Greetings all – - -
This is Justin, (or in the blogger world, The Rambler) the resident winner of this here game of Fletch’s. The saying must be true: “Ask and you shall receive.” I put together one of these little puzzles on my own and got the great Fletch’s permission to place it on his blog. The instructions are the same and are as follows:
Last week’s winner: Me, I guess, with 12 points.
The theme: There were two, because of Fletch’s new twist. The first was that each film in Group A included a member of the Baldwin family in it (I got that one) while the second group was filled with movies where the music was composed by Mutato Musika, a.k.a. Devo (BD79).
Here’s the new dozen. The rules are simple: I’m going to give you a dozen taglines, all you have to do is name as many flicks that they belong to as you can. One point per tag. Try very hard to resist the Google. Get the most points and you win. In addition, there will always be a theme, though it’s point worth will vary according to how difficult I think it is.
And I’m sticking with the old school game, with 12 tags and one theme. The theme, I think, is relatively easy, so we will make it worth 5.5 points. That’s right. A half of a point. Deal with it!
As you get them right, I’ll mark them as gotten and stuff. Good luck.

Justin – 10
Nick – 5.5
Jess – 4
J.D., BD79 – 2.5
Shane, Jason Soto – 2

5. The true story of a real fake.
6. Life’s greatest adventure is finding your place in the circle of life.
7. Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again.

It’s that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It’s The Day New Movies Are Released.
Inglorious Basterds
By all accounts, I should be anticipating this much more than I currently am. Tarantino? Check. Pitt? Check. ???
Perhaps it’s those question marks that are leaving me wanting more. Eli Roth is annoying. Diane Kruger can’t act her way out of a plastic bag. There’s pretty much no one else of note involved. The plot…let’s just say I’m finding it a bit thin. And I’m no fan of torture porn, even when the torture is being performed on Nazis.
So basically, what we’re left with is a case of STYLE vs. substance. Like 300, only without the CGI effects and homoeroticism. I’m sure I’ll see it, but it’ll be done moreso out of loyalty to QT than anything else.
Fletch’s Chance of Viewing (in the theater): 63%
Post Grad
I’d barely heard of this prior to today.
I’d like to keep it that way. You probably would, too.

Paul Ozzimo, conceptual illustrator for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, had posted a preview of some of his concept art from the movie on his website. Ozzimo is a concept artist and model maker who designed the facial designs for Optimus Prime and worked on Avatar, Watchmen, Transformers I, Mission Impossible III, X2: X-Men United, Superman Returns and more. Sadly the images have seemed to since been pulled and replaced with “Coming Soon” for ROTF but below are the available images for your enjoyment. (via TFW2005)

Update: As pointed out in the comments, the designs are from TF designer Ben Proctor’s website. Something I posted about two years ago here. To view more of his Transformers work click here.
New concept art from the first Transformers movie has appeared online from TFG2. The art focuses on Bumblebee and Scorponok and give a hint in some of the early designs that were created for the two characters.

A few months ago we got a look at a highly detailed movie Bumblebee costume that didn’t transform. Now a car dealership in Mexico took it to that next level with a costume that turns into a Camaro. A little detail is lost but that it works so well is pretty amazing. (via TFW2005)

According to Life & Style Magazine, Megan Fox will host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 26th, the shows 35th season.
Megan is psyched to have gotten this opportunity,” the insider tells Life & Style. “She has a lot of surprises in store for the audience. This is the perfect opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills, as she’s launching her new movie Jennifer’s Body [on Sept. 18].”
This should be interesting to watch. She could have a great unknown sense of humor to display but I am guessing this episode will be highly scripted and controlled to minimize any problems. I also expect there to be plenty of Transformer jokes, most probably making fun of Transfans.

It shows off many of the new characters joining the game especially G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Megatron and G1 Starscream. Of note to many fans is sounds like movie Soundwave gets his G1 vocoder voice for the game. The one question not answered is what is Megatron’s alt mode? A flying gun?
