Is it just me?

Or does Steven Seagal still got it?

Rob Bricken Watches Transformers(ers) so you don't have to

And thank god for that. I don't think I have the constitution to withstand it. Here:

Why would a robot need to fart, pee, or vomit? And why would it need testicles?
Michael Bay does not understand what a robot is.
...
Why can only a Prime kill the Fallen? Why can Jetfire teleport? Why can the Fallen wave a staff and make shit fly around? Why do actual cars and Autobots get sucked into Devastator's maw, but John Turturro and that other kid can run around?
Because... because FUCK YOU, that's why.
....
If you had to pick a single scene that exemplifies Michael Bay's utter disdain for story and continuity, what would it be?
When five Decepticons sink to the bottom of the ocean to retrieve Megatron's corpse. A submarine tracks five "subjects" going down, and when they get there, one of the Decepticons is killed to give parts to Megatron. 5 -1 +1 = 5, right? No, because the sub somehow tracks "six" subjects coming up. Not only is this very basic math, this is the simplest of script errors. It could not possibly have been more than one page apart in the script. And yet Michael Bay either didn't care to notice or didn't give a fuck. "Math? Math is for pussies. My movies are about shit blowing up, man."
...
Could you sum up the film in one line of its dialogue?
"I am standing directly beneath the enemy's scrotum."

Friday wtf

(Sorry for the light posting... I'm so tired of the campaigns that I have had little to say. The best I can do for political junkies today is to help answer the question of whether Barack Obama can overcome his -2 to charisma to become our first half-orc president).

This is pretty messed up.

Del Toro’s moving to New Zealand for the next four years to work with Jackson and his Wingnut and Weta production teams. He’ll direct the two films back to back, with the sequel dealing with the 60-year period between “The Hobbit” and “The Fellowship of the Ring,” the first of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

A reporting error? Or is some hack sitting down to write The Similar-illion: The New Adventures of Bilbo Baggins?

Woo Hoo!

I just saw the Simpsons movie. It is hilarious. If you have ever enjoyed the show, you will enjoy the movie.

Sometimes it just turns out that way

Ladies take note: If I can find my long underwear, I'm wearing it today.

In other weather related news, Heavy Weather is starts out as a pretty good contribution to the cyberpunk tornado chaser genre but falls apart in the last 30 pages or so.

Speaking of post-apocalyptic sci-fi, Children of Men is a pretty good contribution to the genre, even though it sometimes hits you over the head with its politics.
