Michael Baysplosions
I do not plan on seeing the new Transformers movie. Everyone I am even vaguely aware of possessing some fragment of intelligence has sunk their venom into Bay’s latest offering of incomprehensible CGI nonsense. My friend who once advised me to get a job solely for the purposes of getting enough money to become overweight, who decried The Beatles as being irrelevant and untalented, who once honestly suggested a video game based on a race war(for comedic effect) loved it.
I don’t want to say that anyone who likes this movie is a a drooling idiot. Maybe all of “teh criticz are rong abut evyrethin”. I’m just saying, I know where I stand. If I find I am sorely in need of aliens in Africa, Neill Blomkamp’s got me covered.

RE: The first film. A peculiar event that was. Watching it, I almost enjoyed myself more than once. As soon as I left the theatre, a series of nagging criticisms grew and grew, until I realized days later just how much I hated that movie. This might be why Roger Ebert gave the first a more optimistic review: It does an alright job of hiding its flaws in plain sight, until you have the time to process how stupid it all is. Judging from what I’ve heard on the grapevine(or is that e-vine? Or i-Vine?), that is not the case with ROTF.
Even so, I’d have at least considered it if they’d gotten Leonard Nimoy to play “The Fallen”.
