Yes, I was a lonely child... *sigh*

Yes, just like Macauly Culkin's Bachelor Party

Yes, dog pee on robot is comedy at its finest.

Amsterdam: "your not a fan"

Guy#2: " AM SO!"

Amsterdam: " ARE NOT!!" Guy#2: "Your a poopoo HEAD!!"

Amsterdam: "AM NOT!!" *sobs and runs away*

Oh and hey yack!! i missed you! I was dam sure you would be in here whining! Good to see that you are consistent =P You have not been checking your messages on myspace, i sent you one!

This movie is going to kick ass!! Bay is the best director since UWE Boll....I LOVED alone in the dark!

*giggles like japanese school girl with bad english dub*

Hey Mori...good to see you out and about, you sexy humourless stud! *gives peace sign* Makiko.

And in another part of town bumble bee gags and ties megan fox to a chair torturing her to NIN playing on his radio. *gags* I will take my chances with Bay.

j/k ;)))

Man, there's gonna be some shit flying at the next toy con I go to - can smell it already. You think the SW prequels polarized a fanbase? Just wait.

But if it makes you feel better my children...VENT AWAY! it amuses. I actually agree with Mori for once, it never did a huge pop cross over and is limited mostly to our generation in terms of fan base. It is a movie! and that means "the powers that be" are thinking about a huge cash in nd revamping something that appeals to more then just a bunch of dudes in glasses snorting and playing with themselves to pictures of "Deana troy". =P

Bay:"Yeah - I'll direct *that*!"

In my opinion you sounded like an ass with your last statement, why is okay for people to come in here saying "this movie is going to chew" and then when someone speaks up and says " i think i might give it a chance and regardless of who directs it or how much its changed....i might still enjoy it" They are blasted as "non fans" or told they obviously do not care about the original series. I happen to dig nostalgia just like mori, but there is nostalgic fuzziness ,then there is "reality" and the truth of reality is....transformers was a subpar cartoon, that we are all fond of because it represents a part of our lives that we no longer have *or ever will*.... "our childhood" I suggest you start "manning up" If your opinion involves bitching..cool, but dont start pissing vinegar on someone else for stating their opinion

Makes you look like a jackass.

"Notice Moriarty sounds like a suit every day" If you are trying to involve everyone else in your sandbox antics..dont bother, we can form our own opinions of Mori thank you! We do not need you to point it out for us. I do think he is humourless and needs to take that huge stick out of his rear, but i also have some respect for the name calling and shit he puts up with on here. If i were him i personally would have booted alot of people from this site that he has not....including me =P

Grow up.

Montag, Bay did have a massive seizure, just not sure if it was the result of a cocaine overdose.

Usually, the people throwing that "go get laid" shit around are people who themselves place such a high priority and magic importance to getting laid. This is just getting tiring in this day and age.

For those who call Mori out on being a studio shill need to read some fellow TBers comments. Apologists for both sides always pop up and spout from on high.

Tonight, I will have sex yet again. And I will still be pissed off that Hollywood continues to treat every concept/property as pure objective property, to be manhandled and molested by the highest bidder.

At least this has transforming autos/giant robots. Underdog has a dog in a cape and calls itself an updated treatment. Crap.

Fact.

Well, here we are with yet another report confirming that the February script is, or nearly is, the shooting script. I wonder if Ironhide still wants to murder Sam's parents, or did they wisely remove that bit?

Once the kids were asleep, the lovin' was great. TAKE THAT FOOD NETWORK!!

You're getting waaaay too literal. I was just over-exaggerating to be snide. Just making the point that people, by and large, are two-faced little shits that evaluate who and how and why and where their behavior calls for accepting others.

Let people get pissed off about their toys being molested by some hack director. Maybe one day, the more people get pissed off at the utter crap Hollywood feeds them, the fewer shitty "franchise" movies like this we (as a Glass Teat-suckling society) have to put up with.

I'm just fighting for their rights to complain about their favorite toy being dildoed. Me, I'll be in the theater watching giant robots and thinking, "Ok - no need for sequels please!"

I, too, would rather fuck than argue about (or even play with) action figures.

