Remember last week when I posted a long-lost video of myself reviewing Rob Zombie's Halloween II? WELL HERE'S ANOTHER ONE, BITCHEZ! Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen:

Keep doing these, they're hillarious!

The only time anyone ever wanted Shia TheBeef for his brain.

And I wonder about the working Transformers. What if you're the bulldozer, and your job that day is to bulldoze a community center or a school or a home for orphan nuns? Do you do the job, because it's your job, or do you risk blowing your cover to do the right thing?

Silly Lindy. You're not supposed to understand robots, or anything else in this movie. You're just supposed to sit back and be awed by explosions and CGI. If you attempt to enjoy the movie on any other level, it is an utter failure.

Does anyone else think these movies would have been infinitely better if Jay Baruchel had been cast instead of Shia-whatever?

Uh, they're EVIL ROBOTS...that IS what they do all day, every day.

And that's why they MUST be stopped.

Zombie Robots?

Robots don't need jobs.

@3,

Maybe they conveniently break down.

these videos are only fueling my little crush on you.

@8 - Yeah, I don't know about that. If you're the bulldozer that keeps breaking down, that's going to look suspicious, and you might get scrapped for parts.
