Yesterday, a friend of mine and I were discussing about the movie. She said something very funny...

"I will never bad-mouth my car again." I asked why and she said, "It might be a Transformer". We burst into laughter.

LOL! My friends and I walked out of the theater, looking at the nearby semi-trucks and other vehicles in a whole new light. We pulled up at a truck stop to get some gas, and we were being smart asses to one trucker. He had a big Peterbuilt, and I called out (how's Optimus Prime handling today?) He just looked at us with this bewildered expression!

Ok, I loved this movie. As a fan from the original series (and proud owner of the original toys, still!) I adored it. I forgot how much I liked the Transformers.

Many great parts, so much to talk about, heh.

But one thing that I was thinking about during the movie... Was how interesting it was that both Transformers and TMNT stemmed from 80's shows and comics, and how different the movies were. Why is it that TMNT has to be kiddified in a horrible way when it was more adult in the first place? And Transformers is just allowed to, well, RULE? (Making a topic about this in the TMNT Movie section, so take comments there, lol).

Interview with Mark Ryan (Bumblebee in the new movie) in which he talks about the DVD of the new movie. The DVD apperantly has new footage that sets things up for the next Transformers movie!

I thought the footage during the credits kinda set up the sequel already?

Starscream flying away into space.

I just saw this film and i must say it was awesome. It had everything you would want in a summer blockbuster: Action, comedy, just the right amount of human drama, and of coarse pretty girls. It also had many quotes and references for us TF fans.
I must say my favorite transformer was Baricade simply because
Spoiler:
The police car he transformed into said Decepticon police "To punish and enslave" which to me is cooler by far than "to serve and protect". This also seems to be a human comentary on how people dont pay enough attention to their suroundings

I loved this movie, this movie and TMNT are the top two i want to get on DVD! Starscream's my fave!
Remember:
Spoiler:
the time when they were in the city and star scream came in, the entire group of autobots fled when one (i think it was jazz) screamed: OH CRUD, STARSCREAM!! It shows he's not to be messed with, even when the military attacked him in the air, he transformed back and forth taking down the entire jet fleet single-handedly. I heard there were 3 contracts signed.

literally minutes after i left the theatre, i ran around looking into cars for autobot symbol, i swear i would p*ss myself and run for the hills if i saw Decepticon, even though i like them better (no offense, Optimus) I wouldn't wanna be around them. The fights in the movie were well put together.

to punish and enslave. I actually thought that this scene was some tongue and cheek humor towards Terminator 2, cause there is a scene in that movie that has the T-1000 drive up in a police cruiser, and the camera pans in on the serve and protect. There was a time when Steven Spielberg and James Cameron were really good friends, and had a tendency of using little gimicks like that towards eachother's movies.

You probably have guessed...I loved this movie. I forgotten how much I loved the original series when I was a kid. I used to have some of the toys but I do not know what happened to them. The 80s are haunting me and bringing the child out in me.

sorry about the double post but..

I found this on ebay...

A vintage sports car featured in movie blockbuster Transformers is being auctioned online to raise funds to house families of wounded or unwell U.S. armed forces.

Bidding on the fully functional 1977 Chevy Camaro, known as Bumblebee in the Michael Bay movie, currently stands at $30,000 on eBay.

All proceeds from the sale, which ends on July 18, will go towards the Fisher House Foundation charity, whose motto is "Helping military families."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200126643267

The car still has the logo on the steering wheel.

At my local PepBoys, they are selling Transformer stuff to put on you car, including the symbols on the steering wheel, both the Autobots and Decepticons.

I'm seeing the movie this weekend maybe, previews are this weekend, it comes out next weekend.

I'm watching the making of it on youtube. When the guys beying the car theres a yellow VW beetle parked next to BumbleBee. Thought it was a cool wee thing.

A wee bit gutted though that bb isn't a VW in the movie, I love those cars. Especially bright yellow ones. But movies these days are all about fast cars and stuff.

Weezer's album 5 demo would have been perfect for the soundtrack if only there was a 'Yellow Camaro' TF.

VW Won't let them use their cars for things like this. That's why Bumblebee is pretty much never a VW at all anymore. Just similar cars. (Except the camaro, obviously :p )

Oh dude, bummer. I actually recall that someone said VW dont use the cars in anything to do with war. Could that be because VW's were Hiters idea?

I still want one a yellow though. They're such pretty cars. All curves and so cheery looking.

And yes, I wanted one before I knew about TF.

I found out about this from another forum that I belong to...read on.

The Transformers DVD...when does it come out you ask. What's it gonna have? What I can tell you is this: there will be 2 versions:

1- A regular version with no extras (just a director commentary).

2.- A multi-disc version with the movie w/ director's commentary and additional disc(s) with tons of extra stuff.

Transformers will also be available on HD-DVD and Blu-ray formats.

>>Just to give heads up to everyone if you are interested.

When is the movie expected to come out? I'd figure we'd see it for sale around December.
