WALL-E







It hasn't opened here yet but I've managed to watch the movie. Twice. It's uber cute. A must watch! It'll be here some time next month. So do go catch it if you can. All the details that they pay attention to are awesome.



This is WALL-E. His name stands for Waste-Allocator-Load-Lifter (Earth class). His duty (directive) is to clear and compact any rubbish on earth into cubes and stack them up neatly. Over the course of time though, WALL-E (pronounced Wally) has developed a sense of curiousity - even as he compacts rubbish he is fascinated by many different things. Also, WALL-E is both the last WALL-E robot and the last robot operating on earth.



This is EVE. Her name stands for Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. Her job is to see any form of plant life outside of the spaceship the Axiom. In order not to spoil too much of the story, I shall not explain what the Axiom is or why EVEs are needed. Anyway, she is the robot that one day mysteriously lands in WALL-E's terrain.



This is MO. I loved MO! His name stands for Microbe Oblirater and his duty (directive) is to clean and make sure that the Axiom and its 'bots are cleared of any 'contaminant'. MO provides a certain level of comic relief to the show. Loved his small squeeky voice. Also, MO can't move his arms individually due to his cleaning element in between them, so when he shakes hands, he needs to move both his arms which is quite funny.

Other things to look out for in the show would be the robot called BURN-E. I'm not sure what his name stands for, but he's the welding robot on the Axiom. He's a small detail, but the fact that they even developed him just shows how much attention to detail they pay.

Music-wise, the tracks kinda surprised me. Early on in the show, there's a segment which sounds like its down right out of a thriller movie. But all in all, it was done really well and I enjoyed the movie since it was so cute. WALL-E should get a 4.5 out of 5 stars from me. Actually, it does get that score.

Cycle 11 promo



While some say that the silhouttes are fakes, this is apparently an official promo from The CW which uses the same silhouttes. Either its an elaborate hoax or its really the actual picture of the girls. That remains to be determined. We'll probably see the cast reveal next month.

More Cycle 11 pictures


Fantastic! It looks like we have 14 new girls this cycle. Look at the shoes on the last girl to the right. Platforms? Wedges? Whatever they are, they remind me of the 10-inch heels during the judging challenge in cycle 6.


I've heard that the theme for this Cycle's promo is "Summer of Love". From the silhouttes though, it looks like they're following this year's Australia's Next Top Model 008 with the Bond girls theme. That's just by looking at the silhouttes though. The real pictures could be different. Cycle 11 is just over 2 months away. Keep your eyes peeled.
