M. Bayson Says TRANSFORMERS 3...

Published at:  Jan 15, 2010 12:33:22 PM CST


Merrick here...


Michael Bay spoke to the L.A Times about sound in movies - their conversation veered precariously towards the third TRANSFORMERS film. While no concept or plot were revealed (I know, I know, don't say it), this may be Michael's first public characterization of the project.

So can we expect more thunderous sound in the third installment? Although the number of robots increased significantly from the first film for the second, the third film -- which will hit theaters in summer 2011, won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, a tight-lipped Bay said after the Q+A.

“There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”


...says Mr. Bay in THIS L.A. Times piece.

I hope fewer robots and explosions means more time for horny chihuahuas!

    Michael Bay may be one movie away...

    by smackfu

    From his ego actually confronting the possibility that he is a shitty filmmaker. You see he's trying to figure out why no one liked Transformers 2. So he's latched onto the notion that it was just because there was too much going on, too much awesomeness that overwhelmed the audience to the point where they became desensitized to the awesome. That must be it. So he's toning it down, confident that once we see less giant robot explosions and shattering buildings, we'll have time to catch our breath and really appreciate the dog humpings, the steppinfetchits, and the CIA men who wear ladies underwear. Once this 'toned down' Transformers 3 crashes and burns, perhaps he'll have no choice but to accept the only remaining explanation...that he's making shitty movies.

    by themandrakeroot

    I'm sure it will suck just as hard as the first two. On a side note though, I actually randomly saw the sequel recently after making a conscious effort to avoid it for months. I thought the first one was just awful, and from what I read this was the same, only 100x worse, but honestly I thought it was actually more entertaining then the first. The humor was obviously more pathetic thanks to the addition of some good old racial stereotyping, but at least this time I could actually follow a few action scenes, which had a couple cool moments of robots getting torn apart. I mean regardless the movie was still shit, but I actually didn't find it worse then the first one.

    I hate it when people say "take the money put into that stupid money and give it to charity." Its not his money to spend, its money that is invested by a company in order to make more money. Movie studios are not charity foundations so why would they do something that would drive down their stock? Just say what you're really thinking, "Michael Bay sucks and this movie is going to be shit." You'll get very little dispute.

    Mainly because he's pretty expensive. He commands over ten million a picture at the moment. They can get Zac Efron much less right now and studios are obsessed with cutting down on overhead when it comes to the talent if they can help it. That may not always be the rule, Taylor Lautner got an offer for seven milion for some reason, but they're trying to stick to it.

    The action scenes were okay in the first one. I mean, you could actually see well enough to tell what was going on, as in, which robot is which. To me, the fight scenes in #2 just looked like a bunch of brightly-colored car parts rolling down a hill. You couldn't tell where one robot ended and the other began. It was a jumbled mess.
    But that's not why #2 sucked so hard. "Humor" derived from farting robots, humping dogs, annoying moms eating pot brownies, swinging robot "balls", and lets not forget the illiterate walking stereotypes with gold buck teeth and big ears? *shudders* Oh, well, I'm sure there are some 7-year-old boys out there who found it funny...

    Megans taught thighs were soaked with her own shame...

    by conspiracy

    her black, mascera filled tears fell like rain onto her exposed skin...she felt so dirty; it wasn't just the sex, and the promise of more humilation that being Bays bitch all but guaranteed, no this was the dark dirty shame of someone who sold not only her body, but her very soul chasing fame. Riding along with Bay as he whipped his Ferrari up the hills to Speilbergs house, Megan finally understood there was no return, no deviation to the path she had choosen; either a life of continued servitude to powerful men or, if she could muster the courage, follow the footsteps of her idol Marylin and escape this world all together while some shred of dignity remained.Bay looked over...still sweating rivers as the Meth still surged through his body, and the rapture of forcing Megan to orally service him at the last stoplight as a car full of tourists, some under 12 just as he liked them, watched in confusion and horror. "Save some for the Berg baby..., if you think I'm a bastard just you wait till the BOSSES get hold of you...; Fuck I'm getting hard just imagining the fun we are gonna have at Steves house tonight!" Megan raised her head slightly...looking into her directors eyes...she bit her lip, trying to quell the fear and sorrow she felt for herself, memories of seeing Shia only an hour ago being raped by this beast filled her head... "I'm weak...and bought...a whore for fame" the thoughts raced through her mind..."what will they do to me...anything...anything for fame...you can take it Megan...Pride only gets in the way..." She almost had convinced herself...the tears we stopping just as Bay pulled up to a large iron gate off of Clearwater Canyon. "I brought my favorite TOY" Bay spoke to the intercom...the gate swung open...Megans heart pounded in her chest...and the tears again fell like rain.

    Bay could make a very good movie if he collabarated with an other director(and not like the mute steven spielberg) bay should only do the action because if he gets rid of the shaky-cam and zooming in constantly he is the best action-director there is, but he needs to be controlled and not by the studios.

    Was Transformers 2 That Bad?

    I actually thought the first one was kinda-fun, but forgettable, and I have no desire to see it again. TF2 just looked kinda boring and sounded awful.

    It did make a lot of money, no doubt. I'm one of the people who contributed to the money it made, but I still hated the movie more than any other I've ever seen. Making lots of money =/= everyone outside of AICN loved it. A 20% tomatometer pretty much says it all. (By the way, if you get bored sometime, read the reviews... much more entertaining than the movie.)

    by sukmyboomstik

    I actually liked the first one. It was big, stupid fun with robots and explosions- just like the cartoon was. It wasn't the next evolution of cinema but it was a decent enough throw-away movie. The second one, however, was like being strangled to death with my own intestines. That movie could have been cut down to about 10 minutes- the fight scene in the forest and random shots of Megan Fox's ass (Regardless of her lack of talent, I'd still go to town on that thing). I'd see a third one if I was bored and the reviews were halfway decent but otherwise I'd Redbox it when it came out on DVD.

