Isn't that the chick from "Confessions of a teenage drama queen"?
She's got the looks, i'll give her that, I just hope she took some acting lessons in the mean time.
It's one of the chicks from the OC. Pretty much the cast leads like a list of who is hot looking in Hollywood. This is something that I feel is a Michael Bay weakness is that he will sacrifice talent for eye candy.
The announcement that Peter Cullen will voice Optimus tells me that he does know talent and will choose it when looks don't matter.
Seriously?! What is it him as a grandpa and dying this time?
I seriously don't know how many their are and what order they go in.
Well, the newest movies are restarting the series. Thsi newest one he battles the Joker. The newest movie is actually very good in my opinion and truer to the comics. But there are six Batman movies:
1) TV show movie.
2) Batman - Michael Keaton (Joker)
3) Batman Returns - Michael Keaton (Penguin)
4) Batman Forever - Val Kilmer (Two Face/Riddler)
5) Batman and Robin - George Clooney (Mr Freeze/Poison Ivy/Bane)
6) Batman Begins - Christian Bale (Scarecrow/Ra's Al Ghul)
I then took the proceeds of the sale and bought a generation one Optimus Prime.
The one where the trailer turns into a base with launching missiles and a done? That was the most awesome toy ever!
In the next couple of years remaining where I had any interest in playing with toys I collected a Megatron
He he, the trigger was his crotch.
So you might say I'm about the perfect candidate to feel nostalgic about this film and perhaps resent any sort of tinkering Bay, Spielburg, et al might have done to the screen play.
But the fact is... I've finally decided I don't really care how they've changed things around. Okay, so Optimus is no longer a Kenworth K-100 and Jazz isn't a Martini Porsche. What about exactly about the details of their robot forms/Earth forms made any difference in the enjoyment of the toys?
Maybe it's just the pragmatist in me, but hell, I don't care what they look like. As long as they look good enough to make me suspend my disbelief for 2 hours I don't see what the big deal is. I just like the idea of big robots stomping around crushing stuff and blowing **** up.
Honestly, I agree for teh most part. It was eth characters that made them what they are. The fact that they actually had a good story didn't hurt. But in design I merely ask that I be able to look at one of them and immediately know who it is. I have shown Megatron images to a few friends without saying what it was and they thought it was a new horror movie creature, not a robot. Michael Bay decided the Decepticons should look more evil and sinister, but forgot that they are from the same planet and are part of the same race. Psychotic killers and dictators don't stand out looking like ugly, sinister, evil men, they just look like men. I don't care if they change the look, but a bit of consistency would help.
My other fear is that Michael Bay will Bay this up. Transformers was more than just transforming robots caught up in a war. They had character and a classic story. Neither of these are things Michael Bay does well.
The best comparison would be War of the Worlds. I was excited about an update, but the plot holes and the cheesiness of the whole thing ruined it. My fear is that they will do the same thing to Transformers. War of the worlds was just a bad movie and I think that may be the outcome of this.
I'm not sure what all of the complaining is about. I mean sure, I was a fan of the original show, and I had several of the toys and such, but I'm not pissing and moaning about a modernization of the franchise. Those of you who continue to complain about the movie, all I can say is suck it up. Get over it. At least Spielberg is producing it, otherwise we would have another over-produced Bruckheimer flick on our hands.
Spielberg also did War of the Worlds and I have made my feelings known about that in this and many other posts.
...So the cars are different? Deal with it, this is 2006, not 1986.
...So the story is a little different? Again, this is 2006, not 1986, and there is an entirely new generation to get excited over the franchise. If anything, you should be excited that kids will be able to enjoy Transformers all over again, as the current iterations aren't all too great.
An update is great. But as you brought up wit the current iterations, updates can suck. This is my fear. As I have said all the way through this thread, I am holding final judgement for the final product.
Then guess what? You'll go out and see it, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. But guess what? You just paid the folks who made the movie, and you justified a sequel (that will probably happen anyway).
Can someone please explain why I can't get my money back on a bad movie the way I can bad food or a bad product?
But yes, they will get my money because at least they tried and I want the full effect of the big screen for this movie. (fingers crossed they put it on IMAX)
Its funny how fanboys work sometimes, isn't it?
Fanboy I may be, but at least I am saying that it doesn't look promising, not accusing Bay of ruining my childhood or many of the other overly dramatic things I have seen on other sites.
The trailer looks ok. The only thing that bugged me is that when they transformed, they didn't make the noise. You know,
the noise. If they don't have that, i'm not going near it.
That is something I can live without. Characterization is the biggest issue that must be met and is something that cannot be judged until the movie is viewed in full.
Let me clarify something here. My biggest issue with this movie is Michael Bay. Armageddon was OK, The Rock was pretty good, and everything else he has done has been horrible in my mind. He couldn't take Pearl Harbor serious long enough to properly make a point about the event. If he can't take something like that serious enough how can I expect him to take something that is truly not important serious?
Then the designs: Autobots and Decepticons look completely different. That alone creates a plot hole, especially considering some of the details I have heard from the script that is too spoilerish for me to reveal here. I will give it to anyone who PMs me though. Then putting that aside, the designs appear to be a ripoff from other designs. Something new would be great and more easily accepted but robots that look like they came form other toylines gone cartoons/comics is not acceptable. If you are going to copy a design then at least copy a Transformers design.
Those are my two issues. Everything else I am so far fine with.
) and the quality is very good. The player is a java applet, so be sure to have it on your pc.
She gave me such a headache. 
Nice find though.
