After seeing the first six Pixar features theatrically I skipped Cars and Ratatouille thinking they didn't seem big enough for the theatre. The new WALL·E trailer tells me that's about to change.
Aww, but both Cars and Ratatouille were great.
In any case, WALL-E looks like another masterpiece from Pixar.
Yeah. I didn't skip the theatre because I didn't think they would be good. I skipped it because I didn't think they were "big" enough. I still haven't seen Cars but I did see Ratatouille and Ratatouille is one of my favorite Pixar films now.
It looks really original, i'm afraid that means it could flop.
Good movies flop all the time! I don't care if it flops just if it's good. :-)
I do care.
If I like something then I want other people to like it. I want it to be successful.
Not too successful, mind you. I dislike being "mainstream."
In that way I suppose I'm like everyone else. Drat!
OK, maybe I put it too glibly. I do care if it flops but it's not going to effect my enjoyment of it.
I GUARANTEE it won't flop. All the dumbest people I know want to see it, which is the biggest predictor of box office success I've run into yet.
(Not that the intelligent people don't want to see it either - they do - I just find that the interest of the stupid is the best predictor of commercial success).
What i'm afraid is, that if it flops, original projects like this one, won't be greenlighted anymore.
Well, so far, Pixar's biggest "flop" so to speak was A Bug's Life at $162,000,000 domestic. I predict that WALL·E will make more than that.
