The Wrath of Jen

Pandering to 13-year old boys - 5 Stars (Giant robots, first car fantasies, stupid parents, and an extremely well toned halter-top clad female lead. Appeals to both actual 13-year olds and the inner adolescent in most dudes, myself included.)

You need to edit your entry, sir! Numerous girls attended the screening I went to Wednesday afternoon. And, there was a rather delightfully sculpted male lead next to the sculptylicious female. I lived, breathed, played, and died (when it was my turn to play Megatron) Transformers for years of my childhood, so glorious metalsmash is not the purview of boys alone.

Fair Enough.

When I was growing up, I didn't know any girls who were into transformers (or would admit to being into transformers anyway) so I think of it as a primarily boy-thing. I stand corrected.

As the the presence of a "delightfully sculpted male lead", I honestly wasn't paying that much attention to said male lead, except when he was quipping. I must say though, he quipped quite well. It gives me hope that the new Indiana Jones movie might have some legs.

Ahem. I was also Lady J and Scarlett. And any number of Thundercats, Knight Rider, A-Team, and Airwolf characters. :)
