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

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.

Two more words: Space. Dementia.
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.
(Although, ita, I definitely understand your frustration, as the resolution indeed made no sense at all.)
3 words: Animal. Cracker. Scene.
Hee. I mostly cared about the giant asteroid or whatever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How often do you see that?
Here?

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.

It was written by Alias writers. Of course there was a cube-shaped McGuffin that suddenly became bad at the end.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I hated The Rock, but at least it actually knew that Alcatraz is a national park, and not, say a secret government research facility.
X-Men #3, I am talking to you.
The problem with Michael Bay movies overall, for me, is that he appears intent on positing the human species as too dumb to live. Blow stuff up all you like, bub, but don't piss up my leg and tell me it's raining.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Certainly infinitely better than remembering that scene in ARMAGEDDON.
That's why I mentioned it. I figured it could only help. Not that I've seen Armageddon.
