You all should go see the Transformers movie. It is awesome.
(Where "Awesome" here is to mean "full of giant robots blowing shit up." Just in case you wanted clarification.)
However, I must admit that despite Awkward Neurotic Boy declaring loudly, "I love my car!" and being otherwise obsessed, I still TOTALLY MISSED half of the romantic subplot.
And so was completely lost going into this scene:
Car-Robot: Optimus Prime, I want to remain with Awkward Neurotic Boy.
Optimus Prime: Well, uh, um. Okay. If that's what he wants?
Awkward Neurotic Boy: *choked up*
Refreshingly Kick-Ass Love Interest: *beaming sappily*
Awkward Neurotic Boy: *beaming sappily*
Car-Robot: *creepy cgi expression of beaming sappily*
Karen: Huh. That was inexplicably charged with emotion.
Movie: CUTS TO MAKE-OUT SCENE
Movie: *Close up on Refreshingly-Kick-Ass-Love-Interest lying on Awkward-Neurotic-Boy lying on Car-Robot*
Karen: OH. I SEE. OKAY THEN.
Movie: PANS TO GIANT ROBOTS SKULKING IN BACKGROUND OF MAKE-OUT SCENE.
Optimus Prime: And we're here watching over you.
Karen: ...
Karen: I THINK POSSIBLY NOT THE MORAL I WAS MEANT TO BRING AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE.
Audience: *giggles in agreement*
But no. It's a fun couple hours. Check it out.

Okay, glad to see someone OTHER than my husband came away from the movie with the same sort of

impression of the end.

Except for the governments maybe because it's not like THEY invited all the giant alien robots in the universe to come live on their planet, but then we've got to have a sequel somehow, right?
