Sorry. Playing Wow or any MMO is not criteria for being a Nerd. Geeks become obsessed with things. Nerds figure things out easily and usually don't have the mental filters necessary to not share their gained knowledge with everyone. Both terms are not mutually exclusive of each other.

When it comes to computers, math and my job, I am a Nerd. When it comes to sports and music, I am a geek.



Meh, I'll wait for the rental.

I haven't seen the first one.

Meagan Fox is the only reason I'd even consider watching the first one.

I'm not planning on seeing the second one either.

I guess I'm officially old now and I'm only 34, because I just don't see the appeal of these from watching the previews. Looks like virtually every other Hollywood summer "blockbuster" from the past 10-15 years: Built for 12-13 year-old kids who barely have the brain capacity to analyze anything besides explosions and battle/fight scenes. Terrible script, poorly developed story lines, but lots of explosions = summer hit.

Oh, you need to see the first one. It's entertaining and Megan Fox, just wow.

Ironically I think this is the demographic the producer was aiming these films at. I grew up watching Transformers and it was far and away my favorite "toon" of the 80's...I'm 33 btw..

That being said, I think this is has to be the movie of the year!

While maybe not written quite as well as the first, it still delivers all the heart-pounding action and special effects of the first...

Oh yeah...and Megan Fox....nuff said!

edit: he also ruins any movie he is in.

Then you probably won't be a big fan of the Indiana Jones series from here on out, because he's the dude...
