Almost makes me want to see Transformers 2
Almost. I saw Transformers 1, and there’s no way I’m falling for that again.
This review of the new giant robot cgi-fest is brilliant:
So LaBoeuf, who’s actually a fine actor, is the stand-in for the male viewers’ greatest fears about themselves. No matter how great a loser they might be, they can’t be as losery a loser as Sam Witwicky. And yet, Sam has awesome giant robots stomping around telling him he’s the most important awesome person ever. And he has the hottest girlfriend in the universe, Megan Fox, for whom banality is a huge aphrodisiac. The more pathetic Sam gets, the more Fox’s lips pout and her nipples point, like little Irish setters.
Michael Bay Finally Made An Art Movie
Irish setters would be the only reason I’d want to see it, but even that’s not enough.
