After a couple of high-profile box-office weekends, this one was just plain old boring. Thing are going to be lively enough come Wednesday, though, so don’t feel too bad for all those ticket sellers and popcorn slingers.

July the 4th fell on a Saturday this year, so rib bones and corn-on-the-cobb put a bit of a dent in the box-office. Or did it?

As if this past week’s disaster of a movie (not box-office mind you, but quality) wasn’t enough to quell America’s need to see Michael Bay blow shit up and, in essence, ruining an entire generation’s TV series and toy line, Bay has already begun doing press for his next projects, including yet another Transformers film.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen scored a whopping $60.6 million on its opening day. That figure includes an equally whopping $16 million for Tuesday-night midnight shows.
According to Variety, this sets a new record for biggest Wednesday opening of all time.
Consider that this movie is on track to make more in its first three days than Star Trek and Up made put together in their opening weekends, and weep a bit.
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”
by Honk Mahfah on Jun.24, 2009, under Movies, Steven Spielberg
I had a very complex emotional reaction to Transformers: Revenge of the Sith, or Transformers: Rise of the Lycans, or whatever this “movie” is called. Yes, that’s right: a complex emotional reaction.

If only I was what? What qualities am I lacking that make it possible for other people to love these movies, whereas I dislike them so entirely that I can’t even quite remember what the second one was about only a few hours after seeing it?
