    Okay I feel I should ask this. Have you SEEN the movie yet?

    If not then you are posting inaccurate info. Particularly info that Roberto Orci says is inaccurate.

    Have you seen it, Shaun? Or a script with a robot-majority ratio? Or anything other than PR spin?

    Yes I've read the script...the old script we've all read. And I choose not to discount evey positive statement that dispells a negative opinion as "PR spin.

    I'm opting to see for myself :) 

    And personally I choose to take the word of someone who wrote the movie

    *EDIT

    And what I read of the script seems fine to me. And if the filming clips plus the Scoronok still photo are an indication. Seems like the humans character interact with the Transformers and it's not 25% TFs and 75% humans

    No he's not. If he's not seen the movie he's posting info that he (or you) doesn't know if it's accurate or not.

    To be posting inaccurate info would require him to be posting something is inaccurate. Which this might be, or might not.

    Roberto Orci says that kids want the Camaro as a cool car and that "complex=advanced".

    Presumably that means that the Camaro will even get released outside of North American and Oz now (it isn't) and ILM are replacing their simple, old fashioned beige server boxes with THIS, which as it looks hella complicated must presumably be the most powerful CGI rendering machine ever created.

    Whilst that sounds so stupid I imagine it said with a stereotyped LA bimbo accent, I don't think it has any bearing on his comments about the ratio.

    There will be more screen time than the script indicates as action scenes really do take longer in reality that they do on paper.

    The movie will tank because Harry Potter comes out the weekend after it. If it doesn't make $500 million in the first weekend, we're screwed.

    Ah, good ol Shaun_C. Long time no see. Here to spread your optimistic gospel to us heathen pessimists?

    No, what I said wasn't inaccurate. Like the previous poster said, you don't know what the truth is, and neither do I.

    Oh, and action scenes as the majority of the screen time for the TFs proves my point. If that 25% of the screen time that the TFs are all in action scenes, then there is even LESS screen time when the TFs are actually talking or getting developed as characters. Its kinda like the reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long TF sequences we've come to see when Optimus combines with other TFs. You can count that as constructive screen time, but I would like to see the TFs interact in scenes other than actions scenes.

    I agree for the most part... except that I don't like the robot designs. Oh well... won't know until 7-4-07.

    But this thread has so much off-OP debate and appreciation postings going on, that's not fair. :( 

    In fact, :cry

    Cool, that means I belong here...



    ...and they don't.


    That's because we don't give a damn about supporters, while they feel compelled to reply to our DISAPPRECIATION. Why can't they return the favor and ignore us? This is a particular thread where the title means "don't read". Seriously, you can't be more flame-safe than this.

    FOR GOD'S SAKE IT'S 'DEPRECIATION' :cry 

    Also, anyone getting chuckles at how the megacomplicated moviebot designs are going to translate into things like birthday party-favors and children's coloring books? :lol  Megamerchandising is going to lead to some classically funnybad stuff.

    You know, when I get drunk at Botcon I just know something in my subconscious is going to take over and I'll just wander the halls with a bottle of Corona grabbing people and screaming "You know it's actually 'Depreciation' right?? And you wanna give me five bucks??"

    Anyone else reminded of Dan Akroyd's Bag o' Glass when you see pictures of the movie bot heads?
