I saw the opening show of Transformers tonight.
For those of you who are afraid that this would be 2.5 hours of Micheal Bay taking your childhood in the form of the all-metal original toy of Megatron violating you in all the wrong places while Optimus Prime with lips kisses you inappropriately and says “Who’s your daddy?”, be assured, it is actually the complete opposite of that.
On BigCat rating Scale of Pearl Harbor crossed with Manos to Batman Beings this movie gets a confident:
“Fuck yeah! Transformers!”
P.S. For those of you who saw the original form of the amazing Transformers afgan that Lauren made for me, she has recently expanded it with new squares that are the negative colors of the other squares with an amazing border that says “Transformers” on the top and bottom, and on one side it says “Robots in Disguise” and on the other it says “More than Meets the Eye”
It is fantastic, and my wife is awesome!

I’m glad to hear that. I saw that, while it was only getting a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, it was getting a 69% from their “Cream of the Crop”, which is pretty good for a summer action flick. Hopefully we’ll get the chance to see it soon (need that magic confluence of “having money” and “having grandparents babysit baby”).