Kate popped her second Valium...adjusted her nipple shields and went to answer the door.....Continued after lunch....

    TF2 Hate--the sequel?

    by cylon_conspiracy

    People really worried about this upcoming film are idiots. You've seen two transformers films. You liked the first one, maybe. Then you heard how fucking awful the second one was, and you STILL went to see it. Which is as stupid as it gets. If you KNOW it's going to suck, and you see it anyway, and then complain--you are an idiot.

    The only appropriate response to news of TF3 is "Well, I didn't care for the last one. I'm not going to bother with another."

    Not bitching about how you can't take anymore, and Michael Bay should be shot in the head. That just makes you look like a douche.

    I didn't see "Daddy Daycare." I just didn't bother. I don't HATE Eddie Murphy, I just know that childrens movies + Eddy Murphy, suck (to me--no offense to his fans). I didn't drive to the theater, pay for my ticket, then leave Daddy Daycare screaming "Oh my god! That was so fucking bad!", and I didn't rent the movie and say "Oh my god! What an insult to my intelligence!"

    See, what I did was I didn't see it, in any format. I already KNOW what it's going to be. Saves so much time and stress.

    I know for sure, if I came to this site and said "Oh my god! Daddy Daycare! Can you believe that shit? What the Fuck was that?" You guys would say "Dude! WTF did you think was gonna happen?"

    And that's what I think of you TF2 haters. You saw Daddy Daycare even though you knew you wouldn't like it.

    If you see Transformers 3, and are still of that mindset, you are officially retarded.

    Me? I'll probably go. I liked both Transformers films, so I figure I'll like this one too.

    "Then you heard how fucking awful the second one was, and you STILL went to see it."
    You're making quite the assumption here. Before I saw the movie, all I'd heard is that the plot was weak and there were a couple of robots that people thought seemed racist. Well, of COURSE the plot was weak, and I figured the racist robots thing was just people getting their panties in a bundle over nothing, like they always do. I didn't think is was going to win awards or anything, but I figured I would be relatively entertained... you know, like the first movie. What I got was over two hours of head-shattering noise, annoying cliches, juvenile attempts at humor... oh, and it turned out that the "racist robots" comments were more than justified.
    Yeah, you see the trailer for Daddy Daycare and you know what to expect. You see the trailer for TF2 and you think "hey, I liked TF1, so I'll probably like this, too." Your analogy is way off.

    by kaiser soze

    They predicted this. When they first predicted the coming 2012 apocalypse, they foretold of three evils, so great, that combined they would convince the Gods that humanity wasn't worth saving and would subsequently bring about the end of the world (I believe their exact wording was, "Dogs and cats, living together. MASS HYSTERIA!"). It was said that these three evils would be brought forth by a demon in human form, a demon so vile that you would know it was he when all those exposed to him would lose their intelligence, that they would become simply lambs led to the slaughter. This demon would release three soulless masterworks, and, upon arrival of the third and final masterwork in July of 2011, unlock a process that would culminate 18 months later on December 21, 2012 in the end of life as we know it. Don't you get it, people. Michael Bay is the one they were talking about, and if we want to survive to see 2013, we need to kill him before he can make that third soulless masterwork. Somebody take that motherfucker out!

    I'm not a Keanu fan (at all!), I AM a Hellblazer fan and I still quite enjoyed that movie. It's not perfect and it certainly doesn't approach the greatness of the comic, but it's a fun enough watch. If they do it again, however, I hope that they at least get somebody who's willing to go blonde. John Constantine does NOT have black hair. Jus' sayin'.

    "Kate...babydoll...nice to see you again" said Bay...

    by conspiracy

    as he slithered through the door; Megan followed a few steps behind...rivlets of mascara still ran down her blushed cheeks, stains of black on her chest and thighs. "Ah...so this is the 'toy' he mentioned" mused Kate, the heavy dose of valium now flowing through her, "At least this one is legal, and from what I've overheard...willing"."Hey..sweetie, you're even prettier than on TV...my name is Kate Capshaw, don't believe all those stories you've heard from THIS asshole...it'll be just fine." Kate leaned close to Megan, as throbbing, familiar music began to drift into the entry way from a dark passage leading down to the right, and give her a soft kiss on her cheek close to her ear. Kates soft feminine lips felt good to Megan...reassuring; Megan felt Kate take her hand and pull her closer. "Here sugar...take this...it'll help later, trust me" Kate cooed as she secretly passed Megan the same high dose she herself had grown to favor..." you might even like it on this shit..." Kate continued as she pulled away. Megan quickly downed the dose...at this point being comatose seemed like a good idea. "Th...thanks Kate" sniffed Megan,...the heavy iron door down the passage slammed opened filling the room with insane music as Steven Spielberg sprinted up the stairs, drenched in sweat, scratch marks across his chest and wearing the same bondage gear favored by Bay. Megan knew the tune that filled her ears...it was the Cantina music from Star Wars...and it was blaring from the underground room she suspected she'd be introduced to soon enough. "God Damn it Mikey....get that nasty cunt down here...George took a double dose of Viagra and the shit is hitting hard! Kate....make some sandwiches will ya!" And with that..Steve ran back into the darkend room. Kate knew this was going to be a rough year...the phone calls from George, Harrison, and now Bay and this poor creature showing up....something was going on, something more perverse than usual...she would try to keep herself out of it...but deep down, she knew she would fail; 20 years ago she had been 'Megan', and she knew in reality she still was. "Poor little bitch..." Kate sighed as she walked to the kitchen..."At least she won't be their first of the night...if she's lucky they'll pass out before they can get around to pulling out the Twi'lek outfit for her...thats always the roughest part".

