vivienHoly crow, it's hot as a firecracker out there, har har har.
No, seriously, it's hot.
I saw WALL-E yesterday with my six-year-old friend. I found it no preachier than Bambi leading kids to think, "Hmm, maybe hunting's not so great." It was very cute, and dystopian-lite with lots of room for hope in humankind. The very best part about it was asking six-year-old afterwards, "Who was your favorite character?" and hearing "The girl robot because she was cool. She was cool, indeed.
I also appreciate that there isn't a metric ton of WALL-E merchandise out there. Or at least there wasn't last weekend. Just a few books. Yay! ETA: Sadly, it is out there. It just wasn't at the Target where I shop.
I didn't do the "what you posted about on this day" meme, but I did look up the days. Three out of five entries warbled about Neil Gaiman books, and two out of five exhorted Milliways. I find this amusing and appropriate.
Happy 4th, fellow Americans. Stay safe out there on this Day of Patriotic Drinking and Setting Off of Explosives! *wry*
