yeah they made the corvette a convertible in this one for some reason. and you're right, it doesnt look right at all. as for Prime's trailer, i do love the little nod to G1 with the design on the sides but they should have put his autobot symbol on the "line" like the cartoon instead of on the front of the trailer. :p

It literally is one of the worst movies I have every seen in my entire life. I mean, it's SO bad it's like they went out of their way to make it suck on purpose. The whole thing made absolutely no sense whatsoever, but that final fight scene? Where the Arizona desert and "Somewhere in the Middle East" are right next to each other? Does anyone have ANY idea what was going on? I had no idea. I literally had no idea who were the good guy Bionicles and who were the bad ones. Maybe that was the point? Bay wanted to convey the whole "fog of war" phenomenon? Holy crap! Is BF2 secretly brilliant?? Is it secretly a post-modernist deconstruction of war and films about war??

No, of course not. It's just some coke-head's hacked out disasterpiece for ADHD Nation.

..That with "ROTF", Bay had made the world's first quarter-billion dollar indie art-school film. Meaning a totally incoherent, incomprehensible gushing of visual diarrhea from the pinwheeling id of a hyper-ADD narcissistic man-child.

This will be interesting. Its like the God and Hot Burrito puzzle.
 Its a sequel by Bay, so its almost guaranteed to be worse. But can Bay make a movie worse than the worse movie in recent history?

I posted that here because Michael Bay movies are the complete antithesis of what Mr. Pekar stood for, so he'd probably get a kick out of that. BTW Harry, if you've even heard of Harvey Pekar, or even if not, get off your ass and put up an obit, or get someone who knows a little about him to do it. Geez. "Ain't It Late News", as usual.

by atomicagent007
I'm sure this has been said before but Bay is not the one to totally blame for these shitpies. Before he lenses a damn thing the writers(Orci & Kurtzman) are the ones coming up with this dreck & then the various property owners & producers have to sign off on it. Not sure that anyone could have made a decent movie with these scripts but Bay certainly did not help. You want to make a good TF movie? STAY TRUE TO THE FUCKING CHARACTERS!! Example: TF2 failed off the bat the moment Megatron willingly knelt in front of another character & called him master. That's certainly not the Megs i grew up with.

...if I saw them on the street. High-tech concept cars valued at hundreds or millions of dollars. I'd look at a Terminatrix's robo-inflato-boobies but not "only one in existence" concept cars hiding in plain sight. Nope. Never even take a second glance if I saw and heard one of those humming down the street.
Especially if it was a convertible with a hot chick with boob spillage...nope..never would I look at that in a million years! Hiding in plain sight dudes! I think they should just have the Transformers be UFO's and then they can tie Transformers, Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind and, watch how I work this magic, and Indianna Jones!
At the end of Tranny3, the mysterious discs flying about but that absolutely no one has looked at as their very busy buying hamburgers and clearing bush and driving around n stuff. Those mysterious discs and the $600,000 concept car shock everyone by morphing into a giant alien mothership that is also hiding in plain sight in Wyoming at Devil's Tower. During this hiding in plain sight reveal, many humans climb down out of the giant mysterious lighted thing in the sky (what the hell is that thing anyway? it's round but it's obviously not a frisbee or a circular throw rug) as it transforms into a giant robot that lets out some people...we see a profile at first...that Fedora we all know and love. The curled whip at the hip. And as he walks forward, the light clears and it's Harrison Ford smiling at a beaming Shia LeBeouf as they each say "Dad!" or "Son!" and start playing catch or gin rummy or parchessi.

I find it funny how so many of you talkbackers are in this bubble where you all do your circle jerk of Michael Bay hate... I don't get it... what do you want from the guy? you know what you're going to get in all his movies... you want this guy to make Oscar nominated movies? His movies do well at the box office which makes you guys and your superiority complexes think that the average moviegoer is an idiot... if a michael bay movie is two hours of your life you want back, it would seem to me that all the hours and hours spent bitching about him on these talkbacks is even worse... I find the movies entertaining.

