"The testicles are in the script," Kurtzman said. "Well, it's a construction machine, so you of course have wrecking balls."

Meh -- A robot with testicles doesn't necessarily make for a bad script. It may be a tasteless idea, but it doesn't mean that the plot or dialog is necessarily going to be poorly crafted. It may be a symptom of a bigger problem, but the robotic testicles themselves aren't a sign of poor writing (although I do hear it's a bad film).
If their bank books can take it, I think Kurtzman and Orci would be better off never working with Michael Bay again.

I just got back from the last Star Trek showing at our IMAX. It let us out around 9 p.m., and there were about 35 people in line for the midnight Transformers show.
26% Rotten Tomatoes rating.
Maybe it'll rake it in first week, and fade quickly.
But even at that, it'll beat Trek easily... not that I care, but maybe Trek has a chance to hang around longer once the initial onslaught is over, since people will view it again to get the taste of Tr2 out of their mouths.
I can hope, anyway.

Orci and Kurtzman didn´t come up with the idea. Their co-writer did. Sorry, O and K are still two of the best writers out there.
23% fresh now. Even the few positive ratings are damning it with faint praise... like this guy.

Not a good time to get hungry.

While they don't appear to have opposed it, it is not at all clear they would have thought of this on their own.
You would think.
That said, my sister took my 3 month old niece to see Star Trek!
Yup. I'm not kidding. She was born 28th Feb 2009. One of the cinemas in Manchester actually has "mother & baby" shows on a thursday morning.
I said to my sister "Did she not go insane?"
- but she said "Nope, she slept right through it". Well, at least she's starting young...
To be fair, those "mother and baby" screenings have the volume turned waaayyyy down (so my wife says, I wouldn't go near a cinema filled with babies and toddlers for anything less than a six figure prize).

Whew, he has some awful things to say about the story and dialog. I wonder if it will impact the box office at all.
A great idea; the lady across the street is due in August; I might try to find one for her. She went to see Star Trek in the IMAX with me, so the baby already has a big dose of loud Trek.
I like it!
Not initially, probably; but it might chop the legs out from under it and extend Trek's theater life some.
BTW--22% now.
I'm going to keep an eye on the IMAX, of course; but I'm not holding my breath. I hope someone will say around here if it happens.
Well the reviews I read today in two local papers are seriously panning this movie. They said while the first one was ridiculous it was still endearing...but this next installment is just plain ridiculous. I know that these negative reviews don't seem to matter to the movie going public....and the review also described Shia's acting is like "watching a kitten die"....harsh!
21% at RT...
