Wall-E

I don't care that it's meant to be a kids movie.
 
I don't care that it's out of sync for most of it, on my computer.
 
I don't care that it has a huge "Evaluation Copy" water-mark splashed across the front of it.
 
It's still one of the greatest animated movies of our time.
 
And I still want to cry throughout the entire last half our of it.
 
It's such a sad movie. :(
 
Probably better not watch it in the library again, where I have to keep pausing so I don't burst into tears and get weird looks.
 
Poor EVE. Poor Wall-E. Poor cockroach (This may very well be the only time I ever say that).
 
Wall-E did nothing wrong and he gets attacked for it and almost completely destroyed to the point of having his memory banks wiped.
 
I wouldn't mind a real copy, that doesn't have "Evaluation Copy" splashed across the front. And having it in sync would be sort of nice as well.
 
Doesn't really matter, I guess. Still makes me want to cry.
 
-----
 
That raises another point...
 
The last time I wanted to cry during a movie after Wall-E was in Bolt.
 
Why do I only get sad at Disney animated movies?
 
I feel sad during normal movies, but not to the point of crying. That's only reserved for Disney animated movies.
 
(I think there's something wrong with me)

Which leads us to another lyrically attuned blog post this week, although I decided to scrap the idea of making it completely random. (And here I was thinking I'd have nothing to say, hence the lyrics. Guess I proved myself wrong.)
 
Papercut - Linkin Park
 
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
 
(Chorus)
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
 
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
 
(Chorus x2)
 
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
 
The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)
 
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)
 
Chorus (Repeat until end) -----
 
Lunch was delicious. For Canteen food. Poorly constructed Shepherd's Pie.
 
I guess we need to go back to watching Wall-E again. :D
