Negotiating with Killer Robots

Today we went to see the movie Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen. I typically ignore the critics on movies, especially high-tech SciFi movies. Most critics are looking for things that are out of place in these kinds of movies - character development, complex and deep plots and related namby, pamby crap. Whenever I read a critic's review of a movie and it glows about plot and character I usually avoid the movie, because it usually ends up being some sappy, shallow over acted and often violent piece of junk. Anyway, today's movie was great - lots of action and no gratuitous anything. The high light of the movie is the not so subtle slap at the Obama's girly foreign policy - at a critical moment in the movie a representative of the President - Galloway, implied that the Obama's approach to dealing with Decepticons would be to negotiate with them.
