Baysplosions

^___^ I really liked the rooster in 'The Fox and the Hare'. He was the coolest, don't you agree!?

 

So, I want to start off with a profound statement by the illustrious Michael Bay (If you can't understand my sarcasm...)

In response to Hugo Weaving commenting that his voice role of Megatron in the live action incarnation was 'meaningless', Michael had the gall to say:

"With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn’t ‘artistic enough” or “fulfilling enough”?"

To be honest, I totally cared. I tipped my hat to Mr. Weaving for acknowledging the artistic value and the characterization of the Transformers movies to be 'meaningless'. At least someone in the cog of that wrecked machine had the wisdom to ascertain it. Unlike Michael himself, who also recently stated that he decided to direct Transformers 4 (yes...there is going to be a fourth one. Let the booing commence) because  "someone could come in here and screw it up".

First Transformers...next up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...does his evil know no end!?

 

I could go on a really big Transformers fangirl-esque rant (I won't deny it, Transformers is something I'm a huge fan of. Not the live action movies, but the other, much better incarnations) on how Michael Bay messed up so-an-so character (aka all of them), made crazy plots, only cared about hot babes and explosions, etc, but that's not the point I was trying to get at.

Michael Bay, I think, is a sad picture of where Hollywood may soon end up. I mean, his movies are wildly popular, Dark of the Moon (by far the worst in the series) being the fifth highest grossing movie in history, and the other two in the series both ending up in the top 50, and nothing seems to stop him from doing more bad films. What's worse is that he is, at least how I see it, openly mocking things I believe in, such as the artistic value in a film. I like to see hints of beauty and true pain in movies.

With Michael Bay all I get are explosions.

This post didn't go where I originally intended, and for that I'm sorry ^__^; Hopefully I won't let the fangirl in me post like this too often..
