Re: Transformers 3 Announced
I wonder if Megan Fox has to give Michael Bay if big blow-job to get back into the series? Jennifer's Body wasn't the breakout role it needed to be for her to become a leading lady.
I think the sequel needs a couple of redneck robots on the Decepticon side that have a Big Rebel flag painted on them to chase around the Autbots that look somewhat like stereotypical images of black people. Maybe we can have the mom take a roofie and sleep with Sam's roommate, and then have Unicron show up with a big hose to drain earth that looks remarkably phallic.

At least this would give Bay another excuse to fetishize a muscle car, although do they allow non-GM products in these movies?

Re: Transformers 3 Announced
I would love to see a Gran Torino and a Grand National duking it out in the next one. Or, make them reluctant teammates. Maybe the Torino can be Kup and the National can be someone like Hot Rod or Springer.
But, whatever new characters they add, they better not eclipse Ratchet and Ironhide. And no more 60+ pallet swapped robots nonesense this time around. No Transformer heaven. If the annoying roommate must return, have a random Decepticon kill him in the first 5 seconds. And no animals humping and no scenes of Sam's parents high on any kind of drugs. If a comedy sequence lasts longer than any one of the action sequences, cut the comedy sequence out of the movie. It probably sucks anyway.
And on the subject of Transformer heaven. Just have Prime explain that it was an interactive program stored inside the Matrix that was interfacing with Sam's brain. Overwhelmed, his mind interpreted the data as a sort of afterlife. At least that would fit with what the Matrix was in the post-animated movie seasons of the show.

If anything it should hint that Hot Rod will fuck it up with Prime fighting and THEN Hot Rod dies somehow. It'd make my inner child be content with the huge fuck up that Hot Rod committed in getting Prime get killed.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced
I didn't like Sam's best friend (though mercifully that pointless character gets ignored as quickly as he's introduced). Although Anthony Anderson was funny and Rachel Taylor was easy on the eyes, I felt that they served no real purpose given all they did was reiterate information we already knew and the only thing useful either of them did was send the morse code message to the military. All they needed to justify those two characters was have them find away to counteract the Decepticon virus. Instead, they serve no other purpose than to pad the runtime of an already bloated film. I also didn't like the excess amount of humour during the search for the glasses is Sam's house. Although the individual sequences were entertaining to varying degrees, there was just too much humour and the sequence grows tiring.
I applaud that they tried to have a great sense of fun with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Sadly, they mostly failed. But first the good. I liked the awesomeness of the Shanghai battle, the whole concept of the NEST team, Ravage's cool but all too brief assault on a military compound (complete with a blink-and-you-miss-it bloody shot of a soldier getting sliced vertically in half), the hotness of Isabel Lucas, the fantastic forest battle (this was the standout sequence of the film), and a delightfully gratuitous slo-mo shot of Megan Fox running towards the camera.
I hated the roommate. He was the signle most obnoxious character in the movie. He added nothing of value and there was no need for him 90% of the time. The only useful things he did was explain how they managed to get so many hot babes in their campus housing (he had a friend mess with the transcripts and had all those girls reassigned to live next door to them) and contact Simmons (why was he fired instead of reassigned to another govenment division?). Yes, dogs humping twice also irked me. And the less said of the thong shot later in the movie, the better. The robots didn't look as well rendered as they did in the first movie. Devastator was a pointless last minute character. The Fallen was just relaxing on an easy chair in Saturn? Really? Although Megatron and Starscream were made to be more like their cartoon counterparts, they went too far. Suddenly Megatron was a weakling and Starscream a coward. I bet he'd cower to Megatron, the Fallen, and Prime. But this is the robot that effortlessly beat the shit out of Ironhide and Ratchet at the same time during the climax of the first movie. Speaking of Ironhide and Ratchet, they were reduced to mere cameos. And regarding the climax, it occurs some 90 minutes into the movie. It was that kickass forest battle. Sadly, there was an hour left. The final fight of Prime vs The Fallen/Megatron/Starscream lasted less than a minute (Sam's mom high on pot brownies was about 2 and a half minutes long), happened at hyper speed, and the camera was placed about three inches away from Prime during the entire length of the action sequence. And the big battle in the desert that preceded it was incredibly boring. So the sequel ended in an anticlimax.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced
Yeah. But it's kinda weird how they did that. She was 3 robots and at least 2 were seemingly killed. So the one that hid may or may not have survived.
Movie plot
In Revenge of the Fallen Arcee is accompianed by two similar Transformers, Chromia and Flareup (who are practically identical to Arcee except Chromia is blue and Flareup is purple) as they chased the Decepticon Sideways in an alley in Shanghai. They are later present when the Autobots face off with the Decepticons in Egypt, sent with Ironhide as an advance team to recover Sam. Upon finding Sam and Mikaela, Arcee and Flareup are hit by a missile, whilst Chromia is seen taking cover near a building. They are not seen for the rest of the film.

Maybe Chromia went to play Uno with the MIA Barricade.

Was it expected to be? How many leading ladies get their big break from horror flicks?

Well, I'm surprised they're rushing this out in two yrs... on the other hand just think of the upside... the sooner we'll get the fourth movie with a different crew.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced
Pfft. If the third movie is half the shitfest the second one was, it'll make $300 million (or more) and ensure the same "writers" (yes, they wrote Star Trek but I have my doubts the script for TF:ROTF was anything more than some hastily scribbled phrases on some post it notes) and director are back for a fourth and maybe fifth outting.

I enjoyed the first one, didn't enjoy the second one. The second one had some awesome battles, but just too damn much of everything else. This third one, I will wait to hear what people are saying, and then maybe catch it as a matinee for a cheaper price. If people are saying it's worse than the second, I'll rent the blu-ray.

I'll go ahead and predict it'll be Transformers 3D. I'll also say that all of us that went to the first two and felt suckered after one or both of them will also go to this one. And feel suckered afterwards.
