The toys you got free in your happy meal explode across the screen as the loosening of FCC regulations on marketing directly to children is now a major motion picture! And the now grown-up targets of that marketing once again obeyed their overlords, turning Transformers into the loudest hit of the year! Shia LaBeouf (from the German meaning “diffident steak”) stars alongside Megan Fox, who certainly lives up to her name (she looks like a Megan)!
Optimus Prime (which the Feds just raised by a quarter point) battles the evil Decepticons led by the eviler Megatron for control of the Allspark, which is possibly the silliest thing ever conceived by man. It’s the most fun you’ll have watching toys, at least until Mr. Potato Head: The Motion Picture hits the theaters (Jack Black is in talks to star).

BTW, Chris and Brian, you guys should plug the book “Not Just Cartoons- Nicktoons” by Jerry Beck. On the section for Invader Zim, there’s some comments written by our own TV’s Frank Conniff.
I watched Transformers with the RiffTrax last night… this one’s a real winner I think, although the movie is so long (two and a half hours!) and so BAD that it’s really painful to get through. Leave it to Michael Bay to add a lame-ass snarky government agent wearing a superhero undershirt and novelty silk boxers (not to mention an excuse for him disrobing) working for an excessively fictional organization to a damn Transformers movie. It really is a rich stew of loathing.
