msfledermaus | And now, addressing the whole Transformers thing...

...I can't get away from the marketing for this movie. I remember transformers just fine as one of the many toys my brother bonked me on the head with at some point in my childhood. I look at the promos and think of all the "Whoosh! bam! RattarattarattaBing!"Boom! Pchoopchoopchoo!" noises he used to make with them. Can't help it. I honestly didn't care that much about them when I was a kid, and now that they're trying to sell us cars I'm even less interested...

Though I know at least one building downtown that is definitely a big fat Transformer. It's got the robot face and everything, leering at the city and waiting, patiently waiting for it's chance to bust loose and smash things up.
I think you all know the building I'm talking about...but just in case you don't, here's a hint: It's all the Matthew Barney sculptures inside that'll probably start the hideous mutation from Art Center to Scary City-Stomping Demon. Just remember, I warned you all. I did. You can't be too suprised when it finally happens...

and now I'm off to the Link in a caffeinated rush. Zoooooooooooom....
