Lame beyond belief. <br /><br />If I wanted inanimate objects to come to life, I'd rather go for Svankmajer. <br /><br />Hey--Jan Svankmajer directing the 3rd Transformers movie might actually be interesting. Lots of robots getting it on and eating each other.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-56935266467040474742009-10-07T23:25:09.883-04:002009-10-07T23:25:09.883-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Cde.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-90108324144128325562009-10-07T23:24:46.129-04:002009-10-07T23:24:46.129-04:00Mother is brilliant.
