The point you make in the last sentence here makes this post much more effective as a criticism of Transformers than any additional treatment of the movie’s ludicrousness ever could have.

And that’s why you’re also better than Chris Carter.

I appreciate the compliments, but you people need to trust me when I tell you that this is all there is. To continue with the parody would be like forcing a beloved TV show to do an extra season even after all the inspiration and creativity had been used up. If I were to “finish” the parody, you would read it and think, “Eh… He sort of ran out of ideas after that second scene, didn’t he?” So take my word for it. You don’t want more. Thank you, though.

Eric, find some Dr. Pepper and go back to the creative wellspring to finish this one. Very good and very funny. I actually haven’t seen the film yet, but I’m kinda dying to see the train wreck and Bayhem. The critics have not been kind, and I didn’t even really like the first one all that much. Still….like a repulsive tractor beam, I feel drawn to its sheer badness.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t actually seen the movie, or perhaps because I haven’t really bothered with reading other parodies or criticisms, but this was definitely quite funny to me.

It just goes to show that you can’t fake creative influence. Oh, unless you have access to flashy CGI-effects. Then you’ll make millions of dollars.

I can’t tell if these movies are parodies of themselves, or take themselves so seriously while being so bland and silly that there’s no reason to do parodies of them.

*pouting*

I’d rather read your plot synopsis rather than any other sensible one out there.

There better be a “New Moon” parody to tag along with your “Twilight” one.

Dang it, Eric, how the heck am I supposed to know what happens in the film now?
