Why are there always lines at the WalMart gas pumps? It's like a 4 star restaurant... I know it ain't that good.
Finally picked up a Transformers mega-scale Skywarp from WalMart (to adorn my desk). It was 60 bucks! I was just waiting until it went on clearance. It was half price!
The weather has been soooo miserable lately. The yard is just mush when you walk on it.
I actually got my Ni America water bill this month! Miracles do happen.
I transferred my fish back into the big tank after a rigorous cleaning. I think they are happier. They are at least less stressed since their temp tank was in the cat room.
I want to sell my house. Please refer people to it! If you have them tell the realtor you referred them I will give you 3 thousand bucks. I mean it! Here's the link.
I started watching my Watchmen Motion Comic on BluRay last night. Many I love that!
I am going to write a review about it soon.
On my other blog I am supposed to be having help from my cohort in crime...
Have you ever been itchy for a movie to be over? I have. Godzilla (the U.S. one) and this robotic turd in the water pipe.
What I didn't like about this movie:
1.) Language. This movie was crude. Robots don't talk like that. 2.) Robots that look like humans. I don't even want to begin the hour long bitchfest about how a human-like robot does not even make sense in a Transformers movie. If she could do it why in hell wouldn't all the other transformers do the same??? 3.) Humping dogs and robots. 4.) Plot lines so blatant I expected to see Michael Bay staning with a sign that said: 'here comes a plot line'. 5.) Did I mention the language? 6.) Robot testicles. 7.) The Matrix of Leadership was a kick ass device, not a wicker-work coffee table sculpture. 8.) Who the hell was the Fallen? What a waste. Now if you want an ultimate villan bring on UNICRON (just wait until the 3rd movie for that one). 9.) Parachutes with the autobot symbol painted on it? Sheesh! 10.) Michael Bay = Camera moving so much you get motion sickness. 11.) Urban thug autobots with gold teeth.
12.) Robots so generic looking you often forget who you are looking at (the franchise's biggest fault). 13.) Bizzare ending. Michael looked at the clock and said: 'Oops, movie is out of time. End it here.'
Ok, enough already. If you are remotely interested I'm sure it's ok to watch Trasformers 2: Revenge of the BoxOffice.
P.S. This is what the Matrix of Leadership should be like... and yes, along with that radical music too!
Ok, I thought I must say more than a one-line blip about watching this movie so here we go.
Facts:
1.) I grew up on 80's G.I. Joe. 2.) I had no high expectations about this movie going in.
I finally got around to seeing G.I. Joe - Rise of Box Office this weekend on DVD. I enjoyed it. It was full of what you would expect from a summer blockbuster, lots of explosions.
My gripes:
1.) Plot holes so big you could drive Optimus Prime though them:
So the team stopped the last batch of Nano machines by sending them into space then just dropping the whole thing. Hello!? They just left them out there to reek havoc on anything in the atmosphere (after hyping up the danger of the little buggers).
How does Cobra so easily break into the SUPER HIGHTECH G.I. Joe HQ?!
How does G.I. Joe so easily break int the SUPER HIGHTECH Cobra HQ?!
The NeoVipers don't scream because they feel no fear or pain. But they sure screamed alot when getting blown up and stuff.
2.) Characters:
The Baroness should have just been a bad guy and not some goodie goodie one under someone's control. She is a hot bad-guy and should have remained so.
Duke (and this is my biggest annoyance with the movie) was a wigger.
Cobra Commander should have been a different character, more mysterious, less dorky.
3.) Technology:
The technology where things just form (aka the cowcatcher on the front of the cobra hummer in the Paris chase scene) sucks. I hate this effects and several moview use it. It looks too alien and 'magical'. The same effects can be seen in the 1989 Batman (the batmobile) and the newer batman. Armor that just forms out of nowhere pushes unbeliviable a little too far.
Product placement: Cisco hologram technology.
That's pretty much it. It was a wild ride that I expected it to be. I liked the Doctor character. He was just hovering on the verge of realism and fantasy.
I must admit I am liking G.I. Joe - Rise of Sequel better than Transformers 2 (too serious).
