(Archive) Animated movie of the day: WALL·E (2008)

Originally posted: January 12nd, 2022 Yeah, we had to talk about Pixar at some point. While every movie goes through multiple iterations and changes over development, Pixar takes the concept to the extreme, with pitches that see the light of day pretty much over a decade from their first showing. This often leads to movies that are polished to a T in almost every aspect, which is the case here…sort of.

While I do consider this environmentalist piece a very nice film, with gorgeous visuals, endearing characters and a great sound design, I feel divided about its structure, themes, and just how it ends up as a whole.

Sure, every plot thread is connected, but this film clearly has two very different presentation styles and even in repeated viewings I can't help but feel the abrupt shift from a wordless narrative of a garbage collecting Earth robot bonding over time with a probe unit from space, and the high action/comedy heroics of the second. I like both for different reasons(preferring the first half) but the way they're integrated clashes a bit in my eyes, even if it may be an artistic choice of ironic contrast (the Earth is silent and Space is now noisy).

And then there's the themes. It's environmental discussion(and many other social criticisms it has), while ever relevant, feels undermined by Disney's greed. I can agree with the message(or at least the core ideas) but it's hard to not feel a bit conflicted. It's exploration of nostalgia is striking in it's simplicity though. With just a few images it says so much about this concept.

So, do I love something about the film without caveats? Well, WALL-E itself. This romantic of a robot is such lovable protagonist, and its caring nature is infectious. The relationship it has with EVE is so wholesome too, because it is defined by that attention and care.

I may not think the final blend of it's ingredients is seamless or flawless, but there's definitely a heart to it that makes it an uplifting watch.

Puppy Love - Chapter 7

After having some major computer issues, I was finally able to sit down and write today!!

@northern-neighbor @chickensarentcheap @oscars-wifeyyy

A/N:  Buckle up, buttercups.  This one is going to be wild.

New FCs for this chapter: Jo Trager is Katey Sagal and Denver Trager is Kim Coates (Gemma and Tig together in my own way)

TW: violence

The knock on the door startled Charlotte who had been curled up on the couch reading a book.  

“I got it!”  Nathan yelled from the kitchen and barreled into the living room, flinging open the front door.

“It’s probably just Jonah.”  Charlotte muttered under her breath.

“Oh fuck,” Nathan whisper-shouted.

“Is that any way to speak to your mother?” Jo Trager snarked as she pushed her way past her son and entered the house.

“You don’t seem very excited to see us,” Denver Trager noted as he followed his wife.

“Mom? Dad?  What are you doing here?”  Charlotte asked, standing from the couch.

“Why the fuck did we have to hear that you got stabbed from Jeff?”  Jo demanded, hugging her daughter.

Charlotte winced.  “I was going to tell you.”

“Well, you didn’t.  I had to hear from him that you almost died.”  Jo released her daughter from the hug and hugged her son.

“It’s not that dramatic, Mom.”  Charlotte huffed.

“It was that dramatic, though.” Nathan released his mom.

“He also said you were having delusions and you had him arrested.”  Denver hugged his daughter gently, placing a kiss on her head.

“That wasn’t a delusion.  That actually happened, too.”  Nathan shrugged.  His mom slapped him on the back of the head.  “Wow, Mom!  What the fuck?”  He rubbed the sore spot.

“That’s for you not picking up the fucking phone and calling us yourself!”  Jo snapped.

“What was I supposed to say? ‘Hey, I know you love Jeff and all but he tried to kill Charlotte so maybe don’t love him anymore’?” Nathan huffed.

“That would be a fucking start.”  Jo growled.

“Nathan, why don’t you go make some coffee?  Let’s sit down and I’ll explain everything.”  Charlotte sighed.

“What are we doing here?” Jackson West asked his training officer as they pulled up to an unfamiliar house.  There had been no calls that had come over the radio.

