OMG I GO TO MOVIES!!

[phrasemuffin]

Haha! Take that, Life!

For a year and a half, I haven't been to the movies. The last thing I saw was either Brokeback Mountain (which I need to get on DVD, along with Pan's Labyrinth still) or The Producers, the latter of which was ruined by friend-hyping (they saw the stage version, which must have been phenomenally better, long before the movie came out). And since then, as far as I can remember, I have not been to a movie. I didn't get to see RENT, nor Pan's Labyrinth, nor either Spiderman in a cinema.

How sad :(

But now, tomorrow, I go to see Transformers. At first, when I heard it was becoming a movie, I was somewhat unenthused, thinking it would be a kid's movie, just as I think the TMNT movie must have been. But then I saw the advert. And now I am much enthused. Much enthused, indeed! XD (it may have something to do with my being cinema-starved for 18months, though :P).

I thought it was pretty damn good, to be honest. :D

And why, pray thee tell, dear young Pixie, were you reading up on Australian condoms?

...Shut up about the Condoms, OKAY!? I WAS DESPERATE!.. Honestly though, it was on Oddly enough news, and I was like ROFL ROFL ROFL! So I had to check it out.

& NOW FOR TRANSFORMERS. *HISS*

Transformers was such a military propaganda movie! I was annoyed with the propaganda. X_X Iran isnt smart enough, let's kill Iran, Military Base in Qatar, You're a SOLDIER NOW!!! Uh, elipsis. He DID not sign up for that. It was such a glory movie; Let's get a sexy girl and a hot car + WAR!!! LETS TEAM UP WITH SOME ALIENS AND BEAT THE OTHER ALIENZZZ!!! THIS IS WAR!

The Effects were good, Shia's a Cutie, the girl was pretty alright as an actress, but she looked like she was just there to be sexy, because GOD her face was blank as hell.

And uh, Sorry, that was the beginning of my Rant. Im wondering if youre up?

But Transformers wasn't like that. I mean, it was true that the other countries weren't technologically advanced enough to create that virus - it was too advanced to have come from anywhere on Earth.

And the military bend made it more realistic in my opinion. Think about the world as it is right now. Where are you gonna find an Amierican military base these days? Middle East. It wasn't pro-war, as much as pro-reality. I can see where you're coming from though. If you read into it a certain way, you can see the whole movie as a metaphor for the war on terror, the American need to save the world from hostile invaders who will destroy everything given half a chance. Then again, you can look into most things any way you want, and quite often you take out what you put in. I prefer to look at Transformers as a coming of age, finding your place type movie where the stereotypical imperfect looser guy gets hot perfect popular girl because he has the courage to risk himself for everyone, and ultimately grows from boy to man. It's a journey movie. All hero movies are.

While I too did cringe at the line "You're a soldier now!", it was along the right vein. Shia had to step up and save the world, and Soldier Guy told him so in the words he knew. What else could he have said that would have struck home as hard and as fast as that?

... um, yeah :P Sorry it took so long to reply - internet has been too slow to load LJ properly these past couple a days :( But feel free to continue your rant if you want :D

MY FAMILY IS HERE!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!

Bah, I hope your Internets feels better!

I KNOWWWWW ABOUT THAT BUT STILL WHY SPECIFY EYE-RAN? WHY NOT AUSTRALIA OR INDIA OR SOMETHING?!

I saw the coming of age thing, but instead of "boy to man" I saw it as "Boy to Soldier" if that makes any sense. I thought there was just too much focus on the Military, and without them there would be no story.

Hahhaa He could have said "DONT DIE, OFFICER PARKMAN!" And while Shia stood there and was like WTF, Peter should have flown in and Saved the day.

THAT would have been one hell of a movie. :)and pretty sexy, too

Im also annoyed with Slutty-girls sluttiness. "I just...like guys with big arms" or whatever stupidity. I was like...oh please, stop pretending for a minute you're PG13. Also, I actually liked that the girl was a Juvie Chick w/ a record & a...not so legal dad. It made her more real. However, If Shia has loved her for like ever, did he not notice her absence while she was in Juvie? Correct me if Im wrong here. But still, in the end, he gets the thin, fashionable, blank looking, SEXY (the perfect tan, the perfect eyes, the perfect 10) slut (sorry I keep calling her that. Im spiteful.
[[Sorry]]
[[Megan]]
[[Fox. ]]What a way to end a movie. YAY FOR SEXY PEOPLE! *eyeroll*

That's Part Two! XD

At least the blonde girl who figured out that it was too advanced to be human was Australian.

Slutty-girl was the prize. She had to be the gorgeous perfect 10, otherwise she wouldn't work as the embodiment of the Shiny Trophy that she played. They couldn't have a 2 playing the female prize, because then she wouldn't work metaphorically (or realistically, given society's obsession with Perfection).

Your official new goal in life is to show me around Australia. I need to come there immediately. XD

I just find it so demeaning, thats all. x_x;