And don't any of you dare tell me that Bay has destroyed the source material--it was a fuckin kids show--get over it. I can understand the arugment that McG destroyed his source material, but not michael bay.

really don't matter one iota, but the problem wth the second one (one of the problems) was that the cgi guys were working on effects shots before there was a script (due to the writers' strike) At least that was the word being kicked around the picket line and other places back then. My groans for this one so far are directed towards the use of an attack at a Nascar race that spils out onto the streets as one of big acton sequences. It's just another bit of flashy product placement. But if it means the number 48 Stunticon kills it's driver, I won't complain. I just think the incluson of actual Nascar drivers and announcers will take the audience out of the film and it runs the risk of being Cannonballed.

that said, I will come out and say that I COULD NOT FUCKING BELIEVE that they put in that scene in Transformers 2 where the mom gets stoned. It is baffling to me for a few reasons:

1. If the movie is intended for kids, kids don't understand pot...

2. If it was supposed to appeal to the stoner crowd, it failed miserably because the stoner crowd knows damn well how pot doesn't make you do that.

3. It's incredible how they considered the scene "comedy" I mean, it was obviously in their for comic relief, but who would understand it and find it funny? kids? no. stoners? no. non-stoneers who know stoners? no. Parents? no. Transformer fans? no, I'd hope...

The fact that nobody stepped in and said 'you know, this pot scene is pointless and unfunny'... its baffling, truly baffling.

IF you love your parents so much, did you tell them you love them yesterday? Although that's probably a moot point because a guy who finds it necessary to attack someone and be overtly vulgar about it, you probably don't love your parents because they clearly didn't do a very good job. Was it REALLY necessary to be so hateful because a guy mentioned a guy from sports died? You're pathetic.

It's damn good to see the "complete" Optimus Prime. Now we wait for Shockwave's movie design and if that Lambo' is Hot Rod or not. Its the same people who hate the TF movies so much and be there on opening day, waiting to smash it to pieces and find something not adapted from G1. Hell yes, there was issues with ROTF but leave it to the boards of AICN to take it to the next level. "What was with Sam seeing the Primes?" or complaints about dogs humping, which the latter can go or stay. But CTFD folks, I thought the Matrix carried the essence of all the Primes sorta like the series? Ask a valid question such as: "did Optimus destroy the Matrix again when he took out the Energon harvester?" That would suck after Sam took a near-fatal blast to save both that damn thing and Optimus

Just as there are dozens of versions of Optimus Prime, not to mention renditions of TF animated, this is another one based off TF yet not a direct adaptation. Just as Batman '89, X-men and Spider-Man, they aren't 100 adaptations. the orig TF had alot things wrong with it, still awesome though. The Autobots/decepticons a million years ago on Cybertron already looking like present day vehicles? Sure they transformed to space crafts but the robot form looks exactly the same. They made since out of that by creating "protoforms". Megatron sometimes transformed to his gun mode and it was drawn at human size gun, sometimes just small enough to fit in Starscream's hand. Now that was far-fetched. Let's not forget how inconsistent the size of the dinobots were displayed. Yes, ROTF had too much crude humor, but it did the Cybertronians in a more practical way because face it, there's so much that would not translate correctly.

And you too can have your companies' logo on the ass of a NASCAR transformer. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! For an additional 10 dollars our crack team of writers will rewrite several scenes to make sure the ass of the transformer and your logo are not only prominently displayed, but also are the key to saving cybertron and of humanity. So what are you waiting for? Just dial 1-800-BAYFORMERS, and soon your company will be synonymous with Micheal Bay's ass robots.

Peter Cullen did the voice from only one Transformer cartoon. That's right, G1. Sam Witwicky is also from G1. As are most the autobot vehicles and the most powerful decepticons. The Fallen is also from the G1 universe. Bumblebee is Sam's sidekick in G1 as well. If you think the movies ignore G1 you're fooling yourself. They changed the looks for the worse but for the most part it's based on G1. Here's hoping the reboot is made for the G1 purist like the successful videogame War for Cybertron.

