I think Transformers just offended me with the first movie. The plot was horrible--since when does a human dopey kid become the best one to protect something while all the robots defend him? Who came up with that idiotic "Life Spark" crap? Why were GM and ebay in my face every five seconds. The humour was juvenile and puerile, and it just left me cold. "robot porn" indeed.
But for some reason the action/CGI heavy, brain-on-hold look of GI Joe is more appealing to me. Maybe anything not directed by hack Bay gets a pass. Maybe the action, for all its hype--dig those exosuits!--still seems less frenetic than the Transformers. don't know , but looking forward to it. And I must say, I'm amazed what black hair and a leather costume do for Sienna Miller, who I've always just thought was okay. But in that Baroness getup--wow! I never did get the American fascination for blondes over brunettes. The latter are endlessly more fascinating, sultry, and alluring! :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2009 1:48:12 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "G.I.

Sounds like a fun popcorn movie that never tries to be any more than that. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Aubrey Leatherwood <aubrey.leatherw...@...> wrote: > > > Still.... going.... to.... see it ... > > > > :-D > > Aubrey Leatherwood > www.aubreyleatherwood.com > FaceBook * MySpace Imperfection > A tale of perfect commitment, perfect love... and perfect sex. > The People You Know, The Sex They Have > ROMANTIC TIMES NOMINEE FOR BEST CONTEMPORARY EROTICA 2008 > ISBN: 978-0-9818905-0-0 > > > > > > > > > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com > From: truthseeker...@... > Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 07:57:12 -0400 > Subject: [scifinoir2] "G.I.
