@annalee: I hate that Transformers was/is even classified as a scifi movie. Apart from the awesome CGI, the rest of it was as you said, disappointing.

Uh, I think I'm getting gassed tonite--can you have Bay call me? (quickly please)

I enjoyed the film immensely. I think it is Bay's best. A breakthrough for the young and ripe Shia LeBeouf. Megan Fox is bound for great things.

Optimus and the boys hanging outside the suburban exterior was like

@charliejane: You can't wait? You've gotta be kidding. Transformers was possibly the worst science fiction movie last year. Except for the peeing robot, which was genius.

@EncephelanetRepairHelperGuy: Status on Transformers 2: supposedly delayed, but Michael Bay has been making some very frothy comments about how it'll have the bestest awesomest robots evar! Personally I can't wait.

Thank you to io9, for a great week and a great launch.

And thank you to all the already-regular commenters and the excellent editors who have re-assured me that my love for and memories of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, retro-futurism, doingthedirty with four-armed hermaphroditic lizard people, Planetfall, and yes, even the Cat from Outer Space do not make me too suspect, even in a community of Sci-Fi geeks. (Not Moonraker though. You'd have to be crazy to like Moonraker.)

But damn you io9 for providing one more must-read bookmark, decreasing my already questionable productivity.

@raychie: Fixed! Yeah the spellchecker doesn't have The Hoff in it for some reason.
