I dunno, I found Wall-e to be cute and it had enough sci-fi/nerd references to make me laugh every couple minutes... but did you look at the competition? Dark Knight and an episode of Stargate Atlantis? I mean, couldn’t they even have found at least *one* episode of BSG that could have replaced one of those, or something from Doctor Who (did ‘Blink’ air recently enough?), or ANYTHING else?

I did not look at the competition, but my kids hated Wall-E so I was shocked it won. Plus, I hated the idea that we trashed the earth. Did you see all those wasted resources?

The only way it could of happened is government. No entrepreneur in his right mind could pass up all that free money trapped in garbage.

My kids complaint was that it did not suspend their belief. They did not say it that way, but they couldn't believe a bunch of infantile fatties could ever make it back to take over earth. We did laugh in a couple of spots, though.

Worse, I saw it in the theater and it cost like $65 with popcorn,etc. Maybe on DVD and with homemade popcorn it would have been better. Wasn't worth the price and I haven't been to a theater since. Won't go anymore either.
