The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer - Starfire - 02-20-2008
No I hated it for multiple reasons. The main two though are...
1. Michael Bay's directing "style". (Weak on plot, big on racism and over the top patriotism. Oh, and lots of explosions.)
2. It was a two hour long GM commercial. Along with other frivolous product placement of course. It reminded me of the Truman Show. This is coming from a happy Ford and Pontiac owner mind you. So I take no sides. (For once.
) I just thought it was silly. I mean the scene where they destroyed the Mustang... why was that necessary?While the robot designs weren't what I expected, that wasn't the issue. If someone else had directed it, (and gotten the funding from someone other than a freaking car company), it would have more than likely been a better movie.

Racism? I hate to tell you Star, but if you think that the movie was racist then all movies are racist. The case in fact, is that most of all movies have stereotypes of some sort. Which brings me to my point of stop being so damn sensitive. (Oh and before you even go there, both sides of my family are German and suffered for it during WWII, so don't even think that my family doesn't know about racism).
Over the top patriotism? What showing the U.S. soldiers as good guys. OMG its the end of the freaking world. I guess you'd rather watch Jarhead or some other over the top hate the U.S. soldier movie. I mean really what is the deal with people hating our soldiers being portrayed in a positive light. (For once).
As for plot, meh its Transformers, what are you expecting Shakespeare, or Hemmingway? The plot fits the type of movie it was, which is just an action movie based off an old cartoon. I think people build up these movies to be Epic moments in their lives. Its just a movie, it was just a show, get a grip
3: .Finally we come to the commercial part, we live in a capitalist society. I know its hard to believe, but we do. I own a Jeep, love my Jeep and really don't like Chevy. Did I give a crap that there were Chevies throughout the movie? Not in the least.
Star ya really need to chill on this whole extreme stuff. Just chill out.

He would cease to be Star at that point
And how is it that I haven't set your forum title here yet, DDD? Oh well, that'll be fixed shortly

I agree with DDD to be honest. But about the commercial part, it made me want to buy a Mustang and a Pavelow III :tongue:
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer - SBR_Ice - 02-20-2008
the movie didn't make me want to buy a Mustang....cause I already wanted one before the movie :lol:
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer - Starfire - 02-21-2008
LOL. I find it amusing that you think me extreme DDD.
Extreme people blow up airports and crap like that. I would never willingly harm anyone or anything. I am simply extremely opinionated. Combine that with an utter lack of shame and you get... well... me.
That said. I still think Michael Bay couldn't direct traffic.
Oh, and by the way, there's no need to get personal.
Sheesh.
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer - DDD - 02-21-2008
Extreme left-wing yes. Just cause a person doesn't blow up something doesn't mean they can't believe in something to the point that it blinds them.
Personal? When did I get personal? I didn't call you a name. I was laying down the facts, maybe in a slightly sarcastic tone, and asking you to calm your rhetoric down.
I live in MD, I have to deal with extreme left-wingers everyday. You tend to get a little sarcastic when you deal with the same people with the same talking points time and time again.
Anyway
::End Politic Rant::
Peace Out

No politics on these forums.
Or I smack your post around.
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer - Starfire - 02-22-2008
Look DDD, we are never going to agree on this subject. I have so many other arguments and counter-arguments I've thought of that I've edited this post more times than I can count.
Simple answer is, you are right and I am left. It's irrelevant. The only thing we need to concern ourselves with politically is this.
Rebel > Imperial.
Something I think we can all get behind.
(Cue Nisdain.

Yeah, my brother just had to replace the tranie in his Mustang. Do yourself a favor and don't buy a Ford.

You're correct of course.

However you forgot to finish it:
