Transformers review (in outline form)
- Shia LaBeouf, whose name I'm tired of looking up for spelling purposes, saved the film with his facial expressions and awkward/quirky style that channels Michael Cera of Arrested Development fame. He kept the movie consistently funny, so I was happy most of the time. I was also happy because I had pockets full of free Google M&M's.
- The movie focused too much on the non-LaBeouf humans, and not enough time on the transformers themselves.
- In the end I felt like Transformers was yet another action film slain by the shaky camera, which obscured the work of the film's talented artists 99% of the time. Just because it worked in Saving Private Ryan doesn't mean every action movie has to hide the action behind Parkinson's.

On imdb today, there is a poll regarding the recently selected top 25 stars under 25. Who actually has the brightest future, that sort of thing. Shia LaBeouf is trouncing the competition. It's like, everyone else: couple hundred votes - Shia: SEVEN THOUSAND. The next closest is Michael Cera with nearly 2,000.
I really don't understand how he is drumming up so much support. Did Transformers really make that big of an impact on people? I mean, I knew he was our savior, but I thought I was practically alone on that. I have to hurry up and publish a memoir so that he can play me in it.
(Also, I'd just like to remind everyone that I loved him long before all of you - not just back when he was indie - but back when he was mainstream for retarded children, which is way more indie than indie.)
