Transformers

[howeird]

I plumb forgot about Writers With Drinks tonight and instead went to see Transformers. Mistake. First half hour way boring, last hour way violent. Very difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys, teen non-hero hero boy looks like Toby McGuire's ugly step brother. Smarmy national security badge guy looked like Seinfeld's ugly step bother and was as convincing as Jerry Springer would have been. Very hot female love interest, who keeps entirely too much of her clothes on. Had to close my eyes for most of the last 15 minutes because the fast pans were making me dizzy. Boring easter eggs. I guess you would have to be at least something of a Transformers fan to like this movie.

Sad but true, Pirates III is no longer in theaters, Shrek III is only at the drive-in.

Yeah, the summer blockbusters have been bumping each other in rapid succession. We managed to get to Shrek III (which I had free tickets for) and Pirates III just in time, but my older son waited too long and missed the Fantastic Four sequel.
