I can't believe you watched that twice

Went to see Transformers at the Drive-in last night with Ray. (Damn that Michael Bay.) It rained a splash, but it worked out well for us.

We could shout at the screen all we wanted and not bother anyone.

We're both complete strangers to the franchaise. I only saw the first movie because someone told me it had orson Welles in it and that was several years ago and unlikely to be repeated.

Less talking, more giant robots fighting please.

All throughout my childhood I played with robots that could turn into dragons, rocks, dinosaurs, cars, trucks, whatever. All that time I imagined what it would be like if they were real. I tried to envision massive robots destroying cities and turning each other into scrap.

Not only did I get to see that, but I got to see it with a horribly awkward teenager, directed by a man who understood that there was no way on this Earth that you could make a movie about giant, transforming robots and NOT have it be absolutely ridiculous.

It was so over the top that I thought it worked.

Unlike Spider-Man 3.

Which I don't even have the remotest most obscure reason to see whatsoever. unlike Transformers, which I went to purely out of romance.

Don't. Spiderman 3 is balls.

[thevintagestar]

An that is being really kind to the movie.

Or really harsh on balls.

Ummm... I shouted "Ed Wood Lives!" at the end.

It reminded me of a Bert I. Gordon film too. Lots of padding and a paucity of gigantic things wreaking havoc. Plus the science was right up there with the "because the human heart is not a collection of cells but in effect a single cell..." line from "The Amazing Colossal Man"

To avoid flames from those who don't know me the above means that I enjoyed it.
