A group called TechPedition sent a video crew over to the midnight showing of Revenge of the Fallen in my city. After much technical difficulties, they've finally posted their videos for the world to see. There are two separate videos, one before the film and one after. If you watch the post-movie video, you'll see yours truly advertising Seibertron.Com and babbling like a fool.

PS- No making fun of our accents! lol, I jest. But seriously, even *I* had trouble understanding some of them!

And why is it that every time somebody shoves a microphone in my face, my brain turns to mush?

Heh, after watching the video, I just realized I was the only person who actually took the microphone out of Sergio's hand when he held it out. No wonder he was looking at me funny.

Look out there are some big boys in that hood.

I am sorry, but if you really enjoyed this movie, then you have the brain capacity of a jelly fish. This is not me talking as a Transformers fan, but someone who just loves movies in general. It was very shiny and you can tell that Mr. Bay had fun playing with his toys, but the movie was crap.

Ha! Very funny vids. LOL

"Cybertron.com"? I thought we were "Seibertron.com" ("Seibātoron" or "saber-tron").

no this is you talking as a jerk, you can say the movie's crap, i wouldn't, but if that's your opinion then fine, but don't insult people who enjoyed the movie, that's just awful.

[[The_Fires_Of_Inferno]]

The movie had a sucky plot, it disregards alot of the stuff in the first one, it has some of the coolest characters in the background, there were stupid jokes, flashy explosions, and the movie is really a poor use of medium. Which are all reasons why I loved it. I watched this movie and I got what I wanted (but didn't get) out of the first one. I didn't want a bunch of effing kids talking to each other, I wanted giant robots shooting and hurting one another! The plot isn't any better than the plot of ANY of the tv show's plot or even the 80's movie plot. This is an action, scifi, summer blockbuster, michael effing bay movie! What did you expect? Touching scenes and oscar preformances? Isn't the ONE thing that people were complaining about the lack of face time for the actual robots? And now they have their face time and they're doing what they were supposed to be doing, SHOOTING EACHOTHER! There's a damn good reason why they never show maximals and predicons, or autobots and decepticons at the negotiation table, cause that's boring! Yes I might have a child-like expectation of the movie, but I went in with that because it's TRANSFORMERS! Seriously, what DID you guys (those who complain) expect from the movie?

Savage you Seibertron pimp

We had MS based seibertronians doing shameless plugs, black people saying that the "racial stereotyped" characters were the best ones and a large redneck woman wanting to touch herself in the theater. I'd say that's about a normal movie turnout for around these parts. 8-}

And so you're saying that everyone who went into that theatre are jellyfish? Go piss off Devastator 'bout his BALLS.

Well, everybody's entitled to their opinion. :roll:

Agreed. Everyone is different, that is what makes the world go round.
But, speaking as both a transfan and a movie fan who loved the first film to bits, i believe ROTF was simply dreadful.

Don't tolerate this Badass Grim. Yes, everyone is entitiled to an opinion but that was not an opinion that was someone who just flat out made a personal attack. Magnus Rex just blatantly, openly insulted the vast majority of people on this site that saw that movie and he did so for no other reason than the fact that everyone did not see the movie from HIS point of view.
Your response to him was justified, supported and far milder than what he actually deserves.
Can we get some authoratative action behind us on this one? I know I haven't exactly been a saint this last week trying to defend my view points but I haven't been THAT blatant. At least I have made an attempt at tact and diplomacy and even BG here deffered to the "opinion" point.

Oh. Sorry about that, T-max.

I thought that pissing off Devy would get you crushed into a bloody pulp.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it will definitely get you squished to a bloody pulp. Your idea has TONS of merit, it's just not a punishment that lasts long enough. *Squish*...and it's done. Now feeding him to a Mod...*shudder* I've had my butt chewed by a Mod ONCE and that was not a pleasant experience and most certainly not one I want to repeat. At least not on this site. It happened to me 2 weeks ago on TFW and it didn't hurt near as bad. The guys on here, they're bad-asses! Nothing scares me anymore but theses guys are enough to cause worry. I respect them totally. :grin:

"Bravely bold Magnus_Rex
Rode forth from Seibertron.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh, brave Magnus_Rex.
He was not all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Magnus_Rex.

He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes plucked out,
And his elbows broken.
And to have his kneecaps split,
And his body burned away.
And his limbs all hacked and mangled,
brave Magnus_Rex.

His head smashed in,
And his heart cut out,
And liver removed,
And his bowels unplugged,
And his nostrels raped,
And his bottom burned off,
And his pen(is split)--"

...Er, that's enough of that, men.

Kudos to whomever knows this song.

The Ballad of Brave Sir Robin! One of the few of their songs that I don't have in my MP3 Library...yet. A Monty Python song for the 2 or 3 of you out there that either don't care for that kind of comedy or who may be too young remember what comedy genius REALLY is. Youngsters may want to start with Red Dwarf and work their way backwards to Python.
