Remembering….Wall-E

Remember way back when…and by that I mean last summer, when the economy hasn’t yet gone as deep into the shithole it is in now, when people could afford to be crazy about movies…

Remember the craze about The Dark Knight? Oh beautiful Heath Ledger, who could forget. Even the past few weeks, as the movie comes out on DVD, there are more paraphenalia out there than the recent masterpiece of “Twilight”, which I still haven’t seen yet. Who wouldn’t want something with the Ledger’s Joker on it for Xmas?

Me….before Dark Knight, before Hancock, before Ironman, before The Hulk, in my heart, there was Wall-E. Even as Wall-E was advertised in the theaters 6 months before its release, I had been in love with him. It shows the perfect epitemy of what the world is heading into – a bunch of overweight, mindless things, floating in space, while the Earth was being populated by nothing more than debris. And in the midst of it all, there he was, packing trash and saving whatever trash he could find. He alone, knew how vulnerable, how valuable mother earth was.

I just brought a copy of my very own Wall-E home fromBest Buy, and it add to my valuable DVD collection as my favorite, and one and only, animated movie.
