0 Comments

We haven’t mentioned much about it, mainly because everything Michael Bay has ever done has been complete and utter wank, but apparently those fucking awful Transformers films did quite well. So well in fact that there’s a third helping of robo-shite about to be heaped onto steaming cinema screens everywhere. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Anyway, here’s the first trailer for Transformers: Dark of the moon, wherein we find out that Hasbro’s favourite son’s (and daughters -can’t forget the fashionably pink Arcee after all) have been lurking about on the moon for years. For some reason…

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

One day in and Slashing The Seats attends its first red carpet premiere. We’re feeling particularly pleased with ourselves. We’re dicks. Really.

Confession time. I am a Transformers fan. Not an ‘oh – Transformers – they’re cool’ fan. An ‘I can quote the entire animated movie verbatim and sing all the songs on the soundtrack’ fan. A ‘proud owner of an original mint-in-box Generation 1 Megatron with tech spec reader’ fan. An ‘own several badly photocopied fan produced comics that feature obscure characters only seen in Japan’ fan.
