The Transformers 2:FAQ from Topless Robot
SPOILER WARNING BUT FUNNY AS HELL!

This poster sums it up beautifully! 1)Megan Fox 2)Megan Fox's clevage 3)La Beef 4)and coming up a misty, distant fourth, the Transformers themselves

Hey, no one was more surprised than me that I didn't hate it with all the bile and fervor I could muster. Yes, it is a relentless, kinetic, nonsensical mess, but what do you expect from a Michael Bay movie about giant robot based of an extended toy commercial?
The plot is ... I think the kindest way to phrase it might be 'psychotically schizophrenic'. Characters appear and disappear for no apparent reason even in linked scenes. The two 'comic relief' autobots are outright offensive, and not only in a racial stereotyped way …but also painfully non-funny. Logic and continuity, both internally and from the first movie is just gone, don’t even bother trying to make it fit. LeBeef is getting twitchier and harder to watch every movie and giving him a 'funny' roommate who’s harder to watch than he is was not a wise move. And finally the movie still focuses too much LeBeef/Military guys, not enough on the robots.

Oh yeah, and the two words that will keep you up at night: Robot Scrotum.

But why did I not hate it? Because I think it was better than the first one. I REALLY didn't like the first movie. This movie mercifully dumps that idiotic Allspark maguffin idea for 'The Matrix' and 'energon' which at least are consistent with previous generations. They also seem to have made somewhat of an effort to distinguish the robots this time; I could actually tell Starscream and Megatron apart in one scene! Plus Soundwave and Ravage make an appearance, which will always be cool.
Don't misunderstand ... this is still an awful, awful thing. While I saw this in a theatre, I'm not really sure it can be called a 'film'. The plot, characters and locations change at whim; the fight scenes are nonsensical; the laws of physics are gleefully ignored (those robots are NIMBLE!); and they still seem to have a bizarre fetish for the robot's bodily fluids, this time including vomit and a prehensile tongue that is sure to play a disturbing role in Transformers slash fic for years to come.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of the summer blockbuster, but this film elevates that to a whole new level where nothing matters but a constant stream of exploding special effects and infantile humour.
It is now only a matter of time before we get "Ow My Balls! The Movie!"

Eets Thursday!

We know Guppy is out already cause she going to a kung-fu bachelor party (let the jokes begin) Jericho and Vlad are you in? One of our expansion players wants to start a campaign, so we'll be making AD&D 4.0 characters tonight. If 4.0 winds up being the suck, the campaign will revert to 3.5 rules.

What might prompt Dr.X to buy a four hundred dollar machine plus a fifty dollar game, a fighting one at that?

From the upcoming Tekken 6. Yes, that is who you think it is...

Despite the existential, neverending mess that is Transformers 2 (we're seeing it friday because Witchcraft is a HUGE Transformers fan and I can't refuse when she asks nice), I just wanted to show that there are still a few real Transformers fans left in the world. This was built out of a REAL FRAKING VOLKSWAGON BEETLE!

Another Icon of Geek Night Passed Light Night...

My parents had to have the old grump put down last night. Goodbye Calvin. I miss having you around.


A bit of trivia for the St.Matt crowd to make you feel old: my sister brought him home from the farm the day after our prom.

On Thursday we shall mourn the passing of a titan (no, not Ed McMahon)



The last of the named cars of the IG, Precious, shall fade into legend as she is scrapped due to the $3000+ repair work that would be needed to keep her running.



So please a moment of silence for the soon to be departed. She has served us well, with Geek Night runs and helping to teach Jericho to drive even.

You shall be missed Precious. Godspeed!
