Folks, I'm not trying to be mean, I swear. I'm actually trying to help you here. But...didn't any of you read the updates or the news, at all?

I read these forums and consider the misinformation a challenge.

This will be the third or fourth time I've posted it, hopefully someone will read it instead of having to ask...

DOTM will be released in 2D, 3D, and IMAX/IMAX 3D.
The film was not made using IMAX cameras, hence no IMAX footage.
The first report was 134 minutes. (2 hours, 14 minutes, making it the shortest of the three.)
The second report was 153 minutes. (2 hours, 33 minutes, making it the longest of the three.)
The third report was that IMAX would receive the 153 minute cut, and regular theatrical would receive the 134 minute cut.

Both Bay (via Tweeting) and Nelson (via ShootForTheEdit forums and a direct phone call to Bay himself) have confirmed that there is no special IMAX edition. There is no special footage, no extra footage. The film, that everyone will see, is 153 minutes with end credits. The actual film itself, minus those credits will be 2 hours, 22 minutes. That means there's 11 minutes worth of credits.

That's the final word on it. 153 minutes WITH credits. 142 without credits.

We good?

Because most people don't like it when you ask questions they've already answered repeatedly. It's always better to look to see if someone's already answered a question before you ask it.

The irony of answering an question which isn't directly aimed at you or anyone in particular and then complaining about how awfull it is to answer these.

If you're not willing to put in the two minutes it takes to Google this, then don't be surprised when people get frustrated at answering it again, or just outright ignore you.

And "having a life" does not mean you can't spare those two minutes to avoid making someone repeat themselves over and over.

Wow ! I guess RhA,Lamwarhorse and myself have learned a very important lesson today.....Never ask the same question twice !

@Shadowman Im not really sure what you think forms are for soooo maybe you need to Google that.

I thought I knew what a form was, but I'm not sure how it applies in this situation.

What kind of movies are you used to watching that you think two and a half hours is short?

The first movie and ROTF.

Really? That's your frame of reference? It's like a fifteen minute difference, that's not a lot. Most movies don't run nearly as long. 100 minutes is the standard, DOTM is 30 to 50 minutes longer. And even if it is the shortest of the three, it's the shortest of the three by only a few minutes, you are not going to be able to notice the difference.

Sun Jun 12, 2011 10:00 pm

All I have to say is this, We're getting another Transformers movie, which is epic in and of itself, so who cares how long or short it is. Let's just be happy we're getting another one.

Google isn't that reliable. The websites I'm getting are from local movie theatres that claim it's 109 minutes long. This forum is a more reliable source.

You can also get misinformed in two minutes, I guess.

This is still beyond the point, though. Everyone is free to ask any question here as long as it is in accordance with the forum rules, right? So if you see a question asked a second time, anyone is free to ignore it. Autobot032 could have easily done this, but hasn't and in doing so helped someone else.

Much of the information out there can be found through some way or another, the easiest way is just asking. Helping people help themselves is a good thing, but sighing while doing so is, at least, somewhat weird, wouldn't you say?

Search functions are a good thing, but those are not the alpha and omega of knowledge, you also need to be able to ask the right question.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:05 pm

No, sorry. Most forums have it as a rule, if only an unwritten one, that you should always check to see if your question has already been asked and answered before if you ask it. There's no two ways about this.

So another words again NEVER ask the same quetion twice right Shadowman ?

Im sorry man but if i have a question im going to ask it I dont care if its been aske 100 times. Im sorry if you have a problem with that wich seems to be the case so the best thing you can do is just ignore my questions.

Okay then. Ignore we will.

The previous posted info is for your own benefit, so you shouldn't have to search, but no one will sticky the important points, and even if they did...they still don't get 'em exactly right.

If the rule is unwritten, it's personal. There's no higher moral code between asking and not asking, except for the one you agree to follow. The're are several ways around this, just not for you and that's something else.

Also, what happened to 'every' forum, it's 'most' now?

Technically there are such things as unwritten rules that can be enforced by authorities. Then there are also the ones that SHOULD be punishable, like wearing Ed Hardy in public.

lol

I hate to derail this, but I have to for a sec.

I hear the name, I've seen the Bic lighters, and I'm just not getting it. Who is Ed Hardy and why do so many hate him?
