Movie reviews

So... we (Bruce and Bruce2 and I, with Sphynx dragged along for Transformers) went to the movies this weekend. Twice! We decided to go see both of the movies that are apparently competing hard for "Worst movie of the summer". I was going to review them, but then Bruce pointed out that ToplessRobot already has, and much better than I probably would have. So here you go:

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

We did go see Transformers at the Imaxx, so the robots were huge, which was fun. Lots of explosions, but not nearly enough nudity and the plot was laughably holey.

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Well. The dialogue was iffy, there was a total disregard for physics, Duke was not the leader?!?, and it was totally ridiculous. Oddly like watching an 80's cartoon, so I guess it was less bad than Transformers.

Damn, I'm glad I can enjoy bad movies. :)

Stupid people do stupid things

So there's this bloke, you see, who's running for Mayor of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He wants to be in charge, you see, because he believes he should be. No, nix that. He believes he already is, that he is above and immune to the laws that bind the rest of us puny "14th Amendment" citizens.
