I'm imagining Zack Snyder throwing his headset and screaming "CUT!" and demanding they refill the tub to shoot it over again to get the right amount of water displacement.

Critical analysis doesn't concern itself with the effort the creator put into an image, just that the image is there and readable, and follows a certain logic the critic decides on. But besides that, Zack Snyder is an art house director with a love of genre films, he's most definitely put more details into scenes and their meaning than I could gather. Critical analysis is about the viewer finding meaning in art, from whatever their view point is. No one is wrong unless it severely deviates from the text of the film, like saying Clark isn't a Jesus allegory.

And I don't care if you think I'm being pretentious, this film asks more questions than a typical blockbuster and I find it extremely fascinating. Film analysis is all about finding "bigger existential" meanings, especially in a film where a man prays to the "creator of heaven and earth" while laser beam eyes destroy the building he's standing in.

The Decepticons are, in this series at least, the actual champions of the working class. Optimus may drape himself shiny trucker clothes, but that's a farce akin to Romney visiting a small-town factory on the campaign trail. Where the other imagery of Decepticon monstrousity had mostly to do with their race or gender, Devastator is a monstrous vision of the workers united.

Of course, the race and gender aspect is still a part of it: Devastator is hunched like an ape, and features a massive vagina-dentata mouth, in the tradition of Predator. But check the middle of Devastator's transformation sequence: one of his hands walks around on its own, before joining with the body. There are a ton of horror movies where the hand revolts against the mind, as in District 9 - with obvious connotations. Here, though, Devastator's body is entirely "hands". This isn't imagery of lost agency, but of communion. The workers literally unite as a single entity.

I would actually argue that Devastator didn't "fail to kill" Skids (or Mudflap, whichever). I choose to believe that he spared them.

The specific means by which Devastator is eventually killed present a very important contrast, so keep an eye out for that

Have you *seen* Sucker Punch? The man is clearly operating at a level modern film audiences (MCU & Bryan Singer fans) just aren't able to appreciate yet.

Why don't all you neoliberals and social liberals join the Libdems then? I don't understand why the heck all these liberals get attracted to social-democratic parties, continue to piss on all the socdem ideals and then cry foul when people want to go back to what a labour party should actually stand for.

LABOUR PARTY

It's in the name. God damn it is the same as all those other socdem parties in Europe that got infiltrated by these Starbucks Liberals.

I can't imagine what kind of a state you have to be in to devote this much time and effort to jam your ridiculous interpretations into a movie about giant robots exploding a lot that's based on a line of toys.

Cookie dough is the best straight from the tube. Normal cookies are alright, but pecan sandies (shortbread cookies with pecan pieces) shit on every traditional cookie, baked fresh or not. Cookie dough chunks in icecream taste completely different than the tube dough. Its the consistency and texture of cookie dough from the tube that makes it taste so good.

Haven't had tube dough in many years.
