    makes me want to have Michael Bay's baby.

    /Only two extra scenes during the credits. You don't need to stay to the very end.

    Since the first one broke some sort of Talmudic ground in plot development, I'll imagine the discussions groups at the leading universities of the world on the sequel will raise human intelligence by mere osmosis as they ponder the multi-layered intricacies of the Michael Bay plot.

    They might have to invent a new language just to sort through the Babelian twists and turns.

    Either that or they'll just drool over whatherface's (Megan Fox) body.

    (Sorry mb, I just really hated the Transformers movie when I caught it on HBO.)

    I've heard pretty bad things about this one thus far but I'll be headed out Sunday to see it. I don't expect much so it won't be hard for me to be pleasantly surprised.

    I'm not necessarily pointing this at you, Schz, because you're not the only one, but I don't understand that line of thinking.

    Unless you have a significant other that wants to see it, if you don't expect much, why see it? I've never understood why people would pay to see something they were tepid about seeing.

    James Rocchi basically torn the movie apart. I usually take what most movie critics say with a grain of salt, but I thought I'd post this.

    I haven't heard good things. Usually that means I'll love it. I'm seeing it.

    I usually hate whatever happens under Michael Bay's direction.

    Read that one, too. I'll still see it, but not optimistic about the reviews. I didn't realize that the move was two and a half hours long, either. Damn...

    God, Ebert can review the hell out of a movie.

    I'm not expecting much from it as a movie but I know the explosions are going to be awesome and there's just nothing like seeing this kind of popcorn flick in a crowded theater. So, while I may not enjoy the film itself, I'm sure it'll be worth my time.

    Blown away by the James Rocchi reference. We went to university together. Didn't realize he'd become such a success. Very happy for him, he's a hell of a guy.
