While I'm cleaning up my "draft" folder

I heard about the Transformers Movie (opens July 4th) from my brother a while back. My reaction was "Are you kidding me? Someone was that desperate for a movie idea? What sort of Georgia Tech grad would fork over $10 to see such a pile of poo? My indignation and condescension were both boisterous and overbearing.

Then I saw the teaser trailer and the follow-up trailer. Complete. Opinion. 180.


Here's a movie by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg that showcases everything right with American Cinema. A movie that shows signs Man Law level awesomenesses. To wit, it contains:

Guns
Chicks
Fire trucks
Robots
Stuff that blows up
Stuff that almost blows up
Lots of loud noises and shiny objects

Yeah. So I'm definitely going to see it. But that's not why I posted this. I posted this because Optimus Prime has been selected by the Newspapers Association of America (NAA) to endorse their campaign to get people to read more newspapers. A combo so random and ironic as to justify comment on a very slow news day like this one.



Obviously....I've got nothing today. Clearly. Just totally nothing.
