the current summer blockbuster film "transformers" vs the widely anticipated book finale "harry potter and the deathly hallows"
let's start with the kid with the goofy glasses and the lightning bolt scar on his head. i spent an evening at my local barnes and noble reading this book and i only have three words to describe it: what a mess. granted that i've only read half of the book (or was it? i can't tell, it has too many pages!) i already noticed the same writing style as in the previous two books. they were both, how shall i say in the most non-offensive way possible, retarded. also granted that the first thing i decided to read when i picked it up was the last chapter titled "epilogue: 19 years later" did not help either. but hey, i don't care. hopefully the book picks up into something awesome, i.e. harry potter shoots big bad voldemort in the face...with a real gun. i have to say that, the thing that got me excited the most was the fact that the main color for the book cover was orange. i was like walking into the entrance, thinking "ok the tower of harry potter books should be right in my face when i walk in...omg orange! awesome!!" because orange is a pretty awesome color, especially the burnt kind. for any fan of this wizardly series, the newest edition would surely complete your rainbow collection of reading materials. let me rephrase that since it probably didn't make much sense. if you want to buy it, get it where they sell it for super cheap. and be prepared to spend many hours reading the "last" harry potter book, just to find out that a giant meteor comes from outer space and everybody dies.
recently, i had the most wonderful opportunity to watch robots take the shape of various types of machinery and jump kicking the crap out of each other on the big screen in digital projection. to not only sum it up in three words, but in three phrases: best movie ever, so f---ing insane, and criminals are hot. in the first 10 minutes there was already stuff exploding everywhere, and whenever something explodes, it's awesome! just the fact that a pontiac solstice is able to transform into a ten foot tall robot of destruction while breakdancing, or any other robotic transformation, is utterly amazing. i've heard some reviews saying that the movie was really not that great because it lacked a good storyline. you know what i think? who needs a storyline when you have gigantic robots wrecking havoc all around town. complete chaos > complex story. pirates of the caribbean had an intricate plot and look how that turned out. like retarded i tell you. spiderman 3 tried to have numerous stories in it also, but it came out completely jacked up. james bond: casino royale was, well that just went down hill with that whole love story ordeal. simplicity can be a good thing for action movies, and transformers did it best. transformers: the most entertaining summer 07 movie ever.