    FINALLY BAY GETS SOME SENSE IN HIS HEAD

    by jolaz

    Ever since the first movie came out, I've been waiting for the day when Michael Bay comes to his senses and finally brings us a Transformers movie the way it's MEANT to be. Hardly any robots, for one. I mean...there were far too many in those first two. Also, way more footage of dogs fucking each other. Also, I can't get enough of that Witwicky family. Those parents, that Shia...god, the amount of finesse they bring to the roles they're given. I could deal with less Megan Fox and her slack-jawed dick suckin' lips and her greasy looking skin. But hey, if we're focusing less on the robots, then that's all I need. Because Transformers in a Transformers movie just...doesn't make sense.

    Transformers 2 Was SHIT but not quite Wolverine Origins Shit

    by spacezilla

    They are both horrible horrible movies. Its just as a fan of Wolverine's I was way more offended by how shitty Wolverine Origins was. Goddamn that is the shittiest movie this year by far. It is so shitty it somehow made Terminator 4 seem not that shitty at first. Don't get me wrong T4 is really shitty. Its just at the time, it didn't seem as shitty as it does now and it had Wolverine Origins to thank for that.
    Those are the 3 worst movies this year right there. Transformer 2, Wolverine Origins, and T4. But Wolverine Origins is among the most vomit inducing movies I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of shitty movies.

    Aha, you see, in my scenario Bay is asking himself why no one 'liked' his movie, not why it didn't make any money. He knows that his giant spectacle event movies will always make money, this time though he's just wondering why no one 'liked' this one. The fact that it made lots of money is no reflection whatsoever on whether or not it was good. Because the money changes hands *before* the viewing takes place. I paid my $10 to see Transformers 2, but that certainly doesn't mean I liked it. It was universally panned, I have personally never witnessed a single person saying they enjoyed it, if you could even find video footage of kids saying it was awesome, I'd be surprised.

    Hate can also work against your desires to kill movies

    by cylon_conspiracy

    I liked Transformers 1. When TF2 came out, I figured I'd wait. I was more interested in Star Trek, figured I'd rent TF2 eventually.

    But then.... well, I started reading the comments on sites such as this. "Worst movie ever made". "Most racially offensive film since 'Birth of a Nation'". "Nothing but Megan Fox looking slutty." "Filthy jokes, very inappropriate for the Transformers Franchise".

    Then it got even WORSE.. and I realized, if I did not go and see this film I would be missing out on one of the most significant genre events of all time. Suddenly, I was enthusiastic as hell to see the film. New desires were born inside me. And as I left that theater I knew I had experienced something pretty damn well... significant. I may have thanked Jesus, can't remember. All I can say is, it rocked my world.

    For these movie to make so much money people had to see to them multiple times due to how great they are. If TF2 was in IMAX 3D it would have made 2 billion dollars. Hollywood knows that good movies don't make a lot money: Titanic Avatar Deadman's Chest TF2 Ice Age 3 Spiderman 3 Shrek 2&3 Harry Potter Star Wars Prequels This is all part of Bey's "AWESOME" misinformation campaign.

    by nuking the fridge

    that Wolverine was worse than Transformers 2. That is an argument in that both movies are adaptations based on comics/cartoons that are beloved by fans and geeks for over twenty years. And both movies ended up being insults to the original source material and ended up being bad. But Transformers 2 is by far one of the most worthless pieces of shit that I have seen in a long time, in my opinion is far worse than Wolverine. Transformers 2 was pure dogshit. For me, when you start trying to figure out what were the best parts of a movie, and the only thing you can think of is the fucking "sound", that for me is an indicator that something is wrong. Transformers 2 is a piece of shit, bottom line, without question. It is too bad, it could have been a fantastic movie, and I honestly think it would have made even more $$$ if it was truthful and perhaps more coherent visually and narrative-wise to the source material.

    Fuck Michael Bay. And it is obvious Spielberg doesn't give a damn about story, but the $$$.

    Here we go again with another TF bash. This site just fuels the fire of TF mania. I saw the first TF and liked it...everyone here talked shit, and I mean SHIT. At the same time, everyone here was praising 300...which in my opinion was nothing but toned down (PG-13) gay porn. Go figure, AICN Geeks love muscular men in loin cloths. But I digress...I saw the second TF movie, and I still liked it...and once again everyone here bitched and screamed "FUCK MICHAEL BAY". I know TF2 wasn't perfect, but it was still okay. The forest scene was awesome, the rest of the movie was too long and full of more annoying banter than a Tarintino movie, but it was still good. What annoyed me the most was all of you skinny weak pasty little white boys screaming that it was racist. My Black wife thought the black bots were funny...but what does she know huh. I guess a fat bean-bag red headed queer like Harry knows whats best for African Americans. If you want to call out racism in Hollywood, try watching anything on the Disney channel or BET. This whole TF hate thing has turned into an obsession with you fags. That's all you talk about...ON EVERY FUCKING THREAD! Look, Michael Bay is making so much money off these movies he could by your all of your families and have them work on his Hollywood Plantation. Get over it, lots of people like them and will pay to see them. These people aren't retards or scrawny nerds. The majority of them are pretty smart and can most likey beat the shit out of every one of you cellar dwellers. So in closing, I can't wait for TF3 and ya'll can go fuck yourselves/

    PS I liked AVATAR too, but it was about as original as Dancing with Wolves, Pocahontas, The last Samurai, etc... I'm sure queers won't scream racism there, not when it's a Cameron film. Another movie about a white man saving some poor monkey people. I hope you all die...tonight

So even after the moronic first movie, I was willing to give Bay, who is someone I think has genuine talent, another chance. As for why I didn't leave the theater when I realized he didn't deserve that second chance, well, I don't walk out on movies, no matter how shitty. I don't know why. I even sat through Exorcist 2.

I want to see Black Hawk Down, only we're fighting giant fucking robots instead of Somalians. Something like that. Brutal, no dopey humor, and played straight and realistic in every way, except for the one tweak of adding robots.

