It's pretty much the same high school "I hate something a bunch of
idiots are making popular!" attacking of the trend for attention, rather
than the thing itself, for talk-ratings. Yawn.
(Usually we'd get this every week from the high-school kids, two months
before the next Lord of the Rings movie.)

The pop headline this week being, Wall-E got the good reviews, so a new
coattrail to tread on...Also yawn. (More of a Toy Story 2 fan, m'self.)
Despite Terence's wishful "Gee, I wish I'd said that! @_@ " fantasies
(you will, Terence, you will), it's pretty heavily in NTSHMO territory.