Unless it was a Vampirella figure. Then, I need to be alone for a few.

Bias against anyone is bias. All I was saying.

As a huge science fiction movie fan, I find myself strangely indifferent toward this film. It might suck, might be great. I don't really care.

Michael Bay is all about mass-appeal special effects and nothing else. That's been enough to make him a lot of money, which I can respect, but someone (Yackbacker?) posted that his movies are totally forgettable the moment you leave the theater. I agree. Bay is only one step up from Uwe Boll in this department.

C' mon - fess up.

Let's review: **SPOILERS**

1. the movie is more about Sam than the robots

2. cookie cutter characters we can "relate" to, such as soldier boy with his new born baby he's never seen before **sniff weep**

3. McGuffin plotline, cuz that's never been done before

4. cheesy ass typical love story between the nerd and the girl with a "troubled" past

5. overuse of "more than meets the eye" (3 times at last count)

6. eBay, XBox, and GM cars - roll eyes

7. what page does the robot plot acutally start on? yeah thought so

8. except for a brief shot at the beginning, Megatron plays little or no role in this film until the very end

9. all of the Decepticons die except Starscream

10. on that note, the little boy kills Megatron

So Hydra_Lord, what did I leave out that you found "quite good"?

Oh let's not forget the brilliant scene where Bumblebee pisses on the G-Man, that's some brilliant fucking writing right there, WOO BOY!

I mean... who is Bay targeting with this crap? My family hits the major demographics and yet his feature remains a no-sale. What's a late-30s fanboy to do?

Still waiting for cable...

;^ )

Fuck you too Mr.Bay.

Bottom line: Hey, I remember watching Adam West as Batman as a kid on TV in syndication and as a kid I enjoyed it for what it was AT THAT TIME. But God knows when I was older and Warner Bros chose to make a big budget film for a NEW generation -- and that's the key here, it was created to bring in a NEW legion of fans -- that the SMARTEST decision they made was to NOT dress Batman in a tacky Gray cloth and Blue shiny spandex costume and go with the rubber molded suit instead. Because now Batman, on the big screen, actually looked kick ass. And similarly I didn't mind when Nolan came in and changed the suit yet again to suit his interpretation.

Someone along the way pointed that out and I totally agree totally. I look at this as Bay and Spielberg's interpretation of TF -- and let's face it, the haters here always focus on Bay, but Speilberg deserves credit OR blame for the final film too since he's had such an active hand in it. And as someone else noted, if the film is a big hit, the next guy will put HIS spin on the franchise as well, much like each different director brought a tone to the POTTER films or any other multi-film franchise you can think of that changed creative hands.

So me, I look at this as TF for TODAY'S kids who likewise EXPECT certain things to look "cool" in particular ways onscreen. Frankly, looking back on the cartoon, it's like Batman's suit. Optimus Prime the cartoon design would look rather bland onscreen in a big budget movie. Hey, just remember he was designed to look that way for animation reasons, to keep detail work down to make it easier to animate, problems which 20-30 years later and given advances in computer animation and such have disappeared. Frankly, I realize I'm a more casual fan of the TF, but I think everything I've seen so far from the movie looks kick ass. I know I'll be there opening day. And I suspect I'll get what I want: Giant Robots kicking the shit out of each other, with lots of explosions and destruction. Gee, maybe it's me, but that sounds like a big budget Michael Bay summer time blockbuster type film to me, just what I WANT to see come Fouth of July weekend...

TOS BSG was about the holocaust of billions of people, and from there we got SpaceBalls. New BSG took the horrible happenings of the premise and treated it seriously. But I can still recognize the story, the Galactica, Vipers, the ragtag fleet, and even the CG Cylons. New BSG took all of the good elements of the OS, ejected the bad elements, and made sensible changes. Yes, some of those changes were controversial, like girly Starbuck, but does anyone (besides purist fucktards) care about any of those controversial changes anymore?

So now we're getting a re-imagined Transformers, only it's not being treated seriously, in fact it's arguably more campy than the original because live action movies shouldn't be this intellectually insulting...oh wait, Michael Bay. So many changes have been made, many making ZERO sense at all, that this movie doesn't even remind me of the original.
