At the movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Me vs Michael Bay's robot opus, mkIII.

There was a time, if you can believe it, when I thought Transformers were the coolest things imaginable. With the possible exception of Jim Henson and Grace Jones.

Henson's memory remains sacred, and after Jones' Hurricane tour, I fear not for her, because she still has everything that made her awesome, with the exquisite addition of Eiko Ishioka outfits.

But The Transformers, not so much.
