WALL·E
Daily Photo
I took Steven to see WALL·E on its opening weekend. I loved it. Steven -- not so much. The lack of dialogue was just too much for his restless mind to endure. He wanted to leave 10 minutes in, but I held firm. When he fell asleep 10 minutes later, I cheered inside, as did the man sitting next to him, I'm sure.
When he woke during the credits, he delightfully shouted "That was a great movie! What happened?" A film critic, he is not. If he was, he'd tell you the sound was fantastic and the visuals were nothing short of stunning. But what would you expect from Pixar? I can't wait to watch it on my home theater, which for some reason sounds better than most cinemas. Maybe because any popcorn-crunching near my ear will only be done by me.
Since that weekend if we see a sight such as this, whether it be binoculars, a viewfinder, or a center channel speaker, Steven shouts "WALL·E, WALL·E!" as if he actually enjoyed the movie. And yes, I broke down and got him the licensed WALL·E bubble bath that we came across at the grocery store this past weekend. I'm such an enabler.
