fake edit: Oh, and Shia is pretty awful in all of them. And I don't normally mind him. Well, until he semi-recent multi year meltdown he's been having.

He's so whiny in the 3rd movie that I gave up less than half an hour in. Seriously, the guy has a second super model girl friend and lives in her mansion but constantly​ complains because the world isn't handed to him for helping the transformers save the world.

My favorite part of 4 is at the end of a mostly fun and lighthearted chase scene TJ Miller gets loving MELTED out of nowhere. I saw the movie at midnight with a couple drinks in me and could not stop laughing when it happened. 4 is absolutely nuts and needs to be seen to be believed.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

I would pay a goon cold hard cash to give me a fan edit of 4 that is only any scene with Stanley Tucci. I might even go so far as to say if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching just for getting to see scenes like this:

4. I know because I haven't seen it those scenes, but I've heard everyone talking about how hosed up it is, so I know it's the one I haven't seen.

#4 has Marky Mark doing what kinda feels like the successor to the "Daughter's Date" scene from Bad Boys 2 for about half the movie. He's also named Kade Yeager and has an alien gunsword. It's anime.

Perhaps he's a man of exotic taste, you ever think of that you anti rural bigot? :colbert:

The exemption from a statutory rape charge isn't the really creepy bit (bare with me) its that the guy goes around carrying a little booklet about the loophole in the statutory rape law on him at all times and just whips out as justification, when Marky starts getting understandably sickened by the whole thing.

Oh and it has Bay, a man who worships the Yankee military direct a film with incredibly blatant and fawning PRC propaganda. I imagine its quite cathartic if you hate the guy.

How Mark says, "I think we found a Transforma" is the funnest thing, and when he asks his daughter, "who taught you all that science and math?", implying it was him (and we all goddamn well know it wasn't him).

How is it presented? Like, did he, a guy who is dating a minor but in a legal way, figure that, since he knows people are going to say it's illegal, start carrying around the statue so he can prove it on the spot and not have someone call the cops? Or does he have, like, a laminated card that he's clearly had for a while, probably as justification for more than one girl, and whips it out with a, "Nah, it's all good brah."

Yeah, that's my thing. There was zero reason to write this into the story. The screenwriter made a choice, and I seriously question his motives.

It's a clear attempt to add tension to the boyfriend's relationship with Cade Yeager, but it is so unnecessary and creepy. Still can't work out why the boyfriend was Irish but somehow from Texas.

Wahlberg even comparing someone to a leprechaun is kinda rich, too.

Well IIRC, Marky walks in on them being lovey, finds out the dude is his daughters boyfriend, starts freaking out about a potential rapist. You know doing the angry fast talking, bit. Meanwhile the guy starts talking about Romeo and Juliet, Marky gets confused so he whips this like card from his coat pocket that details what the exemption is and why it applies to him and Marky's daughter. So yeah he's been carrying that thing on him for awhile.

Transformers is unique in that amongst major franchise adaptions, it's gotta be the most far removed from the source material at this point, right? Like yes, Decepticons and Autobots and Cybertron are all there, but the actual depiction of those elements is fairly off-model. It feels like the movies are very much their own thing, distanced away from the core franchise beyond brand necessity and marketing tie-ins.

It's weird because the movies are kinda bigger than the toys, but distinct. They're distant, but very related.

James Bond is pretty far removed from it's source material, in that most of them aren't based on books anymore (barring Casino Royale) because they mostly ran out, and the tech used is so far advanced from what Flemming could have predicted. And each actor has had a different interpretation of the character, with none really nailing the book Bond (not that they should, really).

The Resident Evil movies might not take the gold in the contest, but they definitely medal. They're so far from where they started that actual references to the source material are basically easter eggs.

Sort of. The book is sincere and the movie is satire. Heinlein was a bad person.

At this point the RE games, even prior to 7, are basically 100% tongue in cheek camp with some genuinely good scares sprinkled in. RE6 ends with the main villain's son suplexing a giant monster to death and escaping the self-destructing laboratory riding a service elevator barely outpacing a fiery explosion with a soft rock ballad playing in the background while RE7 is a soft reboot of sorts that both go back to the series' roots of exploring a creepy, scary mansion with very limited resources and also has story DLC where you're supposed to find food for one of the main antagonists' birthday dinner and all the horrible maimed fungus monsters are wearing silly party hats
