Oh my God, you guys are quoting FilmDrunk now? by D.Vader	Jun 30th, 2009 10:19:29 AM
Wow, that website has finally hit the bigtime when you guys are borrowing stories from them. I figured you guys were just completely oblivious to its existence.
We present to you... by Sulla	Jun 30th, 2009 10:23:27 AM
yet another steaming pile of shit from Michael Bay! Come one come all! Err...I mean, Come morons and tasteless moviegoers! Even if he ends up only producing it, it'll suck, he's good like that.
"At its core it’s a type of father/son alone in the world,... by Big Jim	Jun 30th, 2009 10:24:42 AM
"...always moving to stay alive story, a lá The Road." Unless the world they are "alone" in is some post-apocalyptic wasteland and they are not actually "alone" I suspect it will be closer to "Escape to Witch Mountain" than "The Road". From the descriptions it seems like a cross between "Roswell" and "The Covenant".
Wow, what a lumpy, derivative, cliche milkshake... by FlickaPoo	Jun 30th, 2009 10:26:06 AM
...take the worst elements of ROSWELL, SMALVILLE, X MEN, and every other spandexy, hunted, misunderstood, pimply, teen wish fulfillment fantasy...add a weak sprinkling of Tolkienesque place names, and...PRESTO!...a warm, moist pile of shit! I do hope they add a good 120 million worth of shiny computer effects...
ok if an entire species couldn't stop the mongofags... by Warcraft	Jun 30th, 2009 10:35:15 AM

Escape from Bay Mountain... by BoggyCreekBeast	Jun 30th, 2009 10:59:49 AM
I'd rather watch Pearl Harbor again! Well, actually...
how does that not sound like a SciFi original? by jackknifed_juggernaut	Jun 30th, 2009 11:00:48 AM

SciFi? by maxwell's hammer	Jun 30th, 2009 11:20:19 AM
That sounds more like the Disney Channel! "All new 'I AM NUMBER FOUR', tomorrow night after 'Hannah Montana'! Only on Disney!!"
THIS IS FUCKING SUPERMAN!!! by Judge Briggs	Jun 30th, 2009 11:22:30 AM
Humanoids land on planet earth and develop powers? That is fucking Superman! Bay, you retard!
What about the Robots..... by D o o d	Jun 30th, 2009 11:30:03 AM
where do they fit into all this..?
I gotta admit . . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 30th, 2009 11:32:55 AM
. . . I can't stand Bay, but if he's adapting something I've never heard of, and I have no expectations, fuck it, lets blow some shit up!!!!!!

I'm generally liberal, but I'm getting sick of these illegal... by FlickaPoo	Jun 30th, 2009 11:47:02 AM
...alien space teens hopping the fence into our planet and wasting taxpayer dollars and generally fucking things up. The Mexican and other illegals I have met have been hardworking, ambitious people trying their damndest to catch a better break in the world. These illegal space teens are just fucking useless. If they ever even have a job it's at some cute, quirky caffelatte shop or some such...they're always getting into improbable trouble...and if they get hurt they just show up broken and bleeding at the emergency room, where they waste tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on fancy diagnostic tests, all of which prove futile since their insides are some unholy mix of titanium and cinnamon raisin oatmeal sludge that no doctor on Earth could fix anyway...of course they just find some rock with a rune on it or something and are healed and fine next fucking week anyway. And of course they're never really alone are they? They're always being hunted down by some angry retarded hillbilly space alien cousin or an intergalactic bounty hunter...who eventually finds them...and in the space bitch fight that follows any number of law abiding and well meaning citizens are harmed, lose their memory, killed, or much worse...not to mention the loss of personal property and real estate to unnecessarily large and cheesy explosions...this is getting out of control...
Lost me at "planet Mogadore" by ricarleite2	Jun 30th, 2009 11:58:14 AM
Damn you Michael Bay. Couldn't Michael Bay die so Michael Jackson lives? Guess not, God wanted one less kid-buggerer in the world.
Roswell with explosions by photoboy	Jun 30th, 2009 12:11:34 PM
Still, I don't care as long as he's not making any more appalling Transformers films.
Lost me with "James Frey" by I am_NOTREAL	Jun 30th, 2009 12:20:21 PM
Fuck that lying asshole. "If I say it's all true, I'll sell more copies!" Seriously. Fuck him.
At it's core,...ala THE ROAD by Subtitles_Off	Jun 30th, 2009 01:14:07 PM
Most absurd comparison in the history of comparisons.
The fifteen year old is slammin' hot! by Subtitles_Off	Jun 30th, 2009 01:18:36 PM
That's how you save a planet! If you're a boy, you use your faux-dorky charm. And, if you're a girl, you use your hot, mature-for-her-age titties. Age has nothing to do with it. Just hide all the real teens with their awkwardness, their acne and their Maroon 5 cds, 'cause aliens can rip those twerps up.
If they want the planet's resources... by Chewtoy	Jun 30th, 2009 01:26:36 PM
...Why bother following a handful of survivors to Earth? Did the teens abscond with all of their planet's resources in a duffle bag or something? Are you sure this project isn't being written by the "Star Trek/TF2" duo? They seem to be big on the "things happen because the script says so" premise of plotting, and not any actual logical progression of events.
As long as there are two racist robots in it I'm in! by spectrebeeyatch	Jun 30th, 2009 01:39:56 PM
Bay what happened? Go make something like the Rock again please!

