Weekend roll call

[nkotb]

As a comic book geek, please take my advice to skip Spider-man 3 until DVD, and skip the Fantastic Four 2 forever.  You'll thank me later.

If you go, report back on whether there are any Radioactive Man comics left.

Tortoise and most likely BTS. I have 2 tortoise extras if anyone wants one.

Not the best Tortoise show last night, but the encore was great, esp. "Benway" and "Glass Museum"!

recap: saw transformers on friday night.  decent action flick, although there were two atrocious moments where the horrible acting/dialogue should have been edited out.  overall a decent summer blow'em-up flick.
 
 saturday i caught tortoise - meh.  didn't stay 'til the end, weren't engaging enough.  based on joe's comment above, maybe i bailed too early... during the day i watched snippets of live earth.
 
 off to BBQ and play with kiddies.  should be a hoot

Any word on the noise?  I've got to know...as geeky as it is, I won't commit to seeing it until I get the verdict.

which noise?  the decepticon's "network infiltration" noise, or the general transforming noise when they go from car/helicopter/whatever to robot, or the overall noise of the movie?  in regards to that last point, the movie was LOUD at time at the chinatown cinema.  there were moments i wished i had my etymotics with me!

[nkotb]

The general transforming noise.  Nothing beat making that noise as a kid and trying to change the toys in time.  You'd wind up sitting there "chit chewt chewt chewt"-ing for 20 minutes as you painstakingly made the 300 moves.

I have no doubt...but the thought of giant robots fighting has me a little geeked out, even though I'm sure it'll be turd city.  That, coupled with the nostalgia factor, have me itching to see it.
