The movie can't come out soon enough.

And no, I don't care that I'm geeky.

There are two distinct ways this movie can go.  Fun( ala The Rock ) or total ass chewing terrible( ala Pearl Harbor ).  Micheal Bay only has two modes.

I'm not a huge fan of Bay, but I have trouble thinking of a better director for this project.  The film needs to be flashy, loud, and exciting, with little to no depth.

You are absolutely correct.

1. Peter Cullen must do Optimus Prime.
2. Optimus Prime must be based on the original cartoon version.
3. If Jazz is in the film, they must splice together old Scatman Crothers sound bites.

Original widescreen with no cuss words

Fullscreen with the cuss words

The latter of the two is available on DVD.

As said by Devin at chud (http://www.chud.com):

QuoteThere's something about the Transformers animated movie that never ceases to touch the emotionally stunted and socially retarded among us. I see people talking about this cartoon as if knocking off a couple of robots was edgy (and by the way, I refuse to be in a room alone with anyone who, as an adult, gets emotional over the death of Optimus Prime. Ugh), and using the fact that Orson Welles was in it as proof of some level of quality. It's actually sad that Welles' last role was in this film, which was even worse than that one GI Joe miniseries where Cobra Commander became an actual snake.

It made me snicker.

I want to share this, but it is apparently being yanked off the Net by the suits in lickety split time.  As such, I will just link it and an admin can delete the link if they want to.  And I apologize in advance if I erred.

Anyway, someone got a pic of what Optimus looks like in vehicle form.  One could say that it may or may not be true, but since aintitcool was asked to take it down I think we can assume it is likely true.  And if you go and see the reaction here (http://www.aintitcool.com/tb_display.cgi?id=23825#1215691), you can tell the fans are not happy (as well as racist, in a few cases).  Not surprising.  Though it may just be a toy franchise to most people, Optimus was iconic to a whole generation of kids, and messing with his look is pretty stupid since that is the audience you need to come fill seats on opening day. 

Aintitcool was told to take down the pic.  But this is the Internet, and nerds have their ways.

I may have already posted this in here, I don't know, but I read an interview with the Transformers movie writers, and they said "well, the script is done, but we've been asked to go back and put in a hook for a sequel."  Basically, to mess with a completed script that may be ready to go and be a great movie.

It's like, we KNOW there's going to be a sequel to everything.  Why do we NEED the hook?

The newly enhanced transfer is gorgeous.  Some of the extras are okay, but aren't overtly revealing.  There's next to nothing on the new movie, though there is a little bit of live action footage (minus the bots) that shows you the scope of how big these things will be.  They also speak of  car chase in the film where a car going 80mph will transform into robot form in midchase and keep running at that speed.  That right there is enough to get my money (like I wouldn't have gone anyways).  Spielberg even shows up, though his involvement brings nothing to the sneak peek.

Okay, I saw another trailer tonight on the NCAA finals game during a commercial break, VERY KEWL.  I'm thinking it's a smarter update of Maximum Overdrive with Michael Bay at the helm.  But seeing as how Bay is involved, it gets a few minus points for smarts because his stuff historically is lacking that the IQ department.

I was thinking abuot the old transformers cartoon?  has it aged well? Memory would say 'no'. 

I'm still sort of traumatized by the horrible  screaming and graphic deaths during the first cartoon movie.  I honestly think of it as a culturally definitive moment for a generation otherwise insulated from suffering (yet living in a Cold War milieu).

Well, the stories don't maintain the interest like they did for us as children, but all things considered they held up better than some others 80s staples.  They seem less ridiculous to me now than the G.I. Joe cartoons, for whatever reason.

From what I can remember and from what wikipedia tells me, post-movie Transformers cartoons had a bit omore of an edge and less stilted characters.  The Autobots always lacked personality, but Machevellian Starscream?  "Brooklyn" Rumble?  Swindle?  Soundwave?  Ass kisser shockwave?
And this little gem I found!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_End_%28Transformers%29#Transformers:_Generation_1_.281986.29  I vaguely remember the British accent Decepticons.   He's so emo! 


Remember when Unicron ate Cybertron (or one of its moons) and you could see various Transformers being digested and screaming and melting inside his stomach? Edgy as fuck

All in all I don't care that much.

I would have preferred to see the G1 and G2 cartoon only made with mid 2000s style story arcs and fascinating character interactions. The Transformers as a whole actually form a pastiche of various neuroses, doubts fears and ids of a genreation.  or it could been.  It was an ensemble drama in its finest.  Or it could have been. 

Basically, I want a grown up version of the cartoon with the same characters.

The funny thing is, they could leave that box empty and no one would ever notice.  No one is going to let their kid play with an $80 transformer, and no one who buys it for himself is going to devalue it by opening it, since he knows he's too old to actually play with it.

Watch it from home on the 3rd of July.

Legally.

At first, I thought that was stupid.  Then I realized that if you have seven people watch it at your house, it's cheaper than going out to see the movie.  And you can totally have a circlejerk if you wanted.

