]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5284703&view=rss&microfeed=true Michael Bay's preferred method of watching robot fights is IMAX, all the way. Why? Because he added special scenes to his Transformers movie just for the ginormous screen. "I created a slightly longer cut with more robot fighting." Bay told fans on his message boards. "Four scenes were shot on IMAX cameras, so the screen will fill the full IMAX screen for these scenes." For those of you who are already completely confused by the transforming bits on each Bay Bot, the IMAX screening should ensure that your mind snaps completely. Still, could be cool to see Optimus Prime in his full glory before an on screen explosion causes you to slip into a coma. [Shoot For The Edit] More »

New York Magazine cornered Shia's camera mom, Julie White about Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and asked her which 'bots made the final cut. Her adorable response: "No. I don't know anything about a Transformer. I call them all Megadad. But the big one is called, like, Mega-mega-megger-megalomania. But I always just called him Megatron, which made Michael Bay very mad, because his name is something else [probably Devastator]... So no. I'm just, I'm still not up on my Transformers." Aaaaah, that's so cute. I love her so much and she makes me miss my mom. Thank you, Ms. White, for putting a little mom into the set and a particularly big thanks for driving Bay crazy. He deserves it. [New York Magazine via Transformers Live] More »
