River ,'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.
There's these alien robots that turn into cars and trucks and things explode.
What's not to get?
EXACTLY.

Thank you. Silly movie.
I saw Transformers again recently, I think it's great fun. My friend actually cheered (in the cinema) when Optimus Prime appeared.
Thank you. Silly movie.
It was written by Alias writers. Of course there was a cube-shaped McGuffin that suddenly became bad at the end.

Awesome!

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.
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.

Nutty is Judge Judy!

Please, feel free to make my points for me. Not an artist.
Hec, how do you define artist? I agree with Nutty's suspicion of the romantic and tortured definition making the whole point.
Whatever Michael Bay is, I think there's a lot more legwork to be done in terms of assessing the frequency of mental illness in the arts and outside them.
