PARIS — Neither "shoddy" counterfeit handbags nor currency gyrations can dent Bernard Arnault's bullish outlook on luxury.
Citing a 19 percent leap in first-half net profits to $719.1 million, or 559 million euros, and "dynamic" sales over the summer months, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton kingpin expects an even stronger finish for the year.
"We are very optimistic for the second half," an upbeat Arnault told a packed audience of analysts and journalists Wednesday at LVMH's art-stuffed headquarters, two new Takashi Murakami sculptures flanking the entrance.
Currency impacts shaved 149 million euros, or $191.7 million, from the bottom line in the six months ended June 30, but Arnault said he expects a more favorable exchange rate environment for the balance of the year. Currency conversions were made at average exchange rates for the period.
"I'm optimistic in as much as I hope the dollar won't come down again," he said.
Arnault boasted that high-flying Louis Vuitton, the cash cow of the group, continued to post "exceptional" double-digit growth in July and August. And even if the company is struggling to meet demand for hot products such as its denim handbags with the famous monogram, "we are very confident regarding the growth of Louis Vuitton."
Vuitton chief executive Yves Carcelle said the company would be able to triple quantities of denim bags delivered to stores this fall to ease waiting lists. He characterized the denim range as a major opportunity for the brand.
What's more, he noted: "Nowhere have we found a single counterfeiter capable of producing denim that is jacquard and stonewashed [like ours]."
LVMH results were largely in line with consensus expectations and analysts smiled on Arnault's positive tone.
The French luxury giant said it took a 147 million euro, or $189.1 million, nonrecurring charge in the first half related to the closing of its Samaritaine department store, which was shuttered last June when safety inspectors discovered structural problems and fire risks. Excluding that impact, net profits would have rocketed 38 percent.
Operating profits from recurring operations rose 11 percent to 1.09 billion euros, or $1.4 billion, up from 982 million euros, or $1.21 billion, a year ago. As reported, sales in the half grew 10 percent to 6.17 billion euros, or $7.78 billion.

During a brisk address against a bright yellow backdrop, Arnault reiterated the group would continue to invest in its star brands — "where growth is assured and where profit is at its best" — while taking it slow with smaller names until the product and retail mix are right.
Arnault also alluded again to the possibility of acquisitions, saying: "There may be opportunities to be seized around new products or with other brands."
Fendi, which recently renewed the employment contract of Karl Lagerfeld and christened a new-look Rome flagship, received considerable praise from Arnault, who cited sales growth in excess of 50 percent in some stores. "Results are becoming very significant," he said, vowing that Fendi would become a leading Italian leather goods firm "in the next few years."
Other brands LVMH considers to have high potential include Marc Jacobs, Pucci, Loewe and Berluti.
Meanwhile, Carcelle cited "encouraging" progress at Donna Karan, which continues to trim its distribution and fine-tune product lines. He characterized the balance of the year as the start of recovery for the New York-based fashion house.
Hard hit by currency fluctuations, wines and spirits was the only division to report a drop in operating profits, down 6.4 percent to 321 million euros, or $412.9 million. Operating profits for fashion and leather goods increased 4.5 percent to 654 million euros, or $841.3 million, with perfumes and cosmetics advancing 33.3 percent, thanks to rapid growth of Christian Dior in Asia and Europe and improved profitability at Guerlain.
Arnault cited a "continued recovery" in the watch and jewelry division, which posted a 14 million euro, or $18 million, profit in the half versus a 1 million euro, or $1.2 million, loss a year ago. LVMH cited "excellent" results at Tag Heuer, with its Tiger Woods-promoted golf watch selling out shortly after launch, and Zenith soaring, thanks to a lofty market segment for watch connoisseurs.
Arnault also said Sephora has become a "very substantial profit center" in the U.S., which helped drive a 70 percent increase in operating profits to 119 million euros, or $153.1 million, in the half.
Shares in LVMH inched up 1.1 percent Wednesday to close at 67.10 euros, or $83.20, on the Paris Bourse.

