Transformers: Dark of the MoonDecepticon-powered Chevy Suburbans actually CAN overtake a Camaro, Corvette and Ferrari... link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonAfter finding out that Dylan has been in league with the Decepticons for quite a few years, I think its worth re-examining all those race trophies and wins. Cheater, maybe? link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonGlorified accountants with huge vintage car collections will do anything for a chance to rule the world. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonNo matter how many medals you have, no matter how many times you save the world, that whole "FBI was searching for you" thing is gonna really throw a monkeywrench in the ol' getting hired thing. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonOf course, simply being the "messenger" in a galactic war between two advanced robot-alien factions isn't too shabby a position. It's way better than "innocent bystander that Megatron flicked into a taxi". link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonReferring to the kid that a) killed Megatron with the Allspark, and b) resurrected the only Autobot capable of defeating the Fallen as simply a "messenger" means that a certain NSA Director didn't thoroughly read her briefings... link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonDon't make fun of the kid driving the crappy Datsun. His other car could be an overprotective Camaro with a bad attitude. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonNew to Webster's dictionary in 2011: "Bayhem - the art of firing explosives for the purposes of replacing cinematography, script, and/or plot. Used as a visual distraction. References see: 'Unnecessary fillers', 'Poor direction.'" link
Rating: 6 (+6/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonEpps is pretty gung-ho about kickin' some Decepticon ass up until it's time to actually get into the battlezone. And, before that, he took a job watching a launch pad!? Yep - that guy's a wuss. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonNEST soldiers can wing-suit through urban landscapes like decade-experienced pros. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonFrenzy - beheaded (twice). Ravage - spine ripped out his butt (ouch). Laserbeak - head shot off with a cannon. I don't think being one of Soundwave's minions is all that great a profession. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonKnowing that he was going to betray OP and the 'Bots, Sentinel Prime decides not to take the Matrix of Leadership - the greatest source of power left in existence - when it's offered? Uh, with instincts like that, it's no wonder his leadership wasn't that successful. link
Rating: 3 (+3/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonSo - Sentinel Prime's Autobots were getting their butts kicked so bad that he had to resort to dealing with Megatron, yet he picks a fight with Megs over the difference between "working FOR him" and "working WITH him"? That's ballsy, dude... link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonThe Wreckers got their name due to the fact that, despite their alt-modes being littered with guns and cannons, they prefer to rip their enemies to pieces with their bare hands. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonDespite your geeky looks, bad hair day, and busting a crystal lamp in the Oval Office foyer, all you need to pick up the rich, British Embassy hottie is a medal from Obama and a finger-point-gun maneuver. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonMaybe it was just my theatre, but "Mirage" and "Wheeljack" came out sounding an awful lot like "Dino" and "Q"... link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonThe Decepticons decided to move the focal point of their attack to Chicago 'cause they couldn't get filming permission from D.C. New York and Philadelphia just didn't make sense. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonBack on Cybertron, before the war, Sideswipe was the Rollerskating Disco King. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonPredictably, the Ferrari speaks with an Italian accent, but the Mercedes is British? And don't get me started on the Irish NASCARs... The Autobot UN must be all messed up. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonYou know, for your next-to-last statement before death, "Class Dismissed" after kickin' your enemy's ass has gotta rank up there as pretty awesome. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonEven if your boss categorically detests red, he won't mind when your Victoria's Secret model of a girlfriend comes and drops off some Red Twizzlers. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonIf a tiny Asian guy walks out of a toilet cubicle with another guy, and then immediately gets into a stare down with me, I'd probably flinch pretty quick too... link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonAlways be suspicious when your girlfriend's boss gives her a $200,000 car. I mean, despite the obvious reasons, the whole "Decepticon Bad Guy in alt mode" thing is also pretty compelling. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonI'd have to agree with Mom, you annoying prick - you got two world class hotties - don't count on getting a third. At least, not without another movie franchise and a sympathetic casting director. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonDespite the fact I thought he'd reached his plateau, apparently spray tan CAN make John Malkovich creepier. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonI don't think Rolex made that watch. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonOptimus Prime might not be doing a lot of arm-wrestling for awhile, but I don't think its wise for Decepticons to start picking fights with him. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonEven if you're the most-ass-kickingest-Autobot of all time, if you're not careful flying around you'll still get tangled up in crane wires. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonWhile the Autobots learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web, their former leader - who's been on the cusp of death for decades - will automatically be able to communicate in English upon being revived. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonDr. McDreamy's a real asshole. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonAt 128-bit, the encryption on the entire City of Chicago Bridge system is less than the security on Ebay. Quite possibly less than 100thingsilearned.com as well. Good Job, Windy City! link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonEvery manservant/assistant, no matter how flowery their voice and mannerisms, will be able to kick more ass than their (former) Secret Agent bosses. link

Transformers: Dark of the MoonI know there were guns in the room, but retired Russian Cosmonauts in hiding are pretty quick to give up super secret information. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

Transformers: Dark of the MoonAfter Optimus shoots a Decepticon fighter out of the air - despite the fact its trained pilot couldn't use it anymore - an Autobot will be able to just climb in and go. link
Rating: 1 (+1/-0)

InceptionIt's been so long since I've been to the movies, I'm not even relevant on 100 Things I Learned anymore... even though Shinzon was in this one. link

TransformersThe time between late morning and sundown in Sam's world is about equal to the time it takes to ride his bike downtown (away from his 'haunted' car) and then have a Michael Bay-esque car chase scene with the bad Decepticon. link

TransformersStarscream transforms and flies off directly above the boy holding the freakin' cube and doesn't lay a hand on him? Yeah, that's why Megatron thinks he's incompetent. link
Rating: 2 (+2/-0)

TransformersThe Optimus Prime I grew up with NEVER ended any battles by decapitating Decepticons... but I have to admit, the new OP is pretty badass... link
Rating: 0 (+1/-1)

TransformersWhen the meanest, nastiest Decepticon ever comes walking around the corner, and your buddy shouts "Fall Back!" - just stand there and fire your peashooter at him... Yeah, that won't result in you being torn to pieces... link

TransformersThe explosive force that blows the legs off a Transformer will only knock down the two teenagers standing 15 feet away... and they'll be in good enough shape to start running around the city. link

TransformersCars cut lengthwise - hood to trunk - will split into the front and back halves. link
Rating: 0 (+0/-0)

TransformersThe idea of maintaining consistent mass through transformations was one of the main reasons Michael Bay didn't have Soundwave in this movie as a cassette deck (and substituted Frenzy), but the freakin' 125,00 cubic foot cube minimizing to the point a teenage boy could carry it was A-OK. link

TransformersCounting to 3 trumps counting to 5... and when the guy holding the gun is counting to 3, you should really let the camaro go. link

TransformersWhen fleeing the authorities, its better to have the teenagers sit unsecured on the shoulder of the biggest robot while he runs, rather than jumping in the cockpit of the camaro and speeding off down the road. link

Major LeagueNot always, but sometimes, if you're a ballplayer in a crappy dive bar, and some dastardly hot cougar tells you you're the sexiest man she's ever laid eyes on, it might be a good idea to ask if she's your 3rd baseman's wife. link
