John Rogers Responds to Libertas Review

I hate it when people read too much into things. ANyone remember "English" class in high school? You had to read these "great" books (most of which were ridiculously depressing and dull) and break down what their "real" meaning was. FOr Primus' sake, it's a freaking movie about giant alien robots with lots of explosions, cool effects, and a REALLLLLLY hot female lead: WHO GIVE A RAT'S A$$ WHAT IT MEANS?? I have decided that movie critics are English majors who couldn't get real jobs working at McDonald's or Taco Bell like us Music majors! Idiots!

Peopel arte allowed to have their own views. *Says in a chant*

Heck with it, These people need to be shot.

John Rogers sounds awesome.

I think some of you are forgetting that Michael Bay films ARE 'gung-ho pro-American.' Explosions, shaky-cam, stereotyping, and US patriotism is the glue that holds his movies together.

Glad to see people like him now. I'll try not to mention that he also helped write the script for Catwoman.

Comparing Optimus Prime and the Autobots to Bush and his political ideals is one of the worst things I've ever heard. That's almost as dumb as people getting mad about minorities portraying Persians in 300. Seriously, the Persians couldn't have realistically been Anglo-Saxons, and just because Prime loves freedom doesn't mean he loves Texas, America, and detaining enemy combatants. Poppycock, I say, poppycock! Go John Rogers!

I have to agree with Mr. Rogers. He also has a great sense of humor! "Seth Green and his army of robot chickens..."

Damn I love that show.

We're not all jerk-wads, I promise.

Besides, any English major worth their weight in whatever will tell you that there is no, one, definitive meaning to any story.

I agree with some of the deeper story lines. BUt this is NOT a deep story line. A lot of these critics seem to be self-important idiots who enjoy the power they think they have to make or break a movie. As for teaching, believe me I have the utmost respect for teachers. I suppose I was way too right-brained for some of that reasoning. I have to wonder to myself though if these authors that wrote these great stories were actually sitting there with a pen thinking "how can I put sexual symbolism into this story about a whale?" I find it difficult to believe that every story was written with some hidden meaning.

By the way, as a music major, we always made fun of English majors...LOL (please note that I don't work in music now...I'm back in school again..LOL)
