So Wall-E was basically the most brilliant thing I've seen since ever, you Yanks are bastards for keeping it all to yourselves, anyone who doesn't like it obviously lacks a soul, and Pixar continue to be a source of much of the world's awesome.

It comes out on the 17th of October here in Italy.
17th OF OCTOBER. That means 29 more days of waiting.
Why does my country fail so much at distributing movies? :(

Yes! I went to see it with Siobhan.

I liked... um, spoiler.

...Also remind me to tell you about this SF book I've been reading.

... I lack a soul, because I don't really wanna see it. :<

I thought it was just gonna be another D'AWW kid movie with a robot in place of the penguin plague that's been hitting the 3-D movies lately.

It's a Pixar movie! They're the ones that actually make good 3D animated movies instead of copying everyone else's latest gimmick (and they didn't make any movies with penguins; they were too busy making Rataouille. :3). It is pretty DAWWWW, I guess, but that's because Wall-E is the most ridiculously endearing little trash compactor ever. He is made of cute. I spent the entire movie wanting to hug him.

I am an animation geek, so that might be influencing my opinion a bit (it's beautifully, beautifully animated, even the trash-covered Earth is sort of harshly lovely) but I get kind of disappointed when people dismiss animated movies. It is cute, but it's got heart, and it's very well put-together and and poignant and fun and funny, and it's got a totally awesome female character - even if she happens to be a robot.
