I saw it. There are no words.
I felt like a kid again. Stupid lines, thin love story (who cares), huge gigantic robots battling in the street. AWESOME.
I'm not gonna say there was nothing wrong with it. It took a little while to get moving, and some of the action sequences were confusing, but who cares? Did I mention GIANT ROBOTS battling in the street?
Some will complain about the changes from the original cartoon. In the court of my opinion those complaints can be directed to the nearest cinderblock wall. It kept the spirit of the cartoon I watched as a kid from the cheesy Autobot lines to the bad post-action one liners. There was enough hilarity in it to keep it kid friendly. (Funny, though, no too many kids in the theater. Mostly 30-35 year olds. Hmmmm.)
And though I normally hate this, they left room for the sequel, which rumor has there will be at least two.
Sweeeeeeet.

Overheard in my local movie theater
"I'm not gonna lie to ya...I am f#cking pumped for this movie"
As heard by my lady friend every time we walk by the huge Transformers display. Said by yours truly. I am taking a big bath in dorkness and feel not one once of shame. I might have referred to it as a Transformers-gasm. When I say might I mean I say it all the time.
I have, at this point. This entire week with nothing to do. One audition for Baby and that's it. No overtime. No filming. Nothing.
So now I can get my house in decent shape, exercise, do some writing, play some music, have drinks with friends. It's gonna be nice. Until something happens, which always does. Liek Garrison Keiller says, "If you find yourself happy, just wait a few minutes."
Oooo, I can get a haircut! Now that Very Small Rooms is done shooting I can chop the mop. It's been way too long for three weeks now.
