interpol15Saw Transformers last night. The movie is seriously awesome. I spent the whole time in a glee-induced fit, barely unable to move past thoughts of "OMG, OMG, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, STARSCREAM!! Robots! In Disguise!"
As you can tell, the movie is great. Beyond great, and not just cause of the nostalgia. Michael Bay finally made a movie that didn't suck. And it was a total Michael Bay flick, but Speilberg managed to add enough of his magic that it was seriously up in the list of awesomest action/sci-fi flicks. Pearl Harbor, this wasn't.
The SFX were great, but didn't overwhelm the movie, HELLO, ROBOTS!, Shia LeBoeuf is suprisingly turning out to be one of the better actors of my generation, and SAMANTHA SMITH was in it!
For the Supernatural fans out there, Samantha is Mary Winchester. I nearly squeed when I saw her, because hello, massive Supernatural obsession here.
But I digress. Go off and see the movie, and celebrate Independence Day, or a late Canada Day, or early Bastille Day with robots and Explosions.
As a note to all Americans on my flist. Go and read the Declaration of Independence, or at least some John Locke. I know that many of you are celebrating today,and don't enjoy reading philosophy in summer, but especially now, we need to remember just what America is as a country, and with government. We cannot forget that we must fight against injustice and tyranny not just around the world, but at home first. The government is here to serve and protect its people, but WE are also here to serve and protect what it stands for. Today isn't a day about celebrating our right to vote and worship whom we please, but is a day to remember that we MUST do what is right and just, even if it means the loss of friends, status, and even life. We are here to make the world a better place for our children, to provide the hope that someday, all peoples will be able to live in peace together, that everyone will be afforded the same rights that we take for granted. Remember that we should not fight because we want to force our ideas on others. We should fight, however, for honor, liberty of our peoples, and for those that ask for our aid, not for those that we assume want it.
Thanks you
