usually if you say happy April Fool's day to me or play any sort of insipid prank or, you know, enjoy this day at all, i maim you. but this is actually pretty freaking funny.

unfortunately, i haven't had time to watch anything good (last month's Knight Rider remake does NOT count as good). so instead of ranting and raving and cursing about movies, i will rant and rave and curse about comic books. in my quest to read all things Deadpool, i've gotten up to #11 in his series and almost choked to death laughing while i read it.

basically, Wade and Blind Al get thrown back in time because Doorman (from the Great Lakes Avengers) activates his teleporter at the same time Deadpool does, both of them trying to save Blind Al. DP and Al are sent to the early days of Spiderman (circa 1967) and have a grand ole time futzing with the space/time continuum. Wade uses his image inducer to pose as Peter and makes up Al to look like Aunt May after they knock her unconscious and he sends Spidey on a wild goose chase in Jersey. In the present, Weasel works with the GLA to get them both back. hilarity ensues.

it's hysterical how they poke fun at the GLA and all of the Spidey cast. here. look. at. the. funny. fergit that. i know i'm not supposed to do this, but there are just too many funny pages. here's the whole thing. knock yourselves out.

see how i like to pretend someone is reading this. ha ha hardy har.

so. Transformers. yeah. saw it on saturday. it was the motherfucking shizzney. in fact, if i can scrounge together another seven bucks, imma see it again. because it's that good. i could sit here and write out one of those article/essay deals i tend to do about these types of movies but srsly, my heart ain't in it right now. so. here's a quicky wrap up with no spoilers:

Shia LeBeouf: spastic fantastic.
the hot dark haired chick: hot but too sweaty and for some reason she didn't get cool until the make up people stopped lacquering her with lip gloss.
military peeps: bad asses with the hotness. josh duhamel put on his best Timothy Olyphant face for this one.
hacker extraordinaires: unnecessary, even the cute blond chick. they would have done better to put some clothes on that girl, it would have been more believable.
animation: O.M.F.G. ILM is god's paintbrush. i'm talking SEAMLESS cgi. it was beautiful.
Autobots: Transformations-*supersonic squeal* if you watched Transformers as a kid you will not be disappointed. they did it all right. all of it. down to the last detail of Jazz's little breakdance move when he transforms. i think i might be in love with Peter Cullen's voice. also, they updated the way they talk but not who they are, which is fucking cool and very smart. they were witty and spoke in contemporary vernacular that didn't seem forced or pretentious. of course, everyone was upset about Bumblebee not being a VW Bug but they poke fun at that in the movie and the camaro thing worked out. as did Optimus being a Peterbilt and Jazz being a Solstice. in the end, which cars they were didn't really matter all that much cuz you just wanted to watch them transform into robots again anyways.
Decepticons: the badassery runs rampant here even though you don't get to see very much of them. Megatron is voiced by Hugo Weaving and is a fiend and it's lovely. that's the only thing they fucked up though. they could have done the the helmet head but they didn't. they went with a Predator look instead. Starscream doesn't get enough camera time but they do show what a badass he is. they misnamed Brawl "Devastator" (which was actually what the Constructicons were called when they merged into a superbot). and Soundwave was notoriously lacking but at least they got Frenzy in there. Rumble would have been the shit though.
The Sound: if you watched the cartoon then you know what Sound i'm talking about. it was allllmost right. almost. it started off right and then it went sort of left field at the end. instead of WEE-WOO-WOO-WEE-WEEEK. it went WEE-WOO-WOOP-WAAAahh-wahhhh.
Plot: a wee bit confusing at times but the point of it came through. for some reason they decided to call the matrix "the all spark". there are some rushed moments at the end where most people realize this shit just wouldn't go down like that, but giant alien robots, *shrug* what are you gonna do.
Soundtrack: well here's another movie that breaks my theory of bad movie=good soundtrack (the only other film is The Crow). there's some oldies but goodies in there and some new Disturbed, Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, The Used.. oh hell, here, go download it.

on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being like, Elektra; 10 being, i don't know, Spiderman) i'd give Transformers an 9.75 easy. see it in the theater, you won't be sorry.

time for lunch.
