The AXIOM reminds me of the Medical Frigate at the end of Empire Strikes Back. While obviously inspired by HAL, Auto/Otto reminds me of two evil SW bots: the hovering torture droid from A New Hope and EV-9D9, that sadistic robot in Jabba's palace. Was anyone else tempted to scream at Auto when he was torturing Wall-E. I had to hold back from screaming "leave him alone, you bastard!" Oh and homyrrh and crazy dud: while I don't share your view of Travers, I confess to having a similar dislike for EW's Owen Glieberman. Yet that doesn't stop him from being annoyingly right on WALL-E. I hate that, heh. My favorite critic is A.O. Scott and I get this grudge against him when he knocks my love affairs with some films (though he also adored WALL-E). Likewise, when Travers said something like this was the best film of the year, I was questioning what right he had to finally get himself some credit. And I told you, spacemonkey. Best of the year, hands down. |
