My EYES! Oh AAARRGGH I CAN STILL SEE IT



OK - full disclosure: I have a guilty pleasure. Well, several actually, but this post isn't about monkeys. I'm a geek, and I relax by geeking out and watching mindless sci-fi movies. If it has robots, spaceships, lasers, monkeys, hot chicks in boots, and/or dragons - that's my way of breathing deep and saying "ooohhhhhmmmm". So after a trying week, I just tried relaxing by watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I couldn't do it. Even though things were blowing up and Megan Fox was never assigned pants by the wardrobe department, by 23 minutes in, I wanted to tear out my eyes with my own teeth. I don't know how a movie could suck this much while spending so much money, but then again I didn't watch the royal wedding today.

Anyhow - in summation: given a choice between watching this movie or having to live for a week inside Carrot-top's mouth , the choice is clear. Don't. Waste. Your. Time.

And my new favorite Archer episode is...

El Sequestro from season 2! Not least because this was tattooed on Pam's back:

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Season two isn't on DVD yet, but if you haven't seen this show, WATCH IT NOW.  Archer: Season 1

C'mon, how many cartoons are quoting Lord Byron?
