'Safe'
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.
Because Peter Cullen did the voice of Prime for both.
I didn't know that...which says something about how different my ears are now than they were then...or the resonance has taken on epic proportions in my memory.
Not that I didn't like the voice in the film, it just didn't make me all wibbly like it used to.
I'm just old and crusty I guess.
I tend to think of most of those Michael Bay movies (as listed by P-C) as Bruckheimer movies. And, the ones I've seen, I liked fine. Except Transformers. Transformers was just not spectacular enough, it did not wow me like I expected to be wowed.
Optimus Prime is Eeyore
Eeyore is Jewish
And Val Kilmer is Moses.
QED
I think I thought Armageddon was fine.
3 words: Animal. Cracker. Scene.
I really liked THE ROCK when it came out, but haven't seen it in years, and I suspect it would be retroactively tainted by SMARMAGEDDON among other items in Bay's "oeuvre".
It was a Nicholas Cage movie in which Anthony Clark portrayed a character so stereotypically gay (in a mocking, disparaging manner) that he made Jack McFarlan look like Ennis Del Mar. You can imagine how thrilled I was while watching it.

Two more words: Space. Dementia.

I am now earwormed with "Hooray for Captain Spalding!"
I am now earwormed with "Hooray for Captain Spalding!"
Isn't that a good? Certainly infinitely better than remembering that scene in ARMAGEDDON.

Now I want to hear Steve Buscemi doing Ren's ice-cream bar soliliquy.
Two more words: Space. Dementia.
Now I'm imagining Steve Buscemi saying "Oh, my beloved ice-cream bar. How I love to lick your creamy center. And your oh, so nutty chocolate covering. You're not like the others. You like the same things I do: Wax paper. Boiled football leather. Dog breath. We're not hitchhiking anymore. We're riding!"
BOOM! Ren & Stimpy x-post!
How often do you see that?
