It's Personal...

I watched TF:DotM last night, and I was not only offended as a fan, but as a human being, too.

I gained an innumerable, inmmutable hatred towards any and all things related towards Michael Bay. If I ever meet him on the street, I will call down the wrath of a thousand angry, pulsating Sumerian testicle gods upon his retarded, boyish face.

Seriously, the guy can't even behave like a proper human being, let alone make a good movie.

I haven't seen a single Transformers movie since the first one.

And I'm happy about this.

There was only one Transformers Movie.
And that one is from the 80's.

Okay, good point.

I've only seen one film with Transformers in the title, by Michael Bay.

By the way, the 80's one traumatized me because, HOLY SHIT THEY'RE DYING THIS TIME.

Yep, that was a surprisingly bad slaughterfest in the main cast . .
And i don't think i know a single nerd who did not weep manly tears when Prime became one.

This is the correct answer.

Anyone else ever feel angry for no good reason? I have been having fits like that lately.

With me, it's typically due to lack of sleep or food

There is something to be said for small children cheering the death of Starscream.

@Darth Rabbit
I know why i like it around here . . all kinds of painfully honest with their opinion nerds with tastes i can understand partly . .

@Ted
Yeah, from time to time, usually followed by bouts of doubt and uncertainty . . probably due to sugar low and being tired too, in my case.

@K
He is, in my eyes, the completely unlikeable character in the whole series . .
I still wish they remade the old series in the old art style with similar voice-actors but actually play megatron like a smart military thinker and starscream like the scientist he is supposed to have been before the war <.<

You know, I haven't been sleeping as much as I should be, and also I haven't eaten much today.

And despite the fact I'm making a conscious decision to focus on other things (like getting my shit together after hitting a reboot on my entire life in hopes of trying again when I'm older and a bit more confident), the fact I haven't been with a lady for a little over a year might have something to do with it. My higher thought processes can tell the reptilian part of my brain that controls fucking that going about things in this way will work out better in the long run as much as it wants, but there's no reasoning with that asshole.

I liked the second half of Dark of the Moon.

The parts in the first half with Sam and his new girlfriend were, of course, horrible. I can't see why anyone though that was a good idea.

Yes, but very infrequently. It's more common that I'm really angry for small reasons (a lazy coworker sitting across me obviously browsing non-work-related stuff all day, a person talking loudly while on his mobile, people chewing with open mouth).

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed Oct 24, 2012 8:05 pm

That with the cellphone is actually completely normal . .
MOST people get agitated about that kind of stuff, because our brains don't like stuff not making sense . . so we hear 50% of the dialogue and our brain tries to make up the rest of it, which takes processing power away from stuff we would rather be doing for something we have no interest in whatsoever . .

One of the reasons why working in a callcenter is such a fucking nuisance . .

Personally, things I can almost hear and understand drive me up the wall, while I can completely tune out things I can actually understand and often do so accidentally.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:41 pm

Yep, completely normal . .

I read about a kid who ran out of the theater during the scene where Optimus Prime dies. When he got home, he locked himself in his room for a whole week, crying. The 80's were awesome.

Also, I can recite the entire film from memory, because I've seen the thing more times than is safely recommended by the Surgeon General. I dream the movie occasionally, I've seen it that much.

In (somewhat) related news, I found and downloaded all the classical music from the eight original Megaman games plus the the two new one's today.

For the past twelve or so hours, I've been making a playlist called "Megaman Robot Master Music Museum". It's a collection of all the robot masters "theme" music (I've always considered the Robot Master stage music to be their theme), listed in order of their DWN number, starting with Cut Man and ending with Solar Man. I also numbered all the songs according to the Robot Master's corrosponding DWN number in Windows Media Player. I even managed to squeeze in the easter egg music that you can hear in Shade Man's stage in MM7.

I'm playing the list right this moment. As of this typing, I'm on Needle Man.

Why have I done all this? 'Cause I can.

That movie was so hardcore-80s that they would drown out plot dialogue so you could hear the power-metal better.

@shrapnel:
of course i remember. Skyfire was pretty boss.
and yes, aside from technology, it pretty much all went downhill after the 80's . .

@codeGlaze
yeah, back then, they had their priorities straight!

This looks pretty cool... Is it similar to this? Either way, I'll have to check it out.

Stahlseele wrote:of course i remember. Skyfire was pretty boss.

By the way, did you know that Skyfire/Jetfire had a very convoluted legal history?

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:25 pm

Harmony Gold fucking stuff up again, right?

Shrapnel · Post by **Shrapnel** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 3:05 pm

Possibly. The most likely reason behind Jetfires/Skyfires murky legal issues is that the toy's mold was originally from Macross, a toyline that belonged to Bandai, one of Takara's competitors. Since the show and toyline were being produced by both Hasbro and Takara, and Takara didn't want to give their rivals free press, it's probable that the character was changed to they way it was so Hasbro could still sell the toy, and Takara could still air the show without giving Bandai free press.

Incidentally, did you know that "Fire in the Sky" was aired towards the end of the series in Japan for this reason? It was the 62nd episode aired in Japan. For comparison, in the US, the episode was the 7th aired.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:12 pm

It's the same bloody fucking stupid shit that made the unseen battlemechs into unseen battlemechs of battletech in the first place -.-

no, i had no idea about where it was in japan.
i like some anime, true that, but i don't care about differences like that in series i watch translated usually . .

only bigger stuff like the complete retooling of saber rider/Sei Juushi Bismarck registers to me at some point . .