Featured Golf News
Andrew Putnam in Position to Join Brother on PGA Tour
After winning the WNB Golf Classic on Sunday, Andrew Putnam moved up to second on the Web.com Tour's money list. With his first victory on the PGA Tour's developmental circuit the 25-year-old from Tacoma, Wash., earned $108,000 to jump from sixth to second on the money list with $248,273.
Though he had matters well in hand, Putnam's win has an asterisk as the final round at Midland Country Club in Texas was wiped out after high winds cancelled it.
Still, Putnam, who opened with rounds of 66, 66 and 64 in the 72-hole event, officially finished at 20-under 196 through 54 holes, good for a seven-shot amrgin over Sweden's Richard S. Johnson and Australia's Rod Pampling.
"Seven shots was a big margin and I was playing well, but you never really know how it's going to work out," Putnam told reporters. "I had some nervous feelings not knowing if I was going to go out and play.
"It's a bummer that we couldn't play it all the way out. I'm sure it would have been a different feeling walking up 18 with a big lead. I can't remember the last time I won."
The former Pepperdine player secured his first victory on the Web.com Tour in his 32nd start and is virtually assured a place on the 2014-2015 PGA Tour. He will join his 30-year-old brother, Michael, who qualified for the big circuit after two victories in 2013 and was named the Web.com player of the year.
There was some brotherly confusion when it came time to award Andrew the trophy and winner's check. The WNB Golf Classic tournament director "congratulated Michael Putnam for the win at the WNB Golf Classic."
Andrew Putnam closed his eyes and grinned. "He felt pretty bad," Putnam told the Tacoma News Tribune's Todd Milles of the presenter's gaffe.
Putnam was 1-under through seven holes when play was canceled; the final round didn't count. Wind gusts up to 50 mph toppled a couple of portable toilets and the flag on the ninth green was ripped off twice by the winds.
"It was clear blue skies, but here we were wondering if we were going to play golf," Putnam told Milles. "It was pretty bizarre."
Andrew observed Michael earn his PGA Tour card last year and wanted to follow in his older brother's footsteps. "It was always my goal to win early this year," he said. "I saw my brother do it last year when he won twice. He was able to keep that confidence going. When you get off to a hot start it takes pressure off of you."
He added, "I had some top finishes in the beginning of the year. To get a win kind of completes the season."

Why not showcase them properly, in a coffee table with a sunken inset and a removable top that you build yourself? With little more than a few lengths of lumber, some stock legs, and a sheet of acrylic, you'll have a fine piece of furniture that's fittingly handsome for the history on display.

View a short video on the inspiration behind Michael St Maur Sheil's journey capturing the emotional and historical heritage of landscapes which witnessed the monumental events of the
First World War.
Fields of Battle - Lands of Peace 14-18 does not seek to explain the history of the First World War, but rather seeks to introduce people to the subject by revealing some of the landscapes of battle and illustrating the stories of the people who experienced those battles. It does so in a uniquely powerful manner, by bringing these events to people in their own communities via the medium of a free to view outdoor exhibition featuring the work of Michael St Maur Sheil.
"Our vision is to commemorate The Centenary by promoting the significance, within families, locally, nationally, and internationally, of the seismic social changes The First World War has triggered over the last century. Recent surveys on public attitudes to The First World War reveal that *59% of UK citizens have visited a local war memorial, although seven in ten people do not know what their relatives did during the war...
It is precisely this gap between interest and understanding of community and familial roles and changes in the War, that our photographs and interpretations are designed to address".

Welcome From the Executive Director
Welcome to World Animal Protection and thank you for sharing our vision of a world where animals live free from suffering.
Billions of animals are suffering around the world and every one of them needs our help. But real change will only occur when people and organizations take action for animals themselves – together or individually. That's why we move the world.
There is a strong inter-dependence between humans and animals. Animals play such an important part in our everyday lives and providing them with a good life should be a priority for us all. World Animal Protection is leading the way in protecting animals in the wild, in farming, in communities, and in disasters. Through our work with governments, businesses, communities and intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations, we are putting animals on the global agenda and making changes that will have long-term impact on policy and practice around the world. And with the help of our devoted supporters, we are creating a movement of people who want a world without animal cruelty.
I am so delighted to be working with you and World Animal Protection staff around the globe as we move the world to protect animals in 2016 and beyond. Thank you.