“Friend texted me,” Doug Stanton said.  “His girlfriend hasn’t been answering her phone.  He asked me to do a welfare check.”   Doug put the shop in park and started to get out of the car.  The address was familiar to Jackson but he didn’t know why.  Doug stopped him at the walkway leading up the house.  “You can wait here.”

Jackson nodded curtly and watched his T.O. walk up to the door and knock.  He pulled his phone out so he could text Lucy about how it was bullshit that he was waiting on the sidewalk.  

“Can I help you?”  A man Jackson didn’t recognize answered the door.

“I’m looking for Charlotte Trager.”  Doug answered.  As soon as Jackson heard the name, he quickly scrolled through his contacts, and tapped Lucy’s name

“And who are you?”  The man asked.

Doug scoffed and gestured to his uniform.  “I think it’s pretty apparent who I am.”

“What do you want with my sister?” 

“We got a call from a concerned friend that they hadn’t been able to reach Charlotte.  They asked us to check on her to make sure she’s okay.”  Doug smirked.

“Jackson,” Lucy answered smiling.  “How’s it going?”

“I’m texting you my location.  You need to get here now.”  Jackson said quickly.

“Why?  What’s going on?”  Lucy immediately became concerned and shot Tim a look.

“Doug said his friend asked us to do a welfare check on his girlfriend.”  Jackson explained.

“I’m putting you on speakerphone.  Say that again.”  Lucy held the phone out so Tim could hear as well.

“Doug told me that his friend texted him  to do a welfare check on his girlfriend.”  Jackson repeated.

“What’s so concerning about that?”  Tim asked, confused.

“Because he’s doing a welfare check on Charlotte.”  Jackson answered.

“If you don’t let me talk to Charlotte, I will arrest you for obstruction!”  Doug shouted. 

“What’s happening?”  Lucy asked as Tim turned the shop’s lights and sirens on headed for Nathan’s house.

“The guy who answered the door won’t let Doug talk to Charlotte.”  Jackson sighed.

“Jackson, try to calm him down.  Don’t let him arrest anybody.  We’re on our way.”  Tim barked.

“Easier said than done.”  Jackson said as he hung up the phone.  “What seems to be the problem?”  He asked walking up to the house.

“I told you to stay on the sidewalk!”  Doug snarled.

“Maybe I can help.”  Jackson shrugged.  “Sir,” he turned his attention to the man standing in the doorway, “I’m Officer Jackson West. I’m a friend of Officer Chen’s.  Would it be okay if I talked to Charlotte?”  

“I’m not letting anybody in my house that says they’re here on her ex-boyfriend’s business.”  The man replied.

“You have ten seconds to let me in so that I can talk to her or I am placing you under arrest.”  Doug got into the man’s face.

“Mmm,”  the man hummed.  “I’m pretty sure the law says that I don’t have to let you into my house without a warrant.”  

“Sir,” Jackson attempted again, “would you please let me in just to check on her?  All I have to do is lay on her and make sure she’s okay.”

“You said you’re a friend of Lucy’s?”  The guy asked.

“I am.”  Jackson affirmed.

“You can come in.  Your friend here has to stay outside.”  

“You’re not going in there alone.”  Doug glowered.  “Officer safety.”

“Fine.  Then neither of you are coming in and you can tell that rat bastard to take his fake welfare checks and shove them up his lily-white ass.”

“I am warning you,” Doug snarled.

“I’m fine.” Charlotte said, pushing past Nathan to stand on the porch in front of Doug.  Jackson couldn’t  help but notice the hatred burning in her eyes.

“Are you Charlotte Trager?”  Doug asked.

“You know that I am.”  She said through gritted teeth, crossing her arms over her chest.  Jackson wondered what that meant.

“Can I see some ID?”  Doug asked.

“No,” Charlotte shook her head.  “You don’t need to see it.”

“Law says if an officer asks for ID, you have to supply it.  Hand it over.”  Doug responded.

“I don’t think I will.”  Charlotte shrugged.  “You’re here on a welfare check.  I am telling you my welfare is fine.  You can go.”  Nathan noticed the tremble in Charlotte’s shoulders but chalked it up to her being nervous that Jeff was mentioned.

