Wow...someone gets offended by a movie with an idea. Whodathunk??

That little fake robot is an outrage!

Outstanding use of alliteration, subby.
I bow to you.
/not worthy

Fabulous!

As soon as I read a couple reviews of WALL-E, I knew the fat acceptance movement would be all up in that piece.

What are you so unhappy about? You are the future!

I think you have to be a 28%er (lardass inherently implied) to be offended by WALL-E. I--and all the other fatasses in the theater--absolutely loved it.

Nifty bit of alliteration there, subby.

Wow. Just wow. Nice headline.

/so...not just wow, I guess

Here's how I read the headline:

Fearing fattism, flustered fatties fighting fictional films fiendish futuri f f f f f....ah fark it next thread.

Oh for christ sake. Every Disney or Pixar film has some sort of message. Just watch the damn movie & be entertained.

BobtheFascist: Oh for christ sake. Every Disney or Pixar film has some sort of message. Just watch the damn movie & be entertained.

I cannot overstate the THIS of this statement.

runs off to submit: people ping-pong probably prefer pastrami, petulantly professing preferences puritans prefer, people profess praising pinball. penis

now i just need to figure out what to link it too... hmmmm

/sure greenlight, right?

Since it has a 97% rating at RT and seems to be pissing off people I find annoying, perfect!

/I might see it
//maybe

It's only offensive because fat people are bad human beings for being fat.

They just don't want to admit it.

Just like are bad human beings for being part of that group.

/and if you're fat and find my statement offensive, what're you gonna do? Chase me down?

I sure ain't skinny, perfectly willing to admit it AND I agree with Pixar's approach here. Sometimes truth is just plain truth.

If you are fat AND actually offended by this movie, then have the darn guts to ditch your denial and actually DEAL WITH IT.

Also get yourself a sense of humor. One can become a better person that way.

ftw

"Oh, F!"

Far from feigned fatuousness, Fred's feathered Frisian fetishes found favor, flirtatiously flicking Franny's flexuous form. Flaxen fardels of fibril fantoccini fell floorward, former fears of frustration fell frontless. Forsooth, fixatedly facing foresaid's firmly fattening falchion's florid finial, Franny felt fulminant frissons of feral femininity. Fred's fleetly flitting fingers forayed forever further for forbidden fruit. Finally freed of fettering frocks, Franny's fodgel flesh flounced forth. Fred furrowed Franny's fallow, fertile fields fervently. Frenetically fanning frou-frou fueled Frigga's fettled fire. Fay Franny's fractured farthingale framed Freya's frolicsome Fauvist figural. Facetiously fabricated fabliau? Fancifully far-fetched fantasy? Fabulist's fatuously formalized fairy-tale? Forlorn friend, fidelity fetches fair, fain, fellowly flowers, fragrant founts of flagrant ferity.

Fin.

Wonderful headline!

So.... what does this mean for Disney stock?

Chariset: As soon as I read a couple reviews of WALL-E, I knew the fat acceptance movement would be all up in that piece.

What are you so unhappy about? You are the future!

There's a fat acceptance movement? Exactly what would constitute fat acceptance?

BobtheFascist: Oh for christ sake. Every Disney or Pixar film has some sort of message. Just watch the damn movie & be entertained.

Yes, but it makes people uncomfortable when the message isn't the traditional one that: women should be princesses waiting to be saved by men, and beautiful = good while ugly = evil.

Well, Disney anyway. I haven't seen enough Pixar films to know what their message is.

farking movie explained why they were fatties.

/Christ.

scalpod: "Oh, F!"...[lots of f words]...Fin.

Oh yeah? Well you're a festizio. See? I can make up words too!

The second half of the cartoon has naughty language in it...

Truth hurts

Plate of Crazy: There's a fat acceptance movement? Exactly what would constitute fat acceptance?

Stopping the stupid men world from trying to get fatties to loose 5 pounds from their butts.

God-damn that headline sucked. The first half worked, the second smacks of desperation. Don't try so hard next time.

I'm a fatty and I found those scenes in WALL*E to be very pointed. Seeing thousands of fatties (just like me) holding a bucket-like cup of sugary liquid (just like me) made me squirm in my seat a little. The truth is the truth, even if it hurts.

/obligatory

I saw Wall-E this afternoon.

There was a guy in the audience who was noticeably larger than the people on the ship. Made them look like triathletes...

I want to bear your children subby. Nice headline.