    But this is the last time! I'm not bitching about anything. I'm on a movie message board, so I'm talking about movies. I didn't care for this one, but it's a genre I normally enjoy, so I was throwing my two cents out there. You're the one who started throwing around "fag" and "pussy" like a whiny little high schooler aching for attention. And no, you won't see me spouting the tired "Fuck Michael Bay," as I'm not interested in cutesy little bitch quips, or lame attempts at humor. I like movies, so I want to talk about them. No more, no less.

    End of line.

    You've never heard of renting a movie? Pay per view? Illegal downloading, even? Why do you all assume that every person who hates TF2 went to the theater to see it, or even bought it? There are other ways to check out movies. I didn't even see Transformers until it was on cable, because that's how much I dislike Shia LaDork. I saw TF2 when my roommate got it from NetFlix. So please, stop assuming that we're all bitching about a movie that we paid to see in the theater.

    by cylon_conspiracy

    At least people that come to sites like AICN. The general public, maybe. But not people who for their hobby read script reviews for films that haven't even been greenlit yet, and test reviews for films that are 6 months away from being released.

    By the time something like Transformers 2 hits theaters, 90% of the people here have already read at least 5 advance reviews from major print and online publications.

    Which is why I can't understand how anyone here at AICN could have seen TF2 and not known what they were in for. Completely perplexing to me.

    Normally I'd actually agree with you there. When there's a new George Romero movie coming up, I've eaten up every bit of info there is by opening day. I'm fucking rabid for 70's horror, and while the man's current output is worlds away from his 70's work, he's earned my support for life on the strength of Martin alone. So I always know what I'm in for there.

    But with Transformers... I never watched the show, I never read scripts before seeing movies, and I avoid most advanced reviews. Did I have an idea it might blow? Sure, especially after my distaste toward the first one. But that teaser they'd released looked like a serious, no nonsense shit blowing up movie. Michael Bay's made some good shit before. So I gave it a chance.

    Well, that and Hurt Locker hadn't made it to my town yet and we'd already seen Up, Star Trek and Hangover.

    Good point, sir. That's exactly how I felt about Bad Boys 2. I truly felt like that film was Michael Bay flipping off the general public right in their faces. To me it seems like a very dark, intentionally prickly movie.

    But when TF2 opened with a robot striking a pose and saying, "Damn I'm good..." it just completely turned me off. But I'm honestly open to giving the flick another chance if you think there's something there I missed.

    On the one hand, movie fans want to make themselves sound like the shit, and make other people think they are retards. And a good way to do that is to say "TF2 is for retards! Anyone who likes it has absolutely no taste!"

    Yet... to come to that opinion, these haters have had to SEE THE FILM THEMSELVES!

    They bitch about how if we keep supporting this "crap" that's all Hollywood will give us. Yet, you've seen the movie, even when you KNEW it would suck! Maybe you bought a ticket. Maybe you rented a DVD... no matter how you did it, you supported a movie you knew you would hate, just to have the elitist thrill at the end of the day of saying "I am better than you."

    If you were really better you wouldn't have watched a fucking Michael Bay movie about robots. Especially a sequel. Maybe some people don't know what's going on.. but not the majority of nerds here at AICN.

    And you people are assuming an awful lot. First, no, most of us (I would guess) did NOT read this entire talkback (or any other Michael Bay talkback) because we know what it (they) says. Second, my point was about people getting all in a bunch and pointing fingers if you say you hate the Tranformers movies, because they assume that we contributed to their massive box office while doing so. So again, you're wrong. I paid exactly ZERO dollars to see both of them. Also, I will voice my complaints about them until I DIE, regardless. They're crap. And I have a right to say that any way I choose. Further assumption, that every person who posts here spends all their free time going from site to site trolling. This is, 100% seriously - you could do a polygraph and I would pass, the ONLY movie site I've ever gone to. I spend most of my internet time on several REAL news sites, the official NBA site, Suicide Girls and about 75 music sites. If I run into movie news somewhere else, fine. But I don't seek it out. AICN is the ONLY place I read this kind of news and the ONLY place I comment about it (which is becoming more and more painful lately).

    And I don't think it was that bad. I think the story was weak, the action was VERY hard to follow, the robots made a thousand ridiculous noises and had a thousand moving parts (just like the first movie) during the transformations and there were clearly racial stereotypes at play, if not outright racism. But I still wouldn't call it "the worst film ever". However, take into account how much money it DID make and you can see why the people who dislike it would be loudly incredulous.

But I'm so sick of seeing stories like "The popularity of TF2 is not a good indication of the intelligence of today's movie audience, however bright spots like Moon and D9..." shit just pisses me off. It's the elitist attitude that TF2=loser.

    I liked D9 too. I like a wide variety of films. For some reason the elitist vibe just pisses me off, and I don't think it's ever been any worse than since TF2 came out.

    "...you wouldn't have watched a fucking Michael Bay movie about robots. Especially a sequel."

    But I don't think I'm better. I actually like big dumb action movies. I like Michael Bay, and I like robots, and I love catching a flick in the middle of summer, with the big crowds that clap and cheer for amazing SFX.

    And I too hate it when people say we shouldn't keep going to these movies or it's all Hollywood will make. Because Hollywood will always make these movies, no matter what. They're too successful not to, and I understand that. I just wish they could leave out the childish humor and robot nutsacks, that's all.

    This is going to make me sound like a sheep, but I really think the guys over at Pixar have perfected the art of the all-ages event film. They don't feel they have to compromise their artistic integrity just to appeal to everyone. No, they appeal to everyone by simply making great movies. I'd love for Transformers 3 to be made with that work ethic.

    this is what I mean when I say subversive. I already knew to expect that scene and before I went I was thinking "shit, that's really going to ruin the movie for me. That sounds really gay." But when I saw it I was like "I cannot believe they actually did that. That is so fucked up that it is awesome."

    All the humor I took on that level. I thought the jokes were funny because they made me so uncomfortable.