Was always my favorite character in the cartoon (Lamborghini you see) so it's cool to see him in revamped form (that silver roadster) in the photos. Hopefully he'll have some lines.

 Even still, this movie will suck. I was hoping for a little more "something" in these movies. But I guess all they're good for is lots of "Explosions by Michael Bay(tm)!"

2 movies and not even a shot of unicron (planet form or otherwise) and no grimlock, if hot rod isnt at least in this then i dont know if ill bother with this one, im kind of tired of the characters theyve already used and most of them seem to be in the pics. Needs more characters from the animated movie, which no other form of transformers will prolly ever top

"So many of us on here hate Bay, yet so many of the ones who cry hatred for him always see his movies"

It's called the train wreck effect. One knows it's horrible and yet we have a compulsion to watch it, as if to believe such dammage and misery can be true. Besides, there's some of us who mannage to watch this "movies" without paying, thus denying Bay his only reason for living.

Giant robots, explosions, and just enough plot to care why there are giant robots and explosions. The first two movies definitely had robots and explosions, but the plots were incoherent and filled idiotic sequences and characters that I could not care less about. Please, do not read hate in my words, as I do not hate the transformers movies. I am just overwhelmingly disappointed in them. I will remain hopeful that the people who work in hollywood will see their mistakes and that they strive to actually fix them. However, most comments I've seen, seem to suggest that they are merely changing the color of the paint to a darker tone, but an outhouse painted with a woman riding a unicorn, wielding excalibur, jumping over a flaming Boba Fett punching Batman in the nards, is still just an outhouse.

Jesus Christ... Do I really need to explain?
 Shia's character finds his mother embarrassing (as shown in the first film), and part of his character arc in the second film is that he is breaking away and standing on his own without parents or any autobots - he wants a normal life. The stoned mother scene is there to enforce his reasons for leaving home - she embarrasses him again and he gets off to a bad start at college. Similarly, Bumblebee turning up at college reinforces why he refuses to help Optimus.
 At the end of the film he realises that despite their faults, his parents love him and he them, and that he is tied to the Autobots and may never lead a 'normal' life. We see him come to terms with it.
 It's not rocket science.
 Whether or not you found it funny, well that's a subjective matter. Me? I'm not so pretentious that I consider myself above a little giggle at a 'stoned mother' joke in a popcorn film.

Actually, video game reviews are pretty accurate because they are done by real gamers. And according to a study from last week, unlike movies, they are very influential on sales. That being said, I've read that the Transformers game sucks, and wasting $60 bucks on a game is worse than losing $10 bucks on a bad movie. And I lost $50 when I took my family to see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because there were some positive reviews. I hate George Lucas and I hate AsimovLives. RPLocke seems okay today. But watch it.

They did some loud explosions that day as well. Sounded like a large firefight. They also had racks, and racks of military vests on the side of the road. I am not the biggest transformers fan, but it was cool to see. There was a lot of other people there taking pictures, anyone have good stories of what you witnessed?

Seriously, people are trying to defend TF2... That was the most plot hole riddle piece of trash ever! It made the first one look like "The Godfather" in comparison to story, pacing, and general coherence. Bay himself realized that the second was a piece of shit by his back of the short bus standards that's why they are promising a much more Robot center movie for the 3rd one (not that anyone with a brain would believe them). The only reason both these piecse of trash made ANY money is because they have the name "Transformers" attached to them without that they would have both tanked at the box office.

One problem, these tricked out stock cars are showing a wing on the back, and thats wrong, anything they would have shot from the race the past weekend would have had spoilers. Im assuming the Transformers stop by the track for whatever reason, scan a few stock cars, get into a high speed chase, and realize the 800 hp cars arent fast enough, so they stretch their muscles a bit to get more speed. Thats my only explanation for what we are seeing.

