Thats so cool, I guess we have to watch out. there come be transformers all laround us and we’d never know. wonder if North Korea lunch missles was a cover story for something else… hmmm…

I bet the security crew has a new drinking game now. They drink whenever they see someone on the camera’s checking out the underside for a Decepticon symbol. :smiley:

That’s the mistake all the reviewers missed. They walked into the NAS museum in DC, and transported to VA, before the entire building was transported to Arizona.

If I go to a movie to see Giant Robots, I’ll suspend my disbelief about Giant robots. But asking me to ALSO suspend my disbelief about a wacky college campus in the same movie is one step too far! :smiley:

It was a two-room dorm shared by four guys. I suspect that’s not uncommon, since that was becoming the norm by the time I left college. It was hard to tell, but there should be a larger common room between the two sleeping areas.

Yeah a friend of mine that goes to Penn State lives in a setup like that

Well I stand humbly corrected. And I obviously went to the wrong schools. Do you think I could back up my life by 20 years and reapply?

Worth a shot…

It’s not that there’s no story. It’s that the story is so terrible and offensive. What a pile of soulless, racist junk.

:smiley:

When the Nexus comes, get down on it (or up to it):smiley:

Not to take the thread off into a ‘don’t go there direction’ - But I am , what parts did you find racist?

There’s already a thread on this aspect of the film, probably better to take it there.

Cheers boss, will keep an eye on that there thread.

For anyone who’s interested, there’s a pretty cool write-up on the building and rendering of The Pretender (Alice) over at Gizmodo:

Mine wasn’t.

That sounds like a teachable moment…

don’t know if anyone mentioned it already… but Megan Fox is a comics fan…

Her favorite comics is Fathom, Witch Blade and Gen13…

Just want to say, I have really enjoyed this Transformers arc.
This is another example of being introduced to an area I was unfamiliar with. Thanks for the info, laughs and fun! :slight_smile:

My final comment on this movie would be-

If the twins had been replaced by a more huminoid looking ARCEE during the ‘Quest for the Matrix’ segment of the film, it would have been even MORE awesome. The twins were overused and I would have loved seeing Arcee and Megan interact and bond during the journey.

And I would have enjoyed watching Arcee kick Wheelie off of Megans leg too!

My wife and I worked out how Arcee should have been used in the movie:

Arcee and Mikala become fast friends after she arrives on Earth. Bumblebee also has a bit of thing for Arcee. Sam and Bumblebee, while doing something important get stuck in a tough situation only to be saved by Mikala and Arcee, at which point Arcee makes a cliche joke about how the women have to save the guys.

And they say fans shouldn’t write for shows. That woulda be awesome!
