HEY REMEMBER *random 1980s pop culture dreck*

I think if there's any worse idea in the world than making a live action Transformers movie, it's letting Michael Bay make it. I have no idea why anybody would want to pay money to see that. I mean, usually with the crap that people go see, I have no interest in it myself but can see why other people would want to see it (average Shrek 3 audience member: "I feel frightened of and threatened by anything new and different"), but the Transformers thing confuses me. Hasn't everybody, at some point, watched (or read or listened to) something they really liked as a kid and been confused and disappointed at how bad it actually was? It's going to be that experience again, except the movie is going to be ten times worse than even the cartoon was.

If anybody that I'm friends with goes to see this, though, I might have to reevaluate our friendship. Ok, I'm kidding. But that fact will be in the back of my mind the next time this hypothetical friend recommends a movie.
