
Is that all you got? Is that your response? Tighten your helmet, Nell.
yes. and my name’s not Nell.
so there.
I know something else that needs fewer words…
this comment? too true.
sorry, I meant caption!
You were right the first time.
Wallee was an excellent movie! Suspense! Action! Drama! Romance! and a message of warning about the future…..plus, he’s a better actor than most of the humans I’ve seen “acting” lately…
yeah, a big messege about the future, but the future will look exaclty like the earth in Wall-E if McDonalds keeps blasting the world with plastic merchendise of every new kiddies movie out there, including the so-called eco-warning Wall-E…
Actually, Wall-E was more about consumerism, and how you CAN have too much of a good thing. I think it was in an interview.
Aren’t all animations amazing actors?
Yeah, Wall-E rockededed.
And, actually, there was some human speaking in the first half of the movie. A high-tech talking advertisement.
It was in the very beginning. THE MUSIC@@@
lol
7th comment
In other news, I love Wall-E!
This is not my cow. This is a sheep, and unfortunately, it goes quack.
Terry Pratchett for the WIN
I love this movie too, very clever as stated above. {{{chzfrend}}}
Sam Vimes FTW!
I loved Wall-E.
Millenium hand? Shrimp?
Buggrit! Buggrit! I told ‘em
Hooray hooray, it’s a wonderful day, for I have found my cow!
It’s time to feed your duck.
HUMANS ARE SO INTERESTING THAT THEY HAVE EVEN INVENTED DULLNESS. QUITE ASTONISHING.
Wall-E was like two different movies. The first half was amazing, and the second half sucked.
“When a movie can not have dialogue in its first half an viewers can understand every word.”
It’s easy to understand every word when there aren’t any.
There’s a lot to be said for speaking without words, though.
I kept waiting for it to get better and then half way thru I feel asleep…..
It was good until the propaganda, which could have been handled artfully…instead, we get more-than-obvious; fat humans in pods on an Earth-like ship, after Earth has been destroyed. A (Bush-like?) commander organizing, and the humans being fed in their chairs as they watch TV while Earth is restored, and at the end, Earth is restored to harmony. GAG me.
Wall-E was sweet. Half-way through.
My family hated Wall-E. Initially, I did too. Ironically, my family generally veers from any movies that don’t have Shrek-type/lolz/Chevy Chase/Mr. Bean humor. I know there’s no accounting for taste, but it’s annoying when I can’t watch ‘Mary Poppins’ or ‘High Society’ without AAAAHZ! My mom likes a movie called ‘Racing Stripes’ about a zebra that races horses, which is a bad cover of ‘Babe’. Half of it is fart and flies falling into poop jokes, and the other half is either zebra-horse romance or finally, girl-zebra heroism in the race.
Ah yasoup.. You poor misguided soul. You spend too much time analysing movies and not enough time enjoying them. Next time go to a movie to be entertained instead of going to analyse how much “propaganda” is in it.
win!
enjoying movies is to analyse them
enjoying, you’re doing it wrong
if ignorance is bliss – then yes, siobhan, you are right
Wall*e rules. Simply put.
But why the link to the fail “looks like” underneath the caption?
Wall-E was very 2001 ish.
Nah, 2001 was good. Higher concept, far less dialogue, much longer film, better on all counts. Let the flaming begin!!
no flaming here. 2001 was a classic. also, Cast Away went a long time without dialogue.
“When a movie can not have dialogue in its first half an viewers can understand every word.”
silent movie era, anyone?
Except silent movies had text in it.
not at all and not always. go figure.
‘not all’ instead ‘not at all’. english is strange language.
broke my WALLE-T!!!!
fell asleep like a lot of people did
Pffft, are you truly so grouchy that you had to post essentially the same thing twice? Did you not troll enough the first time?
I agree with you, Smalls.
that movie sucked ass
Meh. I’d rather just watch a Chaplin or a Keaton.
Well played! *applauds*
Genius is the men that the creators of Wall-E based his silence off of.
If you want genius, go watch Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.
Too bad they didn’t have the academy back in the silent days.
can i get a big “hell yeah!” on that?
Hell no.
most overrated, boring, preachy piece of crap ever
Did ANYBODY else notice that the autopilot was clearly Hal from 2001?
That’s nice, but try “the Silent Era.” 30+ years of movies with no dialogue at all and a huge number of them managed to be better than the crap churned out today.
I have to quible with this technically… you had exactly three words in the first half, each of which was used several times: “Wall-E”, “Eve”(or is it Eva? Evo?), and “Directive”…
Evo? Don’t even tell me there were subliminal Mitsubishi adds in this movie!
Hey there,
I am an American. I want to Put in place an Animation Studio in India. Now i’m hunting for artists. I selected India considering that it is less costly compared with U.S. I would like to understand the operations for starting up a organization in India, primarily an animation studio.
Could you fellas please help me out?