NEW ORLEANS — Of all the stories about New Orleans, John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the most universally beloved. So an artist who attempts to engage it in a different medium has their work cut out for them from the get-go: anyone who's read Toole's posthumously published comedic opus already has their own idea of how Ignatius J. Reilly and his world should be brought to life.Continue Reading →

Goicolea's work envisions apocalypse not as an abrupt event followed by an aftermath, but as a slow and definitive ruin that continues throughout life.Continue Reading →

Grants Too Cool To Miss
Summit High School physics teacher Jeremy Morman was awarded a $4,500 grant from SEF to purchase a 3D printer for the Design Projects in Physics class. The printer is up and running as of spring 2016, and is being put to good use in helping students create projects designed to demonstrate physics principles. Seniors Steven Quiros and Arben Geci, shown here, used the 3D printer to create a globe that hangs at the bottom of the Endless Pendulum they are building.
"With the SEF's help, the 3D printer with its rapid prototyping has given students another option in the design process!"
said Mr Morman.

On a different planet, perhaps, an incoming Congress would now be plowing its way through the pages of jobs plans, proposals for green jobs projects, a new WPA or two, detailed proposals for rebuilding rotted infrastructure, an urban corps and a rural corps, among many other things.
But this is Earth and the GOP is stronger in Congress than it was last year. On this planet, New Hampshire's Senator-elect Kelly Ayotte, giving the Republican weekly address on New Year's Day, declared: "Job one is to stop wasteful Washington spending."
"This of course, is simply refried conservative beans," said OurFuture.org's Robert Borosage Jan. 3. "Not a murmur about the investments vital to any economic growth. Not even the need to rebuild our decrepit infrastructure that even the Chamber of Commerce recognizes is long overdue."
Labor and its allies have been saying that a campaign to restore the nation's infrastructure should be a no-brainer because of the hundreds of thousands of jobs created by the restoration work as well as the long-term impact on economic growth.
They point with dismay to how newly-elected Republican governors like New Jersey's Chris Christie, Wisconsin's Scott Walker and Ohio's John Kasich are rejecting federal help for job-creating high-speed rail and tunnel projects, as right-wingers push to end almost federal transportation spending.
"It's no secret that when Republicans take over control of the House this week, they will be eager to flex their newly found muscle," said Mike Hall, a spokesman for the AFL-CIO. He warned that when they flex that muscle they will "hurt your ability to keep your job, your neighborhood's ability to recover from the recession and this country's ability to regain its focus in the global economy."
Working families could face new problems as the result of GOP attempts to repeal health care and Wall Street reform, slash infrastructure spending, strangle government's ability to create jobs and kill green job initiatives, he said.
Isaiah Poole, in a report prepared for Campaign for America's Future, noted that repeal of health care reform would have devastating consequences. Losing the savings created by the health reform bill would increase the deficit by $143 billion, increase the number of uninsured by 30 million people, end free preventative care services and wipe out the requirement that insurance companies devote the bulk of premium payments to health care costs rather than expensive advertising and executive perks.
Another target of the GOP will be Wall Street reform. They want to end the new agency set up to keep banks from rigging credit ratings. They will try to slash budgets for the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission so these agencies can't monitor reckless and/or illegal bank activity. The Republicans seek to eliminate even the office that would protect investors - those who buy stocks. Also on their target list is the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its aggressive chief, Elizabeth Warren.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize-winning economist, in a recent column called for a focus on jobs.
"Seriously, what we're looking at over the next few years, even with pretty good economic growth, are unemployment rates that not long ago would have been considered catastrophic - because they are," Krugman wrote. "Behind the dry statistics lies a vast landscape of suffering and broken dreams. And the arithmetic says the suffering will continue as far as the eye can see."
"A rational political system," he said, "would long since have created a 21st century version of the Works Progress Administration - we'd be putting the unemployed to work doing what needs to be done."

