Me and my buddy up there were managing to converse perfectly well and understood each other, so thanks to fruity spandex man for managing for attempting to clarify something that needed absolutely no clarification whatsoever.

In the meantime, check out these fun articles from yesterday at JFK. That could've easily have been me.

That what I thought. Now i havent hit up the ole wiki or nothing but I thought a dark Comedy is comedy with Dark serious tone throughout the move I.E Grosse Point Blank. A Black Comedy, is Comedy with Black Stars I.E. "Friday". But I could be wrong.
There's a possibility that that's what "black comedy" is in the States, but over here "black comedy" refers to the same thing as "dark comedy", i.e; a farce about trying to dispose of a corpse would be black comedy, regardless of the ethnicity of the performers.
EDIT: As Yeti remarks, above.
Of course, that's the traditional view. It may be that colloquially, in the States at least, the definition has changed in recent decades.

I don't care what sort of comedy it is so long as is funny comedy. A dog pissing up Ironhides leg isn't comedy, it's bloody pathetic.

Why not just wait 138 days and oh ... go and see it for yourself and then decide?

I think some people are just at the stage that they are looking for things to bitch about no matter what they are told otherwise.
This 'big wad of cash' argument is so stupid it's not even funny.

Every day that you are not a mod makes me cry...on the inside.
Back on topic:
OOH! Prime's not just the right type of semi, Megatron is a jet (Did anyone see Energon?) and Bumblebee isn't a VW Beetle.
Bumblebee is easily explained. A) They're only using American cars, and B) Volkswagen didn't want the Beetle in anyway.
As for Prime and Megs...C'mon, guys. Prime making slight changes to his form while transforming is one thing. Megatron shrinking enough to be held in the hand of Starscream or Barricade is a huge stretch.

That's right. We don't know. So because we don't know why don't we speculate and make up stories and post **** that's not right?
Whatever, you're just proving my point all the more. No matter what arguments people come up with there will be arguments against. But the main difference is that the people that are giving the movie a chance are at least bending toward acceptance.
The haters are hating no matter what they get positive.

Y'see, a lot of folk around here quite like Ryan (seeing as he runs the place and all) and probably don't take kindly to you basically accusing him of accepting a bribe rather than the slightly more believable scenario that he actually did like what he saw.

Agreed, I can safely say that after all these years I know Ryan well enough to know that he would not jeopardize the site's integrity by taking money to curb his opinion.
to insinuate otherwise without merit is pure insult.

Because right now I don't want to put my money behind a product I don't support 100%.
"It was in this sequence that I (a fan of the series and the 1986 movie) began to grow seriously skeptical. In the TRANSFORMERS texts with which we're all familiar, the Autobots are wise and capable of handling themselves in the human world (except for the episode where they wreak havoc in a museum). Here, they were characterized as clumsy, loveable buffoons in the vein of Pete's Dragon."
