Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Movie Review
Neoavatara ^ | June 29, 2011 | Neoavatara

Posted on 06/29/2011 6:54:11 AM PDT by Neoavatara

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third in the Transformers series, is in some ways the perfect summer movie. A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.

The movie starts with a basic concept: that the space race in the Cold War was focused on reaching the moon first, not for its scientific achievement, but to obtain alien technology that both the Soviets and Americans secretly knew had crashed on the dark side of the moon millenia ago. Americans, led by Neil Armstrong, get there first...but keep the information hidden.

“A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.”

Reminds me of the 2008 election.

I think that I am probably like most FReepers in that I come to THIS forum to read articles and comment on them. If you want FReepers to read your “articles” and comment on them, either post them in their entirety, or post much more than the snippet that you posted.

Your review may be very good and very informative, but probably very few FReepers will know one way or the other because for many of us it is very annoying to have to click out to some other site to read the article. I suspect that you would generate more interest in, and traffic to, your site by posting the entire article rather than an excerpt.

FRegards.

I do like the concept and will see this movie, I just wish they would not muddle actual astronauts in the plot.

Optimus Prime is great. Up there with Captain Kirk, Indian Jones and Han Solo.

I would research the above for the legal implications before you do post such.

Or is your true purpose to get Jim Robinson and FreeRepublic.com in more legal trouble?

My, my. Looks like the anti-blogging, thread-hijacking zombies are out in force this morning.

I, for one, don’t mind if you only post a snippet. Then I can decide for myself if I want to click through. Neither my mouse, nor my finger is broken.

And frankly, I think that bloggers are the first line of defense for free speech in this era, despite their many detractors around here. But then I suppose there were people who wanted to tar and feather Sam Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere and Tom Paine as well.

Keep it up.

(And I am really looking forward to the movie. I don’t look for much of a story in the Transformers franchise, but the roller coaster ride is always an e-ticket.)

LOL. Now that is definitely the post of the day. (But hey, it's early yet.)

thanks for review. My son was a big transformer (toy) enthusiast & his birthday is in a few weeks & I hope to be with him in NC. We will go to this movie & I already have the two other flicks (one & two) that I will probably send him ahead of time & will give him a large “bumblebee” transformer. He is 39 but still a kid (like many of us)

The trailers look awesome!

About ten or so years ago, there was an Army private that legally petitioned to have his name changed to “Optimus Prime”. He said his toy version brought him great joy and refuge as a child and he wanted to honor OP. Crazy.

Jim Rob on the topic of bloggers:

"Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).

Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.

So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.

This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

If the poster wrote it himself, nothing prevents his posting it here.

He ain’t goint to sue himself.

And the tripe won’t be read otherwise.
Most folks here are smart enough not to be tricked into providing blog hits.
