This One Looks Seriously SCROOGED...

Sadly, as long as they keep putting Jessica Alba's sexy @$$ in movies to draw in the dudes, they're gonna put Matt's mentally challenged one in for the ladies.

It may get Worst of the Weak, but I can guarantee that I will be there opening day. I grew up on the transformers, and there is a soft spot in my heart for those giant robots...

I, too, have a soft spot for giant fighting robots. However, I would have enjoyed the first movie more if the Transformers actually looked anything like what they did in the old cartoon series (because I had no clue who or what I was looking at), and if 90% of the movie wasn't wasted on bad, campy humor, and if Shia Lebeouf didn't spend most of his screen time yelling "No, no, no, no, no, no!", and if the camera wasn't zooming in constantly on Megan Fox's bare tummy. No, wait, I liked that last part! But everything else killed the movie for me.

Dazed and Confused was also the beginning of the career of Ben Affleck. In that movie, he was that one bully who would take a paddle and smack the freshman's @$$ (or whatever). That scene was spoofed in a Family Guy episode.

Originally posted by dEd Grimley Family Guy suggested that the high point of Matthew McConaughey's career was Dazed and Confused. Wasn't he the guy who said, "I love high school girls. I keep getting older, and they keep stayin the same age." That's a point of pride. I hope that's on his tombstone.

The fact that they looked nothing like the old cartoons didn't bother me much at all, the old designs would have looked really out of place in the real world. And honestly, I think the majority of the humor in the cartoon was of the bad/campy variety. Shia Lebafoon, is definitely a detriment to the film. Honestly though, I think the biggest complaint I had with the film, was that it was like 90% people, 10% Giant Robots... There wasn't enough "Transformers" to really earn the Transformers name.

So far, I'd rate all of Mark Waters' films above average (8/10, 9/10, 10/10). So I was surprised...

I meant as in someone who you looked up to and admired...until the child molester thing.

Perhaps a better profession to mention would have been teacher, or doctor, then
