My wife was telling me she saw something about how hormones affect moods and I said, "Hormones? Aren't they the sounds that prostitutes make when they want you to think you're doing a good job?" She said it wasn't funny... But she laughed... and I still got sex. ;-) But regarding Transformers and movies in general... I agree with Jason, I went to see giant robots and got chills when the first robot started to transform. However, Jason, if you were referring to the Ranger squad in the desert, then I think you missed the part where the giant freakin' robot blew up the entire base where they were stationed and they barely made it out alive!! Felicia, I, like you, am also a fan of Big Trouble in Little China (and most John Carpenter movies/music) and Babe. (Don't think i've seen Bringing up baby.) I also list The 5th Element as a favorite (I love Luc Besson's sense of timing.) And as you can see, I'm also a fan of the comma and resurrecting old threads that have been dead for over a year. (oh, and redheads (married one, have three redhead boys)... and Dr. Horrible... and The Guild... and Nathan Fillion... ... ... and the elipse.)

She gets her character development at the 80 minute mark of the film. Three lines of it. "My dad stole cars" "you're a criminal now?" "clean her record" ... wait, her arc wasn't even hers. It came in for ten seconds more than halfway through the film and it wasn't even hers. It's all hilarious. Yeah, but my favorite, absolute favorite part about Meg Fox’s character?

It’s all hilarious.

Why did I like it? Because I went to see giant robots from one of my favorite childhood cartoons brought to life and beating the ever loving crap out of each other, and that's exactly what I got. Someone said something about shutting off your brain, and that's exactly what you have to do. You can't go into a summmer action blockbuster expecting plot and story. I just wanted to see things blow up. :) As a former army guy, the portrayal of the military guys kinda irked me a little. Army Rangers just don't do those one squad covert missions anymore, it irritated me. As for the girls, I agree that they were all skanky hotness, but I thought they did well for what they were given to work with.

But I was attracted to the post because you mention: "BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA" that is one of my favorites. I loved it so much, I showed it to two of my high school students at the end of the school year (the seniors graduated and so two junior were all I had in Government that year). The response afterward was, "Why do you like that movie?" I still find myself quoting the movie when with family and friends. Anyway, looking at this thread there is sooooo much I could comment on, but oh so little time. Pick and choose: here I try and not attempting to sound too disconnected as I go. Transformers, didn't see it, but based on the recommendation of my brother he said there were only two things to see from that movie, Shia (cause he rocks, definitely doing well ever since Even Stevens which I found myself enjoying after some student recommend it.) and Megan Fox (for the reasons that you mentioned probably, she's hot I think was the more accurate quote). Eye candy does help pass the time sometimes through some bad pictures. Kiera helped me get through Pirates 3, I must admit (ask a ninja pegged it in his review). Oh and Stefan, I was upset when Wash, Book, and Mr. Universe died in Serenity, "I am a leaf on the wind." Young girls need to see strong, intelligent women on the big and small screen. I am a firm believer that women truly rule the world, perhaps it is just that the men have been trying to convince them otherwise since the Middle Ages. One of my History classes in college I recall seeing a piece of ancient potery from (I don't recall and it would make my argument stronger)?. The picture was a father giving away is daughter in marriage to a young man. Behind the father sat the mother with her arms extended out in giving her support of the union. How you interpret that is up to you: "behind every man is a good woman", (insert another comment here). My professor commented that it was the mother that made the final approval for the marriage, not the father. I used some Buffy episodes in my sociology class to teach certain lessons (abuse: boyfriend beating up girlfriend; sex in a relationship: two part "Betrayed" episode from season 2 Angel goes bad.) Fantasy often illustrates real life problems in entertaining ways. I have also vowed to never coach boys basketball versus girls basketball. I find the maturity in girls to allow them to be more attentive. Now, as boys grow older they do mature and can be as attentive by Junior and senior year I believe. There are always exceptions to every rule. And because this has gotten long enough for no one to enjoy reading. The D&D movie, yes terrible, I recall when watching the opening credits and the title appears on screen, "What makes it Dungeons and Dragons as opposed to just another attempt at a fantasy movie?" D&D is minds of the fans, they make it their own. Great movie: The Power of One, my favorite and I showed it when I taught World History, Sociology, and Social Justice. I still have friends and former students showing that to others they meet. Now if only I could get residual payments for my efforts...until next time...
