Okay, Pixar…
Okay.
Seriously, you got to stop doing this.
This is the third time I’ve had to find a covert way to catch one of your movies in the theatre. The first time I purchased a ticket for Kill Bill vol. 1 and snuck in the theatre to watch Finding Nemo afterwards. The second time, I feigned interest in The Incredibles so my (then) girlfriend could “drag” me to watch it. Now, I’ve hit an all time low. I’ve used my cousins to watch Wall-E. I, literally, volunteered to take them to the movies so I could watch it. I don’t even know if they wanted to see it…
The fact of the matter is --- I can’t keep living like this. I’m a man of little shame at this point. I’m open about the obsession with comic books. I have the Spider-Man tattoo on my arm. I run to go see stuff like 300, Indian Jones 4, Iron Man and Lord of the Rings the first day it comes out. I’ve denied studying to play Metal Gear Solid until the wee hours of the morning. Hell, I even saw Spider-Man 1, in the theatre, 3 times in 24 hours. I’m not a mature person. I know this. But there is just something about a grown man sneaking off to watch Disney films that is too much to admit.
Now I’m using family just so I can watch Wall-E without hiding my face. But to make matters worse, I liked it so much I want to watch it again in the theatre! Y’know, without those damned little cousins of mine cheering and crying next to me (while I cheer and cry).
You really got to stop making movies this good. What is your secret? Do you write these stories by committee? Because Wall-E is way too good to be from one person’s mind. Like the part where he understands what a fork is and what a spoon is but doesn’t understand a spork! Or how there is no dialogue for the first 30 minutes of the movie! Or the whole subtext about complacency and how humans take things for granted because technology can provide so many solutions! #*@%ing Brilliant!
I’m thinking about it now! I got 3 more cousins! I can make them go see it next!
