Transformers: Age of Extinction
I saw the recent Transformers movie last night and it frustrated me. I’m not going into the engineering plausibility of cramming so much material into something the size of a car, that’s one of those points that an engineer has to look beyond.
I’m frustrated with Hollywood because I’m getting tired of their choice of ‘Bad Guys’. It is so easy for them to grab the stereotypical evil person from either some secret government agency or, in this case, a power hungry Aerospace Company.
I know ‘imagination’ costs money and they always take the ‘easy’ route, but it does get worn out after a while. I worked for a giant aerospace company and, at time or another, I was fortunate to work with every level of management in that company. Apparently I didn’t meet the one guy whose office door read ‘Power Hungry Aerospace Executive’.
Notice how you never see a movie about a power hungry studio executive that choses the stereotypical cop, or lawyer, or doctor, or black family, or oriental family, or gay person; based on their personal agenda, or sometimes their funding source. We never see the producer that says, ‘that’s not how it is in most of America.’
Unfortunately ‘it’s the easy way’ that propagates the stereotypes in the first place and a stereotype is the easiest way to portray anyone, so I guess Hollywood will continue doing it for a while.
I actually think the bad guy as an aerospace exec is more creative than the usual generic government/mob/terrorist influenced Russian/Arab/Chinese bad guy. If we are choosing professions as bad guys then they could have gone with evil lawyer or evil advertising executive. I personally think there should be more world domination obsessed speech therapists who train their students to work as their minions….well maybe the just ’cause that my profession. 馃槈
I’ll keep your comments in mind the next time I seek therapy from a magalomaniacal speach therapist.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same
outcome.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it
was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
There is no mystery. Just write what is important to you and write it so the reader can understand you. Good luck.
It’s amazing in support of me to have a site, which is helpful in favor of my know-how.

You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

I am regular reader, how are you everybody? This paragraph posted at
this web page is in fact good.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
