The plot takes us to the junkyard of Cade Yeager (Wahlberg, looking contented in the way of an actor who knows this will be his last Transformers)

lol

did you know that the battle between Autobots and Decepticons started not at the Hasbro toy store, but back with the knights of the round table?!? Well, Anthony Hopkins sure does. The Oscar winner has been paycheck-persuaded to take on the role Sir Edmund Burton,

I can't wait till he tells us what a powerhouse film this is and how beautiful encapsulated our current culture is shown through the eye of the genius that is Michael Bay

He has almost transcended storytelling (which I wish he just embrace and stop wasting time on all this dumb plot exposition). It is just so beautifully filmed. Every shot is composed so impeccably. What an eye he has. At this point in their careers, I think Bay, Michael Mann, and Jean-Luc Godard are all of an ilk.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