    It reminds me of what's going on with Conan right now.. he's about to get fired and he's just making the most fucked up, inappropriate comments at NBC's expense that you have to appreciate it just for its boldness. That's exactly the way I see Transformers 2.

    It's pushing buttons just because it can, and Bay actually got a studio to finance it. I haven't seen Bad Boys but I assume the same sensibility was at play there. If it was, I'll check those films out.

    by jaka

    We ALL have different tastes. Sometimes our tastes will cross over into other people likings, sometimes they'll travel a narrow path. Regardless, so long as we're all into movies, and the discussing of movies with an open mind, without hate, none of us are elitists. But I'll step off the soap box about that. (steps off soap box)Cylon, OK, I can understand that frustration. In an Avatar thread recently somebody thought they were high and mighty enough to label everyone who enjoyed Avatar "simple". If you like Avatar you must be a simpleton. I was, to say they least, more than a little annoyed by that comment. So much so that I think I'll just stay away from Avatar threads for a while. Anyway, I get where you're coming from with the wide generalizing comments. They're never true; ever! However, I just don't believe that ANY of this is justification for us (AICN reading and talkbackers) as a group to devolve into shit throwing trolls. I believe we're better than that. There's a real power to learn and share information here, as well as shape our own geek culture. I just wish people could see it more clearly through the thick haze of shit being tossed about.

I really do think Bay's a sharper cookie than people give him credit for.

    Far be it from me to dispute your genius. I certainly have no evidence to the contrary.For me it's really simple: I like movies. So, if I like a movie, I like it. A VAST majority of the time it doesn't matter who made it or who is in it, I'll watch it. Even if it's people whom I've never enjoyed in any previous film (in whatever part they played in making it). However, I will go out of my way in some cases to make certain that I put as little cash in their hands while doing so. In very, VERY rare instances I will simply avoid a movie altogether. I dislike Shia LaDork to levels that my vocabulary can barely grasp when trying to explain (I've run out of adjectives, superlatives and analogies) and I had ZERO desire to see him in an Indian Jones movie, so I've never watched Crystal Skull. Strangely, I don't feel like my life is lacking in any way because of this decision. Did Megan Fox really do that? I'm less astounded that a rich beyond our comprehension producer would do that than I am that SHE would do that. Good luck with the rest of the career there, babe. lol

    Reason Why Geeks don't like Michael Bay

    by tempurasan

    Because Michael Bay makes movies about Beta males becoming Alpha males. Geeks like movies where the Beta males gets super powers and makes everyone realize how special and quirky they really are, and in the end the heroes get the "attainable" girls. In a Michael Bay flick, Beta males are completely useless and must shred their geeky skins and step into the big leagues. Bay has no patience for a touchy feely motherfucker who just wants people to love him. Every Michael Bay film has had a geeky motherfucker goes through a transformation and becomes a fucking alpha male by the end of the film. What's more, these alpha males get to fuck the porn star looking girlfriends. THE END.

Michael Bay as a child is the one kid that stuck his fucking GI JOES with explosives and blow them up, and actually play and BREAK his fucking toys (not that those action figures are terrible hard to break). So now as grown up, all these geeks revere their childhoods and put cheesy little shows on a pedestal as something that is untouchable, while Michael Bay goes out there and just blows shit up and actually "Play". I don't have a single fucking toy left from my childhood. I either fucking broke them a long time ago or simply have thrown them away when I realized they are pussy kryptonite.

    Also, Avatar is racist as Shit

    by tempurasan

    Cameron insists on presenting these fucking natives as "noble" and refuse to present them in any kinda reality. It's almost as if he's fucking embarrassed of the very people he's creating a metaphor for. Instead of actually doing some fucking research and presenting them in a realistic light (the feel that he was going for), he just makes up this perfect fucking race that makes no anthropological sense. I've never seen an aborigine this fucking hygenic. Every mother fucker I've seen on those nature shows all have sagging tits and balls, have half the wildlife shoved through their noses, and always smoking some fucking plants sitting in mud. The trick is to actually discover why they are that way, and provide a smart reason why they need to stay the way they are. (There is none btw, except for some bullshit the white man weaved out of their fucking guilt and superiority)

    by the brains

    After seeing it at the cinema, I watched TF2 again at home on DVD and found the last half-hour or so extremely exhausting to watch- the desert fight scenes with a lot going on at once, the mass explosions, the running, the yelling etc. It's just everything but the kitchen sink thrown in (at a point where you really start missing that kitchen sink.)

    1.4 bil? I put 60 dollars to that. Saw the film twice with the old lady. The first time in 3D and walked out because my head started to hurt around the hour and a half mark. Cameron was literally trying to fuck my eyeballs out of their socket with that 3D shit. So I came back to see it again in regular 2D, and paid extra for one of those adult theatres seats where you get to have alcohol. Verdict: Movie was pretty fun. It's good despite taking no chances with its story and characters.

    I only bring up the racist thing because people seem to point out Transformers 2's so called racism so much. So by the money logic, Transformers 2 is considerably less racist than District 9? Did I do that right?

So..though drenched in sex appeal no dudes went to see Megan in JB, but an ARMY of girls went to see Twilight.If Bay can make a Movie full of Pissing, farting robots, who team up with sparkly,soft, sexually driven vampires who purse a newly chaste Megan Fox....he'll beat Camerons ass.

