Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Transformers 3)

Katy Perry isn't actually all that hot either though, it's just her fairly impressive cleavage that gets in the way of male thought process'.

Katy Perry's cleavage isn't that impressive. It is on the low side of average for many women I know (my wife included), and I still think she's hot.

Michael Bay should have hired the chic from NBC's The Event, Taylor Cole ( see below ) instead of that faked-lipped Victoria Secret girl. She is way better looking than that blonde.

Those Idiotic, Jive-Talkin' Robots Won't Be Back in 'Transformers 3' After All

So much about "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" was horrible that picking a least favorite moment is like choosing between your children, if you kinda hated your children. But you really can't fall much farther than "Mudflap" and "Skids," the "urban" robots that, as The New York Times' Manohla Dargis' rightly said, "have been given conspicuously cartoonish, so-called black voices that indicate that minstrelsy remains as much in fashion in Hollywood as when, well, Jar Jar Binks was set loose by George Lucas." Director Michael Bay defended Mudflap and Skids (who, in the year 2009, had gold teeth and bug ears), claiming, "We're just putting more personality in. I don't know if it's stereotypes -- they are robots, by the way. These are the voice actors. This is kind of the direction they were taking the characters and we went with it."

But even Bay is smart enough to avoid more controversy while he can, claiming Monday on the official Michael Bay fan board -- oh, by the way America, there are Michael Bay fan boards -- that the twins will not appear in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

A fan blog tried to get fired up that Bay was lying, with reports that new and "improved" versions of Mudflap and Skids were seen on the set yesterday, but they have the date wrong on the post; the post they're referencing is more than a year old. So it looks like there will not in fact be awful stereotypes of African-Americans as portrayed by robots from an alien planet in the third "Transformers" movie. In Michael Bay's brain, perhaps this is considered progress.

Transformers 2 made a total of $836,297,228 and you say Transformers 2 sucked? I'm sorry but the box office gross disagrees with you:

I enjoyed them too, shame. I didn't even think "black stereotypes" either when I saw them, just two comical robots :p I guess this is another case of PC going out of control.... People need to stop over analyzing things and just enjoy the movie, why they gotta find "deeper meanings" in things that aren't really there is beyond me. That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.

In terms of quality, it did suck. Michael Bay even acknowledges it without directly saying it sucked.

I'll bet you if they made a robot with a country accent that liked noodling, nobody would say a word. I love how people get so touchy over the dummest things.

Have you seen the Wreckers? Nascar's. One has a baseball cap, one has a mullet an the other has a beer belly. It's safe to assume they will be redneck transformers. :laugh:

First Review

?I?m genuinely surprised what a strong effort this film is, not just in terms of its scope, but also in its pacing, performances, and ideas. This one dares to go dark from time to time, and that helped me find the often-lacking component of many Bay films: emotion. You probably won?t shed any tears watching DARK OF THE MOON, but you will care when certain lives are lost or in peril. This one might actually rock you a little to your foundation; get excited about that.? ? ?TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON begins with a great concept and a cool backstory.? ? ??in the final hour of this TRANSFORMERS chapter that I simply forgot to breathe; there isn?t a spare second to do so. For a solid hour, Bay and his CGI-created robot buddies decimate Chicago. And I won?t lie: seeing it so realistically and utterly leveled was almost more than I could handle.? ? ?Huntington-Whiteley is actually pretty good here and certainly miles better than Megan Fox, if only because she?s actually got something to do here beyond just looking like a million bucks.? ? ?I?ll thank whatever movie gods I have to that Sam?s annoying parents are barely in this TRANSFORMERS installment.?

That is actually very encouraging news.

Now looking forward to this and have some hope it won't be as crass (although still mindlessly enjoyable) as Revenge of the Fallen

In terms of quality, it did suck. Michael Bay even acknowledges it without directly saying it sucked.

Well if that is true, why did he make the film in the first place? As a director, he has the choice to change things on the script as he sees fit and to refuse to film anything he does not agree with so the fault is on his shoulders. If he knew the script and story sucked, he should have gone back to the drawing board and start over.

Actually, the script for the second movie was rushed because of the writers strike. Bay had already committed to making the second movie and a release date had already been set. There was no time to go back to the drawing board and start over. The script was written in a rush, the strike happened and there was no time for re-writes. I enjoyed it as a popcorn-flick, but even Bay himself admitted the second movie wasn't all that great.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
