Tranformers 3 was a movie that was a real enigma to me. Now the story wasn't too bad though predictable. Then again, this is Transformers not Sherlock Holmes' detective hour. So there aren't going to be any last second twist to the plot. Bad guy gets technology that humans don't understand and bad guy tries to bring Cybertron (Transformers' home) to earth. It is up to the robots and good guys to stop them.
Keeping with the theme of the movie, the humans are fringe players and don't do very much. They don't even have weapons that can do real harm to the robots! You mean to tell me that the Autobots didn't have the decency to share their weaponry knowledge so that they can do some serious damage and contribute to the battle?! What we had were some sad excuse of ex-Marines being scared to go into battle.
That was my problem with this sequel. There were too many fringe players. Roles that were not necessary at all. The biggest of them all was John Malkovich. Really!! Do you really need that whiny, stupidly stereotyped role??? Then there was the team of ex-Marines that Epps went to ask for help. Of course they would need help but just use the extras. No need to give them lines. No need for comic relief (they weren't even close).
I am not sure about the girl as well. At least Megan Fox was hot, could hot wire cars and bikes and could run and fight. This one only had a set of extremely long legs and the sausage lips. She can't act, fight, talk back, no humour and she wasn't even seductive. Seriously, if she wasn't in the movie, will she be missed? I tell you who would be missed.....Megan Fox!! Patrick Dempsey also played more of a cameo role than a main. So it was like a cameo for some big stars except for the girl, which only has big lips.
Even Shia was not as active. Didn't do much or anything that directly helped with saving the world. This was an Optimus Prime movie. While it was not as bad as some made it to be, it was a very poorly executed movie. This is a movie, you will see no matter what....so good luck and don't be too anal about the historical details.

The List goes on?
It just keeps on going!!
1. Watching Sunday Morning cartoon in big spongebob underwear
Nobody needs to see full frontal butt and thighs exposure in the morning, especially in such hideous pants.
2. Hanging Justin Timberlake's / Nick Carter's / cute boyband member poster's on my wall
I already stopped doing this in junior high when I got out of boy band phase and entered hip-hop phase. Most rappers I like aren't hot enough to stare at anyway.
3. Eating really huge lollipop / box of oreos or caramel popcorn... and finish them
I barely eat candies now. I love oreos and popcorn but if I eat a lot of them, tummy ache will surely happen.4. Checking out hot guys in the mall, approach them, and ask for their numbers
Don't judge, it was junior high school and us girls bet a lot on it.
5. Crying when getting a vaccine
Needles scare me, even until this very moment. I'm not crying anymore though, or am I?
6. Joining a girly clique and having cat fights with other cliques
Don't tell me you never had this phase. It started since junior high and ended in high school. Girls thinking they're all that and be insecure bitches and hate on other girls. Some people are still like this though, yes? Ladies, we're way too old for this shit.
7. Full frontal making out in a parked car or movie theaters
If a guy I date groped me so much in a movie theater, I would have been offended. And annoyed for being distracted during a movie. I think guys our age or older should pick a better place to do 'the business', no?
8. Playing dance dance revolution in mall’s game arcades
I used to kick so much ass in this. Now I need to get a grip and maintain grown up's calmness or something.
9. Dye my hair in bright blue / red color
I never dyed ALL my hair with these colors, a few highlights maybe. But I'm over it, and over my teenage angst phase. So tacky. I wanna be classy and sophisticated now, thank you.
10. Throwing up for being too drunk
Again, very tacky. No matter how much it feels fun at the time. I still read a lot of blogs when people tell me they drink so much up until the point of throwing up and blacking out, where they did embarrassing things they thought hilarious, like flashing or waking up somewhere unknown. Let me be open now and say that all those things make you look like cheap whores. Getting tipsy is fun, too drunk? Ew.
11. Not sleeping at all in a day
I used to be able to not sleep for 2-3 days and still do all my activities alright. My age is catching up on me, I have to sleep at least 4 hours if I don't wanna be grumpy and tired the next day.
12. Finishing a flaming drink by myself
Whatever the type is : flaming bikini, flaming combustion, or whatever it is alcoholic drink that requires to be lit up in fire before you drink it. I gotta have at least two people with me to drink it together now, otherwise I'll just be really sick.
13. Drinking and partying so much in weekdays / a few nights in a row
There are still times when I have to do it for work, like when I have a gig. But it always means I'll be queasy and super tired the next day. Not my option to have fun now, just weekends please.
14. Do real stupid and embarrassing dares in public
Been there, done that. I did a dare when I had to go up to an empty stage right in the center of the mall and dance to old school Britney Spears tracks. Talking about never going there again.
15. Pulling pranks on the professors / teachers
if I do it now, they would just fail me. Yikes. However I had fun putting a frog once inside my art teacher's briefcase. He almost peed in his pants.
16. Being loud in the theaters
Oh teenage memories. Laughing and goofing off during movies until one of those boring older people shush us rudely. Sadly, I'm becoming one of those boring older people now. I just can't stand noisy giggling teenagers when I'm trying to enjoy the movie.
17. Listening to popular pop music of today and not cringe
Popular pop music used to be so enjoyable during Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys era, or was it my age that time? Now it's all Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Jonas Brothers, and a few others, giving me unhealthy desires to slam the radio until it breaks.
18. Talking on the phone all night
Why is it that I could handle hours and hours of pointless conversation on the phone and now it irritates me? Unless my close friend crying about something in the end of the line, more than 15 minutes call will annoy me. I'll stick to instant messengers and texts.
19. Wearing shirts or pants with provocative writings / pictures on them
I wonder why we thought it's cute. The word "juicy" on your ass or the hand prints on your boobs will make you look nastier than Lil Kim in a heat wearing latex suits.
2o. Writing LiKe tHisss
How Myspace and Friendster! Especially adding the word "baby" and stars to your name. Examples? **JaMieeBabbiee** or "$$mIsZkAci$$ . Please, please, let me punch your face if you do it.

