transformers 2: TV spots and new bot!

and i made a rhyme on the headline there. well, three tv spots to show just how awesome Transformers 2 is gonna be. more footage of robots. more explosions. more transforming. no bitchslapping optimus prime. maybe from the previous two trailers, he will only just be tossed around twice. well, i guess, thats a good record as any for a robotic leader.

"In Transformers lore, Sideways is a gleeful troublemaker, for whom chaos is its own reward. His every action misleads and deceives, be it for his own twisted amusement, or for whatever deeper agenda he may be working towards. In truth, this cunning and deadly warrior is an agent of the chaos-bringer, Unicron, and is charged with the task of appearing as both Autobot and Decepticon in order to cause confusion amongst both factions and prevent them from allying together against his planet-eating master.

In Revenge of the Fallen, Sideways will appear as an Audi R8. His role in the story is still not completely known, but the first trailer showed him being chased through a building wall by various Autobots, so the potential for some double-agent action is still out there. Have a look at his robot mode below, courtesy of Michael Bay."



i love quotation marks. it gives me so much reason to be lazy. but i just think that its time that theres the antihero robot. like the Dinobot from the Beast Wars series (the only transformers series i know and come to love.)

Transformers 2: the TRAILER!

the new (okay, 2-3 weeks old) trailer. its freaking awesome and features MEGATRON!!!

megan fox is hot as ever. and i hope the picture above made u pause the video at i dunno.. 0:28 seconds? HAH! got ya!

u can again see optimus prime and sam whitwicky get their ass handed to them. so awesome. looks to have much more complicated fight scenes. hopefully, more contrast between the autobots and decepticons.

ah! comic movies of the year are coming to an end. and we are left with few options. but this looks to be better than the first one. so shall just look forward to this now that terminator's a disappointment. ah well..

transformers 2: roster out

heres the confirmed Transformers 2 robot roster, from filmschoolrejects.

AUTOBOTS

* OPTIMUS PRIME: The Autobots’ leader - alternate form: Peterbilt truck.
* IRONHIDE: Weapons specialist - GMC Topkick.
* RATCHET: Medic - Hummer H2.
* BUMBLEBEE: Friend and mode of transportation for Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) - 2010 Chevorlet Camaro.
* ARCEE: A female Autobot - Megan Fox’s hot-pink motorcycle.
* JETFIRE: As in the original, this fighter plane crash-landed on Earth a long time ago, and he will become a reformed Decepticon now fighting for the humans. His alternate form is the SR-71 Blackbird, the outdated but still-sleek Cold War spy plane.
* JOLT: the original toy was a Decepticon, but in the movie he’s a good guy - Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid.
* SKID & MUDFLAP: a.k.a. “The Twins” - Chevrolet Beat and Trax concept cars.
* SIDESWIPE: A candy-apple red Lamborghini in the original, joins the cast this time as General Motor’s silver Corvette Stingray concept car.

* STARSCREAM: Formerly Megatron’s second in command, he escaped at the end of the first movie; F-22 Raptor jet.
* SCORPONOK: The mechanical scorpion that attacked the American troops in the desert.
* THE FALLEN: an ancient robot, sort of the Transformers’ version of Lucifer. He’s one of the original robot aliens, and his defiance and arrogance led to his banishment into another dimension. The screenwriters say that The Fallen holds the key to life on both Earth and Cybertron, the Transformers’ home planet.
* SIDEWAYS: The Audi R8 seen crashing through a building in the trailer.
* SOUNDWAVE: A cassette player in the original toys; his alternate mode will fly. According to the screenwriters, this evil communications officer will appear as a orbiting space satellite.

* THE DOCTOR: A spider-like droid that transforms into various implements of torture and has a not-so-nice encounter with star Shia LaBeouf.
* WHEELIE: A small, radio-controlled truck.
* DEMOLISHER: One of the Constructicons that transform into construction vehicles.
* DEVASTATOR: A giant robot formed by the Constructicons joining together; individually, they are: Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Longhaul, Rampage, Overload and Mixmaster.

robots i m looking forward to:
arcee:

The Fallen

Soundwave for revenge of the fallen

Micheal Bay has finally decided to let Frank Welker in on his gig. Welker did the voice for good ol megatron in the 80's cartoon series and his voice, along with Peter Cullen's who did Optimus Prime, were immediately classics for the Transformers following. though Cullen got the role as prime in 07's Transformers, Hugo Weaving (V in V for vendetta, Agent Smith in the Matrix) did the voice for megatron and will continue to do so in revenge of the fallen.

however, Welker will be voicing Soundwave. though not that big a badass as megatron, Welker also did voice Soundwave back in the cartoon series. PLUS soundwave will be one of the cooler robots in T2 as he has a partner (raise eyebrows) in the form of Ravage, the one eyed black panther!


i love the transformers that have their own pets. i think its adorable! i have a cat too. pity it doesnt change to a missle.

movie review: watching the watchmen

i have hoped to start this blog of sorts sometime in the not so distant future, however, viewing the awesome spectacle known as Watchmen, i simply could not resist myself from spewing my comments all over the internet. 

