Stadium of fire
So we went to Stadium of Fire last night. I have tons of movies from there, which I'm too lazy to upload right now. But it was cool...and here are a couple of pictures from that night.
Transformers: More than meets the eye. Robots in disguise
So Adam and Logan and I all ended up seeing the new transformers movie last night. Although it was a good movie, there were a few things about it that didn't make sense. Upon talking about the movie, Adam and I came up with several things that could have made Transformers a little more believable.
1) So we get the fact that the original Optimus Prime was a Semi Trailer, and I guess you can't change that or you start making fans angry. But the trasformers can obviously change into any machine they want to...so why did they all change into cars? Why not change into fighet jets and get to places more quickly. Its like, "We've gotta hurry...so I'll change into a speedy 18 wheeler! Step on the gas!"
2) So they hide the big, giant cube inside all this concrete so that it can't transmit any signals to humans or alien life, thus keeping it a secret. But the little alien dude finds it and transmits its location to all the Decepticons from inside the same concrete barricade that prevents the cube from transmitting anything.
3) The Transormers were never around when the kid needed him. They always seemed to disappear and reappear at random times.
4) When the kid was trying to find those glasses in his room, why could his parents hear him talking in his room, but they couldn't hear the Autobots right outside the window talking and walking around?
5) In the last scene of the movie, they are tryig to keep Megatron from getting the cube. Also, if the cube is shoved into a robots chest, it kills them both. So lets consider their options at this point:
a) Give the cube to Optimus Prime and have him shove it into Megatron's chest and kill him.
b) Give it to any of the autobots and have them run far away and keep it from Megatron.
c) Give it to one of the army guys that were there, jump in one of their hummers and drive away with it really fast.
d) Give it to anybody that has a car and drive away with it really fast.
e) Give it to an army guy, who is it good physical condition, have him run with it, and shoot anything that tries to take it away from him.
But what did they do: Gave it to the 16 year old kid and had him run with it, on foot for several blocks, up to the top of this building so a helicopter could take it from him. Seems like a bad idea given that Megatron could have killed the kid and taken the cube any time he wanted.
6) Speaking of that, Megatron kept asking the kid to give him the cube. Why didn't he just kill the kid and take it instead of asking a kid who was 1/10th his size to please give it back.
7) How many girl mechanics are as hot as the girl in the movei? Zero.
8) How many computer programmers are as hot as the chick in the movie? Zero.
9) How many computer hackers are black gangsters that aren't nerds? Zero.
10) Just kinda funny that when they can't break the code of the transmission thing, the girl programmer says, "There is only one hacker in the world who can break this code." Oh, lucky for us, she knew him...and even more coincidence, she knows him...and even more coincidently, he lives right across the street. And guess what, he's not a nerdy white guy..he's a black, inner city gangster. Hmm...
11) So he breaks the code, goes to jail, and you never see him again. What was the point of him breaking the code in the first place if it doesn't mean anything?
12) And at the end of the movie, why did they make love on top of one of the transformer cars, with all the other transformer cars watching close by. Thats just gross.
