Yay!

Close to final numbers are in, and Transformers has placed second to The Dark Knight in five-day totals, earning $201.2 million compared with TDK's $203.8 million. To twist the knife in further, The New York Times had this to say (which obviously I had to copy and paste):

"Few expect this “Transformers” to match the staying power of “The Dark Knight” because the new picture, directed by Michael Bay, with Steven Spielberg as executive producer, has received some of the worst reviews of the decade. Roger Ebert’s critique used the terms “horrible,” “unbearable,” “meager” and “music of hell” to describe it. (And that was just in the opening paragraph.)"

In any case, I'll probably celebrate by writing at least five more posts trashing Transformers without seeing it.
