More Than Meets the Eye

Here are some of my favorite pull-quotes from the Transformers reviews I’ve seen thus far:

  • The only thing that matters is giant freaking robots. — Patrick Lee, SCI FI Weekly
  • Chikachikachika! Now I’m a dump truck! VROOM! — Jeremy Tolbert, blog
  • AHHH! AAAAH!!! ROBOTS, OMG ROBOTS and they’re FIGHTING and they’re all like, PIT-OO, PIT-OO, PIT-OO — and I’m all LIKE YEAH, THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT, and then did you see that one over there — did you see WHAT HE JUST DID and HOLY SHIT THAT’S OPTIMUS PRIME THAT’S OPTIMUS PRIME LOOKIE HE’S GOT BIG OL’ SWORD AND IT’S ORANGE AND ALL KILLY AND STUFF, and that guy who HE’S BEATING LIKE A LITTLE TIN DRUM is MEGATRON and I think that now I can DIE OF AWESOME POISONING because that was more awesome than a whole SWIMMING POOL THAT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH AWESOME, and then someone shoves A PAIR OF GIANT DUELING ALIEN ROBOTS INTO THE SWIMMING POOL, and there’s a UNICORN STANDING IN THE BACKGROUND, GRANTING WISHES and SHITTING DIAMONDS. — Cherie Priest, LiveJournal

You know, I usually resist going to see big summer blockbuster movies in the theater. I usually end up seeing them eventually, though often grudgingly and often don’t see them all the way through. But this…I don’t think I can resist this. Dude! Chikachikachika!
