Another odd moment of the day:
I just noticed one of the houses in Deuce Bigelow is the same house they use in the Charmed series?
Anybody notice (or care for that matter?)
I'll just babble a while longer... Would anybody like soup rubbed in their hair?
It's just a noodle, doesn't mean what you think..........

Why should the promotions and producers behind a film make any difference? Do you refuse to read Asimov because they cranked out "I, Robot"?
Harp all you want about Miyazaki, but much of WALL-E was poetry through and through. Granted, the "Earths in trouble!" bit near the end was a bit hamfisted, but you can't fault a whole film, or it's creators, simply because they ascribe to a theory that you don't. I'm sorry that you went out looking for mindless entertainment (ironically, like the humans in the film) but found something more tangible and thoughtful.

EVERYTHING in the media is propaganda of one form or another. I don't fault Disney in any way. They're not perfect, but they are one of the few enterprises out there that does provide some wholesome family entertainment.

Ohh Longchamp, you're irritated with me...
Mindless, hmm... Like the humans in the film hmmm.
I'm guessing you don't have any children, because if you did you would know that a little mindless entertainment is necessary once in a while. Why else call it ENTERTAINMENT?
Besides, the point of the post was to point out the hypocricy of Disney and the way they pump out mounds of plastic junk and THEN try to sell an environmental image, not to piously judge someone else's movie tastes.

I-Robot was good becasue Alan voiced Sonnie. As for Disney and hypocisy and yada yada. Every movie has an agenda is some fashion. Why can't we just sit back and enjoy them without people feeling the need to take there "read to much into it attitude" and preach it to us. Disney is not innocent by any means but they are not terrible. And if Wall-e or any move helps your kids or anyone become even slightly more environmentally conscious isn't that a good thing no matter what?
And if you really want to talk about hypocisy with environmentalism. I was walking down the street in my local town this past earth day and the local "Green" group, ( the ones that do clean ups and what not) were handing out little squishy earth shaped balls promoting earth day and there organization. Where do u think they end up? Sometimes when you do little things like that if it helps promote awareness in the long run the overall beneift is greater.
Just my opinion
