"WALL·E", who is going to see it?
shmokes:
Cos you didn't say that it wasn't funny. You said that, "The preachiness was that heavy." And since it wasn't preachy at all, and there are tons of people (some who posted in this very thread) who refused to go see it in the first place out of the mere expectation of preachiness, I think I'm coming from a fairly reasonable position. But whatev.
BTW, I am far more offended by your lack of appreciation of Burn After Reading. ;D
shardian:
Chad, you talked our resident movie reviewer out of seeing it. That is a crime in and of itself!
And yeah, I'm fine with you flat out not liking it. Like I said, I didn't care for it the first time either. I would almost bet money you would like it the second time.

I did say that, so I guess my position has morphed a bit as I've thought about it more. I see more preachiness than you, but wasn't offended by it, and at the same time found the fat people jokes to be not funny. Fat people rolling around a ship's deck didn't make me laugh.
I didn't even notice most of the jokes that must have been in Burn After Reading. Seriously. Like an hour in I started wondering if it was actually a comedy.

I can totally see that people who get 100% service from robots for 700 years on an isolated cruise ship would eventually breed total and complete dependence.
What is not believable about that?

I haven't said it isn't plausible. Wouldn't have any preachiness to it at all if it weren't.
