I realized I've posted a lot of paranoia lately. We're really doing very well and I'm adjusting to not being in control of my body anymore (every function from eating to sex to emotional health seem to be at the mercy of whatever phase of development has gripped the alien). But we're happy & healthy & enjoying our new apartment. I have a million photos that desperately need to be uploaded off our cameras....that little to-do item just never seems to make it to the top of the priority list.
So, in place of paranoia, I bring you a short review of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. We saw the movie last night at our local theater (within walking distance!).
Movie: Enjoyable.
Plot: Second verse, same as the first (but I thought it improved upon itself. Dave disagreed.)
Action: I love watching those giant Transformers do their transforming thing. However, they really need to upgrade weapons for more desert-appropriate warfare. They couldn't hit a thing in the sand.
Acting: What?! Where?! haha - mostly kidding. Shia LeBeouf (spelling?) gave a lovely final performance before his personal self-destruct ruins an otherwise promising action movie career. And Megan Fox will always have the porn industry.
Soapbox: So...the boy goes to an Ivy League university and the girl gets tighter jeans? *sigh* Once again, I realize that all feminism got us was the ability to act proud about being a dumb stereotype.
Summary: Overall good fun. I'd read many a negative posting about the movie before I went to see it, but I didn't find them justified at all. I think they were mainly written by people who get joy out of acting like anything popular sucks. But we had a good time and it was a nice break from unpacking boxes!
