On MJ, Farrah Fawcett, and Transformers 2.
I'm sure most (if not the entire world) has heard that Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50.
And while I would love to get into his role as the King of Pop, his music, his high's and low's (and what low's they were!), I think we all have an opinion of him, and nothing that can be said will change said opinion.
Before yesterday, I didn't really know Farrah Fawcett, which is a shame because she was huge back in the heyday.
I hope they are both in a better place.
On the subject of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, I knew I would have problems with it when I saw the redesign of the Fallen. Don't scroll if you don't want to see it!
This is the original (according to the Transformers comics) design of the Fallen.
Notice the classic "box" look of the Fallen. Notice how he is on fire. Note that, as the Fallen, he is perpetually on fire.
Now, if you were to ask "Vyl, what's your opinion on this character's design," I would say "fucking cool. It may not be the most awe-inspiring design ever, but it's fucking cool."
THIS is the Fallen as seen in Michael Bay's film.
Notice how the Fallen looks nothing like it does in the comics, and how it's so...so...alien. Granted, the Transformers ARE alien, but at least they kept the "giant hunks of metal" look (which lead to it being EXTREMELY hard to differentiate between Decepticons).
This is just...no.
Oh, and then Devastator appeared, and he also looked ridiculously different. In fact, he was no longer "Devastator," but rather, the Hunchback of Cybertron.
Did I mention that Soundwave is a jet?
A jet?
Now, issues with the designs aside, I can't say much more, other than what was already said on Rotten Tomatoes (which has a 22% rating so far, for the record). I anticipate that this movie will be better than Terminator Salvation, if only because there's more action, but in terms of plot and characters?
If the first movie was any indication...yeah, what plot and characters?
