autobody swapping

I rarely watch a movie from beginning to end anymore. I ususally spread a movie out over several nights...kinds of nice to spread it out. Tonight we finished up wathing 'my left foot'. Great movie. Can't say enough about the DDL, Dan Day Lewis, and all of his movies..."last of the mohicans", may "be the best action film ever!". Anyway, we followed up 'my left food' with a bit of the movie 'cars'...talk about a leap in genre...

Cars is cute and kind of funny...bit a bit of the gag reflex kicks in while watching it (kind of when eating something too sweet and gooey)...we'll finish it up tomorrow and the next night maybe...but there's something definitely weird about watching computer animated cars act human-like...i don't know yet...are there any humans in the movie at all? Are the humans mindless machines without personality?

Remember the string of the 'body swap' movies in the eighties like 'Big' and 'visa versa'? why was that so big in the 80's?

Anyway, maybe that happened on earth...all the humans got swapped with their cars? would it be that far from reality? We really are our cars in american society....if so...who am i since I don't have a car?
