Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

[Ironwood]

While not wanting to prolong the argument, I'm surprised kids like this.  It's a mish mash of confusing nonsense.

Wait, never mind.  I have to go watch 'In The Night Garden' with Elena.

Its the greatest stupid movie ever made, replacing the original which previously held that distinction.

'In The Night Garden' makes 'Boohbah' look like a hardcore drama series. If you can, steer her towards 'Pocoyo' - that can at least be funny.

Is this movie better or worse than Robot Jocks?

Now there is a cheesy robot movie done right.

[gryeyes]

Superior robots, inferior everything else.

Lawl I just watched this movie again like a week ago.

[Ironwood]

Not sure which film you're talking about, but I do remember a Robot Jox.

[Riggswolfe]

I liked it. Not as much as the first but I liked it.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY liked the previews for 2012, GI Joe.
The Last Airbender? WTF? No idea what that shit was.

2012 might be interesting. Two things make GI Joe a muss not see movie for me:

1) The same damn Wayans brother that was in Dungeons and Dragons has a part in this
2) Those stupid ass suits. I promise you that in practice you'll be wishing for Transformers fight scenes since at least you can tell who Optimus is. In GI Joe it'll be 5 people in mechanical suits versus 5 people in variations of black leather. Good luck with that.

[Ironwood]

Going to say the same thing about Joe as I said about Transformers 1:

As long as I see (Optimus smacking someone/Baroness in leather) I'll be a happy man.

Now, if they follow the story of 'Hush Job' and have the Baroness stripped to her sussies in a closet;  so much the better.

[Cyrrex]

Wow, you really got it bad don't you?  Are sussies underpants, or something less than that?

[Polysorbate80]

I would guess a garter belt ("suspenders")

[WindupAtheist]

Looking at the box office numbers, there's no collapse big enough to keep this from being a huge success. It did $200m in the first four days. Star Trek, a big hit in it's own right, has done $246m thus far over the course of it's entire two month run. Jesus.

[Ironwood]

While on holiday, I explained to the wife my grand theory of My Attraction to Real Life Women as it Relates to The Baroness.

She was less than impressed.

But she looks like the baroness.  As all the women I've ever been happy with have.

I know.  I know.

Leave me alone.

[Ironwood]

Hang on here.  The TF thread has turned into the GI Joe thread.  Which is down there.

 

[Lakov_Sanite]

IMO there is no wrong place or time to discuss the baroness.

[Jain Zar]

Meh.  Scarlett's better. 

But I always did like redheads.

[Polysorbate80]

I disagree.

However, the only way to be certain is to strip them both naked, cover them in oil and have them fight it out.

[Lantyssa]

But she looks like the baroness.  As all the women I've ever been happy with have.

This just confirms my belief that you've always had good taste in women.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I disagree.

Would be a much better movie than either transformers2 or gi joe

[Oban]

Transformers 3, robots masturbating to human females wrestling in oil.

That would be better than anything ever made ever.  It would be the end of mankind as we would have nothing left to strive for.

GET THIS MAN $100 $200 $350 MILLION DOLLARS - WE GO INTO PRE-PRODUCTION ON TUESDAY! 

[Abagadro]

My vote would be for Dr. Girlfriend and Molotov Cocktease.

[Oban]

TRotF in one minute.

[Polysorbate80]

That looks vaguely like something from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

[rk47]

Just seen it. For a kids movie, it was OK. I just felt aside from Optimus and Bumblebee, the rest of the autobots seem to be underused. And wasn't Bumblebee voice fixed at the end of the first one or something? There'll be sequel, I'm sure of it. I just hope they take away these Afrobots comic relief crap out of it.

[Velorath]

There'll be sequel, I'm sure of it.

What was your first clue Nostradamus, the $228 mil it took in for it's first 7 days?

[WindupAtheist]

Up to $250m and we're only now going into it's second weekend. It'll probably take a weekend-to-weekend dropoff at least 60 percent. These huge front-loaded blockbusters with $100m openers almost always do. But you know, I'm really not picking up hate for this movie from the sort of people who matter in the financial equation. By which I mean kids, teenagers, uncritical dudes who liked Transformers as a kid but don't have a blog full of action figure reviews.

This kind of movie rarely has genuine legs, but I'm not anticipating a real collapse either. It'll crush that Johnny Depp gangster flick head-to-head this weekend. We'll see if it beats out Ice Age 3. Probably not, unless Ice Age flops in comparison to it's predecessors.

[K9]

Bruno comes out the weekend after too, and that's going to be pretty big; at least that's what I expect.

[WindupAtheist]

I'll be surprised if Bruno does anywhere near as well as Borat. The character just isn't as funny, there's a certain young male demographic that'll be squicked by it, and it doesn't have anywhere near the publicity. The whole spat with the Kazakh government, Borat holding a press conference in front of the White House, trying to push a note to "Glorious Warlord Bush" through the gate to the guard, and so forth. You can't buy that sort of publicity.

[gryeyes]

I expect it to be far less funny. But after the first movie i think he is more plugged in. I only vaguely knew who the guy was before Borat. I think it was kind of a sleeper hit (very well may be wrong). While this one, even if less funny is fucking everywhere.

[WindupAtheist]

Well Ice Age 3 did indeed open $27 million lower than the last one, and Transformers 2 maintained the top slot by a nose. It's dropoff was 61% which is about what I expected and perfectly respectable for a movie of this sort. It will have surpassed the gross of the first one before it's third weekend begins.

Ebert speaks..

[Tarami]

Ebert speaks..

And Ebert scores.

[fuser]

inform me that Michel Bay paid $8 million to the writers of the screenplay

What the hell is wrong with hollywood?
