The American Crawl

Saw Wall-E at the El Capitan on Friday. And while the El Cap usually does a great job turning a movie into a full event, the best added feature for Wall-E was the series of Hubble telescope pictures adorning the walls of the lobby.

As far as the film, I can’t think of a more human, more touching movie I’ll likely see this year than Wall-E. This isn’t a kids film, but it’s one they (along with everyone else) should be seeing.

Lastly, as much as I am a fan of films and books with post-apocalyptic settings, I found Wall-E’s vision of the future extremely unsettling. What happened to the World Without Us?

I’ll preemptively end my thoughts on the film here as I’m on the verge of gushing endlessly. Since watching, I’ve now bought this and I’m contemplating this too.

And here are a bunch of clips I’ve been meaning to put up here for a bit:

This Largo review mentions both of my song requests. (I’m famous!)

The Southern California Library hosted a graffiti symposium in conjunction with the curricula that Mark and I have been developing. Here’s an article about it. (So famous!)

Travis Miller’s class was profiled for an article about same sex marriage. Sadly, I couldn’t be at school on this day and the spotlight had to be handed over to a much more adept educator. (Not so famous…)

LA Weekly article about Ray Cortines. Though I was interviewed, my quotes of unrelenting wisdom did not make the cut. However, this is another opportunity to link to the interview Travis and I did with Cortines. (Not famous + re-linking an old clip = quasi un-famous?)
