Rumbling to life.....

The Continuing Saga...
The incipient trainwreck known as the latest Transformers movie is still rumbling towards that bridge. The recent exposure of the exploding truck full of Furbies just fit the whole metaphor. I'll be there opening day, but I'll make sure to bring some Pepto Bismol along.

On this topic I did have a minor glimmer of hope - they cast Robert Downey, Jr as "Ironman". However, the leaked pics of the mechanical suit design look like Oscar's trash can and The Rocketeer had an illicit affair. I hope like heck that's FUD.

Cautionary Note
If your video store has the same sort of employee demographical profile as ours, he's a couple things to look out for:
-- Desert Punk does not belong in the Family or Kids sections. I know it's animated, but it's most definately not a kid flick. If you're a grownup who enjoyed Futurama or Family Guy, it might be right up your alley. But definately not for the short set.
-- The 10th or 11th "Land Before Time" video is due to come out. Please run (do NOT walk) away from this disk as fast as humanly possible.
-- Troy is as bad as you remember it.
-- So is "The Black Hole".
-- Jersey Girl has improved over time, though. Weird.
