trouble, right here in river city

earlier this week ben and i watched 'iron man' which was, to my surprise, incredibly good. it was the kind of movie that sets a standard. again, surprisingly.

then, later in the week, we watched 'transformers.' this was after being told by ben's brother, we'll call him "zachary," that it was an awesome movie.

zach. you are in huge trouble.

while we were watching 'transformers,' all i could think of doing was blogging about how i might just have to take a picture of my very menacing squinty eyes and post it on here with a note. the note would read thusly:

zach adam. this movie blows. grrrr.

the note would utilize your middle name only to emphasize the already menacing eye photo. (and because i secretly love calling you zach adam. i think it's fun.) but back to my very angry and unfriendly point.

any movie in which any character says, "and you'll erase her juvy record. like forever." is "no bueno" as we say here so close to the border.

let me also say that i KNOW the special effects were awesome. i know. BUT. dialogue = sucky. storyline = boring. please know that i know the fault is at the hands of the writers (what, are they 12?). i am in no way faulting you, my dearest and youngest brother :) BUT. you get the squinty-menace eyes anyway.

you are lucky, however. as the mere fact that josh duhamel was kinda sorta in the movie saved you like no other. (should i insert a picture of me drooling? goodness gracious.) (btw, what was the point of him being married with a kid? did that ever go anywhere? or am i just jealous?)

any. who. you know i love you, little bro. and i hope you will still recommend movies to us in the future. but know i might have something to say about it once said recommended movie is watched :)

xoxo,

p.s. i totally had the transformer that was a semi and i think i had one that was a plane...it was only like 20-some years ago so i can't be positive but...they were my favorite toys ever. well, second maybe to my thundercats figurines...
