Capone has the list for tomorrow's Chicago AICN screening of WALL-E!!!

think its about time... by blckmgk13	Jun 24th, 2008 10:59:46 AM
...you get some Canadian correspondents and offer these same premier screenings north of the 49 parallel. Just saying, most of your movies are made up in Vancouver or Toronto anyhow.
Congrats... by blckmgk13	Jun 24th, 2008 11:00:39 AM
... to those who did make the list though. Wall-E can still go either way I think. Gold or garbage.
Wall-E is Pixar's third worst film. by jrbarker	Jun 24th, 2008 11:05:35 AM
I'd put it just ahead of A Bug's Life and Cars. Which means it's still good. But it doesn't match their best work.

dang

moving to CA by ciroslive	Jun 24th, 2008 11:17:53 AM
I'm moving there in August from midwest. Hopefully there are more screenings there after I've moved...
I got the confirmation email, but I'm not on the guest list! by JackLint	Jun 24th, 2008 11:30:12 AM
what do I do?
Saw it... it's not that good. by Kid Idioteque	Jun 24th, 2008 11:43:24 AM
I agree that it's one of the worst Pixar films. Liked it, it's fun, but that's about it. Not close to mindblowing. I sent in a review but apparently they're obeying that embargo... oh well. Please people, lower your expectations.
Hell no. by grungies	Jun 24th, 2008 11:53:38 AM
Lower my expectations? For a movie primed to exceed them? To hell with that! This'll be the best movie of the year.
To hell with the naysayers by Rickey Henderson	Jun 24th, 2008 01:06:55 PM
You're a cold hearted bastard if this movie doesn't charm the pants off you. Rickey's only seen the trailers, but this looks like an innovative, smart, and fun movie.
Why declare it's the best movie of the year before seeing it? by jrbarker	Jun 24th, 2008 01:34:26 PM
That's just stupid. And it sets up unrealistic expectations. I was hoping it would be the best Pixar film ever. It wasn't. Not even close. But definitely it's still a fun movie worth watching. That isn't naysaying. It is just giving an honest and measured reaction.
Why does PIXAR get away with ripping off johnn by KurtLockwood	Jun 24th, 2008 02:11:23 PM

JOHNNY 5??? by KurtLockwood	Jun 24th, 2008 02:11:53 PM
sorry for doublepost.
I was at the Chicago screening last night... by thedust2010	Jun 24th, 2008 02:22:37 PM
... and I'm happy to report it does NOT disappoint in any way. This movie's very special. I was worried coming in how kids would receive it but the kids in the audience were engaged throughout. Visually stunning. Emotionally powerful. Hilarious. And yes, it's one of the cutest damn movies you will ever see. And it's actually ABOUT something. And not just one thing. It tackles a whole slew of themes you would never expect from a "kids" movie. One of the best of 2008 for sure.
Well, I got my hopes up. by Bagheera	Jun 24th, 2008 03:28:23 PM

by Bagheera	Jun 24th, 2008 03:28:44 PM
I guess i can think of other things to do on my birthday.
Thanks Capone! by Exile236	Jun 24th, 2008 03:30:37 PM
Woohoo! We can't wait to see it tomorrow night! ~Tommy C.
Thanks Capone by PLUM SMUGGLER	Jun 24th, 2008 04:15:04 PM
I am looking forward to tomorrow. We live in the burbs so in addition to this being my daughters first movie in a theater, this will be her first trip to the Chi.
Saw WallE... didn by Capt Cook	Jun 24th, 2008 04:50:12 PM

Saw Wall E... didn't like it :( by Capt Cook	Jun 24th, 2008 04:51:39 PM
Had high hopes, but it did not deliver. Still better than Cars though.
TO the negative reviewers by Sequitur	Jun 24th, 2008 05:55:37 PM
OH I get it! WALL-E is getting popular and getting raves...so now you are "going against the grain" You are all so cool. Why don't you all come out and say how much you love "Meet the Spartans" or "Disater Movie" Thats being different on the internet too!
Haven't seen yet but... by JackIsLost	Jun 24th, 2008 06:08:49 PM
I am starting lose wood, especially after seeing that 3 min clip where Wall-E gets shot into space and Eve chases after him. I dunno, it's look more kiddie, in line with CARS, with a heavy-handed eco-message... Hope I'm wrong though.
JackIsLost by ZapRowsdower	Jun 24th, 2008 06:34:06 PM
NO FUCKING SHIT IT SEEMED LIKE A KIDS MOVIE...IT IS A FUCKING KIDS MOVIE. With that said, I will go see this movie, my first Pixar movie that I willfully want to see.
Got 2 Thumbs up on Roeper and Someone by Maxer	Jun 24th, 2008 07:43:25 PM
He said it was one of the best movie of the year so far, and definitely the best of the summer. I'm excited for the I am Legend/Castaway section more than anything, honestly.
it figures by junjunm3	Jun 24th, 2008 08:01:42 PM
It's a fact of life. Some can't stand seeing others excited and happy for something and instead of just letting them be, they stick their nose in and try and ruin everything for them.
by junjunm3	Jun 24th, 2008 08:03:03 PM
these naysayers are probably jilted Indy fans who saw their franchise crash and burn with the 4th installment. Now they are turning their attention to others. After Wall-e, they'll turn their attention to the Dark Knight.
"PIXAR" and "Worst" cannot be used by PowerRing	Jun 25th, 2008 10:13:17 AM
In the same sentence. Mediocre, poor, bad, worst are words that simply don't apply. That is, unless you are saying "Pixar's wall-E beat the love guru this month at the box office in the worst way." I totally dismiss any pixar haters as hardcore assholes that have no life, and have obviously been dateless their whole life.
"lower your expectations" sounds like backlash to me. by minderbinder	Jun 25th, 2008 03:20:45 PM
This is getting great reviews already. Some people just want to be the voice of dissent. Some people will expect the second coming and be disappointed because no movie could meet an impossible expectation. I'm psyched. I'm just going to go in and have a blast. And no, I'm not going to lower my expectations at all - this is PIXAR.
Thanks Capone by MediaNerd	Jun 26th, 2008 12:12:55 PM
Saw it last night. I came in with huge expectations being an animation/pixar fan and based on the previews and was not disappointed in the least. It was a great movie! Also its a great example of how animation when done right can tell a story and express emotions without the need for dialogue.
