Saw Wall-E at the El Capitan<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

As far as the film, I can\u2019t think of a more human, more touching movie I\u2019ll likely see this year than Wall-E. This isn\u2019t a kids film, but it\u2019s one they (along with everyone else) should be seeing.<\/p>\n

Lastly, as much as I am a fan of films and books with post-apocalyptic settings, I found Wall-E\u2019s vision of the future extremely unsettling. What happened to the World Without Us<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll preemptively end my thoughts on the film here as I\u2019m on the verge of gushing endlessly. Since watching, I\u2019ve now bought this<\/a> and I\u2019m contemplating this<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

And here are a bunch of clips I\u2019ve been meaning to put up here for a bit:<\/p>\n

This<\/a> Largo review mentions both of my song requests. (I\u2019m famous!)<\/p>\n

The Southern California Library hosted a graffiti symposium in conjunction with the curricula that Mark and I have been developing. Here\u2019s an article<\/a> about it. (So famous!)<\/p>\n

Travis Miller\u2019s class was profiled<\/a> for an article about same sex marriage. Sadly, I couldn\u2019t be at school on this day and the spotlight had to be handed over to a much more adept educator. (Not so famous\u2026)<\/p>\n

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

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
