Goddamnit, NOOOOOOO

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The last part of that article talked about them trying to a dead done for Magnum P.I. Damn I loved that show, it was nice to see Tom Selleck shit over the idea on T.V. talking about how it would just be another movie that spoofs the show horribly ala the Starsky and Hutch movie. Hollywood won't be happy till they fuck up everything produced in the last 30 years.

The last time Spielberg had the touch was when he made "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

Call me crazy, but I think the original Transformer movie wasn't as good as we might remember.

There were big fucking problems w\ it, like when the Decepticons board the ship in the first few scenes & start blasting & actually killing everyone in sight. Fucking robots battling each other for YEARS and a significant portion just up & die in one fight?

I'll not get into my rant on the flick. I still say it kicks ass, though. It kicks more ass than anything Steve can churn out nowadays. & they can't resurrect Orson Welles or Scatman Crothers. There's no way in hell they'd get Leonard Nimoy again. The flick perfectly captures the main players. Leave it the fuck be. Unless Steve's talking about the new fucked up cartoons released in the recent years, then he's free to fuck about w\ them however he wants as they suck already.

I saw a Transformers trailer at Pirates of the Caribbean.

I didn't even know what it was until the end when they put the word "Transformers" on the screen.

That movie is gonna have so fucking much blue/green screen work, it won't even be funny.

Ewen MacGregor kinda bitched about all the blue screen work he'd to do for Lucas.

Ewen's an idiot. That's like bitching about doing gross or scary stuff when you get on "Fear Factor".

The voice of Optimus Prime in the cartoon is going to voice him for the film.

I just want Starscream to be in it and to be a total prick like before. Best Transformer by far.

Sweet. They can probably get Frank Welker to reprise Megatron as well.

Fuck, yes.

List of characters in the film.
Optimus Prime - "The king!"

Bumblebee - "He's the same underdog character we always knew and loved." [Note: Except he's a Camaro in the new movie.]

Jazz - "He's eager to take on the Decepticons."

Ratchet - "Ratchet, who was an ambulance in the cartoon, will appear in a new form."

Ironhide - "The muscle. A tough soldier who can make any Transformer bust an o-ring just with his stare!"


Decepticons

Megatron - "He's been portrayed as pure evil but we're trying to get a little bit behind the evil in this movie. ... He has a slightly less idealistic version of what he thinks humanity is worth."

Starscream - "Always secretly plotting to dethrone Megatron..."

Brawl - "An extremely pissed off Decepticon."

Bonecrusher - "The closest thing to a Constructicon in the film."

Barricade - "The hunter of the group -- a cop car."

Scorpinok - "Closest thing to Beast Wars or Dinobot in the film."

Frenzy - "A smaller form able to infiltrate spaces -- a stealth spy."

Blackout - "The guy who takes out our ability to fight back."


I don't get bumblebee being a fucking camaro? What is underdog about a camaro? Or what is bumblebee about a camaro? When I see a camaro no matter what you think about the car or drivers you don't think about cute, friendly, underdog, meek, etc. I'm not ready to write this film off but still this is lame.

No grimlock or other dinobots is a bummer. Not sure what it was about them, they really didn't make any sense but still kicked ass, like the insecticons.

Also ratchet the medic of the group is no longer an ambulance. Why would you make the medic something else? Maybe a hearse if he is a bad medic.
