Out of the Blue

George Carlin has a joke about the guy who can't find his underwear, and decides this must be the work of a thief ("Somebody stole my underwear… This week's underwear!"). This is a cautionary tale about the likelihood of such a pointless theft, described in the bit as a "surgical strike." This reminds me not to jump to conclusions after noticing the caps are missing from the valve stems on our car. As one of those nuts who actually checks his tire pressure regularly (something I strongly recommend as an easy task with vast safety implications), I have a pretty set routine for removing and replacing the caps, so I would be surprised if I just lost them, though that repeated process certainly offers extra opportunities to have done so. Anyway, I'm not sure those caps actually do anything, but I guess I need to scrape up a dollar and buy a new set. Then I need to set out to investigate the possible crime.

Good. Not great.

SST

What I liked:
- Bumblebee as a Camaro surprizingly worked!
- Optimus Prime (dead on! voice: totally! they gave him a mouth which was a nice change)
- fantastic emotions conveyed by Bumblebee
- Transformers mano-a-mano battles
- Autobots introduction was giddity giddity giddity gid-di-ty! Probably one my favorite scenes in the entire film.

What I didn't like:
- identifying Transformers during battle scenes was tough. Optimus and Bumblebee are the only ones I could identify within seconds
- doesn't even explain HOW Bumblebee arrived on Earth
- too many human scenes
- Megatron (didn't look or sound like him; doesn't even transform into a gun, or any weapon for pete's sake!)
- shaky camera shit (damn it directors, for the love of god steady cam scenes! yeah i know it's for "intensity." fuck intensity. i can't see shit!)
- no epic battles (20+ Autobots vs 20+ Decepts)
- too many support characters
- too much joking around... i mean seriously too much
- no female Transformers (this should've been obviously included; at least one on each side)
- they had one of Soundwave's pets but NO SOUNDWAVE! Like WTF?! >:(
