I went to see Wall-E with Gem last night, and instead of launching into a huge raving review, I'm gonna say
YOU HAVE TO SEE IT YOUR LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT
And leave it at that.
Also, I may have fallen a little bit in love with the (technically) female lead, EVE. You'll understand when you see her in action.
So, the pure, unbridled brilliance that was Wall-E really made my night. The guys at work were kind enough to let me leave early, Gem and I snuck miniature bottles of Jack Daniels into the theeyaytah and dumped 'em in our Big-Glug Diet Cokes (heaven!) and that really helped! Also, I've found a kindred cinema spirit in young Gem in that aside from me, she's the only person I've met who intentionally sits front-row-centre at the pictures BECAUSE WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR NECK WHEN THE SCREEN'S THIS BIG and we actually got a laugh and a smiley conversation from the pretty ticketmistress when we started raving about how being front and centre is the best.
Well think about it, the screen's MASSIVE when you're that close, there's no-one sitting in front of you to get in your way, AND you can take your shoes off, stretch your legs out and slump comfortably into your chair, thus avoiding potential neck-ache! Plus, you don't have to fiddle and fumble for anything you've brought with you because you've got the entire floor to use!
Also, Gem pointed out that when you're in the front (and the only people at the front, like we were) you can pretend the rest of the cinema doesn't exist! It's just you, the screen and EVE..
..she was lovely. For a robot, of course.
Right, I'm going to go and see if anyone'll accept blood as payment for a Carling Festival ticket.
Have a nice day!
P.S. If anyone knows how many souls it would cost me to get a pair of these badboys, let me know!
