Video: Painfully awesome “Transformers” trailer
posted at 3:24 pm on May 18, 2007 by Allahpundit
I posted an earlier trailer in December, but the awesomeness of that one was merely irritating. “Looks stupid and amazing,” I said. Ah, but my friends — how vastly more stupid and amazing this one is. Shooting pains in my lower back and abdomen from the acute awesomeness of it all.
I’m warning you, it may be this sort of thing for the rest of the day.
Update: The hi-rez purists among us will find comfort here.

Maybe I’m just a noob, but what about a GI Joe Movie…written by Frank Miller?
As pro-American as he’s been lately, that would be awesome.

1) Don’t try to get tech support on the day this movie comes out.
The good news about this trailer is that humans are portrayed as slightly less useless than in the previous one. The “helpless humans” trope is one of the most overused in sci-fi movies.
And I don’t know why people are getting so bent over the “babe falls for nerd” trope. Personally, I want that one as solidly imprinted on the public consciousness as possible!
2) The terrible tragedy of a “GI Joe” movie would be that idiot Hollywood drones would use the later, useless “Neon Joe” period to form a movie, when they should use the early “Dark War Joe” period. The earlier period had danger, risks, and bad guys who were almost scary, the “Neon” period was all bad jokes.
3) Fantastic Four is the “Franchise of Death.” If they make Galactus a cheap cloud special effect, I might just publicly burn movie posters in protest. It sounds like they made SS a moron as well, from the trailers, which is just grievously wrong.

Johnny Quest? Time Tunnel? Yeah, lots of us are old. I mean Man From U.N.C.L.E., Rat Patrol, Combat, Green Hornet old.
I’m glad the the new FF movie will include THE favorite of many comic readers of the 50′s and 60′s, the Silver Surfer. But mine was The Flash, and right behind him Captain America and the Green Lantern (Alan Scott/Hal Jordan, NEVER Kyle Rayner). I do hope they don’t make the SS into a buffoon.

Cat – “long live Starscream”
Right on Cat! Starscream is the MAN! I just wish they’d make him LOOK like Starscream and not some clunky thing that’s gonna tip over from its own imbalanced weight distribution. Upgraded from an F-15 to and F-22. Nice.
Freelancer, Johnny Quest was a great show … but they’ll never make a movie out of it. Why? I got one word for ya: Hajji. The little Hindu boy will be confused for a muslim and riots will break out all over the islamic world. “We’re offended! Die infidel! DIE!!”
