That is so cool! After this movie his new quote should be…
“GRIMLOCK NEED NEW AGENT!”
He should take the place of the Geico lizard, I could get behind that. 
LOL! Why not both? He could always say: “ME GRIMLOCK SAVE FIFTEEN PERCENT ON GRIMLOCK INSURANCE” 
Can someone help me out?
At the end of the movie, Optimus tells Sam to put the Cube into Optimus’s chest if the battle goes badly.
But instead, Sam shoots at at Megatron. Not sure I understand what was going on there.
A really fun movie, by the way. Just watched it this week. I love how the movie deals with violent nastry transformers early in the movie, and then when the Autobots enter into the plot they seem so noble and honorable in comparison. Great stuff.
I would love Gieco forever if they got Grimlock as their spokesbot! That is AWESOME!!
We’ll as they mentioned earlier they said that merging the cube with Optimus’ spark would kill him and destroy the cube.
Sam figured if it would destroy Prime it would do the same to Megatron. As it turned out, he was correct. Although I always thought that should be been Prime’s plan the whole time… “You want the cube? Ok, here ya go…foo.”
Thanks Sean. So, does that mean there was never any danger about Megatron getting hold of the cube (because if he did he woulda exploded anyway)?
The reviews are brutal, yes, but they pulled in $60.6 million for Wednesday ALONE. The power of Megan Fox.
But grosses don’t equal good. I’m still sitting on fence, but will probably see it, cuz, what the heck, it’s still big fightin’ robots.
Not quite the Megan Fox…
Now we’re talkin!
And though I haven’t seen the flick yet, after reading a number of reviews I see two groups forming: many who’re familiar with Transformers lore seem to be enjoying it and many who aren’t familiar are tagging it as no-plot trash. That’s not surprising as it’s pretty much the same fate as the first movie. Expect lots of nastiness from those who didn’t enjoy the film in terms of suggesting that Fox’s ass is somehow worth $60+M or that we’re all just fools for marketing.
I’ll admit that the “trash” talkers do get to me sometimes. Often people call something “trash” when what they really mean is “I didn’t like it” or “It wasn’t my thing.” They don’t realize that calling something that someone else might have enjoyed “trash” is actually insulting whereas simply indicating that they didn’t enjoy it is completely reasonable.
But hey, that’s just, like, my opinion, man.
I agree with you. I’m just saying that, regardless of the content, it did all-time record business for a Wednesday opening. That’s just a fact, nothing more.
I haven’t seen it yet either, Chuck, but I will stand by my belief that Megan Fox’s ass is worth some significant portion of that record Wednesday take. In my opinion, there are far more people motivated by that than by Transformers canon. You certainly hear and see a lot more about her than it throughout the course of the year.
I’m reserving my opinion of the movie until I see it myself, which I will do regardless of reviews. I’ve liked too many movies that people have panned to pass this up.
I can’t wait for the podcast on this movie. Especially depending on how Sean feels about Transformers 2, it could be epic!
Well I will say this and nothing more until the cast. I enjoyed it, I will see it a second time before the cast.
Rock on.
This gives me hope!
Just saw it, it rocks!
And just like with the original you will need to see it a dozen times to catch all that is going on…
Nuff said. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone else.
I really can’t take anything seriously that feels the need to come up with “witty” nicknames for things. “Hurf hurf the Beef was stupid har har I am so witty”
It’s not ‘witty,’ it’s a direct translation.
Fine. Intentionally degrading nickname?
Whatever you get my point
I think that’s an excellent point, Chuck. Too often, I see people so set in their ways and their own personal world view of what’s right vs. what’s wrong, what’s good and what’s bad, what condiments belong on a burger vs. what ones are blasphemous, etc. to stop and consider that people are different and therefore no two people are going to have the exact same take on what’s “trash” vs. what’s “awesome”. To use a slightly different example, I see the same exact thing happen with some people on gay marriage – some folks don’t get that just because two ppl of the same sex want to marry each other doesn’t mean that they have to be gay or marry anyone they don’t want to. Part of why I like the GWC crowd so much is that we’re for the most part tolerant and respectful of each others differences. Like how I can write on the forum about why I personally didn’t like the '07 Transformers movie without the need to trash talk it and without Sean feeling put on the defensive because I spoke somewhat critically of his favorite show of all time. So yeah, we rock!
Recently, I’ve been pondering ideas similar to what Chuck just so eloquently expressed.
In this internet age (or is it merely an age that coincides with the in’ernet?), there’s this prevalent (or common) mindset that Everything Should Be For You.
Which all too often prompts the response, “I didn’t like it, so it’s no good.”
And, frankly, I suspect what’s just as common, if not more so, is the response, “I didn’t understand it/get it, so it’s no good.”
This phenomenon, of course, is all but absent from GWC, which is but one reason the place is so swell.
ps. Megan Fox is so hot.
I saw Revenge last night and enjoyed every second of it. My only complaint about the first one was the lack of transformers screen time, and this movie fixes that.
