Quote of the Day

Here's a quote I saw in reference to the ongoing Transformers movie fanboy bitchfest. It made me laugh and I had to share.

"G1 fanatics are as scary as snake handling Baptists, Star Trek fans and fanatical muslim extremists."

Yes we are. :)

Have you seen the new robots yet? At least, the toy images that have been shown?

I don't make complaints about something without backing it up. Yes, I've seen the images and read many articles regarding the new robots with the same names. ;)

I suppose a better question would be: Are you willing to accept that the Transformers upcoming movie is not going to look the same as they did in G1, or are you going to complain, kick and scream that they aren't?

I'm lucky that I'm enough of a fan to be happy they are doing a live action / CG version but not enough of a fan that I care much what they do so long as its big and cool looking and doesn't suck too badly.

Transformers are pretty corny and far fetched to begin with, but they are mgihty cool. I was more into them as a teen than as a kid. We used the stats that came on the boxes to make a strategy game using the toys as figures. It was quite fun making rules for all their powers and such.

The moment you leave cartoon land you have to pay some homage to physics and that is the moment many of the transformers stop making any kind of sense.

I still have an original Grimlock, and a modern 10 form Megatron, which has got to be one of the coolest ones I've seen. Actualy I've got all my transformers here at work doing battle on my desk.
