Techland's Valentine's Day Guide: Best Sci-Fi Date Movies, Gift Guide | Techland

4. Wall-E

Who doesn’t love this movie? Tell me, and I’ll go pour glue in their hair. There is nothing sweeter than robots in love, especially when one of those robots can’t stop watching “Hello, Dolly.” It’s tender moments are off set by the comedic looks at a human race that is over dependent on technology and a world that they eventually destroyed. Social currency, robot love. What else do you need?

5. The Empire Strikes Back

“I love you.” “I know.”

The most sexually charged of the original Lucas trilogy, Empire is worth re-watching if not for Leia-loves-Han moments, then for the Imperial AT-AT Walkers. You know it’s true.

From perhaps the quintessential Valentines day episode from the Simpsons:

“Romance is dead – it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.”
Allie Townsend

Ah, the wisdom of Lisa Simpson.

*tear* “Valentine’s Day is stupid.” I’m so proud of you, Allie.

“Valentine’s Day is stupid”

I must agree, even the candy is crap. Enough of these chalky “b mine” hearts! Get me some Cadbury Creme Eggs already!

Every year in Middle School, people gave out valentines to everyone in the class. I put mine in a black folder with a graphically depicted removed heart. It was quite amusing to see the reactions.

Thanks, sensei.

What? No! Valentine’s Day is awesome! Some how, some way, we get a day where we get presents, a fancy dinner, and spoiled all day long. At least I do.

I know a lot of people talk about, “Valentine’s Day is 365 days a year for us!” but we all know that’s BS. I shall receive my yearly V-Day tribute like the once-a-year-for-24-hours goddess I am, thankyouverymuch!

(Also, I love those @ earrings.)
