Looking back to when the audio for “Maniac” first dropped, Tinsley suggested listeners may need to be on one in order for the song to be fully absorbed. Surely by now your brain is spinning either from the slew of music released or on a Halloween sugar high. Perfect setup to watch Cudi and Cage starring as two deranged killers Read the rest of this entry »

The ubiquity of TMZ is so ridiculously high, one could speculate that they’re some axis power who conspires to start trouble just so they can present it to us. Regardless, our entertainment is better for it. They recently got wind of a bar fight in Vancouver that involved Transformers star, Shia LaBeouf. Read the rest of this entry »

I love everything Transformers. Like so many others, the shape-shifting robots played a major part in my childhood and had me longing to be Optimus Prime when I grew up. Given my obsession with all things Autobot, I expect big things whenever Michael Bay offers up a new entry for his Transformers saga, and I’m pleased to report that the latest entry in the series, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, had the little kid in me grinning from ear to ear.

Today is just Cudi’s day. First the new song this morning and now the video for “Marijuana,” directed and edited by Shia LaBeouf. Yes, Shia LaBeouf of Transformers fame and formerly of Disney’s Even Stevens leading Cudi’s ode to blowing haze from last year’s MoTMII album. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s hard to tell exactly when Transformers: Rise Of The F*ckery Fallen jumped the shark.

Maybe it was the dogsex, robots humping Megan Fox’s legs or the Transformer nuts clinging about. But if I had to wager a bet as to when exactly the movie dove into the unending abyss of incoherent kangaroo crap, I would say it was right around the time that Amos & Andytron tap-danced onto the scene.

The internet is going nuts right now over Skid and Mudflap, two Transformers that are so offensively stereotypical that Tyler Perry just got the rights to air 50 episodes of a sitcom about them for BET. The speak “urban.” One has a gold tooth. And at one point they even confess about their illiteracy. Good thing they scrapped the idea to have Skid transform into a Menthol cigarette dispenser.

But focusing on those robots (or 3/5ths of robots if you want to get technical) is letting the rest of the movie off the hook when there is so much more suck to discuss.

So with that said, here are 4 other reasons Transformers sucked:

The “Comedy” – One of the reasons I wasn’t a big fan of the first movie was the hour or so of downtime between the middle of the movie fight scene at the end. The writers of the sequel obviously didn’t agree with my opinion, so they decided to make the middle of the movie a seemingly endless barrage of potty jokes and puns fit for the straight to DVD release of American Pie 12: Who gives a piefuck? At one point, we got two male bare ass shots in about a minute that only made the movie crowd groan. Yea, I know I just got ass-raped for my 8 bucks, Michael Bay. No need to rub it in my face.
