Transformers

It's been 5 months since I went to a movie theatre, but yesterday after work I was chatting with a coworker and got to join him and some people for dinner and to watch Transformers. Dinner was at Japanese village... kindof a neat place, they cook the stuff in front of you and try to make it entertaining. The food was pretty good, but not a large portion. And was pretty expensive (I paid $29 total and didn't even have a drink). Nice to go to once, but probably not again.

While waiting for the movie, played some Wii for the first time. It was pretty neat. Not as impressive as I expected, though that could depend a lot on the game.

Watched Transformers. I was disappointed. It was cool, but not super-cool. There was too much blatant product placement. And lots of things that just didn't make sense, even if you're trying not to think much during the movie. But the worst I found were all the super-close-ups. Seems like half the movie was just zoomed in scenes of lots of metal bits whirling around as something transformed or people fought or whatever. Halfway through the movie I was feeling sick, and after the movie I went and threw up. (could be related to the food, but I think it was more from the movie, though I don't normally get motion sickness).
