My opinion of Transformers: Revenge of the fallen

You've seen it, You've heard it. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was probably the worst reviewed movie to make as much money as it did. Critics complained of too much CG, no plot, and too much action.

I went to see T2 (Transformers 2) when it came out on June 24th. Before I went to see the first showing at 11:45, I checked to see what the critics gave it. I went to RottenTomatoes and to my amazement, the critics gave it a 20/100. So I read a few reviews, and quickly saw that the critics have watched too many dramas.

Here they are, complaining about TOO many special effects and explosions. Really? According to my book, there can NEVER be too many special effects and explosions in ANY action movie. So at that point I was pumped.

So I went to the movie, got my tickets and popcorn and shiz, and saw T2.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the best Action movie I have ever seen. However, it lacks depth in it's storyline, to the point that critial adults may be more focused on the plot than the actual movie.

I'm going to break this down into sections:

Plot

Effects

Other

Plot:

As many have said about Transformers 2, it's plot is shaky at best.

The basic flow of the movie is this:

The US is now partners with the autobots, they go around finding and killin decepticons. They kill some, but the decepticons blow up half the city, so the US is now in trouble. Sam is going off to college and Mkayla are now separated. So he goes there and gets seduced by this hot chick who is part robot, she tries to kill him but sam escapes. Only to be captured by Blackout and taken to a warehouse where he is almost pwned by Megatron. Optimus saves him and takes him to the woods where he fights the decepticons...no PWNS the decepticons until he is anally raped by megatron. With optimus dead, this fugly robot, "The Fallen" comes to earth to try to eat the sun. A bunch of decepticons come, to get ready to fight this battle over the leadership matrix...or something like that. Well sam meets up with that guy from S7 from the last movie, and they go to egypt looking for the thing. They are tracked by soundwave who's a fuggin awesome satellite bot, they find the matrix but as soon as they touch it it turns to dust, but sam thinks it can revive optimus, so they run off to a city to try and save him. Well as they are getting there, thedecepticons attack and a huge battle ensues, devastator comes to life and just pwns the shit out of the great pyramid however, he's shot in the back by a rail gun. Sam eventually reachesoptimus after dying once, he puts the matrix in optimus's chest, and he's alive. The Fallen then takes the matrix and teleports to the great pyramid, which apparently hid this sun eater. So he starts it up, but optimus merges parts with this other robot and flies to the pyramid, where he blows up the sun eater and beats the living shit out of "The Fallen". Afterwards Sam and Mykalaare so in love blah blah blah.

There is no depth in this movie. Essentially this is the same plot as the last movie. Autobotscome, decepticons come, they fight over one thing the entire movie. That's it.

Effects:

Even though the plot sucked, the winning punch for this movie was it's special effects.From the start of this movie, all you see is robots fighting each other, and being damn good at it. The best fight scene in my opinion was the one where optimus is beating the shit out of the decepticons in the woods. Not only did he talk crap, he backed it up by ripping off arms and bustin jaws. I loved every second of it. The rest of the movie showed many transformations of the robots, but also it showed that the autobots are no punks, like they were in the last movie.

Other:

I guess the last thing is just other elements like acting and comedy.

The acting was ok, to be honest, most of any acting on the actors part was running away from robots, or being smashed into stuff. That's it. But the comedy was on point. From the second scene of this movie onward, there are little snippets of ironic comedy all throughout this movie, ESPECIALLY when mudflaps and his twin hit the scene. I laughed a lot in this movie, something that's pretty rare in these types of films.

So after all of this, what do I rate it?

Since this is an action movie, I didn't care about the plot, all I cared about was the action. So for an action movie I give it a 9/10, simply because there wasn't another 6 tons of explosives used.

If you're the average american, you're going to love this movie. However if you're one of those critical intellectual types, well then I wouldn't suggest this movie to you.

Moderators Suck

The Naturalmotion moderators suck:

How dare they shake their moderation powers in our faces? It's like a girl who strips naked and rubs all on you, but says she only wants to dry hump. FUUUUUUU-

The one thing that sucks about creating websites

Browsers.

