After seeing both Walking to Werner and Transformers, I heartily recommend seeing the former on the big screen at NWFF, and waiting until the latter comes out on Netflix and then renting something else.

Transformers, more like commercial for the army with occasional "blow-job faced" hot girl sprinkled in for good measure...yeah, two and a half fucking hours of it! Jeez!

Someone should do some Transformers porn at the next HUMP. I would, but I don't have the equipment.

Ah, Raise the Red Lantern. I watched it in high school, and it made me want to slit my wrists. Great movie.

Hey, why didn't you like Harry Potter? Just curious (I loved the first two, haven't like the last two, but am nevertheless dying to see it).

Good thing the HP movies don't have to be good for me to watch them anyway!

(Haven't loved any of them, oh well)

They don't pay critics enough to have to sit through shit like Transformers.

Lighten the fuck up. Transformers was extremely well made dumb summer fun. If you don't like dumb summer fun movies, don't go see it. It wasn't any more pro-military than "Aliens". You don't have to love the War in Iraq to like seeing gunpowder and steel raining down on evil space aliens.

Or just wait for the next lighthearted Lars von Trier or Vincent Gallo opus.

So, is like Michael Bay paying the Stranger to promote Transformers? Because you guys are posting pics of it and babbling about it constantly. It's like some kind of viral marketing thing where even multiple negative reviews shown repetitiously effectively promotes it. Enough with the fucking Transformers. It sucked when we were kids, it sucks now.

It's odd don't you think, that nobody is discussing how SIFF just plowed into SAM with its noir festival? I mean come on... first annual? I think SAM's been doing this for longer than the 10 years I've been living in this town. WTF!

There's more than enough noir to spread around. (Especially if SIFF remains content to unearth such negligible noirs as "Deadline at Dawn"...)
