Does Transformers 2 really suck?

For those who have seen Transformers 2, can anyone tell me if it is like the first one as far as fondling the testes of the U.S. Army? I walked out of that and felt like I'd just sat through a 2 hour advertisement for the American Military. Also, I think some of the disappointed people (rottentomatoes.com has it at about 38%) aren't necessarily expecting a character drama so much as a cohesive, semi-sensical plot. Well, i should say as sensical a plot as you can have while including hundred foot robots. For those who argue that a movie like this doesn't need a plot to be decent, all we need to do is look at other michael bay films.

Exhibit A: The Rock- Definitely Bay's best film, we have lambourghinis racing hummers through San Francisco, Sean Connery being a badass, crazy nerve gas, missiles, football stadiums, national secrets, and an incredibly drawn out runtime. But the plot is cohesive and compelling.

Exhibit B: Bad Boys II- This one had hummers driving through cuban shanty towns, Will Smith being badass, comical references to the KKK, Nelly singing 'shake a tail feather', an incredibly drawn out runtime, and no plot whatsoever. I challenge anyone-other than Moe, who will just start talking about how much he loves will smith- to watch that movie and tell me the script wasn't written by a doped up 13-year-old. My point is that Bay is the best in the business at making big, dumb and incredibly entertaining and quotable pieces of deliciousness, but he needs some sort of stick to wrap all that cotton candy around. Otherwise your hands get all sticky. I haven't seen this yet, but it'll be too bad if there's no cohesiveness.

OH YEAH!!

By the way, the judge dismissed joey's trespassing ticket!
So sometimes justice does prevail.
However he was then arrested for *********....

Joey will be writing special reports about not ******* for the first time in 5 years. That is, if he doesn't go insane and kill us all first.

No ____ and no ____ make joey go _____.

Wow, we're sorry

Ok, so it's been a really long time. School intervened on our writing, and left us dumb, confused and gasping for alcohol; that sweet elixir of escape from the pressures of the world. But now we're back! I dropped a class, Joey got used to class, there's only one more month of class, so we'd better start writing again before you all forget about us.

Lets get some housekeeping stuff out of the way first...
To all of you who attended the BirthdayBASHX4 on Saturday, thanks so much for coming. Especially the musicians-yall put on a great show. And thank you Novie for the Hop Knot keg.

A subnote on the birthday bash... why did so many folks get preggers right around June 31st way back in 1986? I looked up the numbers here, (actually a pretty interesting story) and birthrates are exactly contrary to what we see with our friends. Nationally they dip in April and are highest in August... Weird. Maybe there was an orgy. In any case, happy birthday again to

any others I forgot.

To all of you who didn't manage to make it to the shitshow, we'll be throwin another one come graduation or whenever we get bored, and you're welcome to come along. Whoever stabbed the knife into my wall is not welcome though.

Things to look forward to:
We'll be doing a series over the next couple weeks on how not to pick up girls in different social situations. As people who have a lot of experience not picking up women, we thought it was the least we could do for the world.
We'll be looking at:
Coffee Shops
Classrooms
Bars
Parties
Restaurants
And with a special report from teh nov: The Light Rail
