An impressive accomplishment for a film made in 2008. I love Wall-E too, it's in my top 20 of the 2000s, maybe top 10.
JL - I need more Keaton as well, I've only got a handful.

Knowing that he's responsible for the hideous idea of re-making the brilliant, original "Wicker Man" makes me want to purposely avoid the dude at all costs.
I thought LaBute's films, esp the early ones, were must see for film buffs/students. Maybe not. Jason Patric's character in Your Friends and Neighbors is unforgettable.
He's one of those filmmakers who's more of a playwright.

I think he was in the movie version too.
Neil Labute hates people, that's all I know. Watch "Your Friends and Neighbors" - easily one of the most pessimistic movies I've ever seen. Jason Patric plays an absolute prick.

EDIT - luke beat me to it
I didn't call him a prick but only because that doesn't even describe the contempt he shows for other humans.
