Transformers 2

The other day Anna and I went to see Transformers 2 in spite of having read the io9 review: Michael Bay Finally Made An Art Movie. We were prepared for something special. The best I can say about the movie is that it was too loud for me to fall asleep.

If only I were lame

I think this video completely sums up Twitter. Either that or I’m just not cool. Anna votes for option number 2.