They only post TF stories because of the massive talkback traffic each one delivers. The irony being, of course, that half of the traffic is by people who HATE the TF films. If, like me, you think that AIN'T IT COOL NEWS should be reporting on cool films rather than the most craven, crass, cynical film series ever, then like me why not STOP TALKING BACK on TF stories. That's me done FOR EVER!!!!!! Goodbye all. And remember, Bay is only making TF3 because all those idiots paid to see TF2. They are getting EXACTLY what they deserve.

Anyone who can say that they have enjoyed a Bay movie has been mind controlled by Jerryfucking Bruckheimer... I swear the bastard puts stuff in the Pepsi in cinema concession stands......

 that's the only reason anyone can have to watch such abortive fucking bollocks.

 After 10 minutes of the same running around chasing shooting bang bang piss poor jokes but ISN'T THE GIRL HOT so that detracts from what little story there is but LOOK AT THESE EFFECTS as they substitute for anything resemblng a plot even though the lead actor his a wanker and have some more explosions because HEY DON'T THEY LOOK GOOD - mentality, I am ready to slit my own throat.

 Michael Bay does not know the meaning of the word "subtle" so I am going to introduce him to it by ramming a fucking dictionary through his smug ugly fucking mouth.

Your goal is admirable and i have nothing but respect and awe for it. However, allow me to offer you this thought: since Bay's like movies steal outr will to live whenever we are subjected to them, talkbacks like this function as sweet payback. It allow us to vent our frustrations from not just Bayass himself and his fucking movie,s but all the bad movies in general which keep on fucking up modern cinema. We all the true geeks, who hate to see this shitty movies fucking up modern cinema, we have in this foruns to oportunity to vent our frustration while poking fun as the very movies and filmmakers who are doing the fucking up. Consider this thought, friend.

I know that Bay is untalented and he's has a fratboy level of illiteracy. But the thing i'm yet to fully figure out is if he deliberatly makes his movie very stupud of if he's very stupid himself and his movies reflect his own stupidity. I mean, this is the guy who made movies where you can go from Havana to Guantamaco in a short 5 minutes car drive (while presenting Cuba as a drug lord haven) and one can go by land from Egypt to Jordania without going through Israel (hell he even presented a Egypt-Jordania border checkpoint!!). Either Bay thinks everybody who is not him and pays to watch movies are very fucking retards, or he is very fucking retard himself.

As if america needs more reason to be looiked down upon, and then Bay makes movies that add fuel to the fire. If i was an americna, i would even despise and hate that fucker Bay evne more for the disservice that fucker keep on perpectuating. If his movies are made only for dumb rednecks from hillybilly America, then he should keep them there and never export that shit for abroad markets. But because his movies are also made to make money outside the USA, it would be the minimum cortesy for the fucker to show some respect and accuracy evne about the most basic stuff.

Jul 10Michael Bay…I hate you By: Bobby Finstock on 07/10/07 @ 3:18 pm Michael Bay must be stopped from making movies ever again, I can't take it anymore. I know I shouldn't go see his movies because all they do is piss me off. I know going in I will be sitting there for over two and a half hours and I will be able to predict everything. It is like plugging in a formula for a math equation written by a drunk seven year old with rickets and dementia. Every single Bay movie is the same… It is too long, it has random sidekicks that drop funny lines, there is always a slow motion stare at my friend hoping they don't die shot (hand holding may or may not happen), then typical slow motion action sequence done over and over and over and over and over again. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS MOVIES has these traits

You know, I am no Bay fan, but some of the things being said here are disturbing. Direct some of this intense blaring hatred at people who murder and rape, and no, dont respond with "well Bay murders and rapes cinema" To wish death and other sorts of shit upon someone is just flat out sick, and don't tell me that it's all just a joke, some of the sick fucks that post this shit really would like to see this guy dead or whatever. Get a life you sick fucks. Bay may make bad movies but there are plenty of people in the world who deserve the torture and pain you wish upon this guy. Here is a solution....train wreck theory not withstanding...DONT SEE HIS MOVIES if you hate him that much, dont watch them for free, just dont watch them....but then if you did that you would have no one to direct your twisted hatred at.
It's one thing to hate a director, it's another to wish harm upon any other person, especially when it isn't deserved. If you think Bay deserves to die or wish death upon him, then you have serious problems and should be in a fucking mental institution. Now go out and kill some bunny rabbits because they looked at you funny.

