Wall.E

Pixar is at it again! Pixar applaud themselves for doing a fine job with Wall-E. The show is terrific!

I had this odd idea that Wall-E was an old comic series like Batman or Spiderman. But I was wrong! It’s a brand new animation altogether except for perhaps the once in a while subtle appearance in prior Pixar films like Monster Inc or Cars.

So Mr. Wall-E or Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class is a robot assigned to compact waste. He falls in love with Eve. I like the first few moments of communication where Eve tries to pronounce her name in syllabetic fashion. But the funniest part of the movie was to see the humans in their tiny little automated seats. It’s like a mockery on how lazy humans have become over the years which I actually agree! But how the little babies actually are made given that humans have actually forgotten about dating and marriage and all that stuff erm is a little too complex to comprehend. Not important information anyway.

But Wall-E is a lovely watch!

BR: This is how it happened

A few months ago, I was browsing the Chinese book shop at Cathay and chance upon a girly book series called Little Black Dress Books. Fun fiction for the girl at heart. True marketing genuis I thought.

So I picked up a couple of books from the series and have been reading since then.

First up, the only one I have managed to complete - This is how it happened. The story goes that Maddy is plotting a pay-back-revenge on her ex-fiance who stole her marketing ideas and kicked her out when he finally got hold of the company. She first starts off with simple witch spells and then hires a hit-man. What I like best about this story is that the chapters ding-dong between 1) what did the fiance do to maddy and 2) maddy’s plots. Rather refreshing way of writing. But well, like all girly books, the girl wins beating the poor lad and it’s hooray for the reader!
