Transformers

[LUKIE]

I haven't seen it yet (given I have no life, and no one to see it with), but as soon as I read that there was no mention of Unicron, nor Unicron actually in the movie, I have already given the movie a solid rating of -**********.

Transformers - Unicron = FAIL!

I saw it twice because I loved it so fucking much. It was hilarious and awesome.

I quite enjoyed it, but it did tend to get annoying at times when a cliche "Michael Bay Moment" overshadowed the actual Transformers. It's like the film is 50% awesome transforming robots from our childhood, 50% cliched dross from modern hack Michael Bay.

Still, it had fighting robots.

So in the latest HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray news, Paramount Pictures dropped support for BR and has gone exclusively HD-DVD. Which leads us to this story:

So by now you've heard that Paramount has dropped support for Blu-ray right? Good, so has a notable Hollywood director. Michael Bay -- the man behind "Transformers," "Bad Boys," "Pear Harbor," etc. -- just threw down with Paramount in his personal blog. In a forum post titled "Paramount pisses me off!", he states, "I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For them to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks! They were progressive by having two formats. No Transformers 2 for me!" That's right Mike, aim your PS3 right at their coffers!

So Michael Bay says he won't direct Transformers 2?

THANK YOU DEAR LORD JESUS!

I really liked it. Apparently, they weren't sure how it'd do at the box office, hence less of the 'bots and more of the humanoids.

I wondered that after the movie. The world is saved so all the damage they caused would be forgiven, but when the world isn't in peril and they're leaving craters all over the fucking place, who's going to pay to fix that?

"Last night at dinner I was having dinner with three Blu-Ray owners, they were pissed about no Transformers Blu-Ray and I drank the kool aid hook line and sinker. So at 1:30 in the morning I posted - nothing good ever comes out of early am posts mind you - I over reacted. I heard where Paramount is coming from and the future of HD and players that will be close to the $200 mark which is the magic number. I like what I heard. As a director, I'm all about people seeing films in the best quality possible, and I saw and heard firsthand people upset about a corporate decision. So today I saw 300 on HD-DVD, it rocks! So I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!"
