TRANSFORMERITES REPRESENT YO!

I know i can't pull that off.

[LL!]

Transformers and everything involved have always sucked.

[LittleDaniel]

The ride at Universal Studios is okay.

[LL!]

I found it pretty lame. It's pretty much a carbon copy of Spider-Man but longer and not as thrilling (which isn't to say Spider-Man is very thrilling to begin with.)

[LittleDaniel]

Huh, I like the Spiderman ride. Though I'd definitely say the Transformers ride is not as thrilling as Spiderman, but Spidey is one of my favorite rides at Universal.

[LL!]

I'm not saying Spidey is bad or anything. It's not my favorite ride in the parks, but it's fun. Transformers felt like it was ripping it off way too much and that became a huge turn off for me.

[GoGo Yubari]

I dug Beast Wars when I was a kid? That's... about it.

[Colly]

I liked Transformers as a kid, but I don't feel like the films raped my childhood or similar, I just didn't think they were remotely good films.

Bad Boys and Armageddon on the other hand are actually pretty good, so I don't think expecting something reasonable was particularly silly.

I hated the Transformers movies because I loved the toys, the comics and the cartoons as I was growing up, then they announced Michael Bay was directing and I had no idea who that was. Wikipedia quickly told me he directed Armageddon, which I loved and had some pretty awesome action scenes to boot, so I was excited.

Then I saw the movie and wanted to throw up. In Michael Bay's face.

Everything after that just got worse. It's not that it's a Michael Bay movie for me, it's that it's a Transformers movie, a frnachise I fucking love.

Also, GoGo is right, Beast Wars was bad ass.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

I remember liking Transformers. But Transformers 3 was just a movie where you could tell that even the actors didn't believe the horseshit there were saying. Hearing McDreamy using the phrase "Lord Megatron" or whoever who he was talking to was embarrassing.

[LittleDaniel]

Yo LL, how was Black Fish?

[LL!]

Ah yes. I forgot to report.

It made me sad, angry, and want to do something about it. So it did its job.

[Benjamin]

Jeff Jarrett in Spring Breakers was the weirdest thing ever.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Alright, so I'm watching RoboCop now and never expected to see the guy in there who plays Red Foreman in That 70's Show.

[Damian WayLNKe]

Jeff Jarrett in Spring Breakers was the weirdest thing ever.

Weirder than Ken Shamrock in Scarecrow Gone Wild?

[Maxx]

Ah yes. I forgot to report.

It made me sad, angry, and want to do something about it. So it did its job.

As in it made you want to take out that serial killer whale, right?

[Your Mom]

What does Martin Scorcese actually have to do with that kung fu movie? I'm curious whether this is some weird oddity I need to seek out or not

Alright, so I'm watching RoboCop now and never expected to see the guy in there who plays Red Foreman in That 70's Show.

I love Robocop! It may be in like my top 15 ever. Top 20 for sure

[Your Mom]

Also I dont know what Insidious 2 is but it's preview was freaky as hell!

[Benjamin]

I want to see Srar's Top 20 Favorite Movies.

Not much, really. He's just lending his name to draw attention to it. Not sure if it's a favor or if he liked it or whatever but he has no involvement with it other than using his name to advertise it.
