Many years ago these would have been much cooler. The complete terribleness of the films will now come to mind every time you look at your keyboard though, something no one deserves ;)

Oh god they were horrible

But they did give me one of my favorite movie review quotes ever from Mike Ward of Richmond.com.

Quote from: Mike Ward

"Bay's best effort by far. The robot thespians are better actors than the cast of Armageddon and the plot is probably more historically accurate than Pearl Harbor."

My favorite critic, Mark Kermode, just banged his head against things.

I haven't watched the 2nd one yet.  The first one was fine considering the other movies that have come out in recent years but the original 1986 one is about 300-400 times as good as all the movies released in the last 10 years combined so...it's quite a high mark to get to for any movie let alone something made recently in the drought of half decent dialog, acting and directing among other things. lol :)

Who would have thought that Orson Welles final stand would be as a planet eating robot?

most people don't really consider it anime since they never knew it was from Japan since hasbro brought it here but yes the 1986 movie

I hope, for all mankind, that there was some sort of Google Translate mishap involved in that statement.  I'm scared of what he might show us next.

Greetings, I for one am very much fond of your ****. To have come straight out openly with "I have something to sell" omitting any form of deception is most appreciative. Unless you people show integrity through your transactions with the World, how can you expect to extract trust from the World ?
Although it is now a little easier to buy from Taobao as there are many more Agents having been established/establishing, it is still a little too troublesome. Taobao needs to accept international credit transactions ie. Paypal/overseas banks credit/debit-cards etc etc, in order to expand and compete for the World market.


Good luck to your venture, Sue.

I occasionally buy from Taobao using obook (http://www.myobook.net/), a buying agent. You just shoot them an email or skype message with the item # and your location, and they'll give you a quote that you can pay with paypal. They'll even set up an ebay auction where you can rate the transaction. It works for getting puerh teas at least.

I wonder why nobody has asked the most obvious question yet: What will they transform into?

That's the wrong question. Obviously, they transformed into key caps.

What's the point then? We already have keycaps.
I think this **** is ****.
