Trivia John Turturro was allowed to climb the pyramids during filming in Egypt. At one point, he simply broke down crying. When Michael Bay questioned him, he said, "You just don't get to do this in movies. You don't get to shoot in a place that's 4, years old. Quotes Sam Witwicky : Bee, if you hate me I understand. Crazy credits The DreamWorks and Paramount logos are accompanied by a series of robotic sounds.
Alternate versions The mainland Chinese release censors all mentions of the name "Shanghai" where the opening battle takes place. Galloway's line "You guys made a mess at Shanghai" is edited to remove the last two words, while other uses of the city's name are bizarrely overdubbed with something that sounds like "Shanghaish.
Connections Edited from Transformers Records Inc. User reviews 1. Top review. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a good movie with a pretty good storyline and an average cast. Its definitely not as enjoyable as the first Transformers and it goes on too long,also an awful lot of the movie is very long action sequences,that go on for so long that after a while you don't even know whats going on.
Shia Labeouf is just as good as the first,but Megan Fox is probably worse,I didn't like her in the first and I didn't like her in this,she is very attractive that is clearly the only reason she makes it in such big movies,because she can not act. Like the first my favourite actors are definitely the voice actors,they do a very impressive job voicing these strong characters,and the addition of the small auto it's was very humorous and added as a good comic relief.
Fans of the first Transformers will be disappointed,but Revenge of the Fallen is still a good sequel. After leaving Bumblebee and the other Autobots for college,Sam Shia Labeouf starts experiencing weird symbols in his head that result in the return of the Decepticons.

Hulu is a great idea. They would seem to be trying to have all recent TV available online, either directly or redirected to other sites. With one exception, that being series that are available on DVD; for these, usually the most recent five shows are available. The concept is great. Watch TV whenever you want, from your computer or even your phone, and in HD. Their revenue comes the same way as broadcast TV - commercials. Sometimes there's one long 60 second one at the beginning, but usually they are at the usual break points.
Though there's usually only one second commercial each break, not six. They usually have the latest several episodes of new television series, though usually with a week delay. They have some movies, though in numbers that they're just a bonus, not a deciding factor. BBC America, for instance, doesn't have their content on Hulu; they offer it on iTunes instead, on a paid subscription basis releasing new shows as soon as they've aired.
That means no Doctor Who, Torchwood, or Primeval. Hulu offers a Hulu Desktop application that offers Media Center-style features and even works with Media Center remotes on Windows or Macintosh remotes. The menus are easier to navigate than through the webpage, and media suggestions are made and easy to use. For instance, after completing one episode of a television show, the next episode will be suggested. The Hulu website allows searching for a specific series, and while series are not sub-categorized by season, searches can include this, such as "Babylon 5 season 2".
Content is also listed by genre, referred to as Channels, such as "Science Fiction" or "Animation and Cartoons". Searches can be difficult to narrow, including descriptions without a clear way to change this. Also, the TV shows and movies are intermixed. As an example of both issues, a search for "Alien Nation" turns up eight listings. Five of these are movies "feature films" , two are TV show excerpts that refer to th e "Alien Nation" series, and o ne is listed as a "full episode" titled "Retro Minute" that, as the name indicates, is only one minute long.
While selectable filters by title are listed, each movie is listed separately one episode each. No episodes of the "Alien Nation" TV show are currently available. Content is often incomplete. For instance, Babylon 5 only has the first two seasons and none of the movies the site says they have requested permission for more seasons.
Stargate SG1 only has the first three seasons and Stargate Atlantis only has the fifth season, though in their defense, these series are available on DVD.
The quality is also a little lower than I'd like, though better than YouTube. And programs are stereo even when the original was encoded with surround. The biggest problem is broadcast quality due to streaming the programs. I have a 6Mb connection over fiber optic, a quality connection with high speed and low latency, but the stream still stutters.
I can understand this some, considering they have to be experiencing great demand. But they need to give me the option of downloading the content so I am not tied to the Internet speed. And the video smoothness appears to be a problem in the media player interface, since at that point the video is already on my computer.
This program in large part serves to insert the commercials which are not in the original video file. There is a way around the problems, albeit one that requires a little patience. A program called Hulu Downloader allows downloading the Hulu programs.
The standard version is free, and it does not have any spyware or ads other than opening the home page on closing, if you're using the free version. But it does have some quirks; it sometimes crashes, it sometimes loses its connection to files and won't restart them, and the free version will only capture the standard-quality recordings, but that's a compromise for a free version. It's also a little slow, a little better than real-time. So, I simply start transferring the next few shows while watching one I already have.
It also can only handle three files at a time; I just close and restart the program every three files. Paid programs that also do the job are available, but the whole idea is that TV is supposed to be free.