Somewhere Between
A film by Linda Goldstein Knowlton
This film follows four teenage girls adopted from China as they attempt to answer the uniquely human question, "Who am I?"
Four baby girls are born in China to families who are unable to keep them, largely because of China's "One Child Policy." Instead of being raised by their biological parents, the baby girls are raised in orphanages, and then eventually adopted by American families to be whisked halfway around the world to the United States. There, they grow up with Sesame Street, hip-hop, and Twitter. They describe themselves as "bananas": white on the inside and yellow on the outside. All is well, until they hit their teen years, when their pasts pull at them, and they begin to wonder, "Who am I?"
All four know they were probably "given up" because they were girls (they are understandably uncomfortable with the word "abandoned"), and grapple with issues of race, gender, and identity more acutely than most their age.
Documentaries have been made before about international adoption, but they have always been from the point of view of the adoptive, Caucasian parents, or the adult adoptee. Young women's voices are rarely heard—especially young women of color. Somewhere Between lets four teenaged girls—Fang, Haley, Ann, and Jenna—tell their own stories, letting the film unfold from their points of view and shedding light on their deepest thoughts: about their families, their feelings of being "other," and their powerful connections to a past that most of them cannot recall.
The film captures nearly three years in the lives of these four dynamic young women. The emotional journey took the film crew across America where they documented the girls in their hometowns, facing racism and struggling with stereotypes. Their journeys were also documented as they traveled to Europe to meet other transracial adoptees and back to China, where they witnessed China's gender gap resulting from its One Child Policy.
The film also witnesses their emotional coming-of-age. As the girls discover who they are, viewers—no matter their color, gender, or culture—will find themselves exploring their own sense of identity and their feelings about family and belonging. Through their experiences, we will also see our still-prevalent cultural disconnects around stereotyping and race.
As Somewhere Between plunges the viewer into the ordinary and extraordinary days of these four girls lives, we, too, are forced to pause and consider who we are—both as individuals and as a nation of immigrants.
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock
A film by Michael Wadleigh, Chris Hegedus, Erez Laufer starring Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell, Larry Lee, Juma Sultan
Hendrix's seminal performance at Woodstock in 1969, in high definition and surround sound.
Live at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix's headlining appearance at the most famous festival in rock music history, is rivaled only by his set at Monterey Pop for sheer legendary status. But the two are very different. The rock guitarist was a virtual unknown in America when he delivered his literally incendiary performance at Monterey in 1967. A little more than two years later he was an established star, picked to close this mammoth three-day show (he was slated to appear on Sunday night, but weather and various snafus pushed that to Monday morning).
Introduced as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix quickly corrects that to Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, with original drummer Mitch Mitchell and new bassist Billy Cox augmented by two percussionists and a second guitarist (all three are for the most part inaudible, subsumed in the great sonic wash of Hendrix's wailing guitar and Mitchell's thrashing drums). The music had changed, too. Hendrix had started moving away from the format of short, poppy songs with the Electric Ladyland album, and while he still plays "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," and "Fire," much of the emphasis in this lengthy set is on extended jamming. Not all of it works, but when it does — as on "Spanish Castle Magic" and a sped-up "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which leads into the feedback-drenched re-imagining of "The Star-Spangled Banner" — the performance takes off. Little more than a year later, Jimi Hendrix, still regarded as the greatest rock guitarist ever, would be dead.
The Last Days of Pompeii
A film by Carmine Gallone and Amleto Palermi
A decadent feast for the eyes, this Italian silent was based on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), arguably the most popular historical novel written in the nineteenth century. Bulwer-Lytton's tale of the young dandy Glaucus in love with beautiful Ione was the canonical narrative of Pompeii's destruction.
Glaucus' jealous rival, the Egyptian priest Arbaces, slays Ione's brother Apaecides, whom he has failed to convert to his mystery religion. Exploiting the love of the blind slave girl Nydia for Glaucus, her master, Arbaces proceeds to blame Glaucus for the murder. Then Mount Vesuvius strikes: the eruption kills the villain, and blind Nydia guides Ione and Glaucus through the rain of ashes to safety outside of the collapsing city.

