The Transformers 2 Trailer: Full of Win

I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve rewatched the Transformers 2 trailer a few times:

I liked the part where the humans died.

There are reasonable odds that the trailer, by virtue of its awesomeness and brevity, will be better than the actual movie — as if Michael Bay were mounting a deconstruction of the patriarchal dominance of movie over trailer, inverting the hierarchy in an act of triumphant aesthetic rebellion.

Yeah, anyway, MTV has a shot by shot analysis.

    Will Google’s Insanely-Fast Kansas City Network Shame U.S. ISPs?

    Google’s highly-anticipated plan to build an ultra-fast city broadband network kicked into gear Monday with the search giant’s announcement that it will begin laying miles of fiber-optic cable across Kansas City, Kansas and neighboring Kansas City, Missouri. Google said it aims to create a new “high speed infrastructure” that will allow local citizens to enjoy data speeds 100 times the national average. Google’s goal? To show off its telecom engineering chops and showcase next-generation web-applications. Oh, and maybe shame the big national broadband providers into improving U.S. Internet service speed, which currently lags behind many other countries around the world.

    I see Minicons! Were there any in the first movie? I never bothered to watch it.

    Anyways, I remember those animal transformers. I always threw out the instructions and couldn’t figure them out, so I had a shelf full of half Triceratops, half motorcycle things.
