Uh, even though I started the discussion about the box office, I don't care about box office numbers one bit. Actually, the only reason I mentioned it is because you said it was getting negative reviews all over the place and was looking to become a flop. I've read one bad review about Wall-E and that was from Kurt Loder. To bad he's a has been.
are you referring to me? name or show me 1 single instance where i said it had 'negative' reviews.....it IS A FLOP , compared to other PIXAR films,
that's my point.......
OK

no pixar slipped up, and the public (not that i care) also seems to think so,
have you seen the ratings/reviews/box office? hardly a dent..................and
the long term implications don't looks so great either........
To me, that reads as you're saying it got negative reviews. There ya go.

to each their own. i thought it was awesome, and so did others, enough to make an IMAX version, think that will happen to wall-e? doubt it..
I have yet to see a second IMAX movie (AOTC was the first and only one), so whether it gets an IMAX version or not doesn't mean a thing to me.

i did catch the reference, so what? (and yes i've watched 2001).....................i know what the movie is about, and what the plot points were,
they don't need to be rehashed.............. since HAL knew that no matter if a plant was found or not, it didn't really matter whether eve found
one or not, they weren't going to investigate it anyways.....that's why it was a coverup....
Well, I doubt it was intended as a coverup. To use your logic, the machines were given orders to send probes every so often looking for life. Then the President says not to bother coming back, but he doesn't say to stop sending the probes. Now maybe the machines figured they had the humans under control for good, so there's no reason to go back, but I think that's a stretch. The machines pretty much had to wait on the humans hand and foot all day long and clean up after them, so the only reason I'd see for not going back is to follow the President's order to the letter, despite evidence to the contrary (not to mention the passage of time). That and the extreme HAL reference just screams "conflicting orders" to me and that's why they didn't want to go back.

2) this has nothing to do with Star Wars , please keep the focus on this movie's universe....
Yeah, because this movies universe is so much more different than any other fictional universe. We have machines that wait on us hand and foot and all that. Riiiiight.

3) the cockroach was pretty much symbolic of the REAL COMPANION for the whole movie, who actually belonged with trash, and junk, and refuse....and who does wall-e have as a friend?, yeah, a cute'n'cuddly cockroach...............i'm sure they'll be plush versions for the kids (gag).....
Awesome! That'll go along with my plush headcrab perfectly (which my son also loves)!

so Robots had a drop, but 48%? and as i keep saying, compared to other PIXAR films, which is the scope of this reference, this is extremely bad considering
the rest of the movie field......................THERE is NO WAY that dvd/home sales will make up for the rest of the revenue....
Says you. It wouldn't be the first time in history that a film didn't do well at the box office but then had great home video sales.
Most of what they listed at that site are simply mistakes, not huge glaring plot holes. And again, so what? Does every movie have to be perfect in order to not be bad? Give me a break.
Wall-E was fun and enjoyable. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it (like you seem to not enjoy most Pixar movies). Pixar movies make me feel like a kid again. I'd say they're doing their job just fine.
