I have been thinking about what I might put on my future business cards: Garbologist, Recycling Ninja, and Trash Lady have come to mind.  Now I hear there is a cute Pixar robot on the scene, known as WALL-E, which stands for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter -- Earth Class".  I think I have my new title.
I am referring to the new Pixar Film called Wall-E.  I haven't seen it yet, but have read a couple of reviews, including this one in the NY Times.

The reviewer, A. O. Scott, explains the setting,

"The human species was driven off its home planet — Wall-E eventually learns that we did not die out — by an economy consecrated to the manufacture and consumption of ever more stuff. But some of that stuff turned out to be useful, interesting, and precious. And some of it may even possess something like a soul."

The reviewer continues,

"Observing Wall-E’s surroundings, the audience gleans that, in some bygone time, a conglomerate called BnL (for “Buy N Large”) filled the earth with megastores and tons of garbage. Eventually the corporation loaded its valued customers onto a space station (captained by Jeff Garlin), where they have evolved into fat, lazy leisure addicts serviced by a new generation of specialized machines."

Eeeek.  That "future" sounds remarkably (and eerily) like the present.

From what I can tell, this little machine picks over the Earth's long forgotten detritus.  He likes a rubix cube.  He falls in love.  I'm sold.  I can't wait until this movie comes to the cheap theaters.
