UPDATED w/3 word Wall-E review. Comment gumbo, new releases posted on website
Quick 3 word Wall-E review. Idiocracy for kids.
The reviews referencing Chaplin aren't far off either. Visually, some shots would be envied even if compared against future films like Blade Runner or a Terry Gilliam film. Why is it in the same weekend, the "hard" R-rated film Wanted has lines like "kill one, save thousands" and is mainly childish, while the Pixar film Wall-E is by and large one of the most subversive films this year, and its sneaking by for kids? Why is Pixar making more mature films than the films targeted to grown ups? Easily some of the best and most entertaining social commentary all with barely any dialogue to weigh it down for the most part.
Sam Fuller's Steel Helmet has a south korean character, a young kid, nicknamed short round who follows the lead actor around........short round, sound familiar? Damn you Steven Speilberg and George Lucas!
Meanwhile, one of the "local arthouse" cinemas is showing Get Smart, Sex and the City, and an indie film that is already out on dvd. Things are going well.
So George Carlin died. And I have to stare at his face everytime I walk into the New release corner on his boxset. A huge loss for pretty much everyone breathing.
On the up side, its raining heavily and that means you should be renting movies. New releases for july have been posted on the website. We have a slew of new stuff to the floor.
And despite the movie ripoff summer season of '08 being a doozy, we've still got over 6,000 movies that should wet your visual whistle.
Until the Dark Knight comes out in theaters next month, there isn't much playing, so come in and return/rent some movies. Take a sticker, buy a button, tell a friend.
Any shelf ideas for our middle room? Give us a shout.
Ice cream back in stock. Drinks will be swapped out next month for an undecided mix of beverages. But root beer will be back.
Don't forget we can order films to buy.
Remember to please update your information if you move or change numbers.
If you missed out on the email, these are new to the store floor.
