Optimus Awesomus II



Was driving to work one morning listening to 104.1 KRBE. Dj announces caller number 10 gets tickets to see a Sneak Peak of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Monday night June 22, 2009. I dial the phone number with my eyes on the road & at my cell phone, it's busy, I'm busy. I call again, still busy. I'm going to die trying.

"Damn, everybody in the whole of Houston must be doing the same thing."

I dial a third time and get a ring tone. A girl answers. YES! I win free tickets to see a most awesome movie next week. Strangely, the radio station needs my social security number and other information. I second guess myself and think I've called the wrong number but I didn't, it's for tax purposes she says.

We get to the movie theater after accidently going to the wrong theater all the way in town, 30 minutes late puts us all the way at the back of the line that's already 200 deep. Despite this, we get in. Seated in the very front. Everyone's excited. The guy next to me just can't stop giggling like a teenaged girl at a Jonas Bros. Concert. I sympathize with him though because after all it's free. It's Transformers 2. It's 2 hours long.

The most ridiculously awesome two hours of morphing machines slicing steel I've had since the very first Matrix. Repeatedly it was like opening a box filled with some sort of divinity and hearing a chorus of voices sing aloud announcing the grandeur below. Yes, it was that good. Yes, it was a Michael Bay film. The same guy who does movies like Armageddon, Bad Boys & The Rock but these films aren't meant for the Oscars. They're meant for pure adrenaline, sphincter squeezing, nail biting thrill rides that make us want more & more. Which judging by the ending and comic adaptation is what will undoubtedly happen. Megan Fox was also pretty good.
