More than meets the slanted eye.

No, that’s not the actual tag line for the crap-fest that will be Transformers 3…but it might as well be. More on that in a minute though. For all of you transformers lovers, great news! From Michael Bay’s blog,

Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

There may have been a failed attempt at humor in there. For those who don’t know Fox and Bay have been throwing a little hissy fit with each other, even though they’re the only two people that seem to care.

Forget that though…Transformers 3! 7/1/2011. I can hardly wait. Maybe we can have an Asian autobot that knows karate? Or a Jewish autobot that saves money? And his arch-nemesis will be a decepticon that is an American Indian that runs a casino. Yeah!

The fact that America unfortunately won’t catch on to the fact that 2 hours of CGI does not make up for a movie without a plot and with more racial stereotypes than an episode of Amos & Andy…it makes me worry about you guys juuuuuuuuuuuuusssssst a little bit.
