QFT...however, I think my experience with these movies is more special compared to the casual movie folks because I'm familiar with themythology.Originally Posted by arstyle27
I just think the series has so much more potential than what the average person will ever know about.

The 2 robots was funny as hell.......and like they said, the robots uploaded all the mannerisms from the internet..........AND THATS EXACTLY HOW THEY ACT!!!!!!!!!!!! Weather people think its racist or stereotypical or not.....THATS HOW PEOPLE TALK/ACT THESE DAYS!!!!!!!
I bet i wouldnt see anyone *****ing ane moaning if they were portrayed as airhead skaeboard riders or something.....people are just plain stupid sometimes.

I LOVED the first one... but IDK... I'm not going to complain that it was too long, since 3 recent movies come to memory that were very long that I enjoyed thoroughly... (TDK, Watchmen, and Benjamin Button)
But I was just BORED
I Was also kind of disappointed with the lack of use of the Imax cameras, thought it'd be used a bit more than it was.
Michael Bay Makes Porn. by Hagrid1 | Jun 24th, 2009 01:24:47 AM |
You'll be hearing a lot of negative things about Giant F-ing Robots Part Deux. It's not that what the critics are saying are entirely wrong. For the most part, I agree with a huge chunk of what's been said. But I think people are missing the point about Michael Bay and his Bayhem. Because Michael Bay does not make movies. Michael Bay makes porn. In the seventies, people thought how revolutionary it would be to film a story where once you cut to the love scenes, you would actually see people having sex. This is like the golden age of the seventies in film where you have Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, Friedkin, Lucas (before the dark times), and so forth. But you know what? How many individuals actually sit through the story of the porn movie thinking "oh gosh, I can't wait till these two get it on, I'm in SUCH suspense?" No one. We fast forward to the good parts. Then in the eighties, videotape ruined that. Less story, more porn. Now in the age of DVD and BLU-RAY... no story, all porn. For example, a man in a suit enters a house for a business meeting with his partner. The partner isn't there, but his wife - dressed in slutty lingerie at 2 in the afternoon - is there to greet him. The man in the suit says "great - I confirmed this meeting three times. NOW what am I gonna do?" And then slutty lingerie wife offers him options. BAM! Cut to the love scene. One and a half minutes of story followed by twenty minutes of gymnastic sexual antics. So what Michael Bay does is make modern day blockbusters following the formula of modern day porn. Skip the story, and get right to the reason we hit 'yes' on our On Demand. Sometimes, you're just not in the mood for a story that changes the way you see the world. You just want some porn. You want The Rock or Armageddon. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like Giant Robot Porn. We don't really care how we see big robots fighting, because that's inherently just silly. Kind of like when a hot blond girl in a short skirt who says she's over 18 can't wait to get at a man in his forties who oozes Axe Body Spray. It's just silly. But we don't care. We just want to see big robots fighting. We want to see Godzilla smash some $##%. So give us about ten to twenty minutes of story (which is what T:ROTF gives us) and then give us 2 hours of insane over-the-top-ludicrous-action- that-we-know-can't-possibly-be -realistic-and-doesn't-make-se nse-but-who-gives-a-crap-it's- fun-as-hell-to-watch. He basically skips the setup and gets right to the good stuff. Which is what porn does best. So I had a total blast watching T:ROTF. The audience laughed and clapped a hell of a lot at the end. I sat next to four black women who were on the edge of their seat and laughing at all the stuff with the Twins. Judging by those lines I saw, I expect the rest of America will be figuring it out for themselves this week. Now imagine if Michael Bay made an honest-to-goodness porn. (Or with all this remake madness - what abot a remake of SHOWGIRLS? AND on IMAX?) Now that'll be worth $14 dollars... |
