In Persona 5, there is a dungeon you can explore that is a manifestation of the collective unconsciousness of Japan.
It's too big to explore on foot, but your talking cat party member is like, "That's okay, for some reason, people accept the idea of cats as vehicles" and transforms into a bus for the rest of the party to ride in.
TF3 was kind of an improvement over 2, granted, it's mainly because they ripped the plot from two different storylines in the G1 cartoon and offed the two ministrel bots offscreen.
4 though, wow.
On the one hand, no Sam - on the other, the Romeo and Juliet scene. Sam is such a bad character I'll take Cypher Raige or whatever his name is over him.
Cade yaeger. Whenever I read it I double take because there is no way they actually named a character in a movie that.

I like TF1 and I don't know why. I think maybe it was just the novelty of live action Transformers on the big screen. Everyone in the theater was genuinely excited to see it too. There was a similar effect with The Phantom Menace that made me think it was a better movie than it really was the first time I saw it.
The sequels are definitely trash, though. TF2 was just fucking stupid and offensive. TF3 was so damn boring and incomprehensible I fell asleep in the middle of it. Haven't bothered with TF4 or 5.
Transformers 1 was a flawed film that had some promise.
But rather than try to improve on what worked or could have worked, they just doubled down on all the worst parts of the first film, and just kept digging deeper and deeper.
I really liked Transformers 1. I didn't like the almost indistinguishable designs for a lot of them, just a mish mash of jagged metal, but I liked the premise, I liked the CGI (I dont know if it still holds up), even the music was pretty good, the Transformers theme is more inspiring than the Wonder Woman theme. Liked the ending to. It's a really solid film IMO, not oscar worthy but fun and good and rewatchable. The rest can get fucked, but Michael Bay will probably watch them getting fucked and them cast them in his next film.
The mish-mash of jagged metal design really spoiled the whole thing for me. The Transformers of my childhood looked like cars. Big, clunky and robotic. The transformations would have looked fantastic in CGI.
The helicopter attack scene to start the TF1 is still how I confirm I've hooked up my surround sound right each time I move. The noise the windows make when they all burst and the deep bass of the gun cannon make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I highly recommend it.

The first Transformers was stupid but watchable, is what I think people are getting at.

I really can't believe we've talked about Transformers here so much today, especially since we all seem to be in agreement on it being a completely shit franchise
Instead, let's talk about how psyched we are for Baby Driver this week.
sooooooo psyched

I am not at all excited for Baby Driver. I assume
any Edgar Wright movie will be quite good, and I'll certainly see it, but the concept doesn't excite me at all really.

After the disappointment of the World's End I want to like Baby Driver but am hedging my bets, I think the action will be hella solid but the dull lead actor/actress combo from the trailers makes it seem like I'm being set up for a bait and switch.

World's End starts off interesting, but after that good bathroom fight it just wanders, I really don't care for Pegg's character as it continues, the villains were meh and the big ending talk felt like it fumbled what it wanted to say about everything. I don't' know how much of it was Wright writing about himself getting older but that's what it felt like and it was all just a meh movie.

Pilgrim and World's End are two I'm in no hurry to ever revisit, while I've seen Shaun and Hot Fuzz numerous times.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

But it stars your best friend and favorite actor Ansel Elgort!

Pilgrim could have been mich better if they had cast someone else as Scott.
They never actually casted anyone for Scott. Michael Cera just wandered into the wrong studio and said he was in it cause he felt awkward. No one wanted to make it more awkward so they just rolled with it.

I don't like it, and I do like video games.
I think that living in a video game, subject to video game rules, would be literally hellish.
Nothing I've seen or heard of Scott Pilgrim has changed my mind on this.

The nice thing about Totoro is that he's somewhat menacing on sight, but a big softie in how he acts. The Chewbacca effect.
I'm not sure that my kid has reached the second part yet...

I'm grateful for MNT just for Persona 5's catbus jokes.

It's a pretty alright movie, though. The weakest of the trilogy, certainly.

*its funny, but it's not a comedy.
Pilgrim is an almost perfect movie. Edit: and the casting was perfect
They basically say it's a tums festival.
Seeing it on Sunday with director Q&A at the Drafthouse.
I dunno about the overall quality, but I'd certainly have been more likely to see it
As it stands, I have not seen Scott Pilgrim, and have to plans to do so.
Michael Cera is an automatic No Thanks.
You're really missing out by letting Cera keep you from seeing the movie.
I would agree. It's overall pretty good. Cera is just the most significant weakness.
But it stars your best friend and favorite actor Ansel Elgort!

You just have to like video games a whole bunch, but since you're here, I assume that demographic is acceptable.
oh yeah?
Knock it off.