Mickey Bay is the type of cunt who thinks the only good cars that exists are Ferraris, and he doesn't even chose the right ferraris. The fucker has not owned any other car since his teens, when he was given one. Hell, his film school short was about him and his ferrari. You can see what kind of a person he is right there. He's the type of cunt who always had the big toys right from early age, got spoiled, and he still is the same spoiled bat, making this hugely expensive movies and he takes all that for granted. He never had to work his way up, like Lucas, Coppola, Spielberg, De Palma, Nolan, Raimi, etc. no, he started big, and got even bigger, and then bitches if his movies have budgets lower then 150 million and advertizement budgets lower then 100 million.

That's just Bay's own publicists making shit up. and evne Bay himself admited that THE ISLAND was the worst performing movie of his career, a veritable flop.

Bullshit, Armnageddon's final budget was 210 millions, and it barely did more at the box office. Disney classified it as a disapointment, below expectations. Which was why, when Bay made his next movie and DEMANDED a 200 million dollars budget for PEARL HARBOR, Disney told him to go fuck himself and work with 125 millions or get out.
July 13, 2010, 8:07 a.m. CST
by AsimovLives
to classify a movie as sucess or flop. Because the foreing numbers were always unreliable, and more the n half of those would remain the their countries of origin, and they owuld only receive less then half. And in USA, back then, the distributors got half the box office cash. This is why ARMAGEDDON underperformed to expectations. ARMAGEDDON was an embaracement for Disney, after all their boasting they had in their hands the new Titanic. Then they got another pie in the face when PEARL HARBOR was not another TITANIC either. So, stop taking the Mickey Bay's publicist bullshit as gospel.

But wishing harm or death on the guy? Fucked up. Period.

Words fail me about PEARL HARBOR. I'm not american and i felt insulted by the way the movie depicted the attack which caused so much suffering, destruction and death. That Bay asshole shot the attack as if it's a scene from Star Wars! The fucker showed no respect or sensebility toward what is a real historical fact in which people died and suffered for real. What kind of demented psychotic fuck would shot those scenes like that? Even the propaganda film made by the Japanese during the war about the Pearl Harbor attack showed more restrain! It's mind boggling! Bay not just missed the mark with Pearl Harbor, he didn't even knew it existed!

 I do not wish to be killed by transformers, unless it is by swallowing a toy. No, even then it is not how I would prefer to die.
 I do not want to be killed by Bad Boys because that sounds sort of stupid.
 I do not wish to be killed by Pearl Harbor. Not even at Pearl Harbor. The new has worn off.
 I do not wish to be killed by Conair. People will think I died by hair dryer.

True, you are always a gentleman and you always try to find the middle ballance, even for crap like JAR JAR TREK. It's a comendable attitude, and one of the reasons why i have great respect for you. And you know, i don't wish death on Bay. a big punch to his face yes, and that would be because he's an abusive asshole, and that's nothing that anybody who has worked with him have not wanted.

But i want for Bay a fate which he would take as worst then death. I wish him huge commercial flops. I wish that form now foward all of Bay movies flop very hard at the box offic,e both local and foreing. That would hit him where it hurts the most. I wish that he has a string of HEAVEN'S GATE like flops, one after the other, in direct sucession, for a whole decade. I want that his movies all have 200 million dollars budgets or more and they can't recout even 1/4th of the investment. I want every single of his movies from now fowards to flop as hard as THE ISLAND or worst. I want his career of making big budget movies stop. I want him to became a persona non grata and a box office poison in the minds of all the people who pull the strings in Hollywood. I want him to spend the rest of his natural life making very cheap DTV movies, of which he's a natural, and music videos for has-been washed out terminal cokehead 80s hair metal rockers. I don't wish him dead, i wish his career dead!