There is nothing that will make me lose hair faster than internet browsers. IE, Firefox, and the like all keep me up at 3 Am trying to finish something. As a wise man once said, 10% of your time is spent trying to make your website. The other 90% is making your website compatible with all browsers, or at least all of the good ones. Which ones? IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera. Each browser has it's own quirks:

I cant use a margin of 8px with IE, oh no, I have to set it's position to absolute. I can't float the div to the left without it getting messed up. That's IE for ya, screwing everything else up. Firefox, Chrome and Safari loved the page! But IE? Oh no. They hate simplicity.

If any developer of said browsers is bored enough to read this blog. Understand this. MEET UP AND AGREE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING BROWSERS! Make life easy for everyone, and find a common ground. So I only have to spend 30 minutes making a site instead of 4 hours.

Wannabe hackers are stupid

On the Naturalmotion forum, I made a thread asking for ideas for a program to write.

Above all of the other requests, the thing I was asked to write the most was a hacking tool.

Are you people serious!?

I would NEVER write a program for a bunch of kiddies who want to hack their friends. You want to know how most hackers get caught? It's because they are a bunch of KIDS who think it'd be sooo kewl for them to hack into something. Do they know what they're doing? No. Do they understand how the hack works? No. Do they understand the systems, the protocals, ANYTHING!? No.

What they want to do, is press a button, and hack. They expect it to be like the movies. Beautiful GUI's and random numbers flying across the screen. THEY think hacking is a no brain activity. Enter the IP address and press HACK. That's what they want to do. They don't want to learn, they don't want to explore. No. They just want to hack into something, and break stuff.

That's not what hacking is about. Hacking is about finding flaws in something and making it better. You people want to know why I'm so good at what I do? It's because I sit down on my computer for 6 hours wondering why something wont work or how to make something better. It's because I don't give up when I can't figure it out the FIRST time. It's because I WANT to learn new things and not be a mindless idiot. That's why I'm so good with computers, and that's why I CAN HACK into something if I wanted to.

These kiddies on the forums couldn't hack their way into a cereal box. So then why would I write them something so they could "hack" into a computer. Only so they could screw something up and get caught be the FBI hours later. Then squeal on the guy who wrote them to program. Please, give me a break.

If they want to hack something so bad, they can drop $200 bucks in my lap and I'll write them whatever they want.

LOL Girls are funny

Ahhhh women...

If any of you guys have been living long enough, you can probably relate to this one.

Alright. So it was graduation night for my old school. AKA Project Graduation. Essentially what it is is a lockin type of thing where you and your fellow graduates all hang out for the entire night in an effort to keep you all from going out and getting wasted.

So I'm there just to talk with my friends and get some numbers. You know, my old friends numbers. Yeah I know where your brain went. lol

So I'm there, and while I'm there one of my old friends wants me to talk with her blah blah. So I go sit on the other side of the gym and she starts leaning on me, hard. So I'm like: NICE! I'm finally black enough to do it right! So basically the whole night we hang out together, she's layin in me and stuff, and midway through the night she starts complaining about "OH! I havent had sex in threeee months!" So I was like...ok?

Now, I know this girl. She's what I like to call, a man hopper. She wants all men, all the time. She'll have a boyfriend, and other friends who will give it to her every now and again. So yeah, fellas, I'm not gay. She just aint my type.

So anyway, I'm like whatever. So we leave, and really I have no intention of going with this girl, but she is my friend and before we leave I see this wierd look on her face. She's upset. It bothers me a little, so on myspace I ask her what was wrong. She said that nothing was wrong but she was wondering about "us", and I was like..."What?" so then she says that she wanted to date me. REALLY!? Wow. I was surprised, and totally off guard. So like a retard I sent her a message back saying "Oh yes, I wanna be ur boifren. Cal me 2morro so we cn set sumthin up" so I go to sleep, and when I wake up, I'm back to my normal, analytical self.

So I call her, and she says. "My phone is dead, I'll get back to you" When she said that, I said to myself. "Hmm...OK, we'll see miss" so I call her up the next day, same story. That gets my gears turning, so I go to myspace and check up on the status updates.

Now, quick tip ladies. If you tell a guy one thing, and are really doing something else. DON'T POST IT ON MYSPACE. REALLY!

