That's right! As Wendy Testaburger once said, [when you get defeated in a competition,] you can't hold it against the person who won, because that's the only way you really lose.

You would think for all the years I have been a member (Going on 5) I would have kept a ledger of all those blessed knuckleheads who come to the defense of thier wrongley tarnished idols who drop thier load and don't even stay for dinner or dessert! Anyways, If I kept such a journal I would have already crashed my homeserver from the overload long ago. However, there have been some good ones over the years who have proven very amusing (#1 Sly Fan Anybody) and given you and me much fun (I going out on a limb and throw John's name as well) along with our esteemed HeadRazzBerry. I got to admit I don't think I've ever remembered being called a "little agry girl" before (Don't think anybody else at this forum has either) LOL.

As with all the others, now forgotten (and I refuse to take the next three months to go back and try to look all of them up) I will wear the title of "angry little girl" with pride.

There is one other point I want to make to Merg: Just because I loved Mr. Potato Head as a child, doesn't mean I want to see Mr. Potato Head The Motion Picture....followed by 8 lame sequels. Some beloved things from our childhood are best left there, as precious memories. 

Incidentally, I didn't vote for Trannies 2, but the majority spoke. And I think it was a deserving choice.

My point exactly, saturnwatcher. I'm sure they are plenty of haters out there who love movies that are bloated with bad CGI, gaping plot holes, bathroom humor, racist and sexist undertones, editing mistakes, a lead actress choosen for her car washing abilities, plus a script that was apparently thrown together over one weekend. 

But the Razzies voters do not love movies like this. And if you don't like it, Merg, go make your own damn Worst Movie Award show.

Despite its few faults, this is this summer’s biggest ticket and ties with Star Trek for the best summer blockbuster of 2009.

"Few flaws"? Try many! And blockbuster of the Summer, maybe, but then came winter ... and a little movie you might have heard of ... "Avatar"??

So once it hit the news and all other media outlets, there seems to be a LOT of rage for the decision Like really, really, REALLY angry people who wear their baseball caps backwards and enjoy Jersey Shore are totally pissed at the decision


So those that got Transformers 2 the Razzie MotY '09, I salute you for doing on one fell swoop what I wish I could do. Good job!

Well, if you're a fan of "Jersey Shore," clearly you don't have good taste in entertainment. And I salute you for agreeing that "Trannies 2" was the right decision.

I've always felt that people who get upset about what comes out of our tidy little corner of the universe here probably need a hobby...at least.

Yeah, I mean we're what 650 to 700 people? The Oscars are 6,000 strong. We're just a humble little group of movie lovers who like to poke fun at Hollywood's short-comings.

And as time goes on more people seem to take notice....of course it's not the people who make the slop in the 1st place that get our beloved gold statuets...but the absurdly devoted fans that defend them no matter what they do (For the Stallone Fan Based Fans we salute you!)Clap.

Oh yes, that is a whole other level of mindless, devoted loyality right there.

Do I agree with the Razzie noms this got? 

"Actress": Not sure.In the first movie, Megan Fox didn't do much. But nobody could with an under-developed character like that. This time,she got used more than she should've. With the exception of one particular scene, I didn't see much acting.  

"Supporting Actress": Agreed. At one point Julie White's character gets high, but I see her acting the same way that in other scenes. 

"Couple": Disagree.Fox and Shia LeBeouf do have chemistry, and so does he with BUMBLEBEE.

"Screenplay": Disagree. There were like 2 boring scenes, and I felt that the plot was being made-up as they went along. Also I saw the plot holes. But even though it's a bad script, it's not awful. 

*"Director": Agreed! Many decades ago, having great effects was something so cool. Fans don't understand why that doesn't continue. If I had to explain to them, I'd use this as an example. Michael Bay provides us so much movement and noise that we can't understand what's going on. 

**"Remake Or Sequel": Agreed. The first movie got lucky,and this one not only takes advantage of that, while giving the first one a bad name. 

"Picture": Disagreed. Having all those things in mind,the movie is bad. But it's not the worst of the year.

I'd give it 4/10. 


*Deserved to win.
**Should've won.

Okay, the fact this movie won Worst Picture is being debated again, so here I go:  

1. Screenplay: If you can spot the plot holes, it's a flawed script. Plus, like I said before, this script seemed like it was thrown together overnight by a bunch of 12 year olds. It was rushed into production due to the writers' strike, and it painfully shows. It rightfully deserved Worst Screenplay.  

2. As for the other Worst Pictures. "All About Steve", as cvcjr points out, Sandra Bullock gets full blame for this one. It was indeed unfunny and she should have known better, but even though it was bad, it wasn't as soulless as "Transformers 2" was. "Old Dogs", the only reason why this movie got a nod was because of John "Battlefield Earth" Travolting and Robin "Losing My Funniness" Williams, not enough of an excuse to win. "Land Of The Lost", Will Ferrell being annoying, yes, a bad movie, however, it bombed at the box office while "Transformers 2" made nearly $1 billion! And lastly "GI Joe", the only other movie worthy besides "Transformers 2". Bad acting, stupid story, 32 bit video game like CGI. But "Transformers 2" was made by Michael Bay, who was long overdue for a Razzing, and got what was coming to him. 

So out of the five choices, "Transformers 2" was the most deserving to win due to all it's HUGE problems with the script, the fact it made so much money, and because it's was Bay's turn to be Razzed. That is why it won, whether you like it or not.

I didn't say I didn't like that it won. Yes,I saw at least 10 worse movies in '09, but this is still a bad movie. And,once again, if there's a movie Michael Bay deserves a Razzie for, it is this one.