    TF Hate + AICN = Nerd Butt Sex

    by ih8harry

    Here we go again with another TF bash. This site just fuels the fire of TF mania. I saw the first TF and liked it...everyone here talked shit, and I mean SHIT. At the same time, everyone here was praising 300...which in my opinion was nothing but toned down (PG-13) gay porn. Go figure, AICN Geeks love muscular men in loin cloths. But I digress...I saw the second TF movie, and I still liked it...and once again everyone here bitched and screamed "FUCK MICHAEL BAY". I know TF2 wasn't perfect, but it was still okay. The forest scene was awesome, the rest of the movie was too long and full of more annoying banter than a Tarintino movie, but it was still good. What annoyed me the most was all of you skinny weak pasty little white boys screaming that it was racist. My Black wife thought the black bots were funny...but what does she know huh. I guess a fat bean-bag red headed queer like Harry knows whats best for African Americans. If you want to call out racism in Hollywood, try watching anything on the Disney channel or BET. This whole TF hate thing has turned into an obsession with you fags. That's all you talk about...ON EVERY FUCKING THREAD! Look, Michael Bay is making so much money off these movies he could by your all of your families and have them work on his Hollywood Plantation. Get over it, lots of people like them and will pay to see them. These people aren't retards or scrawny nerds. The majority of them are pretty smart and can most likey beat the shit out of every one of you cellar dwellers. So in closing, I can't wait for TF3 and ya'll can go fuck yourselves/ PS I liked AVATAR too, but it was about as original as Dancing with Wolves, Pocahontas, The last Samurai, etc... I'm sure queers won't scream racism there, not when it's a Cameron film. Another movie about a white man saving some poor monkey people. I hope you all die...tonight

    by bixbysnyder

    because...

    Guess what: They were "RobotsInDisguiseTM"

    Flames on Optimus=bad story decision to sell NEW toys. Easy as that.

    EVERYTHING that people bitch about, from Goblin Power Ranger, to nipples on batsuits, means money in the bank for the people that had the creative property re-designed for their big screen exploitations.

    Forget about official studio explanations such as: "This makes the actor EMOTE better."

    Or: "That would look SILLY" or my favourite: "It would not make sense."

    What "sense" does it make for an alien mechanical lifeform to drive around painted with flames?

    Would that not..Draw attention to themselves? "Hey, look at me, Im OPTIMUS PRIME a RobotInDisguiseTM check out my bitchin' flames!".

    Yeah, the cartoon and the marvel comic were designed to sell toys too.

    That does not change the fact that the original toy commercial had a better storyline.

    Because it wery well fucking did.

    And for the record, i actually LIKE some of Bay's previous work. And i agree on that Ferrari story:

    -One hundred percent fucking professional-.

    After all, he had to make sure she looked HOT while washing a car wearing a bikini.

    And he does seem to have a sense of humour about all this. His quotes are priceless.

    I just think it was a HUGELY missed opportunity.

    Had they went with the original storyline and designs, they would have made EVEN MORE money. Meh, maybe not though, im no royalty expert. Maybe they had to have paid to much money to the original writers/designers. Fuck do i know?

    Plus it's time most of you anti-Bay people got what's coming to you, seriously. Not liking a movie because it's just not your thing is perfectly fine. But there has been so many personal insults at Bay's expense that I enjoy seeing the insults. Blame the fan community in general that would rather destroy someone's reputation than admit they can be entertained by a popcorn movie.

    The guy above who said Bay-Haters are betas and that Bay films are about betas becoming alphas is spot-on. There's something in the testosterone of TF2 that makes SOME guys here (not all) get in touch with their "What she needs is a friend right now, and I'm not going to disrespect her by making a move" mentality.

    And forget Bay for a second... don't get me started on the anti-Megan Fox shit. SOME guys here (not all) are so threatened by her sexuality that they've turned her into some freakish uber-slut that eats babies for breakfast, when she's just a normal, good looking chick who is getting her career started, and has done absolutely nothing in her personal life that is tabloid-fodder, other than making a lot of funny smart ass remarks to reporters.

    So you're not only dissing the masculinity of Michael Bay, but the femininity of Megan Fox.

    That felt good.

    Let's see Shia screaming Bumblebee and the yellow bastard kicking every things ass so what's the point. Optimus Prime getting killed yet again because they love making kids cry and who can't get behind the tears of the young? Two little crass gangsta stereotypes and for a twist they'll thrown in a gangsta chick robot do the whole neck snap with attitude. No dinobots, No Unicron, and he'll fuck them up royal so don't scream too much for them. Two seconds of Megatron and Starscream gold and just filler time using Megan Fox and Shia's tired story arc. No fucking money out of my wallet unless Ebert the talkbacks all agree Bay pulled it out of his ass and actually gave up a great movie.

    They Are Going To The Robots' Home World

    by media messiah

    How do I know this? Bay and Spielberg want to make this movie more epic, in order to try and stay at pace with James Cameron's Avatar, in terms of being viewed as being groundbreaking...and of course, to compete with the visuals found in the landscape of Pandora. Cameron has out-classed everyone in Hollywood, as well as out epic-ed all would-be epic filmmakers, like Bay and Spielberg, for instance--so yes, the next Transformer's film will take place on the Transformers' home world; the very reason why Bay mentioned these crucial words: "This time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”

    Tempurasan: You Are A Racist Lowlife

    by media messiah

    James Cameron used Avatar to point-out this fact: Truly intelligent people live in balance and peace with nature. Aboriginal people do not build nuclear bombs, or threaten to wipe-out their enemies, as well as their own people, and environment, with them, fools do, and it is those very same fools who have proven themselves to be truly weak, not superior, as they are threatening the whole world with global suicide, even their own families--only someone who is truly sick and soulless, does that. That is insane, and there can be no superiority in that. The real primitives think like that...and they play with nuclear bombs, and biological weapons. As Einstein once said, "I don't know how world War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones." And...as for you, Tempurasan, you will be one of the very fools at the lead of the cave men tribes that will make-up the remainder of what is left of the human race, as you lead the battle, stick...and stone, in hand.

