Every time I read about the fairy tale romance between Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, I pause for a moment to ponder my own fairy tale romance with Tony Roma's, Famous For Ribs.
I swear to God, if Tony Roma ever breaks up with me, I will freak the fuck out.
@scroll_lock: And, if I'm not mistaken, baby's also got motherfucking loaded mashed potatoes in there somewhere. That's why I'll always love my Tony Roma's.
If I were one of those positive-body-image-undermining creeps, I might say that Jessica should shout "beep! beep! beep!" into the microphone before she backs up on stage. You know, for safety's sake.
But I'm not, so I won't. Besides, I think she looks damn good in that picture.
Oh, I really don't want to defend Jessica Simpson, but it really is shitty to dump someone the night before her birthday, especially if she's planning some huge party.
Also - wasn't there a blind item a few weeks about about a celeb who was losing her hair because of extensions? I thought it was for a reality star, but maybe it was Lindsay.
@J. Frank Parnell: I actually purchased the rights to the Mix-a-Lot name and portfolio during his second bankruptcy in 2002.
All it got me was a lot of irate creditors from unknown countries calling my home at bizarre hours, but it was still worthwhile for the personalized license plate alone.
What does it say about this franchise (and Orci and Kurtzman) when the original cartoon had characterization, smarter stories, intelligent dialogue, better robot designs and action scenes you could tell what the hell was going on.
Having, um, seen the movie on the Imax last night because of a couple of strings a friend pulled (don't judge me!), I can safely say that it is exactly what I wanted it to be and no less. The robots are neat-looking, there's lots of silly crap about Energon and the Matrix of Leadership and caveman Transformers, Megan Fox is quite attractive, and there are a couple of great moments from Tony-winning jewel Julie White and dear old Shia, who is a pretty good actor no matter what anybody says.
I liked it. It was like an old episode of the cartoons that went on for two and a half hours, and since their brevity was my only complaint about the cartoons to begin with, I was thrilled.
Also, Jetfire is fucking cool. And Frank Welker, the voice of Nibbler, plays Soundwave.
You make some good points, Richard. But will this stop every male I know (many of whom are over the age of 30) from becoming boys from 1985 and going to see the loud, bangy, bang movie? Nope. Not at all. To Bay's credit he understands what it is. It's not about pithy commentary and smart storylines, this movie based on the dreams and fantasies of boys who will forever want to take a toy car and push it along to their own mouth-music of "vrrooom, vrrrrooom," they care not about how well Shia can parse a sentence or if the robots are more than just CGI gobbledy-gook. It's about being able to say at least once or twice during those 90 minutes, "Heh. That was cool."
There's really not much else.
G.I. Joe looks awful, btw. But *sigh* I'll see it, because well, it was part of my youth and there's some sort of nostalgia obligation that makes these things have to occur. Tiresome. But there it is.
All I ever expected from the movie was loud noises and flesh, though I for one was glad when the Fox-kneeling-on-a-bike shot was taken out of the promo.
I do expect a nice cooler adjacent to the theater entrance to set my brain in during the movie, because Gladys has standards.

That may not be a bad thing, per se. But it would depend if the man wanted to date her or rub her with garlic. Just sayin.

Aww, he is doing pretty good, no thanks to that dipshit, Gallo. Long live Ebert!
