They should remake War Games with modern CGI first. Y'know. With Matthew Broderick

Transformers live action? Didn't the Autobots and Decepticons tend to fight in rocky desert terrain? I think I remember, like, one or two people in the series. Maybe my memory is faulty.

But, a Voltron live action movie would make a lot more sense. And it would be a lot more cool. Give it the kind of effects the latest Star Wars movies have and it would be awesome. No Jar Jar Binx!

yeah, alot of cartoons have desert backgrounds, as it's kinda expensive to keep changing the backgrounds.

jel, what I meant was that there aren't many real live people in deserts, so a Transformers movie would basically be just straight computer graphics animation, not "live action"Unless, they plop them in the middle of a city for some reason and give real live human beings roles in the movie-- it would be cool to see Optimus Prime grabbing an armful of people and leaping to safety from an incoming missile attack. Or seeing Optimus turn into his truck form and the door opening up with the words, "Hop in, Mr. President." Hee, hee, I want to write this script.

It would be live action if, per my above suggestion, the Transformers were played by men wearing cardboard boxes spraypainted silver (scaredy, you can do the script if I can do the costumes).

I think that's what it'll be like! Get writing sir!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 15:08 (twenty years ago) link

they really should think about including:

- huge battle on Cybertron rivalling LOTR, Clone Wars and Matrix Reloaded for epic scale and dazzling effects.
- some kind of Transformer/dinosaur interaction (maybe when The Ark crashes on Earth some dinosaurs get trapped and preserved in radioactive debris?)
- ridiculous 15 minute explanation by Charlize Theron (top scientist) on how come the robots can shrink to the size of cars, guns etc.
- X-Men style in-jokes
- the term 'puny earthlings'

no way should it be 'men in costumes' tho, that would just look an infinite number of times more stupid and less 'real' than CGI (refer to Judge Dredd's Hammerstein, Matrix Reloaded walkers and the new Terminator film...The Hulk looks absurd but fun and its still impressive and useful as a pointer to how they can have large humanoid forms interacting with the environment)

Sideswipe: "what? are you some kind of go-bot?"

If by "in the pipeline" you mean "wedged up my crack" I agree.

I enjoyed it as well. more family friendly, so there are some cringeworthy moments (like the stepdad), but as a sendup of Iron Giant with Short Circuit moments in it, it works well.

― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Monday, 31 December 2018 00:29 (five years ago) link

Yeah, I think I was the only person at the screening who didn't bring children.
