Monday's movie: Wall·E. If you're going to see a movie about a space traveling, lovestruck, junk sculptor robot, make sure it's this one. Gorgeous and sweet and funny, as you'd expect from Pixar. I didn't love it quite as much as I loved Ratatouille but it's right up there. Make sure you get there on time for the opening short ("Presto"), which is hilarious. And don't walk out before the credits, which include a stunning history of art, Pixar-style, and then highlights of the movie, done all 8-bit.
A few other things below the cut. Spoiler-ish, not of the plot so much as of moments that are worth having when you see the movie.
Just three little things that I really loved:
1. the scene set to Louis Armstrong singing "La Vie en Rose"
2. Auto has HAL's glowing red "eye"
3. when Wall·E reboots he makes the Mac startup sound
