Cinematic: Transformers in Egypt


Shia LaBeouf bigger than the pyramids of course!


It's always possible for a Megatron to be slightly taller than the Sphinx

Transformers Revenge of The Fallen, pays Egypt a happy visit! as the battle between the Megatrons & the Decepticons heats up! I'm always thrilled to see our land marks on the silver screen but I just can't get over watching the pyramid get demolished. Egypt is a hot spot in movies these days; Twilight? Apotamkin? rings a bell? yes, we suck blood, we're scary. Iron Man? the terrorist? yes, we breed them! needless to say that we sleep under camels and wrap ourselves with tents (we do worse!). Why is it too much to see the "Other" as "Normal"? Why the constant stigmatization of any thing Egyptian? Hard feelings since the Exodus? We weren't there... The da** Pharaoh got what he deserved...just saying, Gosh!