/nods approval
//got nothin' else

Should I be investing such that liberal guilt will get people to watch this movie regardless of how fat they are, or that bloated midwesterners will be so offended by it that they refuse to see it? Come on, it's just like keno except you can offend people by placing bets. The stock market is awesome.

I just got back from seeing WALL-E. Few fatties in the audience, compared to most movies I've seen in a cinema lately. I knew about this fat furor in advance so I was sorta keeping an eye out for fidgety fatties. Surprisingly slim and sensible souls in attendance for being at the mall. Maybe Fri night crowds don't match weekend day crowds. Dunno since I rarely go to either malls or cinemas.

Oh, and movie was very very good. The humans could have used some more detail and differentiation. I know that was part of the point but still.

I was saying "Waallll-ee" all the way home. Don't have it quite right yet.

it is called CONSEQUENCES people.... accept responsibility for your actions... I am stunned, udderly stunned that Undereducated Fat Republicans do not understand the SUBTEXT of a CHILDREN's MOVIE....


/GIS for Undereducated Fat Republicans

Cue the religious wackos who think Wall-E is homosexual in 3...2...1...

2bits: it is called CONSEQUENCES people.... accept responsibility for your actions... I am stunned, udderly stunned that Undereducated Fat Republicans do not understand the SUBTEXT of a CHILDREN's MOVIE....


/GIS for Undereducated Fat Republicans

He hee..definitely

Um, well...consider this, from Pixar's parent company...

"Small World ride revamped for bigger passengers...the Small World ride will be closed for almost a year...the problem, quite simply, is that the flume that the boats ride in...[was] designed and built...on the assumption that the male adult riders would average 175 pounds and the women about 135...The Small World ride now must accommodate adults who frequently weigh north of 200 pounds...Increasingly, overweighted boats get to certain points in the ride and bottom out, becoming stuck in the flume.



So, yeah, they might be making a LITTLE FUN of fat people.

GOD that was a good movie.

You can't arrange this headline by penis.

Am I the only one that thinks Wall-E looks like a mini-Johnny 5?

As a fattie I expect not to be offended by this movie. So farking stupid.

If you are fat and can't find the humor in being fat, get skinny. If you can't/won't lose the weight, then just DEAL WITH IT.

Besides, it's great fun to mess with people because most assume you're super touchy about it. While back, in a restaurant our waiter came back and said "I'm sure you guys have saved room for dessert." I looked at him with a deadpan face and said "Is that some kind of fat joke?" The look on his face was priceless. I started laughing, and told him I was just farking with him a bit. I gave him an extra tip, he looked like he was the one about to have a heart attack. These are the kinds of things you can do if you're not an idiot with a persecution complex.

Well I've seen the film and while the humans have all gotten fat, it's not just from poor diet and being lazy. The human race has been in space for 700 years because Earth is not habitable. AS the film briefly points out, their bone density has been severly lowerd from spending their whole life in the lower gravity of space. This really happens to astronauts to a lesser degree and NASA has studies going on right now on how to counter attack the effects of low gravity on astronauts bone density and msucles during future long space flights to other planets like Mars. The film is really good and works on many levels. It does have a message about how we as a species has not only lost touch with it's enviroment through it's blind consumption of resources, but with our own humanity as a result. It doesn't beat you over the head with this message though like Happy Feet did. It can be enjoyed as a sweet simple funny love story too.

Oh...but you just did.......scoundrel

JonnyBGoode: Am I the only one that thinks Wall-E looks like a mini-Johnny 5?

No. I was at Wondercon and someone asked the creator about that resemblance. He says it's just coincidence. Apparently he got the idea while bored at a baseball game when he was playing with a pair of binoculars.

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"

/headline made me think of this

Not since Arnold Schwarzenegger played the Terminator have I felt so emotionally attached to a robot.

JonnyBGoode:

Sure does, also the EVE looks like a Asimo robot designed by Apple.

And the boot sound for Wall-E is from a Mac.

from what I understand, they got the guy who did the sounds for R2D2 to do Wall-E. That guy was a rockstar.
A Rock. Star.

As a person from the "right" I can honestly say that I go to watch movies to be entertained. I've yet to come out of a movie having had an Epiphany (Well except maybe The Matrix and that Epiphany was more like "Wow, I need to see this stoned sometime" so I'm not sure that counts).

People just need to stop being offended by stupid shiat and just enjoy the film.

*You don't have the right to NOT BE OFFENDED - you don't like the movie, don't buy it on DVD.