    That was beautifully written. You are truly intelligent and I bow down to your wisdom. Are there many like you in the land of Missed-the-fucking-point? I pointed out Avatar so-called racism to juxtapose the fuckers who insisted on TF2's racism. Do I really think Cameron as a racist bastard? Certainly not. I just think that he also missed the point, and that his portrayal of aborigine is a little naive. I'm also not a huge fan of his half baked gaia-theory spiritualism. His perfect Na'vi race also doesn't make too much anthropological sense. It seems highly unlikely that a planet would evolve where every species has usb 2.0 built into their skulls. But back to the Na'vi. It's obvious that he's trying to draw a connection to the aborigines living in the rain forest that the "civilized" world is so goddamn adamant on destroying. But at the same time, instead of trying to portray them in any kind of realistic or feasible light, he created this perfect race that literally has no faults at all. It's a goddamn fantasy, and it's poor fiction writing. Do I think they're beautiful and romantic? fuck yeah, because Cameron intended them to be that way. Do I think they're realistic, and therefore making a strong argument for his point? No. In the end, the film is fantastic entertainment, but it's no more than that.

    tempurasan, you do realize that avatar is "fiction" not a "documentary" right? So some of the things that seem unlikely, or impossible, are acceptable, especially when they are consistent with the film-worlds rules and the audiences expectations of what they will see.

    There is a difference between Bay's stereotyped african american robots and Cameron's totally clean amalgmation of multiple native people. Basically, one of them exaggerates a minority's/classe's traits for comedic/derogatory effect (as far as I can tell, haven't seen the film) and the other holds up the nobler parts of several types of cultures for emulation.

    and, michael bay does suck. Many people hate transformers because it is an example of everything wrong with film- exploitation of past franchises, disregard/respect for canon/characters/ commercialization, effects over plot and character.

    not to mention the total lost potential of a great adaptation. If someone had tried to make the movie a little more of a mature way, kids and adults would have been able to enjoy it for a long time, and probably gotten better reviews, no matter how "derivative" and "cheesy" it would be. Kind of like how Avatar stuck with what works and used a story that, even though was not really original, presented it in a way that everyone could enjoy.
    While I think TF the new franchise sucks, and anyone who likes them is an idiot, I do accept the fact there are people who like TF2 (unfortunately). I am sure someone like you who enjoys movies though, would probably be able to imagine Transformers made by Cameron or Ridley Scott (in his SF heyday). And if that isn't the movie you'd rather see...well its things like that I really don't understand.

    Yeah... I realized that Avatar is fiction... hence I said "poor fiction". Cameron obviously aimed for a more serious theme, and he obviously wants to make a connection to the different aborigine. There's nothing wrong with the "noble" representation that he came up with, it's just unimaginative and quite boring, and safe. There's one thing that turns me off when I'm watching a movie, and that is when a movie is a safe. I go to the movies firstly to be surprised. The success of Avatar just re-enforced my beliefs that most people do not like to be taken outside of their comfort zone when it comes to movies. If they were, guys like Werner Herzog would be a common household name. But alas, Cameron is shrewd. He knows people don't like new things, so he basically make a best-of remix of everything that has been proven successful and safe. It's okay if you like that... I jsut don't think you are very imaginative or adventurous when it comes to moviewatching. Which is a shame, considering that this site was created as an "alternative" to the mainstrain Hollywood audience. One would think a visitor here would welcome the weird and fucked up, and have an open mind about movies. But you guys are just as boring as the mainstream soccermom audiences, oversensitive to the slightest raw humor. What's worse, people here have taken on an elitism about film in general. You guys are so insecure that you can't even enjoy a dumb action film like TF2 without feeling like you just raped a small baby. Really think about what you're doing. You're judging people's intelligence based on their MOVIE TASTES. That's small minded and discrimatory, and it's just silly.

    These movies have failed on so many levels

    by mrevilbreakfast

    The first movie was more about the GI Joe army boys, who let the Autobots hang around with them. TF2 had way too many stupid scenes that were looking for cheap laughs - Sam's mum being stoned at college was the worst thing I'd ever seen. The fact that the Autobots left Sam's protection up to the goofball brothers who started the film as an ice-cream truck is what did it for me. The film could have been great if Ironhide or Ratchet were given the opportunity to protect the kid WHO HAD THE INFORMATION TO SAVE THE WORLD. It would have been a more sombre mood, but would have allowed for more development, especially after the death of Optimus.

    Like the cartoon was sooooooo deep and serious. The original movie had a song called "Dare to be Stupid" on it by Wierd Al. It was the gayest thing ever in the history of cinema. So I think Bay and his dog humping scenes/pot eating mom characters stayed true to the original cartoons. You still play with dolls don't you.

    and as far as Cameron goes.....

    by ih8harry

    I love T2, the Abyss, and Aliens. Avatar was unoriginal but still good. But no matter what Cameron does, I will always see him as the inglorious basterd who made Titanic. That movie is the worst, cheesiest, teen machine ever forced down our throats. It's like Twilight, Armageddon, and New Moon rolled into one giant teen soap opera abortion. It's just like that old saying: "You can build a thousand bridges, but suck one dick and you're known as a cocksucker, not a bridge builder". And that's what Cameron is....a cocksucker...a very rich cocksucker.

    I'm not saying they should make a live action movie of the cartoon. I don't hate you for liking TF, that's your opinion. I suppose I just wish it was something else, and I was disappointed that I couldn't find a whole lot to like about it. But hey, you enjoyed it, well done to you. I just don't think it would have been too hard to make a film that appealed to adults who grew up with TF when they were kids as well as kids of today. In my opinion, they failed. I'm not alone in my disappointment of the film, so in some regards it's a failure. In others, Bay and the team have done well to earn themselves buckets of cash. I'm just saying I didn't rate the film. Your earlier posts didn't resort to name calling, so let's just ease back on people with differing opinions, huh?

    Yeah I liked the first one but the second one was hard to watch. Bay is clueless. I fully expect Optimus Prime to hump somebody in this one.

    Well its very rare to see an entirely original story, but its nice to at least see one thats well told. But I have to say, in response...

