speaking of nerd

One of my favorite movies growing up was Short Circuit. Imagine my surprise when I saw a preview for Pixar's new movie Wall-E.

Meet Wall-E.

Now, meet (not for the first time, I can only hope), Johnny #5.

I rest my case.

That said, I still want to see the movie, I still think it's a great idea for Pixar's next film, and I'm sure Wall-E's creator is tired of people asking if he's seen Short Circuit.

Addendum: Actually, it looks like Short Circuit got its inspiration from another non-human sentient being. Eventually, I will find the first movie to feature an alien or robot with a head shaped like binoculars on top of a long neck and squarish body.
