Access Hollywood recently visited the set of Michael Bay’s Transformers, the live-action adaptation of the 80s cartoon in which alien robots disguise themselves as cars, jets, guns and more, and have produced a segment which can now be viewed online via Michael Bay’s blog. The most interesting bit is the capture of a screen playing an animatic of actor Shia LeBouf (Spike) being attacked by one of the robots, which can be seen transforming from car mode into its humanoid form. A clip of only this animatic is available at Aint-it-cool.com. Transformers is scheduled for release 4 July 2007.

The Daily Telegraph has reported that Mel Gibson is now in talks to reprise his role in a fifth outing in the Lethal Weapon series.
I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
