Still haven't settled down but I've been doing some art out of pure need.

Today though I broke down and saw Transformers 2. Thankfully before the theater was entirely packed too, though there was a good crowd anyway. Overall I liked this one better then the first though the things I didn't like were mostly the same as with the first movie. The characters I was excited over really seemed underused. First they make Sideswipe a Chevy...then silver...then give him almost no lines while the comic relief twins wont turn off for a few minutes. Not to mention the other added characters really seemed to be background pieces. Not that the cartoon didn't do those sorts of things though with the movie being shorter it was more noticeable. If anything though the Decepticons needed more interaction. While Starscream and Megatron get more then the one liner lip-service of the first movie the other cons just seem to appear and disappear. On the plus side since I can actually hear Starscream speaking... I really do like his voice in this one, much like the original (which I liked) if it were just less screechy. In fact the bot voices all seemed pretty good to me.

Certainly a worthwhile movie to spend your time with.

And now back to my precious work.