Any Day Now
A film by Travis Fine starring Alan Cumming, Garret Dillahunt, and Isaac Leyva
When a teenager with Down syndrome (Isaac Leyva) is abandoned by his mother, a gay couple (Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt) takes him in and becomes the loving family he's never had.
Inspired by a true story, and winner of 10 Audience Awards at film festivals around the country and starring the amazing Alan Cumming, Any Day Now is a powerful tale of love, acceptance and family. When a teenager with Down syndrome (Isaac Leyva) is abandoned by his mother, a gay couple (Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt) takes him in and becomes the loving family he's never had. But when their unconventional living arrangement is discovered by authorities, the men are forced to fight a biased legal system to save the life of the child they have come to love as their own. Any Day Now touches on legal and social issues that are as relevant today as they were 35 years ago.
A film by Ursula Meier starring Kacey Mottet Klein, Lea Seydoux, and Martin Compston
A stunning meditation on secrets, lies and moral obligation, Ursula Meier's compassionate character study of a boy forced to grow up too fast is a movie for the ages.
Precocious 12-year-old Simon — played by the unforgettable Kacey Mottet Klein — lives with his wild and irresponsible older sister in a small apartment below a luxurious ski resort nestled in the Swiss Alps. Each day, Simon ascends the lofty mountain above, pilfering ski equipment from the rich and selling it to get by. Left unsupervised, his newfound criminal enterprise and growing attachment to the seasonal workers and guests sends his precarious relationship with his sister spiraling out of control.
The Thing
A film by John Carpenter
The Thing is John Carpenter's stunning masterpiece of horror. A group of weary scientists enduring the winter in an isolated camp deep in Antarctica chance upon an alien spacecraft buried in the ice. Helicopter pilot MacCready (Kurt Russell) must lead the men in discovering who among them is human and who is not.
A Place in the Sun
A film by George Stevens starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters
George Eastman (Montgomery Clift) is the poor nephew of a rich industrialist who takes a job in his uncle's factory. While working there, George begins dating fellow factory worker Alice "Al" Tripp (Shelley Winters) but when George meets society girl Angela Vickers (Elizabeth Taylor) and experiences all of the unattainable wealth and status she represents, George must choose between two very different worlds, with dire consequences.
A film by Sergio Corbucci starring Franco Nero, José Bódalo and Loredana Nusciak
A film more violent and pessimistic than anything that ever came before it! Here comes horseless, dark-clad, blazingly blue-eyed Franco Nero dragging a coffin through the inches-thick mud of a crummy town, seemingly populated only by whores and a bartender – and fought over by bandidos and red-hooded clansmen. Featuring Nero's starmaking role, and the first of what became 30+ official and unofficial sequels.

Her Second-Chance Familyby Holly Jacobs
Good can come out of bad If it wasn't for the tragic accident ten years earlier, Audrey Smith might never have taken in the three foster kids she loves so dearly.

He's the one who was robbed by Audrey's daughter. But teaching the teen a lesson rather than punishing her makes Sawyer a superhero in Audrey's eyes. Someone who can forgive and forget... That is until another break-in rocks their community, threatening Audrey's family and her future with Sawyer.

Once Upon a Princessby Holly Jacobs
Princess Marie Anna Parker Mickovich Dillonetti, aka Parker Dillon, may have convinced some folks that she was just a waitress.

And though she might be giving him the royal runaround, now that this irresistible investigator is on the case, dare we hope that the runaway princess's wandering days are over?

