I think I thought Armageddon was fine.

Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
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?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
There's these alien robots that turn into cars and trucks and things explode.
What's not to get?
EXACTLY.

Hee. I mostly cared about the giant asteroid or whatever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank you. Silly movie.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I saw Transformers again recently, I think it's great fun. My friend actually cheered (in the cinema) when Optimus Prime appeared.
