Um.

10 movies nominated for Best Picture? Of course, they do this the year after Wall-E and The Dark Knight possibly could have gotten in.

... of course, the last time there were 10 movies nominated for BP, Casablanca won. So, if we get a film that's as good as that to win, I'll be mighty pleased.

How is it that an animated, G-rated movie is so much less obvious and more complex than like 85% of the Oscarbait movies that come out?

HOLY CRAAAAP!

Wall-E is #6 on the IMDb top 250!

I know it's a dumb popularity contest but goddamn! I need to see this movie. I think I'm going some time this week! YAAAYYY!!!!!

I AM SO THERE.
