Did I write a movie review that really pissed you off? If so, and you want your revenge, tomorrow morning might be a good time to exact it. Paramount and AMC are celebrating the release of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and the new IMAX screen in Kansas City for a pre-opening event called “Transformers Tuesday!” I’m not sure how that relates to me being in a dunk tank, but that’s where I’ll be tomorrow morning at Independence Commons 20 (19200 E 39th St. Independence, MO) between 7 - 9:30am.

Come by before you go to work and get revenge on me for hating the new “Wolverine” and “Terminator” movies! I’ve been stopped in public and taken to task for reviews before, but never like this. Another film critic who you will be able to dunk is fellow KC Film Critic’s Circle member Russ Simmons of Fox 4’s Screening Room. Who could pass up this chance? Here’s a press release that has some more details about the other stuff happening too, including “Transfromers” cars and robots, etc…

• WHO: Paramount Pictures is partnering up with AMC Independence Commons 20 to celebrate the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the opening of the new IMAX screen in Kansas City for a pre-opening event dubbed as “Transformers Tuesday!”
  

• WHAT: Mix 93.3 will be on site at AMC Independence Commons on “Transformers Tuesday” and Kansas City residents are encouraged to come out to win prizes by dunking local personalities in a dunk tank, and will even have a chance to destroy a sheetrock Decepticon from Smash-n-Shatter! Independence students from First Bots of Independence (the “FBI”) will also be present to show off their award-winning robotic designs, and Cable Dahmer Chevrolet will be on-site to display “Transformers” cars like the ones featured in the film. To officially celebrate the opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the new IMAX screen at AMC Independence Commons 20, a proclamation will be read recognizing “Transformers Tuesday” and AMC/IMAX Day on behalf of Mayor Reimal.
