I think I have to change my thoughts on the Transformers flick.
Frankly, I didn't pay any real attention to it when it came out- I had no plans to watch it, and I wouldn't have except my sister loaned it to me.

I just had it on in the background but was pretty much ignoring it, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something that instantly convinced me there's some heavy social and political commentary going on here. This movie may be worth a closer look.

Check it out. (This is a genuine screen capture. Only the arrow was added by me.)



Who knew? :shrug:

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
Do you think for one minute that is real?

C'mon...:eyes:

This has to be a colossal joke!


Still, it's nice to see you tonight!

:hug:

2. I know it's not a real cop car, if that's what you mean.
But it WAS in the movie- I did the screen capture myself.

I think it's fantastic.

5. I knew, saw it when I was in the theater
it was just one of those things that popped out at me...I noticed it first, when Barricade picked up the little robot at the Airport....

8. Do you like the new Camaro?
At first I wasn't too keen on it, but it's started to grow on me.

10. By the time the Camaro is available
The new Mustang will be on it's second iteration and the Dodge Challenger will be out a year A bad mistake delaying it's introduction. I prefer the 403 HP SS Trailblazer. Stealth banzai at it's finest.

7. I actually enjoyed this movie for what it was...
Pure mindless summer entertainment. Lotsa fun.

I caught this when I saw it in the theater, had a hearty chuckle about it.

9. That is Barricade, a Decepticon.
I think it's more a commentary on the Decepticons than the police. This IS Michael Bay we're talking about here. Have you not een the Bad BOys movies?
