Awful decision. There's no way other way of saying it, but an absolutely awful choice especially considering you haven't actually seen the worst.
Look, I get you like it and that's fine, but there is a way to disagree with someone's opinion without being rude and telling them the opinion is wrong.
He didn't say your opinion is wrong, he said voting for a movie knowing there are others probably worse is wrong. I'm not going to bother with Cars either, which is why I abstained from voting.

As for Wall-E...it's okaaaay. A bit slow and definitely overrated (people acted like it was the second coming when it came out), but I didn't find it preachy. It probably depends on what you yourself bring to the table. You call a future where everyone is fat, co-dependent on technology, and ruled by a corporation while Earth is turned uninhabitable "exaggerated". I call it a documentary. :P

Forget about the bloody gods and lsiten to what I'm telling you
Oh, well, apologies for the misunderstanding

Well, there's also the fact the planet is a barren wasteland and the movie ends with them playing a tree or whatever as a sign of hope :dead:

But the planet being a barren wasteland is the whole plot. What are they supposed to plant to regrow things, Hershey's kisses? :P Needing plants to survive on Earth isn't preachy liberal shit, that's basic science. Unlike Avatar where the trees have spirits or something in them and a tree falling over is played like a scene from Schindler's List.

No, I definitely know you need plants to survive on earth. I'm kind of at a disadvantage debating this because I haven't seen this since theaters and BARELY remember it at all beyond bare basics (another big negative) I just recall pretty much every part of the movie pushing a "humans = lazy, take care of environment" thing

That said, even going by TV Tropes, other people felt it was preachy at points. I'm definitely not alone in finding it that way.
