I generally concur with Par on the Transformers thing. It's worth going to see despite the issues the movie has. For me, this was mostly glaring plot inconsistencies and an original storyline. For the most part, if you ignore any scene involving predominantly human characters, it's a good movie. Though, it unfortunately lacks much of the cartoon series' uniquities. I would have liked to have seen more tribute given to the cartoon. Go see it, turn your brain off for two hours and enjoy.

Hey Everyone- so i know this is far away- but i was thinking it would be fun to go camping on August 18th? Any takers???

I was thinking of going to castor AB. I heard there is a really good party there that night. So i am going to look into booking some camp sites, if anyone else would like me to book them one, please let me know asap. i am going to try and get to the grounds by the hall.

thanks

Actually, Transformers was really entertaining, I thought. Doesn't stick to the original story at all, and there are no soundtrack performances by Stan Bush, but they did a fairly good job with it. Shia LaBeouf, despite my intention to leave the theatre thinking otherwise, did a good job.

AD can voice his own opinion on this, but I'd say it's worth watching.

Holy crap this is insane:

Today [former senator Gary Hart] told me that in the first few meetings [of the "U.S. Commission on National Security in the 21st Century," of which Hart was a co-chair], commission members would go around the room and volunteer their ideas about the nation's greatest vulnerabilities, most urgent needs, and so on.

At the first meeting, one Republican woman on the commission said that the overwhelming threat was from China. Sooner or later the U.S. would end up in a military showdown with the Chinese Communists. There was no avoiding it, and we would only make ourselves weaker by waiting. No one else spoke up in support.

The same thing happened at the second meeting -- discussion from other commissioners about terrorism, nuclear proliferation, anarchy of failed states, etc, and then this one woman warning about the looming Chinese menace. And the third meeting too. Perhaps more.

Finally, in frustration, this woman left the commission.

"Her name was Lynne Cheney," Hart said. "I am convinced that if it had not been for 9/11, we would be in a military showdown with China today."

So was transformers as disappointing as I fully expect it to be?

Er... sorry, thats from the CBA rules on making offers to RFAs.
