The Intergalactic Highway

I was talking with Storm Dracona tonight and she informed me of a couple leaks. So I decided for those who wanted it, I'd start a thread for leaks and odd bits of information.

Now, for Bayhaters, I'm cool with you guys. Frankly, the only continuous cast member that I like is Shia, because that kid knows how to act and throws himself into his role. Personally, the only reason why I watch the movies is because the cars are sleek, inspiring, and visually pleasing ... and I don't have to think because the plot is ... threadbare. And sometimes, a terrible movie is great to watch because of a few things, in my case:

Hot men.
Hot cars.
Action.
Comedy.

Not all of them apply to Transformers in my opinion. But anyway!

Two cars that are "not the twins":

Some action being filmed, and yes, I ID'ed Bay's voice, and he's walking along the fence line before the car is thrown.

But I have the feeling that unless Bay has smartened up, this movie is still going to be terrible.

I'm really excited about this movie.

Michael Bay seems to be saying that this third installment will be more character driven, which I was looking for in Transformers 2 (and found a bit lacking. I did like both movies, but still...).

Keeping in mind, the last time a leak got out before TF2, we all thought we'd be seeing Simmon's funeral and an ex girlfriend of Sam's dropping by; the only thing I recall being accurate about it was a) the post-secondary setting and b) Leo's name and description of roommate. Out of the two leaks, I'm slightly more inclined to trust the youtube vid.

Yeah, I was also under the impression that #2 was going to be more story/character driven. It had twice the action and half the emotional appeal than the first one lol.

Another reason I suppose I won't be seeing it. I'll be waiting to see what some of my personal fav critics will say about it. Is there a release date set?

Though I will admit I 'lold' at Shia being a good actor. He plays the same role in every other movie (I watched this weird one in the city about murderer next door or something, based off an old campfire story) and he played the same character.

Screaming, stuttering and non-acting, XD He shoulda followed his parents and became a clown.

Well, LV, compare him to the other "actors" in the movie before you say that he's a crap actor. I'm talking about in the TF movieverse in regards to his acting skills. That's my stand on that. Also, no need to be so confrontational about a movie or an actor. It's all for entertainment anyway, right? Besides. Clowns are actors, and having been to circuses all my life, I can see how a clown has far more work set out for them over a silver screen actor.

Frankly, I figured that if I set the leaks up for discussion, then we'd just have fun tearing into the travesty that is the Movieverse until we come across something that isn't quite so laughable and might actually be something of worth, like that YouTube vid. Still. Leaks are leaks and they're fun. That's the point of this. To have some non-confrontational fun. If you hate the movies, well, they're not the best anyway, so ... whatever. Just don't bash someone else's opinions over the head with a cinderblock just because you don't like either the opinion or the person expressing it. I'm pretty sure that respecting people is part of the way we've been doing things around here for years, yes? So please, from here on out, and this applies to everyone, be respectful and kind, even if you don't agree with their stance.

BTW, Nurann, I would have almost liked Simmon's funeral in comparison to the man-thong. >.< no thank you.

Did I say I was being disrespectful Sinead?

You are the one coming off as abrasive. I am stating my own opinion, as you did yours.

No need to agree with my opinion, just as I had no need to agree with yours. We stated our pieces and then went about our business.

I have kept a civil tongue, so please stop trying to make me seem callous. You must remember that we are on the internet, and as such tone arguments can become a deteriorating factor in a discussion because neither party is aware of what was being said and it can come off sounding one way, when it wasn't meant to be.



As a side note, I don't go to circus's because I am against the animals the majority of them have in it. If you have gone to ones without animals, that's wonderful and I'm glad.

Even if the the third movie will be nothing but crap, i'm going to be a loyal TF fan and see it any way.

I'm still planning to go see it, hopefully it well be good. Perhaps more BW references in it would be nice!

I'll go, too. This time I'll probably wait a couple days for reviews to come out instead of attending and fighting to stay awake at the midnight premier.

Ah yes, the Internet, the place of great Misunderstandings.

The great thing about tone is that it's highly variable. I knew a guy once who could extract innuendo from just about anything you could write. I knew another who was viciously sarcastic at every turn. He could be saying the most pleasant things possible but if you read what he said with sarcasm as the tone... ooh... you'd need a hospital to treat them burns.

But then I met a Moderator that called himself Tantalus. He was a true master. He was able to be sarcastic without seeming that way by carefully wording every post, every sentence, every single line.

One of his more famous posts could be read as him being jocularly sarcastic, hiding a serious note, veiled behind vicious sarcasm disguising the kernel of a stern moderator warning.

Sorry about going on that tangent but you triggered off a few neurons that demanded I type this out. Damned neurons. I should head off sometime and kill them with alcohol. Mmmm... alocohol...

Mmmm... alocohol...

*laughs* You sure you already haven't chugged back a bit there? But yes, I could so go with a beer right about now myself!

Again, the potential for character in the movie?

Here's hoping that the Autobots will have more character development as well. That's something that I missed about the second movie. You really didn't get to "know" the 'bots that much, and they didn't appeal on an emotional level in the same way that they had in the first movie.

It's good to know that at least a couple of the actors are happy with how things are going ... Megan Fox is happy that she's going to be less orange (tanned). Yeah. That's what she said. Sorry for anyone who might like her, but ... shallow, much?

Here's an article with more (and very interesting) details at the bottom:
