You shouldn't worry either. I have seen Transformers 3 and I still don't get it. Like, how would we not notice that shit on the moon? And why was Megan Fox's character just brushed off?

[–]iLurkkkkk 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I feel like since the first question has a slightly more entertaining answer, I should answer the other one first.

Megan Fox slammed Michael Bay in an interview, saying that he was weird and whatnot, like in a stalker-killer kind of way, and that her acting skills were better than what the movie was allowing her to show. So, Michael replaced her with someone who was hot, could act, and - a bonus - had a lovely accent.

The first one...Well it's obvious. It's because it was on the DARK SIDE of the moon!

[–]run_like_a_cucumber 1 point2 points ago*

Technically its the FAR SIDE of the moon, it gets just as much light.

[–]Lixen 2 points3 points ago

Technically, it's the bright side of the moon. It gets more light! The closest side gets a fraction less light due to moon-eclipses!

[–]Karmaseeker 0 points1 point ago

actually, it's not really a clever joke or anything. OP had a question about Transformers. He needed a straight answer, and you can't have that on 4chan 'cause you might get a thousand of ~clever jokes but not an answer. The story is fake but the punchline "non-sequitur" question compells /b to give a straight answer to that question. Well played.

[–]SoInsightful 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

However, as Italy adopted its present age of consent before January 1, 2009, this change in Vatican policy does not affect the age of consent in Vatican City, which remains the same as that of Italy, 14.

The claim is sometimes made that "In the Vatican State, there is an equal age of consent set at 12 years of age", but this is incorrect.

[–]SchizophrenicSinner 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep.

Due to the fact that the mistake of age defense was so incredibly common (and often corroborated by the underage partner, even if untrue) that many states made legislative changes which make that defense either completely gone or at least almost impossible to prove.

This is true. I read a case last year about a dude with down syndrome who had sex with a 16 year old girl after she and all of her friends told him she was 18. He was still found guilty and sent to prison.

Edit: Garnett v. State. Turns out he was 20 and she was 13, and her friends told him she was 16. Numbers were a little off but the point still stands.

16 in Australia I believe.

I've wondered before: if two kids younger than 16 fool around, who's the statutory rapist? - are they both charged? - what if they're gay/lesbian?

[–]Bluelegs 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think in Aus the idea is that if they are within two years of each other neither is charged, obviously if more than two years the older one is held accountable. This rule goes all the way down to the age of ten I believe, though I may be mistaken.

[–]shockednappalled 1 point2 points ago

At least in the U.S., I believe either can be charged legally but I had a male friend end up incarcerated for consensual oral sex with his girlfriend when they were both 15 after her parents found out.

[–]gerwalking 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's 16, but there are additional rules about how old the person you're having sex with can be (I wouldn't take this as fact, but I think they have to be under 21). Once you're 18 you can fuck a 70 year old though.

[–]Sloppy1sts 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, as long as one person is not older than 24, the other can be 16. Once one person hits 25, THEN the other must be 18.

Well, Storyline? Made no sense

Action gimics? Broken suspense of disbelief due to poor directing

Dialog: calling it Shit fuck stupid does not do it justice.

Transformer testicles: yes robots with balls, I seriously have a problem with this. Transformers are supposed to be awesome not retarded dick jokes.

Plot holes: Bigger than the plot.

I don't know how people would accuse me of "jumping on a bandwagon" for hating that movie, it was trash, Michael Bay has called it trash (not directly but he has made excuses for why it was so bad).

But what about any of what you said, that I agree with, is worse then the cartoon. Please tell me why it is ok to have fond memories of the cartoon(its dumb) if you havent seen it in the better part of 2 decades, but not ok to like giant robots beating the shit out of each other on a giant screen. The premise features robots choosing to hide discretly as robotic extinct creatures. why is the michael bays ass vomit worse than that?

[–]kewlball 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In all honesty, there was nothing wrong with the movies except there was too much of the human element. He chose the wrong characters to focus on. The bots were almost all the same characters they were in the cartoons, but it should have been their story, not Sams.

Although, Revenge of the Fallen did have ALOT of holes.

I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my g/f. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel arch.

Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I buy some stuff from the local auto shop and try to repair it myself?

you realize that holiday celebrations don't always necessarily fall on the actual indicated date? it may seem a little odd when it's referred to as "the fourth of july" rather than, say, independence day, but it's fairly common. my family usually celebrates it at multiple events held by different people on different days.

[–]notbookies 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh come on, they're technically not good films, but as far as strictly entertainment goes, I don't think they're near as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

Disclaimer: Haven't seen 3 yet.

[–]kinggimped 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I want to agree with you so badly, my good sir.

Thing is, I'm pretty happy watching a shitty film so long as it entertains me for the duration. The Core is a great example of this - the premise is ridiculous, the science is hilariously bad, and the script is hideous throughout. Yet it's still entertaining. Same thing - as hesitant as I am to say it - with Armageddon. Oh, it's a shit movie, but as a spectacle it's undeniably entertaining.

The saving grace of the Transformers movies should be the special effects and the action scenes. Nobody gives a soft shite about Shia Leboeuf ham-fistedly douching through his lines, or whatever slut is Megan Foxing this time around; I'm there to see fucking robots scrapping until one of them is literally scrap metal.

Only, it doesn't work. Even for somebody like me who is lucky enough to have 20/20 vision, every time 2 robots start fighting I am utterly fucking mystified as to what in blue sodomy is happening on screen. All I can see is metal rolling across the screen like some kind of retarded robotic tumbleweed. I have no idea which robot is which, who's good and who's bad. It's just a blur of metallic shit. Katamari in a scrapyard.

So, given that the thing so often touted as the only reason to watch a Transformers movie is not actually in itself worth watching, the entire franchise for me will forever be mentally filed away in the same category as other movies with literally zero redeeming features, like 2012, Daredevil or Alien vs Predator 2 (seriously, what the actual fuck was AvP2?).

Disclaimer: also haven't seen 3. Please don't make me.

[–]kinggimped 2 points3 points ago*

This is the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me on Reddit. Thanks.

I actually got to 10,000 comment karma without referencing a single meme or even once karma whoring. I went for a quality approach. Fairly proud of that.

Have to admit though, once I hit 10,000 I stopped being such a purist. Too much effort. The main thing that originally attracted me to Reddit over other social bookmarking sites was the excellence of the comment threads. Yes, the quality is definitely diluted these days, but there's still plenty of great insight if you're prepared to wade through the endless memes, pun threads, Reddit in-jokes and general circlejerking. My comment history has plenty of novella-length posts that only ever got 3 upvotes.

Don't lose hope, notbookies. We can all do our best as individuals not to fall victim to the incessant lowest common denominator dick hopping that goes on around here. Sure, we'll get buried under all the shit and only ever get 5 upvotes, but it's not the karma that matters.

Aaaand I think I've run out of pretentious things to say now.

On a totally serious note, try adding /r/truereddit and /r/depthhub to your frontpage, and getting rid of the default subreddits where the shit is rife (/r/pics, /r/funny, /r/politics, /r/reddit.com). If you do happent to miss anything after removing those subreddits, somebody inevitably will repost it to one of your subreddits for the karma.

Thanks for the disclamer at the end. 3 would resolve your visual problem as all of the action is clearly visible. It has by far the cleanest action scenes of the 3 movies. And there is a lot of action.

well i guess we can thank the 3d artists for trying to salvage something. but its like the titanic. the guys shoveling coal in the boiler room may well be really good at their jobs, but captain michael bay is still a fucktard, and that ship still fucking sank.

To be fair, the producers have a large part in why the movies are so bad.

What?

Transformers 3 was chock full of gratuitous explosions and visuals. Its one of those movies made for 3D.

[–]buckX 5 points6 points ago

No movie was made for 3D.

[–]SGMidence 1 point2 points ago

But remember that "letter to the projectionist" that was on the front page a few months ago? In that letter, didn't Michael Bay explicitly state that this movie was made for 3D?

[–]buckX 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't really care what Michael Bay states. :) Even Avatar, the go to example of good 3D, was better in 2D. (I watched it both ways)

[–]Squidnut 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is patently false. Transformers 3 was designed with 3D in mind, filmed in 3D, not used in a gimmicky style, etc., and it ended up being a great use of the medium.

Compare that to, say, Captain America, which was filmed in 2D then upconverted just because everything has to be 3D and the difference is obvious. All of the 3D effects look flat and out of place, disrupting the visuals rather than accenting them.

[–]buckX 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh, I realize it was intended to be 3D from the get go, but in terms of "one of those movies made for 3D", I've not yet seen a movie in 3D where I felt the 3D didn't degrade the experience, Avatar included.

17 is legal in Arkansas. There also would have to be more than her word for them to even press charges. 3d has diminished picture quality and higher price. Plus 3d sucks... Go 2d.

[–]Allurex 1 point2 points ago

My brain skipped the part about playing xbox, so instead I read: "I took a shit, killed her, then started teabagging her".

Which is somehow less weird than the actual story.

[–]riidu 1 point2 points ago

But but but.... the 3D version is the dimmer one (since you have to wear the stupid glasses), not the 2D!

[–]revchu 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This guy is an idiot, it's the 3D version that is dimmer, not the other way around.

[–]le_temps 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, they leave the 3D lens on in the theaters playing 2D movies, which results in less light, aka a dimmer movie. There was a story in the New Yorker, I think, about this.

Depends upon local laws and social norms. It actually used to be fairly common in past centuries, but has fallen out of fashion and into taboo with better understanding of DNA/Genetics and social stigmas.

Fairly often the limit is specified at 1st cousins once removed (same grandparent), but not everywhere.

anyways, wikipedia has more info

Seriously, can all of you just go browse 4chan instead of bringing it here?

[–]srs121 57 points58 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think you're missing the point. by this logic, we shouldn't post links to anything you could find by browsing another website. "seriously, can all of you go browse the internet instead of bringing it here?"

[–]saraaacrawford 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I seriously doubt many people could just go to 4chan and find this. Links don't stay up long there, unlike on reddit. And honestly, if everything that people complained about didn't get posted here not much would be on reddit. If you don't like posts like this, just hit the back button and move on. It's funny, and I probably wouldn't have found it myself had it not been posted here. /rant

It just a bit of copypasta, a repost of a repost of a repost. Hang around there for a day or two and you'll see the best.

[–]dusters 14 points15 points ago

You do understand that half the stuff that ends up here was posted on 4chan first right?

I love the interwebs like everyone else, but 4chan is not God like it thinks it is. 9 times out of 10 it's this without the Transformers bit; CP and rape threads, man.

What the fuck?! Jesus christ that's fucked up! Why the hell would anyone pay anything to see Transformers 3 in the first place? I mean, the first two were enormous steaming piles of shit, and it's been more than enough time for you to figure that out by now.

I will just never understand some people.

three dimensional and transforming.
or 2 dimensions of flat imaged movie watching
these are the choices.
what do dat heart want to watch?
does you have enough weed for a 3d movie?
is there a chance that this is poetry?
omnipresent and persistant melodies chime through the cosmos.
beckoning a rising air of missed opportunity.
this is a fantastic time to be reminded of this.
this is a fantastic time to be reminded of this.
this time is different.
we are all singing together in harmony.
moving our buns and breasts in accordance to the syllables of:
ooh ee. ooh ah ah. ting tang walla walla bing bang.
ooh ee ooh aah ting tang walla walla bing bang.
supple writhing in kinky horror.
my lover hands me the remote and asks:
"did we already miss the daily show?"
harken your bow tie to the comet of misfortune.
this is your destiny.
