@RottenTomatoes: Roger Ebert gives Transformers 1 star. "One of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies." http://t.co/Kt3bi9D

:rofl:

the guy seems to hate everything :p...everytime I see his name mentioned its always because a review or controversy over a tweet

I thought she was Scottish. I didn't think they were one and the same.

She is Scottish.

The English, Welsh and Scottish are all technically British, regardless of if any might moan about being put under the label that has anything to do with being part of the UK but that is usually just some angry Scots, lol.

But isn't Irish not = Scottish. Don't they get twisted if someone confuses the two, I thought the same thing goes with British and Scottish.

What do you mean by twisted?

And ignoring the double negative, :p, Irish aren't Scottish, those from Northern Ireland iirc can be Irish and British because northern island is governed and part of the UK, just like the Scottish are Scottish and British, the same goes for the rest.

The point being, lol, Karen Gillan is Scottish, but that doesn't mean she isn't British, the same would go for anyone from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

He's a ****ing dip****, I hate him and his reviews :angry: Going to see it Thursday with my girl and not expecting a A+ storyline because that's not what Transformers is about in my opinion, it's all about the fighting :woot: We were going to see it in IMAX but our IMAX decided Cars 2 was a better movie to show :blink: From all of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes I think people are going in to this movie expecting Schindler's List or something..... This movie is supposed to be dark, gritty and high octane action which I am sure this delivers in every way and I am sure the majority of the people who see it are expecting the same thing I am. Movie critics are just that, I would love for them to make a movie so we can all cut them down and call there stuff ****! :laugh:

Yeah, the 3D was so worth it. Saw it last night, and it was incredible. Only the second time I've ever enjoyed 3D, and I feel like it really added to the experience. It made Michael Bay really slow down his cuts so we could understand and take in what was going on more. See it in 3D for sure.

P.S - Avatar wasn't the other 3D film I enjoyed, it was Tron: Legacy. It's all about value added, not just random 3D... Avatar just felt like 3D for the sake of 3D.

I really want to see it in 3D but my first time is going to be with my family and 3D makes my mom sick as a dog so that's a no go. Maybe next weekend I will take my little brother again for 3D :cool:

Just got back from seeing it, 3D is amazing, never been a huge fan of 3D, didnt even like the 3D in avatar but for Transformers i loved it. While the script i didnt feel was great (not so much the story but the speech) it was a great action film. The CGI effects i thought were amazing, possibly the best iv seen, the fight scenes were awesome. Its defo the best of the 3 films.

Possibly my only complaints would be that the start felt very rushed (felt that if you blinked you'd miss it all) then the middle slowed right right down which made it feel a very long film. You could also tell that alot of the budget went into the effects rather than the script which is a bit annoying, but was a good story line i felt none the less.

Seeing it again at the imax though as the 3D was that good in my opinion

Response to bold and underline: Welp, it's not, it's bright and explosions take place every other thirty seconds.

Response to underline: That's about all it is... brainless action..

Sad to say, the bad acting and cheesiness is still there.. and so are the paid advertisements for products. I can't count how many times you see a Lenovo monitor in shot.

It might be I'm a douchebag *******, but the gay jokes made me laugh. Going to convince the wife to go see it this weekend if she ever stops working. But now, I'm back and might as well stay awake another hour then go for my run, expected I would get bacl earlier from a midnight showing than 330. And I was more annoyed by the blatant Nokia N9 advertising at the end of the movie. It was fun, and that's what movies should be while you watch them, especially the summer blockbuster variety. To me it was well worth the money, especially loved ones.

Shia LaBeouf has revealed that he hooked up with Megan Fox while filming the first two Transformers films.

The actor cautiously nodded in agreement when asked whether the two had developed any romantic feelings during their time together on the film set.

"Look, you're on the set for six months with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them," the actor explained to Details magazine.

"I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry on screen."

When asked whether Fox had been dating her now-husband Brian Austin Green at the time, LaBeouf repeated the phrase "I don't know" 12 times over with different intonations, before adding: "It was what it was."

LaBeouf recently described Fox's absence from Transformers: Dark of the Moon as "a blessing", as it allowed his character Sam Witwicky to have more of a story arc.

can't blame him :p

got a question for you guys about 3D.. i've never actually been to see a 3d movie yet, but wanted to see TF3 in 3D, however i wear glasses and was always worried that wearing another pair of glasses over mine would be uncomfortable and generally mess up the 3D experience, anyone with glasses have experience with 3D?

They bother me, and I don't wear glasses. I normally don't go to 3D movies, but the screening for this was free, so I did.

I've seen a few 3D movies this way & tbh it doesn't bother me at all. Within minutes I forget about the annoyance.

About the girl, you guy's expectancy must be high. She's no godess but she ain't no dog either. It wouldn't make or break movie for me.

^^ Yes, I wear glasses too (my left eye is short sighted and my right is not =P) and it didn't feel too uncomfortable imo.

Just came back from watching Transformers 3 also and I cried when

Sentinel shot Ironhide

and it made me cry :'( He is my favourite Transformer alongside Bumblebee. Overall I thought the movie was really good and heaps better than the second one. I still prefer the first one though since it has a nice amount of comedy, action and seriousness to it than the other 2. Overall 7/10 for the action and story stuff despite the ending felt really rushed imo.

one things that seam to bother me while watching it

  • Blood (c'mon when do robots bleed lol)
  • Headshots to kill (i always thought u killed the robots via the spark they had)...
    They seam to focus on headshots in the third film, even mention it a few times in the fighting scenes at the end etc...

oh and i wear glasses, they dont really affect the 3D'ness but more of the fact they sit slighty uncomfy on the bridge of my nose but you kinda get use it.

Hot british chicks = Rachel Hurd-Wood, Naomi Watts, Kate Beckinsdale, Elizabeth Hurley (there are more this is just a short list)

And I'd certainly add Rachel Aldana to that list.

Not british but hot = Karen Gillan

Oh hell yeah, give me Amy Pond any day!! My wife (also named Amy) even thinks she's hot!

That being said, we are going to see TF3 in 3D tomorrow afternoon. That's my anniversary present this year (will be married 11 years tomorrow).

Headshots to kill (i always thought u killed the robots via the spark they had)

Optimus used headshots nearly every time he killed another character in the other movies, so that isn't much of a change at all.

And I'd certainly add Rachel Aldana to that list.

I didn't go pron for a reason. There are quite a few adult stars I like. Faith Nelson being one of them.

As far as head shots go, the ROTF video game gave extra bonus for headshots. Headshots is nothing new for the franchise.

    • Damn, I loved this show back in the day.  
    • Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions in Linux, new SNI implementation is now the default with GSI backup Implemented full DBus-Menu server to be used by new SNI tray icon implementation Replaced Linux tray balloon notification DBus client Rewrote auto-shutdown DBus interface for Linux Rewrote sleep inhibit DBus interface for Linux Dropped deprecated Linux dbus-glib dependencies Completely new Windows asynchronous file handling, now using IOCP model with several block-alignment optimizations Better handling of system network resets and interface down/up cycles Added option to fully clear configuration in Settings > Import/Export Remember last option checkboxes when using Import/Export Fixed minor I2P incoming connection routing problems Much faster I2P vanity host name finder Much faster channel user vanity key

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
