That wasn’t the only reason this movie was racist, just one of many. I think you missed the point of Bay’s “joke”.

Michael Bay isn’n being racist.The twins can’t read that language because it was the language of the primes.Only Optimus Prime and his brothers can read it.

Transformers 2… I’m actually glad I watched it because now I finally have a name for that feeling of a director prying open your skull and taking a day after the bender in mexico shit directly into your brain for a subjective 17 hours of fecal overload. I’m hard pressed to think of a way to spend more money on a giant steaming pile of shit unless you were to stop waste sewage treatment in NYC for a year, package up the proceeds, and then buy it with the price based on it’s weight in gold. Oh, and Bay is involved, so of course you’d have to blow it up while filming it with a shaky camera amidst some sort of large scale military action. I do have to admit that if you were to remove plot, characters, and the director from the equation it wasn’t that bad.

I just saw the brand new trailer for District 9, and it looks even more awesome than before. One more month and counting….

We don’t have a movie review person anymore, so I don’t see why not. Scott may feel free to overrule me on that though.

I actually wrote a really weird review of The Proposal which turned into a rant about modern romantic comedies, Sandra Bullock’s career, Cary Grant movies, Ryan Reynolds and pre-code 30’s movies. Randy, would it be cool to post?

There are many great pieces of literature I’m probably missing out on. But it hasn’t effected my life yet, so I think I’ll be ok.

Coincidentally, I think The Proposal was probably the best Sandra Bullock movie I’ve seen in….maybe forever. Not a fan of her. But it was enjoyable. I probably would have never saw it, if that hadn’t been the movie my dad and stepmom chose for Father’s day Dinner and a movie. So maybe it got undeserved credit for being the movie I saw with such a good experience.

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds having a 12 year age difference only mildly creeped me out.

I dunno. Right now The Proposal (which my mother made me see with her) is duking it out with Transformers 2 for the worst movie of the summer for me.

One insulted my brain pan, the other made me want to grab Sandra Bullock by the hair and scream to her she’s 45 and needs to start doing grown-up movies.

I’m just padding to get to 100.

What’s “Lord or the Rings” ?

By: TotallyNotNick

TotallyNotNick — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:42:04 +0000

Yes. And I don’t think its Randy’s fault. I for one have never read Return of the King. Everytime I try reading Lord of the Rings it just makes me want to watch the movies, becuase those were my introduction to Middle Earth. Same basic principal.

By: Rusty James

Rusty James — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:34:41 +0000

I agree. Randy fucked up permanently.

Did you get my email?

Watchmen is something you have to read the right way at the right time. If I had seen the movie before reading the book, I honestly don’t know how it would affect my appriciation of the book

By: Rusty James

Rusty James — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:24:36 +0000

Randy, I carry this thread to 100 posts with comments berating you for your poor taste in everything.

Watchmen is not something to be “satisfied with” it is a great work of literature. You’re cheating yourself if you don’t read it and all of Moore’s early works, especially From Hell.

By: Saberj

Saberj — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:06:54 +0000

Yeah, I think Year One will probably end up as my least favorite movie as well. But not necessarily. I still find Michael Cera to be hilarious, so it’s got a redeeming quality for me. It’s possible something will top it.

By: Saberj

Saberj — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:05:41 +0000

Watchmen was a solid movie. I didn’t put it on my list, because I only listed Summer movies. With that said, I had never read the graphic novel, and after watching the movie, I lost the desire to do so. I was satisfied with the movie, and didn’t feel the need to know more.

I wouldn’t put it in my top 5 movies for the year, but it would probably make my top 10.

He did participate a couple times in the call in episodes, didn’t he? But then again, I think that almost everyone that showed up to the individual episodes was there because they mostly enjoyed the content. So there wasn’t a wide variety of opinions presented.

Polygon: I see I overlooked your mention. Sorry ’bout that.

Nick: Yeah, O&R is probably my favorite of the year so far. Well it was until last night.

Have you ever seen King of Comedy? If not I recommend it.

By: Polygon_Wizard

Polygon_Wizard — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:28:16 +0000

Ahem. Hello, Rusty?

Watchmen was #4 on my list up there. It’s not my favorite movie this year, but I did enjoy it (and I’m curious to see how different the extended version of the film is from the theatrical).

By: TotallyNotNick

TotallyNotNick — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:32:24 +0000

Oh Yeah! I loved Observe and Report, that would probablly make my list as well. Watchmen was really good, I thought, but not Best of the Year good.

By: Rusty James

Rusty James — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:29:52 +0000

And how come no ones mentioning Watchmen, I thought that was everyones favorite movie this year?

By: Rusty James

Rusty James — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:27:40 +0000

Nick, what did you think of Observe and Report.

By: TotallyNotNick

TotallyNotNick — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:10:33 +0000

The best movies I’ve seen that have come out in 2009 have been The Brothers Bloom, Star Trek, Up, Adventureland, Coraline and Up. The worst movies have been Terminator Salvation, Transformers and Wolverine.

O.o Maybe you have a better screening process or I must cast wider net for movies to watch, because this wasn’t even in the top ten worst movies I’ve seen this year.

Though no American movies are in my top ten best either.

Year One made me chuckle a few times at least, but it is still the weakest Apatow production. (Move over Drillbit Taylor)

By: Jack

Jack — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:30:40 +0000

I dunno man, I’d give that honour to Year One, it was justa bunchoflong shots with bad ADR over them. Also there was reallypoor continuity in that movie. At least there was some sort of effort put into Transformers 2’s direction… or was there, I actually can’t remember any details of the movie.

Hey nick, send me an email.

Transformers 2 is the worst-made film of 2009.

By: Sunshineyness

Sunshineyness — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:27:35 +0000

Randy? Rusty? Can you guys do a podcast special together? Just once?

Oh, the bicker-palooza that’ll be.
