* It’s come at last, at last it’s come, the day I knew would come at last has come at last: Topless Robot’s Rob Bricken reviews Transformers 2, first in traditional prose fashion and again in handy Frequently Asked Questions form. Childhood-raping accusations are kept to an absolute minimum (logic-raping accusations, not so much), plot holes that make Terminator Salvation sound like Chinatown by comparison are delineated in loving detail, and the comment threads offer all the lulz you’d expect, from labeling the reviews “hate-filled” “propaganda” to calling people who found Michael Bay’s racist-caricature robots racist racist themselves to anonymously suggesting everyone go out and get laid instead of complaining. It’s magnificent.
* Ta-Nehisi Coates talks about Michael Jackson, separating art from artists, and Jeffrey Dahmer.
* Renee French’s art is unnerving.
* Josh Simmons’s art is unnerving.
