Pixar movie Wall-E

This weekend we figured that we would take our 4 year old to go see this movie. I was pretty excited since it was a Pixar movie. Usually they produce really good movies but I left feeling that it wasn't their best work. Maybe it is a movie that has to grow on you with time. Kind of like Kill Bill. Ha! Thats a funny comparison. Anyway, I guess I was disappointed since they jumped on the "Green" ban wagon basically. Don't get me wrong. I really like the idea behind being green but I can't stand that now it is basically a sell out maneuver.

HBO ran a George Carlin's comedy marathon yesterday. He sure is talented and I find it amazing how consistent his material is. He carries content over from one show to the next as if he was having a conversation with his audience. It also amazes me how after all the many years he was a stand up comic that he didn't change his opinion about anything from his previous routines. That part seemed questionable to me. I think the best part of his routines was when he would dissect what certain phrases mean. That was hysterical. The guy was an expert with language.

Today I added a link to my Pandora stations. I just bought some songs on Itunes from "TV on the Radio", "Laika" and "Bon Iver."
