Prophecy of Doom

Okay, this has nothing to do with religious issues (well, at least not Catholic religious issues), but I just read that John Tuturo will be returning for the live action Transformers 2. This does not bode well, as his character ruined the first movie experience. He's actually a really good actor, so my complaint is not about the man...the complaint is that Michael Bay apparently thought it was a good idea to let John Tuturo play his secret agent character in homage to Don Knotts, completely dissolving the suspension of disbelief that the special effects artists had made so easy on the giant killer robots. It's a bad thing when you believe more in the computer-generated characters than the ones played by live actors.
Plus, I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, the only military/government response to aliens would be to capture them for research or to fear them as potential security. Tim Burton's Mars Attacks
did a better job of showing a spectrum of modern responses...even if the more "enlightened" responses to the aliens proved completely misplaced once they started disintegrating people.
