| Snapetimus killed Dumbletron!

Yeah, just saw it today too! I liked it! Wasn't expecting much, and I was entertained. I dunno, I've seen a LOT worse acting in shit, so didn't really rub me the wrong way. Product placement shit? Hmm... gets on my nerves, but I just tried to block it out. Don't think I'd wanna see it again for a LONG time - was just so busy and overstimulating. But now talkin to some friends about it, I think i'll see it again someday. And the fuckin transformers were BAD ASS. When they were fighting through the city and changing etc, fuckin coooool.

I liked how even tho it was PG-13, it seemed to push that limit a few times. Like the classic PG 80's movies like Ghostbusters and Goonies etc... it's not like those movies, but it felt adult enough for me considering its based on toys. And i liked Bernie Macs part and John Turturo is just fuckin funny as shit.

OH MAN, you see the trailer for the next Cohen Bros movie? Looks cool... like fargo-ish. Dark, not like the last couple stinkers they made. Trailer!!!

So I went and saw Transformers today. Not bad, not bad, I guess.. but a bit disappointing, yeah. The effects were amazing and the CG was top notch (all done by industrial light & magic, as I understand it). The plot and acting, however... holy sweet baby Jesus.. so bad, corny and hokey. Even with that bad script, I would have given it an A- or B+ still, except for the last expected 'epic' battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron was.. well.. just not there. All this huge build up and then ... no payoff. Kinda strange.

Anyway. Probably worth seeing in the theater, just go with limited expectations.

AND.. last night, took the wifey to see "Knocked Up", done by the same folks who did 40 Year Old Virgin, I guess. We laughed the entire time.. it was very, very funny. Not exactly a pinnacle achievement in film making history, no. But there is definitely no shortage of laughs. Good times.

I can't believe I used to eat this crap

Tonight I was possessed by a bizarre urge to eat a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. So I did. It was the first one I've had in, like, seven years. My throat and stomach feel like I hosed them down with grease!

Still had that decent cheese-and-ketchup taste that I used to love, tho. I'd hit it again.

I love paying for other peoples' fuckups with my worthless time

The day before holidays, my company lets out between 12:00-1:00 PM. Funnily enough that often doesn't work out for my department. Instead, I'm sitting here on my ass while the fuckups in software try to get a build together.

Gee, it's awfully nice that their group decided to start doing overtime, considering that the product is shipping in, oh, a week and a half. Especially since my department has been doing a shitload of it, mostly to test their builds which, because they throw them together at the end of the day and then scramble outta here to relax on their fucking software yachts or whatever, usually, no always, completely suck ass.
