Right Wing WALL-E Meltdown

TUESDAY JULY 8 2008 6:00 AM

TAGS: Wall-E, Right Wing

Holy shit, just when you think the right wing can’t be more retarded, WALL-E comes out and they lose their shit. Apparently, WALL-E is an evil movie full of “liberal propaganda” and “fear mongering.” The sweet little robot movie is poisoning the minds of our youth with its “agenda.”

Wha? Would that agenda be, “Don’t pollute and get off your ass?” Seriously? That is what they are getting upset about? What the fuck is wrong with these morons? And they are morons. Take a look:

Shannen Coffin:


From the first moment of the film, my kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind. It's a shame, too, because the robot had promise. The story was just awful, however.


Hey, lady named after the box we put dead people in, the movie is about love and the dangers of excess. Believing in exercise and using your mind are not part of the “liberal agenda.” That God you worship sort of set shit up like that. He gave you parts to use. The movie is saying if you don’t use the shit God gave you, then it ain’t gonna work out that well. As far as all the pollution, you may want to become familiar with the term “exaggeration” because it is a pretty common storytelling tool. And as far as it being an "awful" story - welcome to the world of being alone.

Greg Pollowitz


I saw WALL-E with my five year old on Saturday night. It was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment.


Welcome to the world of irony, Greg. I guess it would be “like a 90 minute lecture” if anyone in the movie spoke during the first hour. See, Greg, people speak during lectures. That is actually what a lecture is. You just compared a movie where no one speaks to a lecture and you were serious, which is hilarious. This was a visual feast, during which your simple brain was forced to work without being told everything. Oh, and it’s a FUCKING CARTOON. Are you still mad at Dr. Seuss because of The Lorax? I see no difference between you and a shit-throwing monkey.

Glenn Beck:


Oh, I can't wait to teach my kids how we've destroyed the Earth.


Here’s a tip, Glenn: The movie is set in the future, so they aren’t teaching you kids that we have destroyed the Earth, but that we may if we don’t change our ways. But, hey, now you can be as mad at robots as you are at penguins. Also, Glenn, please tell me if you know what a closed system is, because you sound mildly retarded.


Pixar is teaching. Just, this is great. You know if your kid has ever come home and said, "Dad, how come we use so much Styrofoam," oh, this is the movie for you.


Glenn, did you just attempt to make your point with Styrofoam? Did you actually just convey irritation that your child may ask a question about the overuse of Styrofoam? Do you actually think only people who are excited to tell their kids about the problems of Styrofoam (no one) will enjoy Wall-E? Has a thought ever entered your brain that you didn’t allow to come out of your mouth?

Dirty Harry:


Why go there? Other than the dark chuckles from the liberal critics around me, what’s to gain? And other than a lack of self-control or hubris on the filmmakers’ part, there’s no explaining it. But they did it. They actually had the President (Fred Willard) say about his failed mission, “Stay the course.”

Have we lost Pixar? Have we lost the wonderful studio who brought us The Incredibles and Ratatouille to Bush Derangement Syndrome?


Oh, dear. You stupid asshole. Do you not understand that art imitates life – and films in particular reflect what is happening in society at that moment? For you to take such umbrage at a subtle moment is both astounding and laughable. Not once during this film did I, someone who hates Bush to his core, think about President Bush. Only you right wing morons seem to be frothing at the mouth over this kind of shit. And yet, I bet you still love when a “Clinton getting a blow job” joke rolls out of Robin Williams' pie hole. Oh, and thanks for hating the movie about the dangers of excess but loving the movie about rats cooking food. That’s a great message for kids.

You’re a fucking tool.

Jonah Goldberg:


I agree with the charges of hypocrisy. I agree that the Malthusian fear mongering was annoying. But I saw WALL-E on Saturday as well. And I thought it was a fascinating and at-times brilliant movie.


Hey, thanks for being able to see through all the incredibly offensive images and enjoying the movie. But, I’m going to have to call you out on being a douchebag. For you to use the term “fear mongering” in a negative fashion is the height of irony.

Jonah, had this movie been about a world destroyed by terrorism, you would have jerked off until your penis looked like it had gone 15 rounds with Rocky. Maybe if conservatives had a creative bone in their body, they might be able to knock a few of those out of the park. But you guys don’t, so you won’t. Bummer for you.

