Took my mom to see Transformers yesterday. It was my third show. Each time I go, I notice something I missed. Like the goldfish scaring the crap out of Frenzy. LOL Too funny! Or Starscream heading the barrage on Megatron near the end. Sneaky guy...
And of course, there's the stuff that still makes me go, "WTF? Why?" Like Sam and Micheala making out on top of Bee's hood at the end while the rest of the bots are hanging out. Isn't that kinda creepy? I dunno, maybe Bee enjoys it. * ew *
The dialog of this movie is just horrendously bad, but it makes me laugh because it is so much like the cartoons. Galvatron, anyone? LOL That guy is my favorite Transformer ever--just because he was such a fucked up psychopathic manic killer. Anyone who has watched the episode where Cyclonus tricks him into going to a mental treatment facility knows this. Best. Episode. Ever.

"Rend! Mangle! Distort!"

But my favorite part is when they give Galvi a bunch of junk pieces to put together to help him "reconstruct his damaged psyche." He builds a gun and uses it liberally. I nearly peed myself laughing.
And then, as our mental monstrosity fails at responding to various treatment, someone thinks it might be a good idea to for him to act out his problems with other patients. And this folks, is why monkeys should never be shrinks. Things go badly--for everyone:
One of the other patients starts a nonstop, nails on chalk, screaming. This displeases Galvi, who is already pissed off he's tied up and on a planet full of monkeys who are trying to screw with his head.
"STOP IT! Stop that hideous noise!"
Little monster keeps screaming.
"You want to scream? I'll give you something to scream about!"
Everyone starts running.

By the end of the show, I feel kinda bad for Galvatron. I mean, he's so distressed he actually starts to beg Cyclonus to get him off the planet. He says, "please", which I actually had to watch a few times to believe it. The mad monkey shrinks decide that Galvi's only hope is a lobotomy via hungry, brain eating spiders (not joking) who are extensions of the planet they are on--or some shit like that. The spiders actually manage to start eating Galvi's brain, but it gives the planet a serious case of indigestion. Yes, Galvatron is so crazy, he made the planet go nuts.
But this isn't the end...Oh, no. Cyclonus frees Galvi and then begs for his life. He gets off with a punch in the face. Galvi has other things on his mind...like blowing up the Monkey's home.
"You cannot stop me. I am Galvatron! I am your destruction!" He yells this at the planet, then dives into a ravine. Cyclonus pretty much sums up what we are all thinking right about now with one neat sentence:
"He is crazy."

I'd love to see him the movieverse, but I think Galvi is waaaay to intense for the bigscreen.
