Wall-E is a 1st Generation Mac that Falls In Love With An iPod - How’s that Possible?

Talk about having to expand your mental schema around inter-species relationships. In the film Wall-E (adorable Pixar-Disney flick, btw), the film’s title character, a robut named Wall-E, falls in love with Eve, who is another robot that inhabits the form of a a sleek, whitish veneered androgynous (suppository-ish) Apple-looking product. Now Wall-E is a junky, vintage object, but even he even reboots himself each morning with the sound of a Mac starting up, so it’s clear the old chap is a bonafide Apple product (maybe an Apple IIe?). All this Apple love is no coincidence as the film’s computer generated voices were the product of Apple. Did you happen to see the trailers too?

You Have A Kid And It All Goes Down Hill

The formerly hip Adam Sandler, star of the film we were just raving about is set to star in a Disney film directed by Hairspray’s Adam Shankman. The former “Billy Madison” star will be portraying a yuppie whose “Bedtime Stories” he tells his niece and nephew start to come true.

Final Verdict: I’m not going to pay the $10 for price of admission, but I might have to Netflix this one for when my own niece and nephews come to town.