“I will arrest you.”  Doug stated.  “Give me your ID.”

“Arrest me.  I don’t really give a fuck.”  Charlotte challenged.

“You little bitch-” Doug started.

“Hey!” Nathan shouted.

“Whoa!” Jackson held his hand up to Doug.  “There’s no need for that.”

Doug pulled his handcuffs out.  “Turn around and put your hands behind your back.  You’re under arrest.”  Charlotte did as she was instructed.  She winced as Doug locked the handcuffs into place.  “I’ll take her to get booked in.  You stay here and get statements.” 

“That makes no sense,” Jackson replied.  “How will I get back to the station?”

“I’ll come back for you,” Doug responded.

“What the fuck are you doing to my daughter?”  

“Dad, I’m fine,” Charlotte answered.

“Sir, go back into the house before I arrest you, too.”  Doug shouted.

“No,” Denver shoved Doug’s shoulder lightly.  “Get your hands off my daughter.”

“That’s assault!”  Doug screamed.  “You just assaulted a police officer.”

“Oh come on!  I only shoved you a little.  That’s not assault.”  Denver laughed.

“Shoving is assault.”  Doug turned to Jackson.  “Give me your cuffs.”

“I think we all need to settle down here.”  Jackson held up his hands.  “There’s no need to escalate this.”

“Fine, if you won’t do it, I will.  Give me your cuffs and get her into the shop.”  Doug shoved Charlotte at Jackson.  

“You’re really going to arrest me for a slight shove?”  Denver challenged.

“You bet your ass I am.  You and your piece of trash daughter can go to jail together.” 

“Well, in that case,” Denver shrugged before slamming his fist into Doug’s nose, knocking him to the ground.

“Dad!”  Charlotte cried.

“Goddamnit, Denver!”  Jo shouted from the porch.  

Doug coughed as blood spilled from his nose.  “That’s a felony.”  He groaned.

Tim slammed on his brakes in front of Nathan’s house, trying to figure out what he was seeing.

“What the hell is going on?”  Tim demanded.

Doug coughed some more before standing up.  “They’re both under arrest.”

“What for?”  Lucy asked, putting her hands on her hips.

“Her for obstruction,” Doug nodded at Charlotte, “and him for felony assault on a police officer.”  

“That’s what you get for calling my daughter a bitch and a piece of trash,” Denver spat.

“Jackson, get her out of those cuffs.”  Tim glared at Doug.

“You can’t do that!”  Doug got in Tim’s face.

“I just did.” Tim shrugged.  

“What are you even doing here?”  Doug asked.

“Dispatch couldn’t get an answer from either of you on your radios when they status checked you.  They tried checking your body cam to see if you were okay but it just shows the inside of your car.  They got the location of your shop and had us come check on you.”  Tim answered.

“They didn’t status check us!”  Doug scoffed.

“How would you know, Officer?”  Tim challenged.  “It looks like you don’t have your body cam or your radio on you.  That’s a real concern.”

“Jackson, did you hear a status check?” Doug demanded.

“No, sir.  Remember, I told you at the beginning of the shift that my radio was acting weird but you said we’d just use yours and it would be fine?”  Jackson answered quickly.

“Whatever,”  Doug spat, “cuff him.  He’s still under arrest.”

“I dunno,” Nathan shrugged.  “It looked like you tripped and fell to me.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”  Doug whirled on him.  “You saw him hit me.”  Doug pointed at Denver.

“What did you see?”  Tim asked Jackson.

“I wasn’t paying attention to him.”  Jackson shrugged, knowing he was going to pay for saying that even if it was the truth but the satisfaction of seeing Doug Stanton laid out was worth it.  “He passed Charlotte off to me.  My back was turned so I  could escort her to the shop.”

“You lying sack of shit.”  Doug stomped up to him.  “You know exactly what happened!”

