spoiler? who gives a fuck

this was the best part:

I am already incredibly sick of this movie, and I'm just typing questions about it. Sam resurrects Optimus, Optimus kills the Fallen, end of story, right?
Pretty close. Sam dies, though.

Really?
Yeah, for a little while. But then the Transformers in heaven send him back because he still has work to do.

Fuck you.

I'm serious.

I'm a big fan of the simple:  Michael Bay does not understand what a robot is.

This is the very first thing I've read that makes almost want to pay cash money and sit in the theater and watch this movie. Almost.

In my mind, the ridiculousness and aggressively thick-headed idiocy this movie displays seems too incredulous to even exist. But I remind myself that the novelty of such probably wears off within twenty minutes... leaving me watching Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen... bored and ashamed of myself.
Maybe every day is Saturday morning.

that needs to be like a marquee and we need to invite that guy to our board.

I haven't seen this movie, but I did just re-watch the episode of The Simpsons where Marge does the musical version of A Streetcar Named Desire.  When Bart hears about it, he asks Marge, "Are there any jive-talking robots in it?"

This episode originally aired in 1992, so I submit to you that The Simpsons is about 17 years ahead of its time.  Well, was.

What's strange is that the film is so longwinded, and yet, you never seem to have a enough time with the characters, or the machines themselves to get a sense of fun. The film goes on a long while before you realize that you haven't seen Bumblebee in that amount of time. The intricate plot and convoluted story wins over what made the first one somewhat enjoyable. There's a lot that could have been cut (not just scenes, but entire characters), but even then it seems like the film would have still remained boring.
