WALL*E

[mousme]

tcaptain and his lovely girlfriend took me to see WALL*E yesterday, which I hadn't planned on seeing. I was dubious about my ability to empathize with a waste-disposal robot.

I forgot, apparently, that Pixar always reduces me to a weepy mess (Ratatouille notwithstanding, because it's not technically a sad movie). WALL*E was no exception. I think I alarmed poor tcaptain and Jess, because they've never been to a movie with me before, and thus were not expecting the waterworks. :D I am the perfect audience for movies: no matter how crappy the movie, I will always cry during the sad bits, and WALL*E had me tearing up even at the not-sad-but-sappy bits. It's a charming movie, although the social commentary is very, very ham-handed.

Next time I will bring a box of Kleenex. I really ought to pick up the Pixar movies I've loved over time. I know I enjoy re-watching them when they play on TV, so it wouldn't be wasted. WALL*E is definitely going on my list.

Bah! I was not alarmed. Both J and I we're mildly concerned at first, then we noted you were fine and I proceeded to mildly amused in the "awww cute!" variety :)

The main concern I had was whether I should lean over and whisper "Awww don't worry, he isn't really dead" but I decided not to spoil it :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Now why did you not cry like this for Highlander??? ;)
