Sure, and it was terrible times when the robots had the run of our blessed Ireland. What with their clankin' and beepin' and swishin' around like some gold-plated interior designer, it were near impossible to have a moment's peace.
Thank the heavens above the blessed Dom Patricius found his way to our island. He took one look at those benighted automatons and said "Be off with you! We'll not have our evening's drinking spoiled by your attempts at wryly whimsical comic relief!"
And so the cursed androids made their way across the seas to far off California's shores, where they awaited the coming of the Spielberg and Katzenberg and all the rest o' them Bergs. And Ireland ever after knew peace and the grace of our dear Lord and Savior, amen. *belch*
@Spirit Fingers: I am embarrased to admit how heartbreaking I found that scene.. played me like a puppet emotionally! But that's why it's such a fine movie; it really made one care.
This is Oscar's favorite trick. He waits until the prize is overdue, and then gives it to ya for your least appealing work. This way you know you deserved it, but everyone else gets support for their give me a break argument.
Yes, I know Oscar isn't one dude. (kicks dust around)
I thought Wall-E was the best movie of the year by far. It was gorgeous to look at, laugh-at-loud funny, and sweetly romantic. To me, it represented the purest form of "motion picture" - the epitome of visual, emotional (but also thoughtful) storytelling. It won't win Best Picture, but it would deserve to.
@llililill: agreed. i appreciated it because at least the nolans tried to rise above the comic book dreck. however, it still had a lot of problems. too long, choppy editing in the first act, and the ending? meh. and i know i'm going to get hosed for this, i thought ledger was okay. not legendary. just okay. he should get nominated but downey jr. should win it.
but then again, these are the oscars. so fuck it all.

Leprechauns = total tossers.
We should take their Lucky Charms and then kick their wee green asses.

The Dark Knight (for bitter Neo-Cons)
W. (for a still-bitter nation)
MILK (for bitter gays)
Wall-E (for largely successful environmentalists still working through their bitterness)
Revoluntionary Road (for bitter Kate Winslet fans)
