Yeah the credits were one of my favorite parts. The fact that they went through from hieroglyphics to mosaic to impressionist, etc. etc. etc. in chronological order was pretty awesome.

Of course almost no one in the theater I was at bothered to stick around at all, but I guess the credits aren't of much interest to the little ones.

Don't get me wrong, folks.  I will admit to being a huge Peter Gabriel fan.  I was just trying to predict Tom's reaction.

I loved the closing credits.

I liked the Finding Nemo riff in the end credits (Was that the mosaic?)

Shit, chaps. I wasn't expecting such a glow about Wall-E. The trailer didn't whet any part of me.

I trust you all 100% though, for whenever it's out here.

Best romantic comedy since Punch Drunk Love, yes? 

It was more than romantic comedy, of course, but the love element of WALL-E caught me completely off guard.  The animation, probably the best animation ever committed to film, was the 11th best part of the movie.

I will try to describe my favorite moment without spoiling anything: the moment where she first saw what he had done for her.

OOF! That was the moment for me.

This is essentially the same thing, right?

The part that did it for me was when she was trying to jog his memory and she kinda hummed that song to him. I welled up.

Dorvid and I held hands involuntarily at several points during the movie.  That's right, we were on a date.

On the way home, I proposed marriage to a fire hydrant.

Given the unanimous praise so far, I can only assume Tom is going to rip into it.  "Why" is the question. Maybe:

1. Peter Gabriel song?
2. The voice of Jeff Garlin?
3. The presence of Fred Willard?

We shall see...

P.S. How dare I try to predict the opinion of Tommy Tornado?

Tom's latest update on Facebook suggests that I may not have been far off in my prediction...