“Looks like we have a problem here.”  Tim crossed his arms over his chest.  “You have been aggressive since we pulled up.  Sounds to me like you’re trying to falsify charges because you have a vendetta against Charlotte and this man.”

“That’s asinine!”  Doug screamed with rage.

“Ma’am,” Lucy locked eyes with Jo, “what did you see?”

Jo shook her head.  “I was talking to my son about how we were going to have to bail these two out.  I didn’t see anything.”

“It’s on body camera you stupid cu-”  Doug started.

“Hey!” Tim yelled.  “You don’t talk to witnesses like that.  Jackson, pull up your body cam app on your phone and let’s review the footage.”  Tim’s stomach sank and he shot an apologetic look at Charlotte who was rubbing her wrists after Lucy unhooked the cuffs.

“I can’t,” Jackson responded.  “The app doesn’t work for me; hasn’t in about a month.”

“What have you done to get it fixed?”  Tim asked Doug.

“He never told me it wasn’t working,” Doug glared at Tim.

“Sir, I emailed you about it four times.  I have your responses, if you’d like to look at them.”  Jackson answered.

“That won’t be necessary,” Doug huffed.  

“Then we’re done here.”  Tim declared.  “Jackson, drive Doug to the hospital to get that nose checked out.”

“Yes, sir,” Jackson said.

“You okay?”  Tim asked Charlotte once Jackson and Doug were gone.  Tim could see that she looked terrified.

“No,” Charlotte shook her head.  Tears started spilling down her cheeks.  “It was him, Tim.”

“Him who?”  Nathan asked.

“I recognized his voice,” Charlotte whispered, her teeth chattering as her whole body broke out into shivers.  “He was the guy who stabbed me.”

Tim swallowed the lump in his throat.  He wished he’d been the one to punch Doug.  “I’m going to need you to identify who the voice belonged to so I can bring this to Internal Affairs.”

Charlotte nodded before looking directly into Tim’s body camera.  “I recognized the voice of the man who stabbed me as the officer you referred to as Doug.”

i just had a talk with my Rebecca, the real one that i know, not the one i left in pieces on 86 stanton. she and i are healing, well-healed already. but at least now we can talk about it. our suffering is peeling off and revealing a brand new skin, a new power. love heals all wounds and not just time alone. - Jeff Buckley

[burningexeter]

Let's give this show more attention, shall we?

Here's a damn solid amount of all the different kinds of media that I like to think both can definitely fit well in and could legitimately share the same universe as what is in my opinion the best children's horror anthology series of all time and one of the best horror anthologies ever made in general, R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, which you can both read and see below for yourself right about here:

First off, here's what I mean by including the show, in my mind every episode of the entire series (at least most of them which we'll immediately get to) are all set in the same universe as each other since none of them over-step each other. However, not all of them will be for the fact that they don't fit and they suck hard in terms of quality and I've narrowed it down to five exceptions with the following reasons.....

- Red Eye, because it never lives up to its potential and has a cartoonishly written bad mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The fucking cheese puff one, because the episode is all around trash and everyone hates this one even the creators/showrunners themselves.

- The G rated Critters rip-off, because like I said it's a shitty Critters rip-off and also has an abusive asshole father who never gets his comeuppance at all somehow.

- Mrs. Worthington, because even though it has a great performance from Margot Kidder, it never lives up to its great premise and again has an asshole mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The leprechaun one, because it's just plain ass and AGAIN has an asshole adult (in this case, grandfather) that never gets his comeuppance.

Other than those shitty five, every. single. episode. are all set in the same universe. All of them are in the same twisted world — the Lilly D. trilogy, Scary Mary, Flight, Dreamcatcher, Creature Feature, Swarmin' Norman, the Pumpkinhead duology, Long Live Rock and Roll (AKA Doom Metal) and so on, so forth.

Also, I'm making a big deal out of the adult assholes that never get what's coming to them in a HORROR ANTHOLOGY SHOW is because in this universe we're talking about, everything is fair. Doesn't matter how old you are, your gender, your race, if you're a bad person than you end up getting what you deserve.
