Transformers 4 - ongoing news thread

[griffin]

Just to prevent anyone going off and posting this as news, this is not true... I just remembered how much China avoids the number 4 (due to it using the same word as "death")... but in all seriousness, this movie will most likely avoid using the number 4 in all promotional material in China. And since this fourth one is targeting China more than the West, Bay or Paramount would do whatever it takes to make it succeed (and not give people the idea that it will be cursed with death).

Hmm, you bring up an interesting point. I wonder how the Chinese will deal with this ..dilemma.

Or if there will be some truth to this superstition...

Well technically, going by the christian calander, it should be 2011 since the years 666 and 1666 were skipped as it contained the number of the devil

Out of curiosity, where would that info come from?

Well I checked it out last time I time traveled. It pretty much runs along the same lines as the others as good way to waste just over 2 hours of your life on mind numbing entertainment. Along with plenty of fanboys crying into their popcorn, piles of money made at the box office and numerous more bumblebee toys.

This is the second time in 2 months Griff has had to point out to someone I was not being serious, maybe I need to throw a cream pie while sitting on a whoopie cushion when I write these things so they are more obvious as subtle does not seem to fly. Maybe I could put in 5 's in a row or something
