I liked it a lot. Visually it was really fantastic. Though for me the story didn't resonate as much as the two Brad Bird movies, it was definitely a top tier Pixar movie, which puts it at the top of the food chain.

I can't be the only one who found Fred Willard a little too on the nose, though, right?

Michael Ian Black had mixed feelings -

I don't know why that would matter to anyone.

He has some points.

BUT. I bought his stand-up album a few weeks ago and was left disappointed. Unlike WALL-E. Therefore, moot.*





*Okay, not really I guess.

Him and Michael Showalter aren't too great with stand-up. I don't think they've both been doing it for too long and are more familiar with sketch work. I still think they can be funny doing stand-up but no where as funny with Stella or the State.

I kind of liked the Michael Ian Black CD.  But the Michael Showalter one?  Yikes!

Fun tip, English majors:  Michael Showalter is *the* Showalter's son!

I didn't mind him mostly, but the audience bothered me a lot, for whatever reason.

I do love the Stella internet shorts and a lot of their stuff in general though.

I liked Michael Showalter's routine about his high school poem, but that comes more from the awfulness of the poem than anything he added.

I liked Showalter and Black's albums.  Showalters was a lot better though.

Humor's subjective, of course, but I think Showalter's pretty good at stand-up. I've seen him live twice, and he didn't fail to crack me up either time. His album, though, is terrible. Really really terrible. I think it might be because his best live stuff is all improvised, just feeding off of the audience and hecklers. You don't really get that on the album except for the cat thing, and even that's not him at his best.

Black isn't nearly as good, but he's not bad.

Sorry to be so off-topic. I'm planning on seeing Wall-E this weekend.

I only know Michael Ian Black from VH1's myriad "I Love the..." shows, and he never fails to make me want to punch him in the face. Obnoxious and so NOT funny, at least on there. Maybe his sketch and standup work is different.

I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Back on topic, though, apparently not everyone is in love with Wall-E:
