Thanks for the definition, and here I thought it was all about Pink Floyd! Oh well, I still think it's worthy of mashing up!

The subtitle sounded a little cumbersome to me at first, but it's growing on me. It's different and has a slightly sinister sound to it.

As for the name, it's alright, I guess. at first I was undecided on it, as i had high expectations, but it wasn't a big disappointment. Now, with they way the logo is, it's good.

I used a Transformers font I downloaded aages ago (just did a quick search, you can get it here), so I used the font, and retyped the whole thing, no hackery of the existing text required, experience has told me that it never usually works out that well!
The only problem with this is that the font inst as wide as the font they used in the original image so I scaled the width of it, a bit brutal, but it got the job done. Added a bevel effect and a gradient overlay, and it looks passable as the original. If you PM me, I can send you the original PSD if you're curious!
EDIT:- I used Photoshop CS4 btw...

If by "call in to work" you mean have a quick visit to work on a day off then no.
(Because that's how I interpret "call in to work")
But yeah, chuck a sickie is to have a day off when you're perfectly healthy. To make it worse, I can't even go see it that night because I won't finish until well after 8pm, the nearest theatre is an hour away, and I really have to be there the next day!

The 30th of June 2011 is a Thursday in Australia, so I guess that's why we are getting it a day earlier over here.

Movies usually open on a Thursday here? Or Wednesday midnight? That's right isn't Burn?
China and Japan get ripped off tho! Do they figure it will be bootlegged in those countries long before that date anyway? Curious...

Always a Thursday. SOME movies, depending on their popularity, will get a Wednesday midnight release, though most of them are taking on a more "pay more to see first!" attitude.

But that's just because I worked in a planetarium and my husband has a bachelors in Astronomy. And I cannot wait to see this movie.

Im gonna have to say the Super Bowl. 1- Its the most watched tv event in the US all year and there isnt a better time to do so. And 2- Thats when ROTFs trailer came out last year and they even built up the suspense leading up to the debut of the trailer with reminders that it was soon to premiere. I was almost as excited about that as I was about the game!

I live in Melbourne, so while being jealous of you, I would'nt have made it all the way to Sydney for the premiere, I don't think my fandom extends that far, but if they came to Melbourne...
