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'm not a big fan of Glieberman myself. There really aren't too many critics I like. Ebert and and Scott are the only ones whose opinions can really influence me as to whether or not to see a film. |
