askye, that shot you want for your wallpaper was pretty awesome. As Vonnie said, it's very iconic. I half-expected the movie to end right there.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
John Rogers is one of the writers for Transformers. I had no idea it was supposed to be a dramatic and scary thing. Huh.

I had to laugh at the Transformers trailer because it didn't look anything like what I remember from the cartoon.

The trailer makes it look like the movie is from a human point-of-view (Robots are fighting! Aaaaah!!!) rather than the robot point-of-view. In other words, it doesn't look like it's actually about the Transformers at all.
But Michael Bay is directing, so lots of shit will blow up! Yay!

I half-expected the movie to end right there.
P-C, I think it did. Everything else was just wrapping up, showing the conflict between Will and Elizabeth that will be present in the next movie, and setting up the cliffhanger. If they just stopped right there there would be too much confusion, I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It was lunchtime. My hands were full.