My wife wanted to go and see Pearl harbour, as she is a sucker for sentimental romance chick flick dung. Of course, her being mywife and me not wanting my ass kicked, I went with her to see it.

 We came out, and my normally placid disposition wife said "Well, that was a fucking pile of shit. I am so sorry for dragging you to see it."

 I just remember wanting to shoot myself in the mouth the whole way through.

 I was offered Armaggedon for $0.99 on DVD and told the bastard selling it to fuck himself.

 My brother said that Bad Boys 2 was a good movie- 45 minutes later I made him see the error of his ways as I tore lumps out of the celluliod abortion.

 To say that Bay is the worst directo in hollywood is an understatement- and he has some stiff competition. Never has a director pushed so many of my buttons. He doesn't give a shit about what he makes, makes no apologies and even belittles his audience. The bastard deserves to rot in hell forever.

I don't even think that Bay's movie appeals to the masses. His advertizement does appeal, and that's it, which is why he always have such massive opening weekends. Also, you have to be careful to what you mean by masses. Thr Bay's movie masses are the iliterate bible-belt rednecks. This is not idle put-down, this is fact, Bay himself says he makes movies deliberatly made in mind for the middle bible-belt america. He says he was inspired by something his grandfather once told him, that you never lose money if you pamper and sale for the Midwest America. I'm not american and i feel insulted by the implication.

Good actors in bad movies doesn't make me feel any more sympathy for the movie. If anything, it depresses me to see good actors prostituting themselves in shallow ass crap made by incompetent idiots who should had never been anything more then second unit directors... if that!

Of Simon West, i only hae one positive thing to say about him: he showed enough wisdom to back off from BLACK HAWK DOWN and thus allowed the hiring of Ridley Scott. Hack tha the is, he still showed something that Bay would never do: a sense of propriety. You know why Bay balked out of KING ARTHUR after spending 7 years in pre-production? The pay was better for THE ISLAND. Something is very fucking wrong when that hack Simon West can be a man with far more integrity then Bay.

No offence taken, mate. I value others opinions. I love film, and have since I was 5. I love all kinds of film, and have a DVD/Blu Ray collection of over 4,500 and counting (yes, I and my wife are well off).

 I have fond memories to do with celluloid, not all of them art house movies (I can recall the buzz in 1987 of standing in line to see Predator, and the utter joy of switching my brain off watching the work of a Director who knew what he was making and didn't insult his audience.)

 To say I love cinema is an understatement. I just hate abominations like Michael Bay. The guy has no redeeming qualities. I hate everything he does and everything he stands for.

 No, mate. I am not offended. Don't apologise. It should be I as I tend to get a little "passionate."

I disagree. i don't think he evne does explosions well. All his explosions are the same boring kerosene orange fireballs FOR EVERYTHING!

I have never been excited or thriler or interested in any of his explosions. I have seen better explosions from less "experts" from smaller movies then that Bay's crap.

The game runs circles around Bay's Movies in both quality and homage.The programmers made this game via labor of love and it fucking shows.Yeah as someone had mentioned, War for Cybertron should have been the movie, not The abomination that was conspired by Orci,Kurtzman,bay and that fucking shill Spielberg.

He used to be very reliable. He was like Ol' Faithful, you knew you would watch a good movie if he was in it. But recently, and since CON AIR, he has lost his mojo. And 2012's debacle is just beyond depressing. What happened to him? Does he own money to the mafia? He has gambling debts? Somebody has compromising photos of him? Really, what happened?

And then this fucking hack Mickey Bay and his ilk start abusing it for stupid shit bad filmmaking. This clowns must think that they are some inheritors of Sam Peckinpah! The gall, the outrageousness!

