Who plans on seeing "Transformers"?

[CatWoman]

It opens at the drive in theater here on 7/3.

Glad I have the next day off :)

[billyskank]

1. Yeah it looks like it'll probably be a piece of mindless fun

I like a piece of mindless fun once in a while. My bro and I saw the trailer and decided we'd give it a go. We'll wait until it's been out a couple of weeks probably.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. No thanks

Toys should be made about movies, not the other way around.

[CatWoman]

3. oh, come on EP

Did you see the trailer?

:hi:

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Yeah, and the special effects were good

But I think the storyline is really gonna suck...

[Radio_Lady]

33. My six year old grandson saw the trailer and wants to go!

But Grandma is bowing out of this one. Grandpa can take him on a rainy day in Portland. (Of which we have almost NONE in July, August, September, and sometimes October, too.)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. Yeah, I've got the feeling they made the movie to sell the toys.

Spielberg is involved after all. Selling products is his schtick.

Product placement's gotten so bad they're even showcasing the product placement in the movie in the commercials for the movies. Satire's dead.

Not that any of this will influence my decision to see this movie.

[CatWoman]

5. I'll bet you'd be a real trip to watch a movie with

:)

:hi:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Remember Robert DeNiro watching the movie in Cape Fear?

I'm kinda like that.

;)

[CatWoman]

38. rude, loud and murderous?

:)

[datasuspect]

8. not likely

[DainBramaged]

9. I'll be there July 4th morning

Already bought tickets

[catmandu57]

10. Didn't they already make one of these?

Like in the eighties sometime? No I'll snatch a copy for my nephews and let them bug their parents for the toys.

[DainBramaged]

11. Here's the site, click on it and then media

for preview

[CatWoman]

12. it looks pretty awesome

thanks :)

[slj0101]

13. I'm pissed that Bumblebee's no longer a VW Beetle.

For that reason alone, I shouldn't invest in it. x(

[CatWoman]

20. how do you tell the difference between the good transformers

and the bad ones?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. You rub the little body heat activated sticker.

And the good guy or bad guy symbol magically appears.

[CatWoman]

27. I hate to ask this

but are you serious?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

30. Completely.

That kid left a box of them up in the attic. I guess the wonks at Hasbro had all that mood ring technology left over from the seventies and decided to use it in their robot toys.

[CatWoman]

31. what little bit I know about the Transformers

is from my daughter watching the cartoons in the 80's :)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

32. did she have the toys?

Their little guns kept getting lost and then I would end up finding them with my bare feet in the middle of the night when I went to the bathroom.

Guns hurt!

[CatWoman]

36. no, she didn't have any Transformer toys

she wasn't that much into them :)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

40. Let's see if I can remember my 80s girl toys...

Cabbage Patch dolls, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, Pound Puppies...

Am I getting warmer, doc?

[CatWoman]

42. she did have the cabbage patch doll, the rainbow brite

I remember those.

Also Strawberry Shortcake.

[CatWoman]

21. how do you tell the difference between the good transformers

and the bad ones?

[slj0101]

43. By their logos.

:)

Autobots (the good guys)


Decepticons (the bad guys)


Back in the old days, though, Autobots were mostly cars and trucks, while Decepticons were other transportation types. I thought the Decepticons were cooler.

[CatWoman]

46. hey thanks!!!

:hi:

They even have a cooler logo!! :)

[NewJeffCT]

14. For some reason, I never was into Transformers as a kid

when I probably should have been - at least when they originally came out.

and, I never got into the comic book, either, when I was really into comic books for a good 20 years of my life.

So, while I like just about any big budget sci-fi movie, I'm not waiting with bated breath, either.

[Blue-Jay]

15. I wasn't a fan either. BUT!

The trailer looks pretty kickass, so I'll likely wait for the DVD and rent it. I have no problem watching a shitty movie, as long as the special effects are good. I'm easily amused I suppose.

[CatWoman]

18. SQUIRREL

:)

[DainBramaged]

22. It you haven't seen it, how do you know it's a shitty movie?

Are you the real Bill O'Liely?

[ThomCat]

16. I would like to go see it. But I'm not sure if I will.

I don't go to theaters (or anyplace crowded) alone. A DUer (Infomaniac) is my movie buddy, and she doesn't want to see that one, so I'll probaby wait until it's out on DVD.

[Parche]

17. Trans

The film looks.....A Mewsing



OH MEOW

[CatWoman]

19. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT KITTY PIC????

:rofl:

[myrna minx]

35. LOL. That cat pic is hilarious. It this the lounge mascot?

:rofl:

[terrya]

23. The name "Michael Bay" is all I need to know.

I suspect this will be another crapfest from the king of big budget crapfests.

My apologies to the people here who want to see it, but I tend to avoid movies based on toy action figures.

[AlCzervik]

25. i do but i have to wait until i go on vacation because my daughter has no interest in seeing

it so my sister and i will be going. You would think that after all the movies i've taken this kid to see and some of them were beyond awful that she would be willing to suck it up and go see this one--one movie with me but no. She is taking me to see "Sicko" on my birthday though.

[Hippo_Tron]

26. I'm gonna wait, if I hear it's good I'll probably go

[Zomby Woof]

28. Oh fuck no

I am all for movies being mindless fun, but not THAT mindless.

I think in that category, I will see "Live Free or Die Hard" instead. :P

[CatWoman]

29. have you seen the trailer, Z?

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

34. Yes

Saw it in the theater, in fact.

It looked WRETCHED, I mean IMMEDIATELY BAD, and trailers have never steered me wrong in 30 years. (Based on sometimes eventually seeing the shitty looking movies I avoided in the first place and being reminded why).

Looks like a 2 hour ad for toys I am not even nostalgic about, being that they and the cartoon debuted when I was in high school.

:hi: :bounce:

[CatWoman]

37. you're such a fucking grump

:)

I liked the trailer; looked like some cool special effects :)

[Zomby Woof]

41. I enjoy good special effects

But give me a good goddamned story to go with it! *grump* :D

I will say that Transformers probably is no worse than Evan Almighty, lol. Another one I am avoiding.

Besides the new Die Hard movie, SiCKO is on the agenda.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

39. Besides, there can be only one Transformers movie.

Starring:

Leonard Nemoy
Scatman Crothers
Eric Idle
Robert Stack
and Orson motherfucking Welles

I shit you not. I'd like to see Spielberg top that.

[mainegreen]

44. I'll see it just for the effects alone!

[CatWoman]

45. this is where I'm going to see it

:)

I see that Zomby's special movie is playing on screen 3 :)