    1) Herzog etc have nothing to do with Bay. Their stuff is CRAZY. I don't really like it, but I still see how it would really get some people going. American Psycho took people out of their comfort zones too. Bay's stuff is like what a 12 year old comes up with. Its exactly WITHIN everyones (by which I mean Some Executive, Retard Pre-Teen, General Populace) comfort zone, and thats why its being bashed. I would say Cameron took a lot of people OUT of their comfort zone (the average person, that is) by telling a story with some pretty relevant themes and characters. Every regular person I have talked to has said the movie is a metaphor for "society/war/whatever". Derivative or not, I haven't seen that happen for a while. On paper, the movie is maybe not so good, up for debate. But in the field, its a GOOD movie. People had fun, and it made them think and talk. Rare these days.

    2) Its not so much which movies, its the reason they like the movies, that I judge. TF (haven't seen TF2) is pretty bad. TF2 I hear is even worse. TF had huge plotholes. It pooped on the original stuff. And no one cared because it was "fun". So if you can sit and watch 90 minutes of cinematic chaos, 360 pans, pre-teen level ham handed jokes, and instead of thinking "wow, that movie could have been a LOT better for the money" you think "that was fun, my favorite part was the robot who peed! ", then yes I question your intelligence.

    Theres a difference between having guilty pleasures and liking shit movies. I don't go around trumpeting my love and defending the crap movies I like (ie Bill and Ted). I accept they are crap and that I like them anyways, and its a guilty pleasure.Whatever. Many people share it. But I will never try convince someone that Bill and Ted is "fun" movie. But the people that like TF2, instead of accepting its shittiness, just say "No it wasn't bad!" or "Yes, it was shitty I guess, but I LIKED IT, and you haven't a leg to stand on!" I don't think you can really defend a movie like that. Blockbuster or not, it sucked. Now if someone likes TF2, but understands it sucks, but doesn't really care, thats fine. But if someone thinks TF2, honestly, was a GOOD movie...then yes, someone is an idiot. I hope that made sense..?

    Avatar does nothing to take people out of their comfort zone. In fact, Cameron made sure he does NOTHING new in terms of story, plot, characters, pathos, and themes to make sure he doesn't take anyone by surprise. Because of this (and its mind blowing visuals and great action scenes), Avatar is making more money than god. Everything about this film in terms of plot and characters have been recycled verbatim from other movies. I knew exactly how the movie was going to end going in, and nothing that happened in the film surprised me. Not one moment in the film really had any suspense for me. I still enjoy the film for its strength, but saying the film took people out of their comfort zone and asked challenging and difficult questions is just silly. Now TF2 took people out of their comfort zone. It did that with its off color stereotypes and its over the top action scenes and just the energy of the film itself. It did that also by being unpredictable at every turn (therefore sacrificing any kind of coherence and a semblance of a story), but it did it. The first time I saw that I was literally overwhelmed by the last half hour on some sort of action overload. Is that a downfall of the film? to some people yes, in fact... to most. But for me, it just warrants repeat viewings, and for me to discover something new everytime I watch it. As for the whole "the reason people enjoying TF2 makes them idiots" angle you're working with. You're judging again. There are many ways people can like a film. Now if someone likes TF2 for Megan Fox and its CGi, and goes to Avatar and likes the film for its CGi and the way Neytiri looks, do you look down on that person too? And what's wrong with liking TF2 for its humor? It's the same type of off color humor that Eddie Murphy used to work with in his two highly popular stand ups back in the day. But I'll tell you why I like TF2, so you can look down on me too. I liked the film for its absolutely relentless energy. Everything from shots framing, camera movements to editing ensure that energy and kinetic momentum is kept up throughout the film. Even in moments like plot reveal that would bring most films to a crashing halt, Bay ensure that something would be happening to keep the momentum going. It caused a very exhausting movie viewing experience, but as I said, it made repeat viewings a little more enjoyable. I also loved Bay's enthusiasms for action scenes. I understand the complaints that the robots are too complexly designed that it confuses the eye, but the way he shoots his action scenes are impeccable. Long takes, much longer than any director are willing to do nowaday, and really intelligent blocking and framing of shots. Bay always make sure that he treats these robots like the giants that they are, and film them accordingly. The first film was shot like it was a monster movie. What I meant is that every shot of the Transformers were shot from a perspective of a human. If you can bear watching that film again, pay attention to the way he shoots the Transformers. There's always a human in frame, and it's always from their perspectives. In Transformers 2, he realized that the same concept would be cause diminishing returns so he pulled the camera back and shoot them in all their splendor. I love the music of the films. Don't have to explain myself there. And this is a controversial opinion, but I actually love the designs of the robots. It takes it out of the 80s saturday morning cartoon feel and put it in the present day. These robots are being treated like alien cybernetic organism, and not just robots. They're sentient beings that are highly complex, but they're also more organic in designs (which explains why they bleed in TF2). They are alien in designs, unlike anything that would appear "Earthlike". Imagine if human transforms. Take away our skins and we're highly complex as well in our designs. Same concept with the Transformers, skinless and metal with Armor. Last note: to the fucking idiots complaining about how flames on Optimus are only there to sell more toys... WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THE ORIGINAL SERIES EVEN EXISTED??? TO SELL MORE FUCKING TOYS!!!

    Asimov it was never hip to like Bay on AICN.

    by ganymede3001

    Being one of his early supporters. I was engaged in verbal sparing matches daily with all the board veterans. All of which accused me of being a paid studio plant. AICN has never been a Bay friendly atmosphere. Every single Robot design during the TF1 production was ripped to hell on back on this board. Bay has always been universally hated here by most.

    DocPazuzu and Ganymede3001 have got it right and you've got it wrong. I don't know what posts or search results you're referring to but I was a participant in those first TRANSFORMERS Talkbacks and I remember the anti-Bay sentiment being the majority opinion.

    Cybertron?

    by betasword

    When reading "this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape", I can only think of Planet Cybertron.
    Also I'm wondering, if they manage to claim the Decepticon-Transmission from the Sequel as a fake or not.
