Good news! That piece of garbage Transformers: Age of Extinction isn't the highest grossing movie of the year anymore:

I'm a bit surprised it was able to beat LEGO Movie, considering the universal appeal and kid friendliness.

Chris Pratt is the lead in two of the biggest films of the year. He's the anti-Taylor Kitsch.

And I'm surprised that The LEGO Movie was a such a huge success.

But it was able to remind me how awesome Legos are.

And I'm reminded of the one Lego set I always wanted but my parents wouldn't buy for me...

I'm glad I don't drink, otherwise I'd be tempted to break out the credit card and relive my youth.

I got that kit for Christmas in either 1986 or 87, and every now and then I've been tempted to buy it again. It's not that it was an extraordinary kit, it's just hopelessly clinging to the past.

It's a collector's item now, though. Back in the day it was only about $50. I wish they'd re-release it. Heck, I wish they'd bring back the Pirates line as a whole. And do a Greco-Roman line.

I hope they don't just burn him off in one movie then.
