"OPTIMUUUUUUUS!"
--Shia LaBeouf

"BUMBLEBEEEEEEEEEEE!"
--Shia LaBeouf

Oh this movie. With the dancing robots and the over-emoting and the Michael Bay M&Ms and the this song. Are we really doing this? We are? OK.

Don't get me wrong, I "get it." I also used to be a little boy who enjoyed playing with toys and having a rat tail. The powerful draw of nostalgia is not foreign to me. But let's please stop with the games. If we're going to watch an action movie about microwaves that turn into monsters and have an over-earnest 80s stadium anthem version of the cheesy cartoon theme song about robots that wear disguises, let's at least have the decency and the self-honesty to put on our diapers. Because we are babies and we don't ever want to grow up. (Via FilmDrunk.)
