TWO THINGS

FIRST: i just watched transformers. awesome. great solid movie with good action, good characters, ample humor (including witty references to the original cartoon series (im going to start using "i think there is more than meets the eye with you" as a pickup line)), and the first time i can ever recall an emotional attachment to a camaro being pinned down by multiple helicopters with giant harpoons. this movie seriously rocked.

however, i am thoroughly disappointed that the toy industry completely botched it. plastic? who the crap wants a plastic optimus prime, or bumble bee, or even jazz? seriously? is the war in iraq so bad that we have to collect all the metal we can for bullet shells? the best christmas present i ever received as a kid was a solid metal transformer (i dont even remember which one it was; i remember it was a red sports car). i played with that thing for hours a day for years. it was the best toy i ever had. there is no way a plastic replica could possibly withstand the abuse my metal one went through.

but the movie is still great.

SECOND: i hate flaky people.
