the ones who've gone before
well transformers drops next week. people ask me about it a lot, knowing i'm a fan, and it's hard to not sound like a total snob about it, but i'm fully expecting it to completely blow. i'll see it anyway in the hopes that peter cullen gets a few cents of my $12 movie ticket.
i'm thinking friday the sixth, if anyone's interested, depending on what night the filippini/callahan bash is.
this month's wired cover story is a great multi-article look at why the show is so iconic to my generation, and focuses a lot on the character of Prime and his role as a surrogate father figure to many that didn't have one. it's also got michael bay's "i'm the director, i'll do what i want" remarks on why he did what he did in the movie.
the worst news? another new series. in this one, the autobots don't fight decepticons.
sigh. at least i still have DVD's of the original, true series and movie. that's all i need.
i think our blowout is actually on the 4th, so friday night for Transformers should sound good for me too.
i'm about to dust off the dvd collection for a watching this weekend before the movie.
Hell Yeah!
I'm thinking the midnight showing on the third. Anyone with me?
I know some Hasbro folks who were working on a new TV series. Not sure if this is it, but if it is, I know they'd put out something cool.
i was actually thinking that as well. sounds delicious.
B's mom puts out something cool!
i could do a midnight on the 3rd...
have you seen the Mr. Potato Head called Optimash Prime? all I can say is that you're lucky you don't have kids yet!!!
i've got one sitting in my house right now.
I would love to bring Conner to see that but kinda want to wait and see what you all think first. If it's approprate or not. Let me know!
I bought Collin a Darth Tater.
Jeri, it's rated R.
Artie, I think you mean Jeri IS rated R. Transformers is rated PG-13.
My bad. I was very wrong. Still, giant killer robots who turn into everyday items might not be a good idea for kids to see... unless animated of course.
