Bargain Alert, and transformers

Leann Follain, a nice stout from O'Haras, is available in Superquinn at the price of around €5.70 for 3 bottles. That's not bad for a nice beer!

I've been to see Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen today, thanks to those cloud droppings. I think those reviews are right, it is too long, and it is too fussy. There are too many unnecessary transformer characters - there are twins for example, that are just silly and superfluous. And how come Optimus can transform totally in a fraction of a second during battle, but when he has to talk to the NEST leader on the telephone (off-screen, of course....) it takes him (seems like) 10 minutes?

Ach of course, it's brainless, with beautiful and accomplished (if overdone) CGI. I suspect, however, that it could have been a lot better. If they'd just kept it simple, with the usual cast of characters (ok, replace Jazz, and maybe add one or 2 to freshen it up....) and a similar story I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it more. Roll on the threequel.

Also did anyone else notice that the carrier they blew up was number 74 in one shot, but 2 shots later became 71? Did I imagine that? (I know 74 was on view much later on in the film too.....). Yes, turns out I was right. More here, if you want to read about nerdy errors!

Rating? Average. And that's only cos I like transformers...
