Atmikeoquinn's game last time, I realized something very important. Of my friends, I am in the minority. I didn't really play with Transformers

One can only hope. I hope it's good, but I still do not plan to go see it. I hear, however, that you and yours might go see it more than once over the next week.
I do not plan to see the movie. I won't even see it on a matinee. I might watch it if it comes on cable. Maybe. If there's absolutely nothing else on, and I've got nothing else better to do with those two hours. Though the odds are very good that I'll get bored quickly and go do something more fun and interesting. Like scrubbing out the grout in the bathroom tile with a toothbrush...
It's a good thing I was not at your game. Because I won't make any apologies for that opinion. And I wouldn't appreciate being threatened for it.
I'm almost 40 years old... those toys came out when I was a junior in high school. So I managed to go to junior college, university, and join the army in the time that they were popular. I could NOT care less about seeing this movie. I think Joe was hurt that I didn't want to go see it on the 3rd. I couldn't comprehend why on Earth he would think that I would want to! I think he's going with his best friend.
I *might* put it on my Netflix queue if Troy & Joe want to watch it when it comes out on DVD. I won't be paying that much attention when they play it, though. There are always more important things going on, like dishes & patching nailholes in the drywall. Maybe your wife needs help with the grout? ;-)
My little brother & I totally played with transformers, and I am *so* going to see this movie. Both for the nostalgia value, and because it looks like the first fandom flick in a while that might possibly not suck and tarnish a childhood memory forever. Then again, I might be an anomaly in my own demographic (21-30 female) because I played with a lot of little boy toys, being that my little brother was one of the only kids I had around to play with most of the time. So I have just as fond memories of G.I. Joe and Legos and Transformers as I do of Barbie and Care Bears and My Little Pony.
I think my mom still has our transfomers packed away in the attic at home somewhere...we bought a whole stash at a garage sale one time, that's how we ended up with them. I always had the Decepticons because they used a lot of purple, and that was my favorite color, and because that let my little brother be the Autobots (the "good guys") which I felt was my duty as a big sister to encourage. *lol* But really, Legos were more of our main thing.
I feel your pain. I never played with Transformers either. Well not plural and that is the rub. I had one (Granted the best, the evil right hand man that became a tape deck)not more than one. And as the only other vaguely sentient being around to play with was my sister, I couldn't mooch off of others. So I played a
That said, I loved the cartoon. I am kind of 'eh' about the movie. It will be LOUD and filmed in shaky vision and we will see if it is any good. But I won't be there first day.
