I Think It’s Safe to Consider 2009’s Oscar for Best Picture “Off the Market”

Steph, Kevin, Kate (who was home from London for a few weeks), and I went to see the new Pixar movie Wall-e this past Saturday. It was clever, funny, well-made, etc., etc.

I honestly had trouble paying attention because, before the feature, they showed a trailer for what was clearly a motion picture of a higher-caliber. I am speaking, of course, of a little upcoming sliver of cinematic gold called Beverly Hills Chihuahua. How could they expect us to sit through some flawlessy-animated, heartfelt story after they show us a concept as brilliant as funny-looking dogs dressed up in silly outfits, dancing and singing like people?!?

I’ve got a really good feeling about this one, guys.
