Various Transformers Do Things, Crap Explodes
Here’s a new clip of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen from the MTV Movie Awards. I was going to compliment it by saying the clip seemed agreeably tense, with the Fox and the Beef hiding from the Decepticons in… uh… some Middle Eastern village, but then the Beef pulled the head off a robot bug and the big robots freaked out and I couldn’t tell who any of the robots were anyways and then one of the buildings seemed to explode for no fucking reason whatsoever.
Still looks better than G.I. Joe, at least.
