I can’t say I ever remember being excited for the release of a G-rated movie… not that I attach much importance to ratings anyway, especially after watching This Film Is Not Yet Rated. But the point is: there’s a G-rated movie coming to town, and I’m excited for it. Just so happens that it’s animated. Yep, I’m really pumped for the release of a G-rated, animated movie. How old am I? A grizzled 28.

Pixar hasn’t let me down yet, and I’m expecting big things from Wall*E. When I’m looking forward to a film, I try to avoid all reviews until after I’ve seen it, but I noticed that AV Club gave it an A. They also published an interview with Andrew Stanton, the film’s writer/director.

Mel and I learned our lesson from going to see The Incredibles opening night in NYC, and this time we probably won’t smuggle in 2 giant cans of Sapporo each (way too much liquid for a comfortable viewing experience), but we’ll be there. Oh yes, we’ll be there.

It’s getting amazing reviews, and seems to be in the vein of Blood Simple and Fargo. On another note, when I mentioned this to Mel, she said she’s never actually seen Fargo, so that’s on the rental list. Perfect winter-time viewing… maybe I’ll add A Simple Plan to the list and we’ll make it a wintery-midwest-murder-movie-mix.