Exactly, and if you have a great system to watch it, it's better than dealing with shmoes at the theater.  Plus you can eat and drink what you want when you want.

Plus, you know, the circle jerk.

I would pay $50 to be able to watch it at home, especially if it were in HD. I paid that much just to buy the tickets to Spider Man 3, and I had to sit in a crowded theater to watch it.

If you happen to see one of the prints of Transformers that has the "secret" teaser in front of it, please don't come back and ruin it for anyone.  It is supposedly quite fun and conversation inducing, but less so if you know it's coming.  We may want to discuss it here, of course, but let's do it in small print so we don't ruin anyone's fun.

It starts at 8pm tonight nationwide.

The teaser is "secret" in that the whole project has been kept under wraps and the teaser itself doesn't even have the name of the film on it.  I'm not sure there is a name for the film yet.  I know what the shooting title is, but I doubt they stick with it.  At any rate, those folks who have seen it are apparently all abuzz about it.

They're referring to it as "The Parasite".  But the cool thing is the whole film is supposed to be seen through the cameras of typical New Yorkers, who all record the events as they occur.  Not unlike all the people who busted out their cameras during 9/11.  I'm pretty sure that's never been done before.  And it could suck, but it also might be awesome.

I will say one thing - if you're one of those people that can't let their inner child come through, don't even bother going to see this movie.  You have to be willing to turn back into your 10 year old self, playing with your Transformers.  This is no classical masterpiece.  But I can say that I have *never* in my life cheered for the good guys so hard.

I went to all first showings of the last 3 Star Wars movies, the cheering and applause was more than all 3 of those combined during The Transformers.  Anytime Optimus Prime came on screen, the audience went nuts.  Granted, 95% of the audience was around my age.  And this movie was way funnier than I expected.  Not to mention, Shia LeBeouf (sp?) did a phenomenal job.  They did the casting for that role perfectly.  I can't imagine them having found anyone better to play Sam.

Have you played the new one?

I had the one they made for the PS2 a few years back.  It was merely okay.  They never gave you a real reason to transform, so even though you had the ability it was useless to do so.
Title: Re: Robots in Disguise...
Post by: ReBurn on July 05, 2007, 12:56:15 PM
The new one looks good, but is pretty shallow. It is more fun to play as the decepticons because you have license to blow stuff up. When you play as the autobots you get penalized for damage you do, but everything breaks so easily. It is the average, mediocre movie video game.

Best extended lunch break ever! I can't wait to see it again! Robots, car chases, explosions, innuendo, comedy...oh man. And just the right amount of cheese thrown in.

I wanna be Optimus Prime, too!
I love all the throw backs to the first movie.  I :heart: this movie soooo much. 
Me, too! They just HAVE to make another one! And they just HAVE to have Megan Fox check under the hood again!

As of today it's already made back it's production budget.

It cost less than half of POTC 3, but was twice as fun and exciting.  And was a HUGE leap forward in special effects (save for a shot or two), like watching Jurassic Park the first time and realizing you're seeing something totally new.

The robots looked amazing.

And yeah, I totally wanted to but tickets to see it again immediately.  But I couldn't because we went to...

OK- 2nd movie in the mini-movie-marathon today.

I dragged my "I'm not in to Transformers" son to see it after we'd seen Evan Almighty.  Free movies, why not?  Lots of eye rolling and threatening to walk home.

I whooped and clapped twice during the film, including the "one shall rise, and one shall fall" part.  Sadly, I was the only one that did.  I guess all the geeks already saw it.  Totally embarassed my son.

As the action progressed, Tim sat forward in his seat and started DEVOURING the popcorn.  Then, at the end, he turned to me and said "That was really cool!"  I said we'd probably buy it when it comes out on DVD and he said "Are you kidding?  We're GOING to buy it!"

Heh.  Assimilation is nearly complete.  His geek-ness grows stronger.   :saber:

If you're really a fan of the animated Transformers then the extra content in the anniversary edition of Transformers the Movie makes it a solid buy in my opinion. Even if you already had the original release. You should check that out if you haven't.

no no no. she went with alison to confessions of a shopaholic. i went with a buddy to f13. there were a ton of kids kayla's age there. it was crazy. 10 year olds watching tits and ass, and people getting stabbed in the head.

i'm not surprised.  though F13 may be less harmful to them than CoaS.

haha. probably. i see what you're saying from a vapid, shallow standpoint.

as a male, though, wouldn't it be worth it to see almost two hours of isla fisher?

I read an interview with her where she said, "If this movie goes well, it's all me.  But if it doesn't?  It was all Amy Adams."

I thought that was pretty funny.

it was a poor excuse for a joke.  i know next to nothing about CoaS.  it's name doesn't inspire much confidence, but it could still be good entertainment for girls.  gotta be better than bratz the movie, at any rate.

isla waited too long after wedding crashers to try and cash in on her fame.
