I wasn't talking about how good it was as a Transformers movie - I never really saw the old cartoons etc, don't know anything about them except there was a Kick Axe track on the original movie soundtrack.

I just thought as a film it was a complete bag of shite.  :P

Me too (Bumblebee was my favourite). I liked the film as well.

Philly - which is your favourite Transformer? You must have one!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Ah... we're back on to transformers again are we? Ceriatone vs ...?

What was this thread originally about btw? :lol:

Do you know what I'm thinking - it's not a thread at all, it doesn't belong here or in Time Out or whatever - it's actually the idea for a new category under "At the Back":

Time Out
The Dressing Room
That is Not Fair
The place for off-topic "off-topic "off-topic"" rants, raves, and attempts to wind each other up

The dead one.  I don't know which one it was because they all looked exactly the same.

And I don't know when it got killed, because all the fight scenes looked like a big ball of crushed-up cars being rolled down a hill and filmed in extreme close-up.

A chap I work with said he didn't like the Transformers movie because "it wasn't very realistic".  :|
I wasn't sure how to respond to that.

the transformers thing is profoundly off topic! but since you guys started it... ;)

i kinda enjoyed it as a really dumb movie, but it should have been so much better.  like philly says, they did all look much the same, and the fight scenes were a confusing mass of twisted metal.  which pretty much describes the look they gave the actual transformers! why do megatron and starscream in particular look like collections of random lumps of scr@p steel?  really, whoever designed the thing should be shot slowly to death.

(for the uninitiated, being shot slowly means you start by blowing off a little toe, then another toe, well, i think you can see where it would go from there :) )

oh, on topic, yes, PRS and Gibson are both ridiculously expensive.  Caparisons are crazy expensive!  and Mesa amps are insane, generally at least double the price they are in the states.  can someone explain to me how the new PRS Mira X is a "budget" version when the list price is over £1700?

It doesn'y say who's budget, maybe Mr Stanfords, or the guy from Madoff Securities?

The all-new, affordable (to crooks) PRS Mira X!

I can't really understand why it should be more expensive than the regular Mira, unless "sipo mahogany" and "African basswood" cost more than regular mahogany.  :?

Price rises across the board on all PRSs means the Mira X is probably going to be about £1000.  Same as the old one was, which will probably be around £1200 now...

I liked the Transformers movie. OK, the story isn't all that but the CGI was amazing. I liked the more organic styling of the robots. They look like machines who have evolved as a species.