So I'm looking through:

"waiting for you baby"

"Can't wait for you to pick me up"

"Going somewhere with my lil secret"

That aint me. At this point, any attraction is gone, because she's trying to mess with 3 guys at once. That is NOT a good thing to be a part of, especially the hood thugs she dates. However, I have nothing better to do, and I was quite bored, so I decided to continue to play along to see how it would play out. My prediction, was that she was horny that night and was all over me because I had a head and shaft she could use. She didn't get mine, but she did get this other guys. So now she wants him because he can put it on her whenever she wants.

So now I've got my popcorn and candy, and am checking the updates every night, really just to see what's going to happen next:

"BLANK and BLANK!"

"I love you BLANK"

"BLANK came over and can put it on me"

This was getting interesting, so one night I decide to take myself out of this triangle. I message her and we talk. The convo essentially ends when she says "I don't wanna date my friends" and then she lays down what I SHOULD have known all along. "I'm not the kind of girl you're looking for" BINGO! I knew that all along, yet, I got caught up. Meh.

Normally, I'd leave it at that. However, the status updates were pretty interesting to read through:

Some girl's pissed

Some girl's happy

Same girl's pissed now

Some guy is thinkin about xbox

same girl is happy again

some girl's in love

some guy think's he's in love

some girl think she's hot (she's not)

and on and on.

This particular girl, just happens to be mixed in with all the others.

So last night I'm roaming through, bored, when I notice that the girl was having some party. I was supposed to be invited to that. I also saw that she was expectin loverboi too. That annoyed me a little bit, because as far as I'm concerned I see one pattern:

She has a boi already

She's horny

Wants another guy

Says she wants to date other guy

meets new guy

leads all three on

continues with new guy

drops other guys

goes with other guy

repeat.

So at the end of it all. I'm a little annoyed at myself for even getting involved in all of this. I already know the girl, I know her habits, and can see right through her, yet I lowered my guard and got sucked in.

I guess it was the fact that she caught me off guard and I wanted a girl.

Either way, it was totally worth it in the end, because I learned a little more about how funny girls are. :D

Why do they run and we lie?

I was watching some cop show the other night, and the pumped up narrator was like: "Why do they run, it's pointless", which got me thinking. Why would they run? This also coincides with why do we lie? Especially if we're going to get caught.

Well, I think it's like this. If we tell the truth, we're giving up. There is no way to wiggle your way out of something if you tell the truth. Yeah officer, I've got 5 pounds of coke in this car. Ok. Guess what blackie, you're going TO-JAIL. Period. Yeah you admitted it, but the judge isn't going to be leniant on you because you towld da truf. Oh no. So heck, why not run? You get to test out your new Mercades, and you might even have a chance at getting away...well you would if you were intellegent enough to know how to evade someone.

In any case, the same reason why criminals run is the same reason why WE lie. It's simply because if you do the "right thing" you're busted, there's no getting out of that. But if we lie/run, there's a chance we can get away with it.

So when your mom/dad asks you why you lied to them, simply tell em that when you lied you had a chance at getting away with it, and that even though they caught you, you're still screwed, it's just that now they are a little more pissed at you. lol

I'm tired of adults.

I'm so sick of adults. 

The further and further I get into this crap with my mom, the more and more I begin to hate the adults around me. There are over 15 people involved in this, and not a god damned one has done a THING to help this situation except for me the poor bastard in the middle. I'm the one who watches her, I'm the one who listens in on her phone calls, I'm the one who picked her room lock so I can monitor paperwork, I'm the one who makes MYSELF a target so she wont bother my brothers, I'm the one who puts his neck on the line every day, I'm the one who takes the brunt of my mothers anger, I'm the one who gets punched, slapped, and pushed around, I'm the one she calls the cops on, I'm the one who almost didn't graduate, I'm the one who almost went to juvenile because my mom lied, I'm the one who stays up until 2AM to ensure that mom isn't going to go suicidal, I'm the one who sleeps with a basket slanted with a 4 inch book in front of his face in the hope that a small round can't penetrate, I'm the one who makes suggestions and have them ignored, I'm the one who has to lie to his brothers and tell them that everything is ok when I don't know a damn myself, I'm the one who's nerves are shot, I'm the one who wants to cry but can't, I'm the one who needs counseling. THAT'S ME! 