first off, i shall blabber off about the movie: it was dialogue reliant, not to say that other films chit chat isnt important, the details was in the words, and if you didnt strain to really hear the words or have an arse sitting next to you, asking you if rorschach's superpower was to change his face, you would be lost at times. so just do wad i did and wave a pointed finger in the buggers face and lean forward to show that though you're being a dick for doing so, he's a bigger dick for talking in the cinema. 

speaking of dicks, this may be a spoiler of sorts. but if u actually bump into my site, you're prolly googling watchmen so u are expected to have already seen the movie. anyhu, Dr Manhattan was like super nudist. and the cropping of the film's camera made sure we were fully aware of his personal preference. and i was really expecting to see some Ts popping, especially with Akerman's big top reveal in the "heartbreak kid". but i was really disappointed when a mere silhouette was provided to satisfy the raging hormones of the average fanboy. 

circled for emphasis

seeing as to how you can get more reliable movie opinions from sites such as rottentomatoes, or bla, i m just gonna rant on my movie experience for now. first of all, this is to me, the biggest movie of the year! i get erections watching the trailers before other movies. sure i've seen it countless times online, but having it enlarge in full HD glory where the range of your eyes simply could not shut out the visuals unless u turned ur head away, the sheer awesomeness of it gave me goose-bumps and sometimes my pants got a little wet (prolly cos the coke's sweat dripped.. but thats nt important).  

entering the cinema,  just got blown away by amazing trailers of Transformer2, Terminator4, StarTrek! sure, i've seen em online. but just seeing them with friends is a different matter altogether! and commercials weren't shying away too. there was like a good 20 mins of random shit tossed together, long enough for me to drink half of my drink, realised its a three hour show, get off to take a piss, realize i was looking good in the mirror and skip down to my seat to where my fag friend was covering his eyes since the thai trailer, "coming soon" was on. then the movie starts.

the shit starts with an incredible opening sequence retelling the tales of the minutemen, a superhero group, similar to the Avengers or JLA, who was a generation before the watchmen. then it drives straight to the intense scene of the comedian getting murdered (there, that scene where the window shatters cos some guy got thrown out lo). and everything else being just sheer awesomeness that will leave you wanting for the movie never to end!

and now the shitty part! i was in one cinema with another of my friend in the other cinema, cos he bought his ticket late, bla bla bla.. well, my cinema wasn't full, which ticked me off to a certain extent. (dark knight was full of cheena poks entering the cinema confusing themselves and enduring the three hours so they can tell their other cheena friends that they saw the dark knight and its damn good le! solid!) but it was still bearable. but my friend over at the other cinema had to endure SEVERAL people leaving their seats at the scene where Dr Manhatten leaves Earth. WHATHEFLUB?! where the f did they get the balls to leave the cinema? maybe their ah lian gfs finally realized that mr da long's long(dragon) wasn't the biggest thing they could get after comparing to Dr M. and mr da long just have to remind missy ah lian that it was too bad for them in the nearest toilet! BAH! how can this even happen? was it that bad to endure? how bout trying ghosts rapping in hokkien? perhaps they could relate more to that.

it was very even more disheartening to see that for today's lifestyle section in the straits times had bad reviews for the watchmen. wanna know the even better part. it was feature on the front page of that section. i dont have a copy with me but i glance through it and it was saying that it wasnt being true to telling the message that the original graphic novel had. and how the original shaped superheroes and yadayadayada! and wanna know the better part? Outta 5, 2 FUCKING STARS! if the number 2 could be caps, it would be! on a newspaper that singaporeans take seriously, you give a shitty 2 star rating on the anticipated film of like forever for comic geeks. whatheflubbbbbbberrriouciouslllyyy??!?! 

i quote filmschoolrejects.com when i say that it will be the greatest vision of the watchmen ever made for screen. all this hype about how the watchmen can never be made into a movie and it has all been flushed away thanks to mr snyder. and i understand he emitted several things and added several things to make the entire movie experience an enjoyable one. there are alot of things that needed to stay true to the book and i fully appreciated that mr snyder let them be and i never felt shortchanged after the credits rolled. (except for the jailbreak scence, which was my fav in the book. i felt it should have been much more darker and more gore-y) 

on a side note, Rorschach had hair! like in the book! cos i never saw jackie earle haley with any real (by real, i mean long enough to consider it hair) hair. so tada, big pleasant surprise for me. 

jackie earle haley as Walter Kovacs

here he is, with my enhanced photoshopping skills, showing u how a sample of him with hair

on another side note, zack snyder really love his details, and google the eastereggs for the watchmen film, theres plenty that will make you look out for. examples include, James Jean Art! and when Ozy files are open, they reveal a folder entitled "boys". 

HAH! -raises eyebrows repeatedly and suggestively-

also, My Chem Romance plays their cover of "desolation row" at the end credits. check out their music video if you will. 

to wrap things up, 

i give the film an

please note, that this is totally my opinion as a comic book fan who enjoyed the original literature a shy 4 years ago after getting pissed that all the batman books were done reading in the library and that yellow book is taunting me with that eerie smile. i definitely look forward seeing the film again and hopefully, it will be in my fav cinema, the grand cathay! yup, thats the one where the curtains part!