More older shit to add to the Murtaugh List
I read this list on someone's blog from the US. Not too bad.....
1. I can’t stand radio stations that play “today’s hits”
2. While at the Apple Store, a kid probably aged 10, totally embarrassed me at Star Wars Lego
3. My son told me I had hot breath
4. I saw a car just 3 days ago driving down a major street with the driver and passenger dancing. I thought, this is why kids shouldn’t have licenses
5. I rather appreciate talk radio and will only listen to sports radio or NPR
6. The other day I was actually listening to the radio and I heard 3 great songs strung together and then the station identification came on and it was an Easy Listening station. Easy, freakin, Listening Man!
7. I identify my age by music
8. When I get up in the morning I used to view going to the bathroom as a good thing to do, now it’s a necessity and don’t get in my way
9. When I get up needing to go to the bathroom, all my muscles hurt, which complicates the necessity
10. I feel the need to tell you my bathroom habits
11. I complain about how much milk (soy) my family drinks a week
12. I actually told my son, as he was getting milk, to “close the refrigerator door, I’m not paying to cool the house and you’ll break the motor”
13. I enjoy going to Home Depot and Loews more than going to electronic stores (RIP CompUSA)
14. When I get online, I research gardening tips and landscaping ideas or medical situations instead of going immediately to fark.com or other time wasting sites.

I am too old for this shit!
Those of us born in the 80s have this phenomenon called "getting old" or "mid-life crisis". Some of us more profound than others. For example, some of us are losing hair on our head and getting it in our ears, back and some nether regions.
As we get on with life, many things change. Mentally and especially physically. We change mentally in terms of our opinion of something, how we start to appreciate a starlit night, how a sad movie makes us cry, blah, blah, blah....ya ya, all that psycho stuff. Let's get to the fun part.
So as you are now in your 40s, what part of your 20's can you do anymore? Either because you physically can't or you would just look like a total brain-dead moron!
1. Staying up all night with your buds drinking beer and sharing stupid stories
2. Ermm...just staying up all night
3. Piercing ear - it will hurt like hell plus you look like an abandoned, left out gay man.
4. Hanging posters without frames
5. Sleep on your friend's canvas bed or hammock or anything that does not remotely resemble a nice, warm, soft bed!
6. Eating an entire pizza in one sitting or a "Tai Pau" or anything major food group for that matter.
7. Put off going to the doctor for ANY medical reason!!
8. Drinking with strangers in a bar because no ones wants to be friends with you in a bar.
9. Help someone move out of a flat without elevators in exchange for pizza and beer
10. Beer Bong - Gawd, I was never good at this even when I was in my 20s
11. Going to a rave
12. Sleep past 8am
13. Talk on the phone all night because of item 1.
14. I cannot be TyPiNg LikE diS
15. Do stupid dares in public because I may be arrested or beaten up.
16. To “understand” the Jonas Brothers or Justin Bieber
17. Drive around with really loud music, bass pumping, and windows rolled down
18. Wear leather clothes
19. Eat whatever I want without putting on weight or getting a heartburn - I now put on weight purely through osmosis.
20. MTV
21. New Year Eve parties and concerts end right after midnight.
There are many more that I will try to remember doing then and cannot now. What is your list?
