\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

Um, so I saw the new Transformers<\/i> flick with Shane and Ashley and Joey. And I really didn’t have any idea what was happening at any given moment. Except I marveled at all the references to balls. And Megan Fox’s perpetually open mouth and perpetually (until the last ten minutes) clean white pants. (In the real world, when a woman puts on a pair of white pants, she immediately starts her period. True story.) There were explosions. And really gullible military folk. And slooooooow mooooootion ruuuuunnnning awwwwaaaaaayyyy froooooommmm thhiiiiiinnnnnggggssss blllooooowwwwwingggg upppp andddd shhhrrrrappppppnellllll. <\/p>\n

Roger Ebert was similarly unimpressed<\/a> (HT: Nick Fowler, who also taught me the meaning of “DSL” in this movie’s context).<\/p>\n

I love a good mindless filmic romp as much as the next emotionally numb asshole, but this movie made no goddamn sense in any context. Part one? Fun. Part two? BOO.<\/p>\n

See what I did there? Yeah, sorry. The movie made me dumber. <\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> This is the best review ever<\/a> (HT: MC-T’s<\/s> Manderson’s GChat status), except for maybe Pajiba’s Black Snake Moan<\/i> review<\/a>.<\/p>\n
