Why is this movie so good? I've watched it more than any other movie over the years but it never seems to get old...

He was a good character, even if he was introduced pretty late in the movie

shit movie is shit, grow a taste

Nigger, you have really shitty fucking taste

The reason I say this is because you seem to have ignored the first movie Brad Bird did for PIXAR, The Incredibles, the best PIXAR film and one of the greatest CG movies ever made

I think you missed the mark twice, my critical cousin.

Spend ten minutes in a Wal-Mart or a Golden Corral anywhere and you'll realize Wall·e is a painfully accurate portrayal of what life is like under rampant consumerism. The humans aboard the Axiom were not stupid, just unchallenged and soft since automated systems provided everything from food to entertainment to them at a moment's desire. All the "ambitious" humans probably tried to tough it out on Earth and died after a while.

The message of the film (which Anton Ego actually spells out) is that the average piece of junk is more valuable than the criticism designating it so. This means that for all the bitching and moaning people do, at least someone created something that didn't exist before and they learned in the process. It's less risky to worry about the execution instead of just going ahead and trying in the act of creation.

Anton Ego had been so wrapped up in the fun practice of writing as a food critic that he was shaken to his core when a rat turned out to be a great chef. He realized that although not everyone is talented in everything, it's unfair to dismiss any particular person or institution because they could be skilled in something one wouldn't imagine.

I think your time would be better spent creating instead of criticizing. It's not that your criticism is unwarranted, but for all you've learned from others mistakes it seems silly you're publicizing them instead of making something superior to draw fame away from them.

I've seen brilliant directors/critics who couldn't actually do their craft for shit.

A keen eye (and/or pallet in this case) is a completely separate thing from having the talent itself.

I should have prefaced: I'm an actor at a pretty good theater university and I mingle with all types in the program. So it's common to see people who specialize in a certain discipline dabble in related ones. A good friend of mine is a director and quite the critic if you give him the reason to be, but honestly he's really hit and miss as an actor. He's a born straight man who wants to play the funny guy.

The Incredibles is overrated, but I agree that it's the best Pixar movie.
Top three for me would be Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Finding Nemo.

Thanks for replying, I never met someone like that but if he actually helps you with his commentary then all the power to him.

I honestly do not understand the love for this flick. It's one of Pixar's weakest movies. The characters are unlikeable and I quickly found myself rooting for the villains.
