    ... So why does everyone slide across the floor when the ship lists to one side? Shouldn't artificial gravity be relative to the ship, not the universe?


    Should I just enjoy the movie and visual gags for what they are? ;)

    @Parkington: Actually, it would've been a tad better, even if a bit esoteric for the kids, if it was done with some control on the console rather than Auto's wheel. Turning the wheel to affect the gravity like that was a bit on the "meh" side. But whatever. I loved the movie despite this, but....still....it's there...taunting me.

    That 2nd picture made me realize how Star Wars seems to've been a big inspiration in ship design. Think I was too distracted to notice during the movie, since I realizing how spookily WALL-E seemed to remind myself of- well- me! Right down to the blue-eyed love interest that doesn't pay attention to him at the start.

    @AmishJohn:
    I hope so. Disney pissed me the hell off when they decided to try to push the Blu-Ray format on bonus-feature-lovers like myself with their dirty tactic of stripping all the standard bonus features out of the DVD releases. Okay, sure, DVD can't do picture-in-picture. I can live without it. But I want the quantity, dammit.