Yet I have adults, who THINK KEYWORD THINK! They know what's best, because they are adults. They don't know shit. Yet they continue to try and tell ME the man on the frontlines that I'm doing it wrong. No, you shouldn't use an M16 to fight terrorists, no no, use this airsoft gun. We know it works because when we were young that's how we took care of things. Yeah, how does that work out for us. We KNOW you're wrong, but because you're in command, we have to do it, and while we die and get obliterated because of YOUR stupid decisions, the WORST you have to worry about is how it will affect your career. That's it.

I'm tired of adults. I can't tell you how many adults tell me "Stay in a childs place" WHAT!? Stay in a childs place is what you do when your parent is SANE! Not when your parent might FUCKING KILL YOU! Yet, when I defend myself. I'm the asshole who's wrong. ME. I go out and bust my ass day in and day out trying to keep this family together, and all they do at the end of it is tell me everything I did wrong. Yet, what the fuck are they doing?

My dad does nothing but tell me to wait and see what happens. Yeah. The CIA said "Lets wait and see what those terrorists do, they wont do anything anyway" and what happened? 3000 people died? Just waiting and seeing. My dad sits at home with my mom's uncle, and though he comes out there, that's pretty much it. He hasn't been all the proactive with this shit, not unless something happens, then he's all up in arms, here in a heartbeat, ready to take on the world. That's the problem, how the hell do you protect people when by the time you get to them they are already fucked up? WHAT'S THE POINT!? 

I have suggested PLAN after PLAN after PLAN. Preimptive measures. In C++ we call this the switch statement:

switch(sanity_level){

case normal:

do_nothing;

break;

case mild:

encourage_to_read_nice_book;

break;

case worse:

go_to_shrink;

break;

case bad:

remove_kids;

break;

case crazy:

get_court_order_for_shrink

break;

}

These are my levels, since day ONE I've told my dad to GET FUCKING PAPERS. FORCE her to get her shit together. But noooo, all that resolve ends to nothing once everything cools off.Then it's back to wait and see. FUCK THAT. You don't have to do shit. You just sit back, if shit goes down, YOU aren't the one getting fucked up. It's ME, and my brothers. WE are the ones taking the hits. Not THEM. 

The craziest part, of all this. Is that everybody's a christian. Meaning that they think that if they pray hard enough, she's gonna get well all by herself, and that's all fine and dandy. But uh...SHE CAN ALREADY GET FUCKING WELL. All she has to do is see a shrink, once that happens she's ok. But no, they don't want to get their hands dirty, it's easier to just pray. God said be faithful. Not be a fucking idiot. He didn't say jump off a 50 story building because he'll protect you. No. He said to be faithful when you're up and when you're down. He didn't say anything about not fixing things you CAN fix and to let him fix it. That's like me praying over a glass of spilled milk and praying for god to clean it up for me. When all I had to do was wipe it up. 

Had I been in control, this would have been squashed the first week, and certainly after my mom beat up on my youngest brother. That would have been IT. But no, we are now two months into this. She has not gotten better, oh no, she gets worse. I've tried to reason with her and that failed. So now I don't acknowledge her. Every step of the way, I've tried to get the adults to SEE my side of things. To let them know that WE can't live like this. Yet they continue to ignore me and tell me that I'm a child. 

Well FUCK them. It doesn't matter whether you are a child or an adult, when you've got a crazy woman who wants to KILL YOU. What are you going to do? What? Because I'm a child I'm supposed to let her kill me? What kind of stupid ass logic is that? Oh wait, that's easy for them to say because their ass isn't on the line. 

That's what I hate about parents and guardians. They like to call all the shots, but when it comes down to getting shit done, you rarely find one who'll get on their knees and get the shit done.

I'm so tired of adults. Or more specifically MY adults.

2 Parents.

8 cops

3 counselors

1 Aunt

1 Grandmother

2 Godparents

1 Godsister

3 Children

Number of people who have done anything to help the situation: 1

Me. 

I'm the one who's gotta put up with it, and when I do all I can to ensure that my brothers, whom I now care for more than I do my own parents, are safe, I'm told not to do that. Because I am a child.

Fucking logical thinking there

Note:

Sorry for the cursing, as you can tell I am not at all pleased. I'm so angry at these worthless adults in my life. I'm at the point of blowing the whistle and calling CPS to let them handle this shit.