Mastoid pain: possible causes
Q: I experience severepain in the lower part of left side of head, back of ear. The pain lasts for very few seconds. It is a severeexcruciating pain from within. I experienced it 2 times in the last week.It is localised to a very small region, about 3cms lateral to mastoid process. I am worried about it? Should I consult a doctor? Is it necessary to consult a doctor soon? Should I go for an EEG?
A: If the pain that you described is not accompanied by any other symptoms as dizziness, seizures, local redness, drainage from the ear, fever, goes away spontaneously, is not radiated, just localized, we can rule out the primary cause of Mastoid pain which is Mastoiditis from a middle ear infection. However, we have other possible causes as: referred pain from the jaw joint, neuralgia of a sensory nerve in the ear area. It could also be musculoskeletal pain of the temporalis or neck muscles. I would recommend a check by your doctor to make sure that you don't have any other reason for this.

Makes me want to bite my screen. Looks so amazing and crunchy.
Pork belly fried in lard. God yes.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
I just got back from two weeks in the Philippines and had a lot of that while I was over there. Man it was good. And we had a whole roasted pig where we watched them string up the pig and kill right before they cooked it. It was ready the next morning for next breakfast. Nothing like some fresh crispy pig skin with a layer of fat underneath for breakfast.
I've had pork belly twice so far in my life (not counting bacon, but I consider pork belly its own entity separate from bacon). I sincerely need to make it happen more.
That photo is pretty enough to bring a tear to a lady's eye.

Its what you WANT out of a Transformers movie. If you've been disappointed with all the summer sequels so far (Pirates 3, Fantastic Four 2, Spider-Man 3), this will renew your hope in eagerly awaited movies. Every minute of the action was awesome and most of the beginning of the movie was actually very funny.
So go watch it if you havent already!

Just got back from watching Transformers. I dont really want to spoil anything for anyone but let me just say this:

I totally agree!! This movie was awesome!!!

I saw this sucker at 8 last night. It freaking rocks. Keep in mind that I was a kid who grew-up playing with Transformers, who is now a 30-something with an office decorated with Transformers. I am an old-school fan, and I can't say enough how great this movie is. My wife even loved it.

1. Stereotypical black character (Jazz) dies = fail
2. Megatron is killed in the first movie = fail
3. overabundance of campiness = fail
4. Frenzy is the new Jar Jar Binks = fail
5. Devastator is a tank not a combiner = fail
6. Why was Scorponok in it?
7. Transforming Mountain Dew vending machine is EXTREME!! = fail
8. lame attempts at humor (e.g., stereotypical loud annoying black family, Indian phone guy breaking the sense of action in the Scorponok scene, black robot just HAS to breakdance (I really wish I was making that up), "masturbation scene," robot pissing, etc.) = autofail
9. If the Decepticons die so easily on Earth, why did they pose any semblance of a threat on Cybertron?
10. Megatron being "killed" by a human.
11. The transforming sound doesn't fit. At all.
12. MacGuffin: chasing after grandpa's glasses (again, I wish I was making this shit up). = fail
13. The blonde chick has the most ridiculous and annoying accent I've ever heard.
14. Clichéd clueless government that needs the help of a rogue hacker who loves DDR.
No doubt they'll resurrect Megatron for the next movie. I heard Unicron is set to be in it. I'd sooner watch a movie about My Little Pony than the next TF. Hell, combine them both to get "Unicorns vs. Unicron."
The only TF that really kicked ass was Starscream. He was possibly the one TF that was most closest to the original (even a hint dropped about his feud with Megatron). Unfortunately, he didn't have a lot of screen time or dialogue.
I'm sure that this movie will break records and win awards for the FX/CGI. I only recommend watching this movie solely for the visual effects. Find yourself a good theater with an excellent sound system and DLP if possible. Just don't expect anything other than a mindless action movie with giant robots. This movie is as Bay as it gets.

just wanted to point out that Scorponok was also in Transformers (the series) not only Beast Wars, which is probably why they chose him.
hands down the best movie

