quantum of solace
It's not easy being a stuntman on the set of the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace." If you'll remember, earlier this week we told you about that stunt driver taking Bond's Aston Martin DBS into the drink (and the subsequent video aftermath) in what's being described as a highly dangerous "delivery-related" stunt. Now they've seen another car accident. Although this time it wasn't the DBS, it was double trouble as two of the men all about stunts were involved. Reportedly,
Second Car Accident Befalls Bond Film Stuntmen
It's not easy being a stuntman on the set of the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace." If you'll remember, earlier this week we told you about that stunt driver taking Bond's Aston Martin DBS into the drink (and the subsequent video aftermath) in what's being described as a highly dangerous "delivery-related" stunt. Now they've seen another car accident. Although this time it wasn't the DBS, it was double trouble as two of the men all about stunts were involved. Reportedly, "the accident happened when the car used by two stuntmen rammed into a filming lorry and then into a wall on set near the picturesque Lake Garda in northern Italy..."More »

sorry jack, joker's back
Our gadget-obsessed brothers snagged some pics of a vehicle a tipster snapped shots of at a filming location for the new Batman movie. The boys at the Giz believe it's the vehicle for Joker from the new movie. We're not so sure and although it's certainly bigger than the new ride for Batman kind of feel like it could be one of the "secondary" vehicles. We're still hoping for a purple 1950's Plymouth ourselves.

Transformers Takes In $152.5 Million As Giant Freaking Robots Become Giant Freaking Piles Of Cash
Looks like even the directon of Michael Bay couldn't dent the huge opening week take of Transformers. The movie all about cars that turn into robots swallowed up $67.6 million in ticket sales over the weekend and $152.5 million since the movie opened a week ago from the 22 million-plus people experiencing a robogasm in the theater. That huge haul gives the Bay-directed film the title of "biggest first week revenues ever for a non-sequel." Does Bay get like a trophy or a plaque for that or something? While we try and figure out if we can rig something up for him out of the wreckage of old Decepticons we blew up with fireworks as a child, feel free to take a run through our entire Transformers tag page or the gallery below. Also, ignore that sound you hear right now, it's just Rick Wagoner screaming in joy over the rare bit of good news GM's gotten this month. More »

Optimus Prime Would Be Ashamed Of You, Jazz!
One of us is an avid fan of Red State Update — the wacky redneck vidbloggers. This week of our In-dee-pen-dance, they're taking on Transformers. We know we always enjoy it when two of our memes join forces — in this case robots in disguise and redneck Camaro drivers. Epic. More »

Slate's Swansburg Pits 1986 Transformers Movie Versus 2007 Transformers Movie, Forgets About Generation One
I cannot believe I'm about to engage in a toolerific blogosphere tête-à-tête with John Swansburg on Transformers mythos — but whatever, I must defend an egregious display of fan-boy cultural blasphemy. Swansburg tries to provide a compare and contrast on the 1986 Transformers movie and the 2007 Transformers movie debuting today. The problem is Swany has totally missed the point here and is making the cinematic error of basically correlating apples to Decepticons. The new movie was never meant to be any kind of a replacement, re-do, remake or re-anything of the 1986 movie. Rather, it's an attempt... More »

Happy Transformers Movie Day!
That's right, today is opening day across the US of A for the Transformers live-action movie. Although one of us was lucky enough to see it already, we realize not everyone may have gotten that chance. Thus, we're expecting many of y'all will be taking part of your day today to enter a darkened theater to experience your very own personal robogasm. If you're not able to make it today, fear not — we'll be running some of our favorite Transformers-related content in full iPhonegasm-style at random intervals throughout the day. If you'd like, feel free to call today "Total Transformers Day" or something similar. We'll not resort to anything like that — but check back to the Transformers tag and you'll find all our content right where you need it, or at least until all are one. To start with click through to see what one of us wishes he'd had the guts to wear last week at the Premiere — and the technical wherewithal to build for today. More »

Transformers Movie Update: Michael Bay Delivers Eight Shots Of Robots No Longer In Disguise
Jeez, we can't even keep up with the hot robot-car action coming our way as we get closer to the opening of the live-action film in July. Like these eight shots snagged from Bay's own site showing off Optimus and the boys looking frickin' cool as hell. We've got to admit it — yes, they look cool as hell. Well, except Optimus Prime — he kinda looks like he's taking a power dump. But whatevs, we're learning we can't have it all — even though we should. More »

Transformers Movie Update: Optimus Prime Will NOT Have Lips -- So Sayeth Michael Bay!
The Bay speaks, and here's what he has to say about our little video we obtained of Autobot king trucker Optimus Prime speaking with the lips:"The unreleased ad (Prime speaks) that was posted on youtube was a test that European were making with the ads. The clip where OP was "speaking," lets just say that it wasn't OP or Cullen speaking. It was something the European studios added on their own. In fact, it was a test shot."Glad he finally cleared that up. Oh yeah, we've also got some new screen shots from the movie to show you — enjoy. We know we will, because tonight will be the first night in a long while we can finally sleep soundly knowing Bay hasn't fubar-ed at least this one tiny part of our most cherished memories of childhood.
