I survived.
Quick update for those of you who may have been concerned after reading last night's posting: Yes, I did finally watch Michael Bay's Transformers. I survived with my sanity more or less intact. More detailed commentary to come in the future, but for now I'll leave you with this much:
I was surprised. Michael Bay's previous movies have managed to offend me both aesthetically and as a human being in general, to make me cringe at horrible ham-fisted storytelling "techniques" and ridiculous characters spouting the lamest dialogue, and even to make me physically ill (from all the spinny fast-cut arbitrary editing). But this movie managed to do something no Michael Bay movie has ever done before.
It bored me.
(In addition to all those other things listed above as well.)
