INORITE? It's funny though. If it had never been a play, just a book to film, and they were doing it with puppets I'd be all: why puppets?
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Man, there are some funny lines in the review ita linked.
The main emotion that comes off Shia LaBoeuf, from the first frame to the last, is a bitchy, indignant rage, interspersed with feeble attempts at ingratiation.
(Forget the Director's Cut. For movies like this, we need the Bathroom Attendant's Cut.)
New leading lady Rosie Huntington-Whitely — who makes Megan Fox seem like Katharine Hepburn — spends the final hour of the movie looking as though she's ready to have a nervous breakdown and give a lapdance.
OMG HA. Yeah, I am so not seeing this movie. Even (and especially) if Alan Tudyk "impersonates a gay ex-Nazi manservant in a weird suit."
Not that I was considering seeing it anyway. Being assaulted by the trailer the other night was plenty.

The story and the acting are not what I go to see a Michael Bay film for. Giant robots destroying Chicago? Yes, must see this on the big screen.

The lure of constant sensory battery is not usually enough to get me to buy a ticket, and neither Shia nor the chick are my idea of teh hott. I'd rather watch Inception. Again. And again. And again...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Giant robots destroying Chicago? Yes, must see this on the big screen.
For three HOURS, though?

I'm sure it could use some editing. But yeah. I'll probably go on a Monday matinee.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know what I realized? I have only seen 2 Michael Bay directed movies:
"The Rock" and "The Island."
Apparently if the movie is directed by Bay and does not begin with "the", I will not see it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, if only you'd seen The Con Air or The Bad Boys or The Transformers !

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's funny, le nubian. I had to check imdb to see what of his I'd seen, and seems to be just Bad Boys, Armageddon, The Rock and the first Transformers (which I hated. I like to see explosions as much as the next person, but something about the way the robots were rendered did not work for me at all). I guess I like his earlier work?
