Movie Morsels 12.5 - Transformers 2

Hmm... well, there might be some good movie news this morning after all! After rolling my eyes at TunaFlix's Spider-Man 4 entry, I came across this tidbit o' news:

In an interview with MTV, Michael Bay had some good news for Transformers fans: Transformers 2 “is not a lame sequel.”

Ok… but what does that mean exactly? ” ‘You know how those sequels they do the second one so you go see the third one? [”Transformers 2″] is it,’ ” he said, indicating that “2” would be its own story free from the duel shackles of set-up or resolution. ” ‘First one was just introducing, setting up stuff, so we can go a lot farther.‘ ”

There’s nothing more annoying than waiting years for a sequel only to be teased by a To-Be-Continued ending, so it’s nice to hear Transformers 2 will be self-contained, no matter how it turns out.

Hey! That would be awesome! I haven't seen the first one - foisted that off on my brother-in-law to accompany Robert - but I'm always happy to hear that there's one less Michael Bay movie in the world. :o) Whee!
