Get EM! Anything to prove the point that Portis is the man in Washington and LB is the Spell.
Some of the stuff on this board is nuts. What is next? Vernon Fox is better than Taylor or Dirty Dirty?

Saw the movie today. It was pretty bad ass. Love Bumblebee. Glad to see he was in the movie. I didn't care much for the way they made that Decepticon that would transform into a cassette (he's a boombox in this one). His name escapes me now. He was a little too Jar Jar Binksy for me.
But Optimus and the other autobots looked awesome. Though in some scenes it was a bit hard to tell who was who. But who cares, it was still bad ass. After the movie, I went to the parking lot and hugged my RAV4. Who knows, maybe he's a robot in disguise protecting me at all times.
And Eddie from Family Matters was the voice of Jazz!
Anyhow, pour a 40 on the sidewalk for OP

Marines and Navy do not wear Berets.
and i never said they did. you said they never wear red, but the marines have red around their rank insignia's on their dress uniforms. this movie was 100% airforce though.
USAF para-rescue (maroon beret):
Photo Gallery - Downloads - USAF PARARESCUE - That Others May Live... (http://www.pararescue.com/gallery/gallery.asp?photo=251)
so that's not only for army airborne. CC's in the USAF wear scarlet berets, so saying no one uses them isn't really correct either. BOTH AFSC's are considered special ops.
United States
Berets were originally worn by elite forces in the United States Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army). Hence, there was controversy when in 2001 the United States Army adopted the black beret, previously reserved for the Rangers, as standard headgear for all army units.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beret#_note-10) The Rangers are now distinguished by tan berets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_beret). The United States Army Special Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Special_Forces) are generally known as "green berets" for the colour of their headgear. Soldiers in special operations units wear distinctive organisational flashes. Conventional forces wear a pale blue flash with thirteen white stars. Officers wear their rank emblem within the flash, while enlisted ranks wear their regimental unit insignia. United States Army units can be distinguished by the colour of their berets, as follows:
Jungle green (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_beret) — Special Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Special_Forces), JFK Special Warfare School
Tan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_beret) — 75th Ranger Regiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Rangers), Ranger Training Brigade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_School)
Maroon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon_beret) — paratroopers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratrooper) and all other Airborne units except 101st Airborne Division (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_Airborne_Division_%28United_States%29), other special operators (Civil Affairs, PSYOP) on jump status or under an airborne unit. Soldiers do not have to be jump qualified to wear the maroon beret
Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_beret) — all other Army unitsThe wearing of berets in the United States Air Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force) is less common, but several career fields are authorised to wear berets of specific colours, as follows:
Scarlet — Combat Controllers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Combat_Control)
Maroon — Pararescue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Pararescue)
Navy blue — Security Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Security_Forces)
Black — Tactical Air Control Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_Air_Control_Party)
Pewter grey — Special Operations Weather Technicians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Special_Operations_Weather_Technician)
Grey — Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SERE)
Academy blue — First Class (Senior) Academy Cadets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Academy)Black berets are authorised as an optional-wear item for women E1-E9 in the United States Navy.

Soundwave? Did he have the panther and vulture cassettes in the movie? I really want to see it but I've used up a lot of "my time" recently so it will cost me much valued points with The Lady if I go anytime soon.

i watched the late show and just got back. Great movie for the summer. Some people say its one of the better movies in years but these aren't exactly my favorite types of movies. However, I still loved this movie and may actually go watch it again if some of my other friends ask me.

It wasn't actually soundwave but a new transformer called Frenzy. he was pretty much the only part I didn't like cuz he sounded like the great cornholio in robot form. awesome awesome movie that I went to see twice within the first 24 hours of it being released and I want to go see it again. bay is a genious when it comes to action sequences and I can't wait to see the next one. It was the most fun I've had seeing a movie all year.

Oh ok. I thought basically they just decided to make Soundwave a boombox. Just like Megatron wasn't a gun like he was (I believe) back in 1986.
If Smoot leaves again (other than retiring or just getting old) I'm changing my name (again) to Optimus Mod. Let it be known
