wat the hell??? they get it like 3 weeks b4 us??? total gayness... now im gonna half 2 resist watching bootlegs 4 like 3 weeks..
I wanna' go to Japan durning the summer, but I can't. That would be awsome, though I'd probably spend all my money on anime figures and before I could aford the movie tickets. I probably can't aford to go anywhere, for anything, anyway...
This makes me more and more optimistic that we're going to see the movie at Botcon, and maybe even get the same "press group" as this. paint this fanboy happy! Randy!
At first I thought the movie was showing the movie today in Japan. It made me wonder if Bay is finally finish with the movie. I'm glad it will be June 8th.

While the current incarnations of TF's (both Bayformers and TFA's) are American in origin, it does seem to make sense to have the preview in the land where it all started. Yeah we'll have bootlegs all over the place by the time opening day rolls around but not a damn one of them will be worth watching. The big screen is the only way to go for this film and IMAX is going to be even sweeter! Let the pirate boys try their illegal BS. I've got some tech guru buddies just itching to dispense some very...harmful...digital justice to anyone who would dare cheapen or demean the TFII experience.
Probably a good idea to promote exclusively, as the first movie's box office figures were seemingly pretty luke-warm in Japan. The fact it is being released with such a substantial period of time between markets is strange, however.
