I'd recommend Wall-E - it's possibly my favourite Pixar pic.

I just read in The Ten-Cent Plague that the very first issue of Mad magazine had a story based on "The Machine Stops," called "Blobs".

yeah, I saw the similarities in the differences: the weak are fat instead of thin but equally unmuscular; they are all busy "lecturers" with no time for the real world around them; their audience of isolated fellows is perhaps just to their side or miles away, the cubicles are always moving with their owners on it; mankind abandoned the poluted surface of Earth; guy drops to the ground and expects drones to raise him again; etc
obviously Wall-e also draws from 2001 and Woody Allen (ever got the resemblance?) |