I have read reports of other programs that can transfer a recording in only a few minutes. If I have one of the shows already on my computer, it plays fine. The video is smooth, unlike through the web page. I like getting MPC from Codec Guide since they include all the codecs you might need which tell the program how to handle odd file formats like Flash as well as the latest version of Media Player Classic.
I don't keep the files; I just watch them and delete them in standard DVR fashion. Downloading the content does not pose any copyright issues as these programs are licensed for broadcast; courts have already held "time-shifting", recording programs now for playback later, to be legal, as long as the user has legal access to the live program.
As a note, the downloaded file does not have any commercials. Ironically, when I download the file to avoid the quality problems of streaming video, Hulu also loses their revenue stream no pun intended. I wouldn't mind the commercials, but Hulu decided to handle things that way.
Hulu usually has the latest several episodes of new television series. Basic cable would only have one show a week, so being able to catch up past weeks is just bonus.
Just make sure Hulu carries the shows you are interested in before making any changes to your subscriptions. Video quality when watching a stream is lower than I would prefer. If you're not as picky as I am, this might not be a problem. GoToMyPC has been advertising on the radio for some time. LogMeIn has started doing so more recently, and not as heavily. LogMeIn has a basic free service. GoToMyPC only has paid services. Most people use the services simply to remotely access a computer, such as accessing your work computer from home, as if you're sitting at the other computer.
LogMeIn Free does this just fine, and just as securely non-hackable, etc as the paid versions. The paid versions GoToMyPC or LogMeIn Pro add things like remote printing print while you're connected to your office computer, and the printout goes to your printer at home , sound hear the sound when you get a new email or watch a training video , and file transfer. Sure, these are nice, but they may not be needed in your situation. A big factor, however, is that LogMeIn handles computer accounts similarly, whether paid or free, and a single user account can handle multiple computers.
For example, you can have a Pro account to access your office computer. But you can then install the free version on your home desk computer check your home email , your media center computer schedule a TV recording, download a video you just heard about before you forget about it , and your parents' computer to provide support.
All of them can be handles through a single account - you just log into the website and pick which computer you want to use. If you need to access a lot of computers server support from home without complex VPN configuration , you can create groups to sort them home, work, servers, family.
More useful in a business environment than at home, you have a lot of options, say, creating user accounts for telecommuting office workers while retaining administrative privileges. And there is a support version so users can request support and you can help them, without even having the software installed in advance. Administrative and reporting tools are also available.
But the real key is simplicity. My sister has a home business in Georgia. My mother handles her accounting, and has the accounting software installed on her computer at her home in Tennessee. If my sister needs to look at something, she can use LogMeIn Free to check it, and they can save big bucks because they don't need an expensive multi-user accounting package.
My mother called me with a question on laying out a flyer. I used LogMeIn Free to access her computer and see what she was trying to do; I could then walk her through what she wanted. But it is safe. It requires several sets of usernames and secure passwords. To access a computer, I first have to log into the LogMeIn website with an account that is authorized to access the computer in question. I can use my own username and password since my sister's account has me as an administrator.
I then have to log into the computer with a local username and password - I can't log in remotely unless I could log in physically. If the computer accounts don't have passwords, a substitute passcode will be required. Though it does not have the restriction of Remote Desktop - the computer login does not automatically log me into the computer; I can log in or out as necessary with any credentials I may have, all under the same remote session.
And all information is sent encrypted. Saturday, June 6, Kudos to Target Pharmacy. Thursday I went to Target to get a pharmacy prescription refilled. As usual there, the lady told me that the prescription would be ready in minutes. When I came back, she apologized that my prescription had expired. It seems that prescriptions are only valid for one year, so if the prescription covers refills for a year it's easy for the prescription to have expired before the last refill is obtained.
She then said that she had already contacted the doctor's office for an extension and was waiting for a reply. She said to check back tomorrow Friday or Monday; and since I only had one pill left, she gave me three more to cover the weekend.
On Friday, I called since I had to be in the area anyway. While I had to navigate the phone menu to get someone, when I did get someone, she remembered me right away. She said that they had heard back from the doctor and that my refill was ready. When I got to the store a few minutes later, she had my refill waiting, with 87 pills instead of 90 to make up for the three she gave me the day before.
She said that the doctor had called with the prescription 10 minutes after I left and they had filled it right away. In comparison, the most popular pharmacy chain in the country, Walmart, would have required I wait in line for 15 minutes just to check the status of the refill.
On my first check, the response is usually that they just got the request, even if I had placed it two hours previously in the hope it would actually be ready. They usually then say that they will "put a rush on it" and to check back in minutes down from the minute normal wait.