May have fallen off the wagon in terms of quality, but he is still better than Bay. Bay could have never made a film like Face Off, that was a poetic ballet of bullets, whereas Bay would have just blown up everything. It was also two actors having a great time acting like each other, Bay would have just had them running around yelling...."ARCHER!!!!!!"......."TROY!!!!!!!!!!"

There's nothing to criticise if an actor wants to dom some blockbusters. That's wher ethe pay is, and an actor in such a movie, even in supporting roles, he can get a year or two worth of pay. The thing is, one should be a more descernible about the blockbuster to chose, specially if you play the closest thing to a lead, ad Cusack was in 2012. Cusack should had tried to get jobs like DeCaprio's for INCEPTION or SHUTTER ISLAND, not fucking 2012!! Cusack has a name to mantain, he used to be the reliable star with integrity, the one you knew he made efforts to be in good movies. He was like the traffic lights.

Trust me when I say this, Not only will WFC will reassure your faith in the TF franchise, but it'll instantly wipe most if not all the bad memories dreged by watching Bay's shit-on-a-stick adaptations. Never was much of a 'Transfan", but I enjoyed the comics,cartoon and especially the Animated Movie back in the 80's.(which the game pays plenty of tribute to.)
If you are still unsure about purchasing the game,feel free to rent via Gamefly or buy used from Amazon.
Multiplayer is also one of the game's strong points.One might catch me fragging a few 'bots. My Gamertag is...

Could not have said it better, Cusack needs to be way more picky, and he can be, it's not like he is some d list actor...he may not be considered A list, but to me is is A list as far as ability is concerned, and he needs to stop being lazy when choosing his projects. When a movie is so bad that not even he can elevate it a little, there is definitely a problem.

Thus, i never had much an interest to Transformers. Saying that, i can't help but feel great sympathy for those who felt insulted and cheatted with Bay's movies. You Transformer's fans have my full sympathies. Think i know what you feel, because can extrapolate from what i felt when Bay fucked up SF twice with ARMAGEDDON and THE ISLAND.

Asi,Not only was Macross the original "Transformers" (Mecha that transformed into Jets,etc.)but had more character depth and engaging stories than the TF series. For a syndicated cartoon, it was more in the adult camp than the venerable 30 minute toy commercials that were GIJoe and TF.As for Woo, Iv'e yet to see Red Cliff even though it's on my Netflix Queue, unfortunately I bypassed the film the minute The Girl With The dragon Tattoo was available. Great suspense foreign film BTW.

Sure as an "artist" Bay sucks...we as film fans mostly loathe the guy...but he really knows what the average person wants to see. Really...he has never had a total failure has he? Even Pearl Harbor made money in the long run through international box office and DVD sales. Hack? Yes. Gives the common folk what they want? You bet he does...sad as that fact is.

In europe, the Acura NSX is known as the Honda NSX. Because, like, it's actually an honda car made by Honda. It's in north America that the car was sold as an Acura. And yes, it's a damn fine car. Top notch! Too bad Honda stoped making those, and now decided to only make cars for castrated middle class family men. At least the European Honda Civic has an advantage, it looks like a spaceship, it looks like the Enterprise.

Indeed. Honda used to make come of the coolest cars. The S2000, the NSX, the civic Type-R. Nowdays, it's all oriented for the castrated family man market. Even the Type-R, so they say, lost some of it's humpf. Truly, for cars, i look for WV and Alfa Romeo, due to their new models the Scirocco and Giullietta. The Scirocco, by the way, which will not be sold in USA, is made in Portugal, my country. And the car has received nothing but praises. Here's the cars:

when the economy tanked. Didn't they close their vaunted F1 program too? The older stock NSX (pop up headlights, black canopy) was simply the most gorgeous car ever created IMO. The S2000 was sweet too. Didn't they only stop making them in the last year or two? That was a pretty long run for a Honda. And yea, I know the Acura badge only exists in North America. Funny how Renault totally turned Nissan around. Still not a fan of their overall style but I can't say it's ugly and the Z is pretty fuckin sweet.
