Just got back from seeing Transformers with the Niecephews. I really liked it, which I did not expect. Lots of truly excellent snark. The effects are mostly fun and fantastic and Shia Laboef is a freaking STAR.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Transformers -- I was expecting it to be shit -- and I didn't think it was a good movie -- but it's hilarious. I think a 13 year old splurghed on 200 pages of script, then somebody went in and made it funny.
I'm watching Night of the Comet. I can't think of a single film that was a bigger influence on Buffy.
Night of the Comet was supposed to be on UniversalHD on Sunday, but it got cancelled for... Firefly.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think it helps if you go into Transformers expecting shit. But also I think the show casts a sort of thrall because now when I walk by the theatre and hear Optimus talking out of context I find it very silly but I remember in the moment being all, "Optimus is cool!"

All the shout-outs to the cartoon are pretty damn goofy, but fun while they are happening.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Robin, does liking the movie make it easier to answer questions here: ita "Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape" Jul 17, 2007 7:28:19 am PDT
Because...there's no way I can get past those questions and enjoy dumb stuff like robot cars rollerblading (it's in the trailers, which is why I'm not whitefonting). What they missed out on, though was having the black Autobot a) be an Escalade or the appropriate equivalent and b) doing the robot. Comedy gold, I tell ya!
