Got to see an early screening of the movie and I loved every second of it. Read my review of the movie here:

It really is every bit as good as I'd hoped and I adore the organic TFs designs. Frenzy was probably my favorite, which is saying a lot. All of the TFs were likable in some way or other.

I'm also watching V: The Series on DVD. For those who don't know, V was a sci-fi made-for-TV movie/series from 1983 with heavy political undertones. It's one of the best sci-fi series I've ever seen and the special effects hold up nicely. It's remastered, which helps.

The first two installments are the best. The follow-up TV series was not as good and was ultimately cancelled.

It's late and I'm still slightly wasted. Haven't blogged in a while, so it seemed like a good time to. SME's wedding ceremony is today, congratulations babe!

Time for sleep. Zzzzzzzzz......

Update: Decided to give a long overdo makeover to our gallery. WC.com was recently revamped and now the cel gallery resembles that design somewhat. I saved the old values, so we can revert back to the old scheme anytime we want. The gallery was due for a change anyway.

Thanks Eddie <3 It was a lot of fun. We got to see the movie at the Studio Movie Grill, where waiters serve you food while you watch the film. Everyone had a great time.

I know you like Giant Robo, so I have a strong feeling you''d enjoy the Transformers movie. The robots don''t move slowly either, they move very fast. The battles are big and exciting.

My favorite TF series is Beast Wars. I know most people hated Beast Machines, but I rather enjoyed it as well (despite the odd conclusion that Cybertron had organic life... somehow...). Beast Wars is the one series I''d recommend because it really holds up. Hardcore fans of G1 would probably disagree with me tho.

I love those eat-while-you-watch places. I went to them a long time ago when I lived in Florida. They never caught on much in the north east, at least not in the area where I live now.
I just wanted to say "Hi!" I am mega-busy right now on the house, but I haven''t forgotten you! (Right now we are mostly taking the horrible ''before'' pics. I hope to post them and some ''after'' shots by the end of the summer.) I''m afraid Transformers will have to be a video watch for me, as I am working constantly and I dream about what I have to do at night. Maybe I''ll get someone to take the kid , though since you highly recommend it.

I hear you on the house remodeling/repairs. Been there and still doing that. ^_^ It''s time consuming, but the results are worth while. You''ll be glad when it''s over (or close to over). And yes, definitely take pictures. It''s nice to record and share the progress.
