A vase full of spanners

"I feel like a plumber at a flower show " -- Glen Hansard (of the Frames) on attending the Oscars and winning the Best Song Award for "Falling Slowly" from "Once" which he wrote and co-stared with Markéta Irglová.

free movies

When you see an advert titled See the 'Transformers' movie for free! you know there has to be a catch...

And there is.

Unless you want to go to Balbriggan, Carlow, Clonakilty, Enniscorthy, Lifford, Longford, Monaghan, Naas, Westport or Youghal, you don't need apply.

Of course a certain blogger already got to see it for free.

Me? Jealous? Oh yeah!
I'm planning for a Sunday viewing.

Even if the toys are better

I mentioned before that I was looking forward to the toys from the Transformers movie.

I called in to Smyths and saw the following...

Yup the movie toys have started to come out.

Which means the "stop gap" classics line is finished. So I'll have to use eBay to search for Mirage, Grimlock and the other 2 waves of minicons which was supposed to come out over here.

Not even Optimash makes up for it... see


Why do I hear a wallet crying?

Transforming

Personally I'm glad that the new Transformers movie (the International trailer, with different jokes to the US one). Not for the actually movie. Blarneyman points out that the script (or at least the first draft) is a load of... blarney.

However, I've see the toys based on the movie. Just look at the new Optimus Prime which will be hitting the shelves in the US on June 2, despite the fact that some of them are on sale already.

I want. I want. Needless to say, you probably don't want to see the toys, which are of Alternator quality, if you don't want spoilers.

However could someone let me know which toys are going to be on sale in Ireland so I don't have to do the e-bay search again?

p.s. I don't know if the musician Deceptikon has anything to do with the toys

Less than meets the eye

It appears that the live action Transformers Movie saved a bit too much on the budget if this clip is anything to go by.

Thanks to Aaron Williams for the link

take care,

6 by 300

300 does the same visual thing as "Sin City" apart from the CGI budget being spent on 6 packs

Yeah, I want one of those

All you need do is hire a crack team of visual effects people and make sure that every photo of you is superimposed with their handwork.
Should that be crack or cracked team?
