FG --unfortunately a bigger budget doesn't necessarily mean a higher quality movie. You gotta have a rock solid script, and unfortunately b/c of the strike, this one didn't. I am glad though that the Academy is preparing to have 10 or 11 new technical categories so that special effects companies like ILM can take home some Oscar hardware. They truly deserve them for wowing us.
I'm still shocked the first movie's Transformers lost the Oscar to a TALKING POLAR BEAR!?
Ya, that ticks me off too. But not more than when "Happy Feet" beat "Casino Royale" in its opening week. I mean, Bond is classic, been around years and years (and CR is in the top 5 all time for Bond flix) only to be beat by some poopy dancing penguin movie. Just thinking about it pisses me off.
I hope TF3 doesn't fall pieces similar to Spiderman 3 --tried to do too much and failed, not as good as first 2.
