Movie Rant (Rovie)

So, I meant to do this a little while ago, but never got to do it. I want to rant about movies I have seen. I'll call it a movie rant, or 'rovie' for short. ( When you pronounce it, think Scooby Doo. Love that Great Dane)
Anywho, since I recently re-watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I decided to critque that. So here goes.

First off, ( and this gets me every time) when Josh Duhamel who plays Major Lennox is watching his comrades' coffin being  carried into the plane, he turns abrubtly to watch a Black Hawk Helicopter fly over the base. I am not even in the military, and I know this basic fact- You DO NOT turn your back on your comrades or dishonor them in ANYWAY when they are being CARRIED OFF IN A COFFIN!!!! Let me say that again...YOU JUST DON'T DO IT!! I know it is for dramatic effect, but you Do. Not. Do. That. It is a breach of etiqute of enourmous magnitude.

Second, Jetfire. He's cool, as a Blackbird, and even cooler as an old guy. However, the old guy is played over way too much. It was funny, then it became dragging. More dragging, and you got tired of the guy. Then he redeemed himself....Then got killed. My Advice is less crochety old man, more of the 'retired commando' vibe. Would've made it so much better.

Okay, the ending of the movie. I'm not the first to comment on this, but the ending fight....kinda sucked. The heart crushing manuever was really cool, and the fight, neat, but seriously? Devastator was made up of 7, count'em, 7 robots. And he gets deystroyed with a single shot. Granted, a rail gun shot, but ONE SHOT. And the doomsday device? If all it takes is a flying semi truck shooting two shots into it to destroy it, it is not a doomsday weapon I respect. On the flying semi truck note- Optimus Jet Fire was cool , and Jetfire was really noble to give his parts, but what would Optimus transform into?  A Stealthy  Semi Truck, or a Semi Truck that Could Fly? Mmm, real creative, Hasbro.

Fourth, I am ninety five percent sure that the Decepticons must have a magical reincarnation decive. I saw some Decepticons that were DEFINETELY destroyed in the first movie- one even in a five minute battle scene with Optimus Prime. Yet there they were, trundling into battle. Mabye they could hook Optimus up to that device, instead of a sissy sand-key.

Speaking of the sand-key, how did it stay in the sock for that entire time? At least some of it must've leaked out.

Also, if the cold ocean was specifically chosen to inhibit Megatron, shouldn't the other Decepticons shut down approaching the depth and the cold?

Finally, and this note is more about the Tranformers in general, why don't the Autobots have more kick-ass alternative modes? I mean, the Decepticons have tanks, F-22's and things that don't have a name. But they have spikes and guns out the wazoo. I get the fact that Autobots are all peacy-lovey types, and they don't fight unless drawn into it. ( And Rachet's new off road rescue vehicle is pretty sweet.) But can't you keep the peace AND kick ass at the same time? I mean, the dispariety between the coolness factor of the Decepticons and the Autobots is huge. I mean, helicopters can be life saving. So can tracked vehicles .That's all I am saying in regard to the coolness factor.

That's all I have to say (for now) on the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

School.

So yeah, like many other peole across the nation, I am now back in school. Whoop De Doo. Like any school day, it had it's ups and downs. I cannot take Spanish IV becasue of irreproachable scheduling conflicts,(it's always band....always.) and re-entry just was difficult. On the plus side, most of my classes are pretty cool, and the teachers seem nice, especially the principal and my history teacher. Not looking forward really to algebra tommorrow and more heat and humidity. Oh, and the simple fact tht I have band and haven't touched my trumpet for a year. Ah, can't complain though. Got my shades to keep cool and look cool doing it, a freshly oiled trumpet for tommorrow, and I got a pocket watch. Seriously, you can't go wrong with a pocket watch.

First Inagural Blog Post!!!

Okay, so the blog wasn't actually registered, so the deep ,poignant blog post that I wrote isn't anywhere to be found. So to recap: I got this idea from Dave Bray(or Brave Day if you want to think about it like that) and Luke Coughlin. Figured all the stuff bouncing around my head that couldn't fit on a facebook status update would go here. I'll try to update it 2-3 times a week, mabye more, mabye less.  So yeah....Can't rembember much what I wrote specifically-

I hate having ADHD, especially right now
I don't want to go back to school. I know everyone is saying that now, but I really don't. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind school itself. the teachers are great, the buildings nice, some of the students are pretty neat. Then others ruin it all, so I am of mixed feelings. Oh yeah, I will try not to use names in this blog.
I miss camp. Like, A lot. It was my second home, and I really miss my friends there, the noise, the laughter, yeah. Stuff like that. Camp is the only place I can be myself with out people giving me wierd stares. (okay, more than a few wierd stares at any given time)

So yeah, I will try and write more fluff soon.

Fun fact of the day: The guy who played Chancellor Adam Sutherland in V for Vendetta (one of my favorite movies by the way) also played Winston Smith, the downtrodden protagonist in 1984 another film about totalitarinism goverment. Nifty bit of coincidence, hmm?
