Hey, you know what happens if you hit play on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Transformers: Dark of the Moon at the same time? We tried it, turns out they don't sync at all and the Pink Floyd album will immediately set itself on fire in protest (who knew mp3s could burn?). So instead you should probably sync it with the RiffTrax, as that is officially the only way to watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon without ending up in a fetal position, weeping at the horror of its brave new world.

It's hard to believe the franchise soldiered on after the loss of its most beloved character, Megan Fox's butt. Yet somehow Michael Bay boldly moved forward with a new rich & complex female character, who ALSO has a butt, which happens to be the very first part of her shown in the film! And don't worry, all your other favorite characters are back, including: Noise! Chaos! Stuttering Shia! Racism! Screaming Shia! Respected actors shaming themselves for vacation house money! Stuttering WHILE Screaming Shia! The Matrix of Leadership! The coma induced by your laughter at the fact that they want you to take something called "The Matrix of Leadership" seriously!

Join Mike, Kevin and Bill as they take on Transformers: Dark of the Moon because it's simply not safe to watch this movie alone.

Did I read the credits right? 3D conversion services by Legend 3D, Inc?

It's funny is all.

[Thrashalla]

Aye, you read it correctly.

I'll have to get this one upon my return to the states in mid-January

I now crave Red Vines.

Stupid Transformers 3.

I do find it ironic that the studio let Michael Bay release the movies this fucking long. For better or for worse, they only hired Michael Bay because he could make them money. Yet they would have made MORE MONEY if they had insisted on an hour and a half running time so that they could show it more times in the theater. The only upside to this would be that they wouldn't be so aggravatingly long. Why the fuck is a movie studio treating Michael Bay like he's Terrence Malick?!

IIRC, Legend Films does 2D->3D conversion. Most of the film was shot in 3D, but anything in slo-mo (or ripped from previous Bay films) need a conversion. And Legend is the place to go to for that! Tangentially, I met someone who said her sister works for a 2D->3D conversion place in San Diego. Thatt's gotta be Legend Films, right?

Okay, one question


Dis was singing for, what, 10 minutes there?

They're both fetishists in their own way, who happened to use Hans Zimmer at one point in their careers (who's also scored the lengthy Nolan Batman films, but this isn't enough evidence for "Zimmer Residue"). Now Michael Bay movies are 150 minutes of Steve Jablonsky score. *bwoooong* *grate* *grate* *buzzzzzzz* *bwooooooooong* I'm surprised no one's talked about how shitty the Transformers soundtracks are.

That's probably pretty fucking close to what I would write if I was asked to transcribe the score. I wouldn't even know where to begin with the "let's get all geared up for some military badassery" music.

...Wow, I just looked up this Jablonsky composer on IMDB. In addition to scoring MIchael Bay movies & 80's horror remakes, his main gig is Desperate Housewives. I've never seen so much crap in one composer's resume, you have to see this: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413011/. More relevant to Rifftrax, he's also the guy who scored Dragon Wars.
