So, at the risk of cementing my status as a Bay apologist, I think it's pretty encouraging that he's even aware of the perceptions about the last movie. I, too, look forward to some robot-on-robot violence.
It's a shame about The Island. I actually think that's one of his better movies. I guess it wasn't flashy enough or filled with enough Baysplosions to keep his fans happy.

But, yeah, Bay cares about his fans. Keep in mind he's just a big kid playing with some really awesome (and expensive) toys. It's the kind of things all of us dreamed of when playing with our army men, G.I. Joes, Transformers, Thundercats, etc. So he does care (as nizarre as it seems) what his fellow "kids" think.

Thank you. ROTF may have some great action sequences and it moves at a good pace but the nonsensical plot holding it together is so poor that it still doesn't manage to skate by.

I get what you're saying and I doubt Bay would do that to Prime. He knows the fans love this character so, if he must die, he'll go out a hero rather than have his epic battle interrupted by a well meaning but douchey kid.

As for my Charge of the Light Brigade comment, that was inspired by a sequence that was intended to ocurr during the final action sequence of the '86 movie (where all the remaining G1 characters were meant to die) but the writers (although only one is credited) backed off at the last minute.

Bay is especially proud of some of the urban warfare scenes (including sequences featuring a team of glide-suit commandos who dip between skyscrapers like a black-ops version of flying squirrels)...

The HDRoom has separated pics of the teaser. Some guy on the talk back claims that Barricade is one of the Decepticons being sliced by Optimus.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

No Twins, no yapping roommate, no Mrs. Witwicky getting high on pot brownies, no humping transformers automatically makes part 3 better than part 2. I'm assuming none of this will be in the film.

I still wished Bay would have found someone else to play Carly. That is one fugly 'model'.

Actually, IMDB's trivia page mentions the Twins getting a re-design. Ugh. Hopefully they don't speak.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

Yeah, the Twins are back. There are pics of their new vehicle modes somewhere in this thread. I actually liked the Twins. Their antics were usually in the background or comments offscreen so they didn't feel intrusive to me. Now the humping dogs (the first time was actually funny in a random sort of way but the second time...) and humping robot were beyond stupid.

Yeah, Statham must be an abusive boyfriend. You can tell he's punched the girl more than once in the face. What would Lee Christmas think of himself?

More than anything, the wing suit shot sold me a ticket to TF3, even though I should know better after TF2! I hope there's a good deal of action akin to that with more weight than constant CGI.

Christ, Statham's dating her? She's 20 years younger than him.

Meh. I had no issues with them. they were amuzing. Now the roommate, that's someone I couldn't stand. The only time he was funny was during the library sequence and when he fell asleep on Simmons. Though I would have prefered he never tagged along for the adventure.

I'm not one to usually say shit like this but...you're on the internet. For all I know you're a fat white fuck living under your mom's basement. Granted....I'm sure you're not a fat white fuck etc etc etc....but...I'd like to see a picture of your wife/gf/fuck buddy/ or whatever to really win this discussion on it.

Is she attractive? Sure...I guess.

Am I attracted to her? No. But that wouldn't stop me from fucking her cuz she's alright in my book.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

Just because I might fuck someone if they're in front of me doesn't mean I want to watch them on a giant screen for 2+ hours.

Re: Transformers 3 Announced

Goes right back to my disagreement with...I can't even remember who regarding Michelle Rodriguez. He said he would 100% NOT bang Michelle Rodriguez and I found that to be crazy because she might not be the hottest girl in the world but she's hot enough where she shouldn't automatically be disregarded because she's too ugly to have a one night stand with. So, that said, I agree with what you're saying.

However...I'm white, fatter than I used to be, I don't live in my mom's basement and I don't consider myself a fuck, but given the chance (which I'll never actually get, but we can pretend) I'd bang her for sure, but that doesn't mean I find her to be a great beauty.

And when you compare her to Megan Fox...especially how she looks in the Transformers movies it's not even a contest. Does that mean I'd blow her off if she was all over me? Of course not, but in my little fantasy world if I got to choose between Megan Fox and this girl it wouldn't even really be a choice. And obviously this is all based on looks and what these two girls look like in movies and photo shoots when they're all done up as we have no idea what they're really like, but like you said, we're on the internet, so it's all about being superficial.

But back to the original comment. She looks nothing like Megan Fox.

I thought the backlash against Hot Rod was ridiculous in 1986, when I was seven. Still do. His was a typical "chosen adventurer" story (to borrow from Cinescopes): guy screws up, guy redeems himself, guy becomes hero. He'll always be inferior to Optimus Prime, of course, but that's a bit like saying that a president will always be inferior to Lincoln. It's a given, and I think we're better off evaluating the character for himself than for who he isn't.

As for killing off Optimus, I sincerely hope that they realize they squandered that story idea with Revenge of the Fallen. Forget the fact they've established that Optimus can be resurrected seemingly at will; we as an audience have already seen him die. We won't go for it again.

Oh, who the hell am I kidding?
