> Me neither, and I never had any desire to until I saw the trailer for this movie which had me in stitches. I know it's Michael Bay, but... "Oh, it's the negroes!" is one of the best lines ever.

Reminds me of the best line in Blazing Saddles: "Where da white women at?"

People liked the first movie for two reasons, and they're both on Angelina Jolie's chest.

... Says the guy who was getting his skirt all bunched up a while ago when I was ripping on video game movies. Not that I disagree - video game movies suck. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make fun of you. Especially since the next words out of your mouth are going to be:

> > July 25 - Seabiscuit
>
> Oh, but the title is weird what does it mean? It's not like it's the name of one of the most famous horses ever and a best-selling novel or anything.

Which seems to contain way less sense of humour than I've come to expect from you. Besides, like I know a damn thing about horses or books about horses. That's what Leen's for. ;-}

> YES YES YES!!! The only bad thing about this movie is that it's sort of like another "Nightmare" film, which sucks because that series ended so well. I can't get enough Jason, though. I hope this movie makes a billion dollars and then Fox makes "Alien vs. Predator." Just so long as "Robocop vs. Terminator" doesn't happen...

What would be wrong with that? I mean, besides the "horrible mismatch" thing. I'm all for movies that pit classic movie characters against each other in pointless combat, if only because it's the only genre of film I can think of offhand that is automatically good for a laugh no matter what's done with it. ;-}
