Saturday Random 10 (but really 20) IX: More Than Meets the Eye
Just got back from seeing Transformers, and it was adequately blockbusterish. A couple things , though:
1. Shia LeBouf ran and hid more than any movie hero I've ever seen. Well, maybe except for Frodo, but at least Frodo fought back once in awhile.
2. "One shall stand, one shall fall." Badass.
3. Megan Fox is really, really, really, really, really, really hot.
4. Sure, there was a transforming boom box, but it was no Soundwave, and that made me sad (he was always my favorite Decepticon).
5. **SPOILER** highlight to read:
The funniest part of the entire movie, to me anyways, was the fact that the ONLY Autobot to die was Jazz, the breakdancin', jive-talking black stereotype. Even in the Transformers' universe, the black guy's always the first one to go.
**END SPOILER**
All that being said, it was a movie about giant robots fighting, shooting and exploding. Not even Michael Bay could fuck up that formula.
Here's your Random!:
1. Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag
2. Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot
3. Oasis - Cigarettes & Alcohol
4. Primitive Radio Gods - The Rise and Fall of Ooo Mau
5. Fear Factory - Human Shields
6. Dream Theater - The Test That Stumped Them All
7. Michael Jackson - Man In the Mirror
8. Wilco - Theologians
9. Beck and the Flaming Lips - We Live Again (Live, KCRW)
10. Flogging Molly - Far Away Boys
11. Cowboy Bebop - Tank! (Power of Kung-Food Remix)
12. They Might Be Giants - Lie Still, Little Bottle
13. Cody Chesnutt - War Between the Sexes
14. Helmet - Drug Lord
15. 36 Crazyfists - Slit Wrist Theory
16. Ministry - Stigmata
17. Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Suave and Suffocated
18. Godsmack - Moon Baby
19. Devo - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
20. Handsome Boy Modeling Schoool (feat. Chino Moreno, El-P & Cage) - The Hours
There's a whole lotta kickass in this week's random! Jesus Christ...Ned's Atomic Dustbin AND Primitive Radio Gods?! I forgot I even put that on my hard drive! But still, Fear Factory, Ministry, Dream Theater...HELL YEAH!
Got an extra-special review coming up soon, hopefully by Monday.
ROCK ON!