Gennady Stolyarov II


The film blatantly conveys environmentalist, anticapitalist, and antitechnological propaganda — and aims it at an audience of children, who still lack the critical faculties and intellectual sophistication to evaluate all relevant aspects of the issues presented.

But I will not focus here on how egregiously unrealistic the film's scenario of humans completely trashing Earth is. A simple look around you will suffice to refute this possibility. Garbage is not piling up around us, and landfills are in fact remarkably effective at storing it safely and even using it to generate useful natural gases.


Egregiously unrealistic?

Gennady, you know that was a cartoon, right? You understand that there is a difference between cartoons and documentaries, right? You know that people don’t have superpowers, like that family in The Incredibles, right? And that toys don’t talk and run around, like they did in Toy Story? Also, you understand that you are a fucking moron, right?

I understand that the right wing seems to have no ability to form complex thoughts. And I am not kidding, or making a nasty comment. I truly believe they do not have the capability to construct complex thoughts. They only see simplicity and then react with grunts and shrieks. WALL-E is a classic example.

The movie is a love story first. And the true villain is technology – but not in an overt way. Advances in technology allowed humans to break with nature, which led them to become divorced from their humanity. Their culture and society is completely artificial and they have moved about as far away from being human as possible. WALL-E is now more human than humans, as he longs for an intimate connection and enjoys the fruits of labor. WALL-E is on Earth, living a natural and organic life, while humans are in space, living an artificial life. People have now become so reliant on technology that they communicate via computer while sitting right next to each other, while WALL-E attempts to communicate by speaking and finding a common bond. It’s irony!

My favorite aspect of the right wing hatred are the movie's religious undertones.

The robot Eve brings forth the new “apple” in the form of a plant that tempts them to leave the false world they have created, the false God of technology and instead choose life. Too bad the simplistic right wing monkeys couldn’t see the obvious religious undertones due to their rage over piles of animated garbage. Oh, and wasn’t one of the seven deadly sins “Sloth?” Does the right wing now believe that excess is okay? How the fuck did they get to this place? They are more cartoony than WALL-E.

Im sorry, but Wall-E was an amazing incredible movie, it was cute and had a wonderful love story.


So what if they threw is social commentary, I used to not care about what could happen with all our garbage of excess, but now I do, and this movie opened my eyes more to the possibilities...not that it will ever get that bad, goddess forbid, but we need to be more concious of what we do because we are trashing the earth.



...and either way, its a cartoon movie, get over it!!

Shit, I wasn't even planning on seeing this movie until I heard about all the anger from these right-wing nutjobs. Their anger is a better endorsement than Roger Ebert ever can give.

Sounds like the conservatives are concerned that their kids will take what is clearly a work of fiction as the unfiltered truth, rather than having their eyes open and learning from other, more educational sources around them.

Wonder where they could've adopted that sort of behaviour...

I'm glad you put quotes around kid movies. I would just consider this a movie movie. Fantastic for adults and children alike, has wonderful messages both with its "liberal propaganda" and its love story, and is a great example of hard sci-fi being aimed at...
well damn I guess it is a kids movie. But its still really excellent. And I can't say I'm not surprised that there is some controversy. Disappointed, but not surprised.

OT: Also, I hate Ayn Rand. So much. God do I hate her. I enjoyed the video game Bioshock simply because I got to destroy a city based around her stupid philosophy. Done now.

They're pissed off because it's teaching their kids not to pollute and to think about the effects over-consumption have on the environment? Uh.... no appropriate response comes to mind... surreal

Let's hope that this starts a war of attrition between nut job right-wingers and nut job Disney people.

An all out battle to the death between the two of them.

So, all these people whinging about it want us to not recycle, or care for the environment, or to teach kids the importance of doing such?... Hmmmm...

I love the guy who suggests Pixar are only now going downhill after a bunch of generic talking inanimate object/animal films and only now doing something completely different that Disney would never let them do... I thought Wall-E was awesome for a) being a kids film with no talking in the first half hour or so and b) being clearly modelled on 2001: A Space Odyssey...
