Especially if the eyeglasses are for astigmatism for a girl who hasn't really quite gotten used to them yet, and if the movie showing at said cinema was 90% explosions.

That being said, I'd never thought I'd see the day UP life would not coax enough side comments out of me to make a blog entry, and Transformers would. Then again, UP doesn't take itself seriously, which is probably why it's the best university in this country, and all the side comments to be made have usually already been made by someone else. The ones worth making, that is.

Optimus Prime owns the whole franchise. It doesn't matter how much of an idiot hero the hero is, or how they dealt with the politician whom, I'm sure, anyone with the slightest modicum of sense would have made an excellent Devil's Advocate out of, or how damn difficult it is to talk- whether that talking is being done by the characters on the screen or by the movie viewers in their soft seats- with all the kabooming going on. Well, yes, it does, but it doesn't matter quite as much when that shiny red and blue truck comes into view and opens its mouth to talk, and that's not even a figure of speech. The fact that he's the only one in the franchise who has some semblance of intelligence doesn't hurt. (Okay, so he's not the only one, but he's the only one who gets enough screen time. And honestly now, do you like seeing the Decepticon doctor stick stuff up our idiot hero's nostrils?

Aside from to see the idiot hero get what was coming to him for all the screaming and all the I-just-want-to-be-a-normal-kid monologues, I mean?)
