More Than Meets The Eye

I am pumped. Took the kid to see Shrek today and saw a trailer for The Transformers.

Holy Fucking Shit does this look like a kick-ass movie, which is amazing because I don't usually go for the summer blockbusters (haven't even seen Spidy or PofC 2 yet and they're about to release threequels).

But watching The Transformers trailer brought back memories from 20 years ago playing Transformers on the carpet with my little brother ...

I haven't been this excited about a movie since Batman (the first one.)

 

What's the bad guy's name again?

 

Megatron. Hugo Weaving is doing the voice.

 

It's a Michael Bay movie, so there's a real good chance it's going to suck to high heaven..

It's like getting a chance to hook up with the hottest girl in high school only to find out that she's a nun.

 

fixed.

 

Forgot about him doing the voice....I can definitely picture that.

Yahoo had another trailer a few days ago. The link is below. Also some good pictures to see what the Transformers look like.

America has, for the last 25 years, yearned for a Transformers vs. Gobots movie. The prophecy cannot be completed until this happens.

 

I always liked the Gobots better.

 

i miss write-brained already. i think his presence will be missed on this board.

 

Ok, even I wouldn't go see that. And I bought the original Transformers vs. G.I. Joe miniseries back in the '80s.

 

At first I was very suspect on this but after seeing the various TV spots, Shrek trailer, PoTC trailer and the new online trailer along with what seems thousands of pictures; I believe it'll be good.

The only problems I had (initially) were Bumblebee being a huge player (he's a camaro for crying out loud, though that's along story as VW didn't want the bug represented as a war machine), Jazz being smaller than BB, Starscream having chicken legs, and some other stuff (no Ark or Teletran-1).

So, does this mean I'll be able to put all my old Transformers on ebay and make a killing now?
