I'm at a complete loss people, please help me figure out the reasoning behind this utter lack of artistic soul that has scarred me for life.

Recently I saw the movie WALL-E on DVD; it was AWESOME beyond all measure. I smack myself for not making time to see this film in theatres. Now obviously, since I loved this film so much, it can't be the culprit behind the whine-fest you're about to read. No, the true culprit is the fanart on this site. My problem not being that it's poorly drawn or compiled, but that many people on this site have drawn WALL-E and EVE as humans.

WALL-E and EVE as humans?...

WHY? Why must you burn my eyes with your utter lack of grasp for the beauty behind the fact that these characters AREN'T HUMAN? I'll try and encapsulate my Potentially Ill-founded Gripe (P.I.G for all intents and purposes) as much as I can.

The reason this bothers me is because if the two main characters in this film were human, it would completely undermine their discovery of the beautiful emotion that is love. As humans, love is an emotion we are naturally capable of, and as such if WALL-E and EVE were human their love wouldn't be some fantastic discovery, it would be something we'd expect. The true magic in them falling in love is that they were never programmed to experience this emotion, or any for that matter, yet they experienced it anyway. On another note, as robots they are devoid of animal instincts, like a sex-drive for example, so this lack of instinctual behavior would seem to infer that they are experiencing love in a much purer form, because a mutual amity and a concern for the security of one another is the most they can attain from each other. I mean come on, WALL-E crosses the entire galaxy just to hold EVE's hand for fucksake, his motives couldn't be any more pure!

A brief aside, this doesn't add much to my argument, but it is something to think about. The people who designed these robot went out of their way to make sure they looked as little like humans as possible. They purposefully avoided features like elbows, mouths and other anatomical parts found on humans. So basically these people that draw the robots as humans are pulling a complete reversal of the Pixar company's artistic decision. I know I'm grasping at straws with this one, but I felt it fair to point out.

Anywho, let's wrap these complaints up. I've drawn the conclusion that any person who's drawn these characters as humans has done so for one of the following reasons:
Easier for them to draw
Decided they find humans more aesthetically pleasing
Did it just for hypothetical reasons

At any rate, I refuse to search the words WALL-E, wall e, walle or any of the derivatives thereof on this website, because almost every page of the search is plagued with this uninsightful, soulless garbage. Let me make this clear, many of these pieces are actually drawn very well. I'd kill to have the talent some of these people have, but I earnestly find it insulting that they find it necessary to completely overlook the main message behind the film just so they can add another Deviation to their gallery. Anyway, that's enough for today's P.I.G, hopefully I can get a running start before the angry mob comes after me.

Once Again I return, my Lovlies, with nothing to show for it (Except for reviews for two movies I've neglected to see until now).

1) Kung Fu Panda

This movie was delightful and funny, yet had some wise things to say among all the mystical Confucian babble. It was a little disappointing that they didn't put their All-star cast to better use. What's the point of casting Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, David Cross and Seth Rogen if they only have about thirty (approx.) lines between them all; not counting non-speaking recordings. Despite this fact, the film is charming, and the main character is easily likable.


2) WALL-E

I definitely have more to say about this film.

To quote Chester A. Bum "This is the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life!" Though perhaps not the greatest, it is certainly a masterpiece among the mediocrity people settle for today. This film was like a silent film with sound (If that makes any sense); the actions and body language of the characters say it all. The innocent affections WALL-E develops for the elegant and angelic EVE were so beautifully portrayed. His attempts to win her "heart" are charming and, at times silly. It was quite entertaining to see that the robots had more personality than the humans most of the time. This film had an amazing blend of cynicism and Innocent optimism that we've come to know and love Pixar for. It was adorable and Heart-breaking, suspenseful and Light-hearted, a melodous balance that made this film one of the best 2008 had to offer.

Hey everybody, sorry for the lack of update on my gallery and journal, things have been kinda chaotic for me the past few months (Years?). I just got a job , so maybe that'll encourage me to be more productive with my spare time. I've revitalized interest in the books I'm writing, and maybe I'll finally smack myself around and say "Start Drawing Again!" But hey, only time will tell.
