[Jake Cassidy]

I don't even like real critics.

nowadays any jackass with a webcam and an internet connection thinks they are a "critic"

I wish to slap those people

I hate youtube people so much. Just cause you have a webcam doesn't make you a "critic" It makes you full of s**t!

Like I care on what a 12 year has to say about some movie franchises that are older then they are. Mainly talking about horror movies and such and remakes. I'm just thinking wait until you drop your balls and get some hair before talking like a big boy.

I agree. I've been running my film site for 2 years now and would never I consider myself a critic.

I hear that. No one person has the same thoughts and should neither listen to them without seeing something their self.

 

[SpiderByte]

I'd like to be a film critic when I grow up. I get paid to like things and make fun of them!

That or a website owner. Probably comic related.

its easier to criticize than to create...you'd think these people with enough time to nitpick a movie for hours would take their cams and go make their own movies

I have no problems with critics. If you can find a critic with the same taste as you, it can be helpful, especially for people who can't decide between two films. Critics are not for everyone. I don't follow any, but if every critic is bashing a film, less chance I'll see it, depending on the film. If it's something like Transformers, I'll go see it no matter what, but let's say it's something like Robin Hood and every critic was bashing it, then less chance I'll go see it.

Film reviewer would be a better job!

Those are the same people who ***** about remakes and lack of original stuff. And then I say if you don't like it, then do something about it and create your own stuff.

Then they usually give me some BS excuse. Its usually the people who can't do something themselves who complain about others work.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Yeah, mate.

I don't criticise things I know I can't do myself.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

as much as i don't really want it... thats the only way i can see it working plot wise...

how so? I really don't see "killing her off" making any sense whatsoever, and coming off as nothing but cheesy, corny, forced, whatever you want to call it. Killing off characters is one of the most played out ways of getting rid of characters due to actor/actress problems.

not a snowball's chance in hell you can convince me otherwise

it's just stupid

Okay, let's all come up with a different way of working Mikaela's absence into the story then.

Like for example: "The Decepticons "befriend" a group of terrorists (the Autobots have the military), who will help them think of truly sinister ways to get to the Autobots, and their allies. So at the start of the movie Sam could learn, that Mikaela has been kidnapped, and her character stays kidnapped for the duration of the story. Something bigger/global can be going on in the meanwhile, involving the Transformers, so the audience is left "hanging" (about her character) in the end, but because they haven't seen her throughout the film, it makes it kind of bearable."

Who says there have to be only three movies right?

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

^see, something original and out of the ordinary like that needs to be written for Mikaela's absense.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

There should be TF movies until Peter Cullen can't do Optimus' voice anymore.

as far as i can see, she's not appearing AT ALL in the movie... not even as a quick cameo to round off her role... so killing her off between movies would be the best way, IMHO, to remove her from the movie.

 

[dark_b]

^ Yeah, mate.

I don't criticise things I know I can't do myself.

so noone on this planet that never directed a movie should never say anything negative about movies?

 

[BlackLantern]

No...if its clear she isn't going to be around, the simplest way to get that across to the audience is to kill her....preferably off screen

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

and how's that not going to come off as cheesy or forced?

they need to get creative with it, plain and simple

 

[BlackLantern]

why?? the character really isn't worth the time the writers would spend on it

I say have her killed in a Decepticon attack at the start of the film and time jump to a year later

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

If it takes them that long to come up with an adequet reason for her departure, then they're not fit to be writers. Just a simple reasoning that's not so played out and been there, done that

you're really making it out to seem like more of a task than it actually is. I will NOT support part 3 if all they do is "kill her off". Blah, too obvious and it comes off as lazy writing, as there would be no writing involved.

I'm really not seeing your logic for it

I say have her killed in a Decepticon attack at the start of the film and time jump to a year later

do you seriously have any clue as to how rushed and ridiculous that sounds?

glad you're not writing these movies

Dan Didio? Is that you?

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

that even reminds me of a Family Guy episode in which they spoofed M*A*S*H* in a quick five second clip by having Brian portray one of the characters walking into a tent with a letter in hand, explaining to the room that (so and so was on a plane that went down a few hours ago, there were no survivors), in which the point they were trying to get across was how much of a "cop out" it is that that particular show continously "kills off characters" when they have actor/actress issues.

regardless how you cut the cookie, how you slice the pie, it's still the same procedure. A cop-out in replace of creative writing

at least I'm not shoving her into a refridgerator....

I'm sure with Bay at the helm, she'll have a dignified and respectful exit

I'm not going to get spun up about whatever they do because I don't care enough about her

 

[Dr Lee]

Whatever happens is almost certainly gonna happen off screen.... and after all the sappy stuff between the two in ROTF... a simple off screen break-up won't work IMHO

Having her die is cliche'd and done to death, no pun intended.... but, under the circumstances (Megan possibly not coming back at all, even for a cameo to die on screen or anything)... I think it COULD be the better option than just have her gone with barely a mention....

that is just my opinion... and i respect that you have another. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree over this.