As for what Metaldevil has to say about the movie, I can only agree with 2 of your little statements. Devastor isn't a tank. Its cool that they made a TF a tank, but he isn't an individual TF. Megatron WILL likely be resurrected. How many times has he died or thought to be dead and came back. He'll be back some how. As for the rest of your thoughts;
1. How do you know jazz is a "black" character? I think its a little stupid to call him the "stereotypical" black character. His original character was a TF that was musical and used sound waves and such. I think they did a good job getting his personality onto the big screen.
2. Already explain above.
3. This is the first time they've shown themselves to humans. Do you not think that they would want to camp and remain hidden? It'd cause more chaos than anything having giant robots walking around everywhere, with humans aware of them.
4. I thought frenzy was actually kind of funny. I don't think there was a single time in any star wars movie where Jar Jar Binks was funny. Actually, he reminded me of a Gremlin than anything else.
6. Scorpinok was a good addition, especially for the desert scenes. He was a lot smaller than he was in the original cartoons, but he suited his purpose.
7. The transforming pop machine wasn't the only object transformed by the allspark. It was a good example of what it actually could do if in the wrong hands.
8. These scenes were funny as hell. The fact that Duhamel is calling for support, and gets an operator instead is just fucking classic. Anthony Anderson is classic. The dude is funny. If the movie went that way for humor, then thats what they did.. Like EVERY OTHER COMEDY that has a black family in it. You know how i stand on Jazz.
9. It didn't look like it was easy for the TF's to kill each other. Other than Megatron killing Jazz.
10. I thought the kid killing Megatron was smart. What other choice did he have at that point of time? Don't get me wrong, it would have been nice to see Optimus rip him apart.
11. I don't know what you were expecting for sound effects and voices, but when i first heard the sound, i was fucking pumped that they even added it. I thought it was realistic for a live action movie.
12. The glasses made sense. Once they were explained, and you seen optimus use them, it all added up and was a good idea. Mind you, there could have been 40 different things they could have done or used to create some sort of map, they ran with the glasses and it worked.
13. I don't care how stupid her accent is.. She's sexy as hell. I can tune her out.
14. Where do you think the government gets its anit-hackers?
From the sounds of your post, you were against this movie before you even entered the theatre. Which in turn would make you focus on some retarded little things, rather than the scale and awesomeness of a live action TF movie.
I don't understand how you could enjoy a movie like Spiderman 3 and not Transformers.
Posted 07 July 2007 - 02:06 AM
Black characters in movies are often portrayed as "mouthy guys with a hip hop attitude." Also, they tend to get killed more frequently than other races in movies (lots of times if they're the minority in said movies).
I'm not saying you "sux0rz" because you liked it; I'm saying I didn't (and some of my reasons why). I could probably have been satisfied with 45 minutes cut out of the movie while replacing a lot of the crap scenes with the Transformers conversing/reacting to/communicating/fighting with each other. Their personalities could have been fleshed out much more, too. They're too one-sided in the movie (e.g., "I lead!"; "I'm cruel but cool."; "I fix things."; "What's happenin', bitches?"; And Bumblebee). Realistically, I don't expect a movie based on 20-year-old toys (which feels more like a two and a half hour commercial for the American automotive industry) to be engaging. So kudos to you if you liked it, and kudos to you if you didn't.

NEW YORK - The first time Kyle Farnsworth faced Jimmy Rollins, it was 2001 at Veterans Stadium. He encountered Chase Utley in 2004 and Ryan Howard in 2005. Farnsworth, reincarnated as a 38-year-old Mets closer, recorded the first two outs of Saturday's ninth inning. That is when Rollins stepped to the plate.
"It felt like old times out there," Howard said.
The elder Phillies produced a two-out rally seen countless times before. They won, 5-4, because those veteran infielders amassed nine hits and two walks. In the ninth, Rollins walked. Utley singled. Howard ripped through a 95-m.p.h. fastball to single home the winning run.

The postcode area of hackney Central is E8. Hackney developed from Hackney Village. The place became prominent during the Tudors, when the principal court members had their homes in the surrounding areas. Near the the modern Lee Bridge roundabout was one of Henry VIII's palaces.
