I used to live just three blocks from the AMC on Van Ness. [le sigh]
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a question or two for people that saw Transformers:
- What was the bad guy's original plan?
- What was the good guys' plan
- How was the bad guy defeated?
At least that's what I saw, and it doesn't make much sense.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Alas, ita, while I've not seen the movie, I have a feeling that "It's a Michael Bay movie" figures heavily into the answer to all of your questions.

Compassionately intolerant
ita, I read the moviespoiler.com synopsis and if the reporting is at all correct, I'd say 'yup' to all your questions.
Phew. moviespoiler saves me again!

Oh, man, we laughed forever at how the black Transformer was the only Autobot killed. One of the people I was arguing with said he wasn't black, more silver-coloured which was a cute-assed way of misreading the description. I mean, as far as we could tell his first line is "What's up, bitches?" and then he does some spontaneous (you know how we are with rhythm) breakdancing. And dies.
IT'S ALWAYS THE WAY. WE DON'T GET NO JUSTICE.
I'm also still creeped out by the scene near the end where our intrepid young heroes are making out ON THE SENTIENT CAR while others watch. Kiddy porn, anyone?
The movie cracked me up, but I cannot call it good. For something that funny...well, it just cracks enjoyable.
This week I'm going to see the new HP, and from not reading the whitefont here, I'm very excited. Friend doesn't read the books, just watches the movies, so I'm curious to watch his take.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I laughed at (bitterly) and was creeped out by the same things.
