I am assuming by those statements that you are not a great Transformers fan ;) The transformers series never really interestde me because really...the transfomring cars were not that interesting. ...but I have to admit to a soft spot for Transformers:Beast Wars. Now those were interesting transformations; apes, sabretooth tigers, dinosaurs (ignoring the fact that these groups of organisms didn't occur simultanously in history). I actually really enjoyed the movie, was one of those ones where you've got edge of your seat action happening almost non-stop, but it's also humourous. Plus the Autobots had really fun personalities...and Bumblebee was so cute I just wanted to squish him (...even if he is a car) I stopped with the HP serialisation after the 4th book...the 5th book didn't appeal and the 6th book even less so (although I know all the major plot points from both these books, hard to reaad post-OoTP fanfics otherwise)...but the 5th movie looks like it's worth seeing. I expect 7th book spoilers from you so I knwo whether I should work through my reluctance and bother to finish the series at some point in the future. (I went through and checked out the movie releases for the next 5 years, so I really have my movie-viewing all lined up *shakes head* Still can't believe they've got 5 Shreks planned)
Yeah, not so much. Don't really remember much of the non-movie Transformers...maybe I should watch it anyway. :) I keep hearing good things about it.
I'm sure I'll flail about Book 7 once I read it! I think you should read HP5&6 just to have read them--I haven't reread them since the first time and I keep reading fic and going "o rly? That happened? ...okay". But still. I guess it's the principle of the thing. XD
Heh, I still have no inclination to go and watch most of the Transformers series...the movie worked, but transforming cars doesn't really work for me as an incentive to watch. I'm relying on your flailing about book 7 to determine my own urge to read it...that and everyone else's. I just think that fandom deals a lot better with some of the issues that J.K Rowling only lightly glosses over...then again it is good to know the canon of a fandom.
Yep 5...which I wasd really surprised about because...hey, most movies can't survive a single sequel (and with the way they advertised Shrek 3...I'd be surprised if they manage to keep their audience)

I am sure to make many a post on HP7 once I've read it. :D And before then too. All my icons have been HP-ized. I'm so excited!
Oh damn...I heard Shrek 3 was not awesome. I'm not sure how 4 or 5 will go over...
