@OW-Holmes:Enemy of R.O.A.C.H.: Best sermons ever. Behind every pew is a blast shield and hand grenades. Choir ladies sing in skimpy clothing. Bay himself rappels down from a hole in the ceiling while the helicopter explodes.

There IS a religious aspect in here somewhere, right?

Are we still allowed to preemptively bitch about the Airbender/Shamalyn thing?

I value my time here and don't want bannination, but I think special exceptions must be made.

@CaptainYoshi: As opposed to ordinary exceptions, Yoshi? Get an editor. And pick up some wine coolers and M&M trail mix while you're out.

@CaptainYoshi: Gundamnit, how many schizos are we getting on io9 these days?

Bitching about things is what we're all about! As long as it's rational.

@CaptainYoshi: Say what you will, I'm way too old to have gotten into that cartoon. Though, I get the whole non asian kid complaint and that M has a shit track record at this point but I'll admit it, that trailer looked pretty badass in the theater. I hadn't noticed online that when they pulled away to the wide shot of the island that there were all these dudes climbing ropes to the top of the cliff.

But sure bitch away, but bitch... constructively.

@CaptainYoshi: Only if you don't confuse the rest of us and bitch in an article that doesn't mention it directly.

Also, you seem to care too much about grammar to be banished to AICN. :)

Good to see ROACH MOTEL's are still setting up new franchises.

Mind you, seeing as Umbrella Corp. appears to be involved, I'll take the stairs.

Transformers 2 made sweet, sweet love to my childhood and then even took it out for breakfast and paid and then called back a couple days later to ask for another date.

I'm totally gonna say yes.

Oh shit, that restaurant is right here in San Jose? Well, my rocket's about to take off!

Actually, not at all. I barely know any Star Trek references.

So wait, basically we aren't allowed to use the term "assfucking my childhood" anymore? I'm cool with that. Take off your rose-tinted glasses, people!

@crashedpc: We're also required to be more open to reboots and remakes generally.

Remember, for the entire age of the play/musical/opera/orchestral performance/ballet, half the fun was just seeing how the same story could be told in someone else's hands.

(Oh, I just made that second requirement up just now? Oh well.)

@92BuickLeSabre: It's not the YARM that I care much about, it's the botching up of the execution that I'm worried about. I'd rather encourage quality remakes than a quick cash-in.

@crashedpc: See Dr Emilio Lizardo.

Quick cash over quality is not a YARM problem.

It's an everything problem.

@92BuickLeSabre: @Dr Emilio Lizardo: Is there any way we can make Hollywood go through a mandatory Siddhartha indoctrination and have them not focus on the bottom dollar? No? Ok, how about a shotgun indoctrination?
