You know what? That exact same thing was my concern. What a fucking nerd I am - 'oh no, this cover is all wrong! all wrong!' Relax, nerd.

I like that after everything, you're still reaching for the Monsters Ball grail. Way to keep it real.

Yes, not getting on Monsters' Ball because Lindsay left is exactly like the inexpressible tragedy of a stillborn child.

Didn't mean to be snide you guys. Just pointing out that the setting of a wedding inherently makes otherwise boring youtube vids more popular. Would you like this if it happened in a grocery store? A frat party? Your mom's bedroom? Probably not.

This is the first time I've ever voted you down.

You know how much of a caricature of an Asian kid Russell was? So racist that someone had to actually contact Pixar to see whether he was actually racist or just fat.

Here's why my dad had to see this movie (re: my comment above) for work, it's kind of long (and copied and pasted from my Tumblr) but it's pretty funny:

My dad works for a military contracting company that sells a special kind of tank to the US army (as well as other armies) that detects roadside bombs. In the original Transformers movie (which came out before my dad worked there) the tank was used as Bonecrusher’s alternate form. In the movie, Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime had a chase scene on the highway. In this movie Bonecrusher was only in it for a few seconds as a tank that drove out of the meteor smoke near the end, when the satellite Decepticon sent the reinforcements. Because Transformers 2 was coming out, Hasbro sent hundreds of copies of Bonecrusher toys to my dad’s company, for their review. It would be super expensive to make tiny models of their tanks to give to clients, so instead my dad just gives them the Bonecrusher toy.

But there’s a problem with this: Federal law prohibits you from giving government employees gifts that are over $20, and Bonecrusher only comes in a 2 pack with Optimus Prime, which is just over $20 by itself (or at least, it looks expensive enough to make the clients nervous about accepting it). So my dad has to separate Optimus Prime from Bonecrusher to devalue the gift.

But then a new problem arises: Hasbro used to package Transformers as cars, but they found that after the movie was released the Transformer toys sold better if they were packaged as their robot forms. If my dad just gave a client the box, it would make sense that they’re in robot form, because they’re still in the box. But because my dad has to take them out of the box, he also has to transform them into the tank, or else it’d look weird. He’s given this to over 100 potential clients and colleagues, so he’s had to transform Bonecrusher over 100 times, and he’s had to find a way to get rid of over 100 Optimus Primes. He said he fucking hates Optimus Prime, which is understandable.

My dad is like 50 and he’s a retired colonel and a lot of his time at his high paying job is spent transforming transformers.

There needs to be a name given to this argument. Just because it's a given that it shouldn't be judged by "normal movie standards" doesn't give it an excuse to be as shitty as it is. If you were complaining about the plumbing in your house being broken and asbestos poisoning, I wouldn't say "well it's got four walls, doesn't it? It's got a roof, right? What are you complaining about?"

Did you have to temporarely retard your brain when you watched Star Trek? or The Dark Knight? How about Jaws or Raiders of the Lost Ark? I'm not expecting Shakespeare or anything but I do expect an coherant storyline, coherant action, humor that isn't of the toilet variety, characters I actually give a shit about. Is that too much to ask for?
