Wall-E ! So much subtext that I certainly won't attempt to bring it all to the forefront when you can find those easter eggs and subtexts elsewhere, but the first thing I have to say about Disney Pixar Wall-SE is that for Pixar, the bar has been set soooooo high, it was unbelievable how far they could exceed expectations. PEOPLE CLAPPED AT THE END OF THIS MOVIE. I have never been to a movie where that happened.
Walmart is the villian here. Make no mistake that as much as we love having Walmart to sell us everything in one place, all that in one place ends up in the trash ..and thats our future.
Christian Religious subtext including EVE the robot as the giver of life and who is responsible for giving a humanless Earth humans again.
Many references to 2001 and Kubrick including two musical selections and the ode to Hal .
Many hidden references to other Pixar gems and of course the ever present John Ratzenberger who has been in every Pixar movie.
Star Wars and Star Trek references ....the Final Frontier in the Buy N Large bon voyage ad.
It comes to mind that perhaps at Pixar, somebody might have said at one point, "do you think this movie might have tooo much love story for the kiddies?" and fortunately, someone said , "why don't we put in MORe love story." Big risks were taken in the movie ...from the abundance of sap between Eve and Wall-E to the way that kids and adults both felt uneasy with the start of the movie and the shape that the future world is found in(kept looking for Will Smith), to the facxt that there is almost no dialogue in the movie. Big Risk, Big Reward !
And most everyone noticed the dig at George Bush when the president in the face of obvious failure and disaster exclaims "stay the course!" I would have stood up and cheered for Mission Accomplished.
There was a great slam of Big Oil with the sea of sludge.
And if there was one thing that felt a little awful at the end, it was that as happy as we all were that Eve and Wall-E were together again, we had genuine concern for the ships residents who had an upcoming miserable existance on the earth that they had landed on. NEVER leave before the credits at a PIXAR movie, and the primitive type graphics told the story of how they rebuilt civilization.
I am pretty sure that an animated film has never been nominated for best picture by Oscar. If this one is not, there will be many people with legitimate gripes. Wall-E is an unbelievable masterpiece

Watching Fox Network
Really enjoying Fringe from Fox TV these days (returns in 90 seconds) ...realizing that I liked it alot more when it was called X files ....No doubt you just replace the female lead with Scully and it's not much diff than the same...on the episode with the giant butt alien plug they pretty much quit hiding it. I kept waiting for Cartman from southpark to complain about his anal probe. (still the funniest episode of tv ever ..cartman gets an anal probe)
Springsteen AND Billy Joel - When that change was made uptown and the Piano Man Joined the E Street Band
Springsteen and Billy Joel to Play this Fundraiser ...HOPE for TV Pay Per View or HBO !
Purchase your ticket using the this link.
Tickets must be purchased by October 14th.
Oh to raise the money for Obama ... Tickets are 10,ooo , 2,500 , and cheap seats for 500 bucks. Now ..I have to believe that if they wanted this fundraiser with Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and friends to increase in value, I would think you could add Tina Fey.
Somewhere you can find an mp3 of Joel doing Thunder Road ---dont know if Bruce covered Allentown
Noooo Mike Delfino isn't dead right ?

Scouring The Internet for Hot Sara Palin Pictures ???
OK ...I went there....for the website of course... (yooohaaa.com ) I went on the search for HOT sara palin pictures ... and as far as I can tell, sara palin's boobs aren't in view ever. Barely a cleavage shot (pictured below), one can't deny that she has GREAT eyes (add many adjectives to GREAT) and dandy legs (if you are into that kind of thing) ... but barely anything considered erotic or dirty images ...and certainly nothing in bikini or nude of course .... so for now anyway, nothing really to report but these few shots (and a few more on yooohaaa.com ).
