Harrogate has wanted to see this movie since he found out about it. The robot's cuteness is a big plus. Stories about loneliness are often very good as well. But now we find out, courtesy of Think Progress, that this movie has the conservatives pissed off.
This weekend, Pixar’s latest film “WALL-E” debuted at No. 1, earning $65 million at the box office. The film has been hailed by critics, scoring a whopping 97 percent “Fresh” rating on RottenTomatoes.
The film portrays a lonely robot’s quest for love, as he is left to clean up a trashed earth. Meanwhile, the over-indulged humans wait it out aboard gigantic spaceships run by a monolithic corporation-turned-government that “resemble spas for the fat and lazy.”
Somehow, this touching love story has outraged the radical right
And then comes a litany of quotations from pundits, guaranteed to scare you off of the WALL-E, in case you were hitherto interested in seeing it.
Harrogate, for his part, is glad he didn't spend his hard-earned money on this leftist propaganda. Michael Moore may as well have made it. Enviro-consciousness, anti-corporate rhetoric. Blech. Pixar appears now to have capitulated to the Liberal Orthodoxy that runs this country with a firm and unforgiving grip.
BTW: If anyone makes it to the movie, Harrogate would like to know just how moonbatty it is.
