How about buckets of candy corn instead?

Kind of a weak opening for Cars 3 tbh. Seems a lock to finish under 2 barring good legs which I really doubt given the movie opening in two weeks

Alright. I'm out for my date. See y'all later

WALL-E is an incredibly generous movie. Even its "villains" aren't very villainous -- one is literally a computer following orders and one (from the distant past) is a dude in over his head who's basically just trying to get away okay with the rest of humanity. The movie doesn't mock people for being fat, it does what good science-fiction does and extrapolates an extreme example based on the environment it establishes. Everyone in the movie isn't inherently lazy at all -- in fact they take action on their own as soon as they start to realize they have alternatives (alternatives they never knew existed). Sure, the movie is fairly blunt that maybe we -- collectively -- ought to take care of our shit, and that a life dedicated to nothing but materialist consumption maybe isn't the best either for us or anyone else, but it makes those points awfully gently and never from a place of "you are wrong and this is why".

 

In 2008, none of these things were remotely edgy or challenging or even debated (much at all). Every time I've read someone who's angry about WALL-E, they seem to be projecting an awful lot into it that just isn't really there. IMO.

 

 

 

Spoilertag that shit.

It's a fine opening. Could've been a lot worse given the ugly drops for sequels that were obviously unnecessary/unwanted or were following less-than-beloved previous movies.

  The things I miss not regularly reading the Conversation thread remind me why I don't regularly read the Conversation thread.

a smart move would be to bring a wingman to the date to help him cross the finish line

I'm somehow seeing some Ben Stiller, Bradley Cooper, and Christian Bale.

Not bad comparisons to have.
