Transformers: The Movie - The Death of Optimus Prime


It doesn't bother me that something I loved as a child has become a popular bastardized version of itself. What bothers me is that the new generation will never fully understand what made Transformers so iconic and why the live action films will never come close to the greatness of G1. We all had our favorite heroes and villains that we grew to love, but how can we now when our favorite robots don't have personalities? The new films aren't even about the Transformers, they're about special effects. The Transformers don't resemble themselves, they're incredibly shallow and simple. And since when did humans get this much face time in any of the Transformers series? The Transformers bread and butter has always been the interaction between the Autobots and Decepticons, who gives a fuck about the American military in a Transformers movie? Thank goodness for the 1986 animated film Transformers: The Movie, sure it was a marketing ploy to push the toys, but it was a marketing ploy with emotion god dammit. We cared about Optimus and we hated Hot Rod for what he did, we had actual feelings towards the characters, now all we care about is Megan Fox and CGI explosions. Sad.

Let The Right One In - The Pool Scene


Sometimes the best horror is what your mind sees and not your eyes. The same goes for movie deaths, an off-screen death can be just as effective if not more than seeing it happen. Take this scene from Let The Right One In for example, little Oskar is a 12-year-old-boy who is constantly bullied at school. He befriends a mysterious child, Eli, who turns out to be a vampire. The moral of the story is...don't fuck with a vampire's best friend.

Independence Day - Checkmate


The scene that relaunched the disaster movie genre. Independence Day was at the forefront of the large-scale disaster film resurgence of the 90s. The film used miniatures and in-camera special effects more often than CGI to create a scene that would've even made the late great Irwin Allen proud.