I like how Micheal Bay continues to get publicity by theycallmemrtibbs	Jun 30th, 2009 01:59:47 PM
Even though he's the most hated man mentioned on Aintitcool
Megabore by christian66	Jun 30th, 2009 02:16:00 PM
Somebody had to type it.
Re: Mogadore ... by ArmageddonProductions	Jun 30th, 2009 02:17:33 PM
... is a suburb of Akron, Ohio. True, it's about the size of a postage stamp, but no E & O guys flagged this, yet? I doubt Bay and Dreamworks are gonna feel like losing millions of dollars and getting slapped with a cease and desist order before their 180 million dollar summer tentpole even gets a chance to kill billions of moviegoing braincells.
BUT WHO IS NUMBER ONE!??!?! by Crow3711	Jun 30th, 2009 02:32:49 PM
Just kidding. Anyway, fuck anything Michael Bay touches. I'd love to see the guy sit down and read a script. Feverishly blowing through pages full of this so-called "dialogue" stuff, and then going off on his own tangents about how he loves it SOO FUCKING MUCH but hes going to completely change everything about it so its just one giant car chase + titties. If he's directing, should it really matter to any of us what the movie is actually about. He should have a press release that includes the proposed set pieces, that would technically make more sense.
roswell by johnnysunshine	Jun 30th, 2009 04:42:47 PM
Yeah, this does sound kinda like Roswell, which isn't a bad thing since that show was actually pretty good for at least its first season. I hope Michael Bay lets someone besides himself direct though as I've never liked any of his movies.
Sounds like "The Powers of Matthew Star" by Shan	Jun 30th, 2009 05:22:25 PM
Sounds like "The Powers of Matthew Star", which also was about someone who was from another planet escaping from invaders and hiding as a high school student. Meanwhile, the enemy comes looking for him and ... etc etc. Which goes back much further than Roswell.
YOU MAY BE NUMBER FOUR, BUT I'M DOING A NUMBER TWO! by MrMysteryGuest	Jun 30th, 2009 05:22:51 PM

Sounds dumb by Charlie_Allnut	Jun 30th, 2009 05:23:03 PM
I know its just a pitch, but it sounds stupid to me. If Bay does sci fi I want him to do a retardedly violent epic space opera, with lots of gun fights, hot chicks, and really cool space ships.
FUCK MICHAEL BAY! by FuckMichaelBay	Jun 30th, 2009 05:31:18 PM
FUCK MICHAEL BAY!

but that is SOP for movies these days. These are dark days for the movie industry.

Wheeeee! by archer1949	Jun 30th, 2009 07:16:47 PM
Roswell with a mega budget, 27 year old strippers posing as teenagers and BAY-SPLOSIONS!!!!! How can this lose? I hope all you idiots who paid money to see Transformers 2 are happy now. You have given him the green light for him to do anything...ANYTHING that pops into that fetid swamp he calls a brain. You have granted him ULTIMATE POWER. Ponder that and tremble, you freaking SHEEP!
the answer is simple melvin. by Warcraft	Jun 30th, 2009 08:47:10 PM
it's because every single person on lorien was a preteen and didn't have their powers yet.......................fuck this movie.

Something to do with The Prisoner? by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jul 1st, 2009 06:57:09 AM
Aliens in high school. Nevermind.
Brains are your friend. by NacDasty	Jul 1st, 2009 07:20:21 AM
The people who like Bay movies need to turn their brains back on when they leave the theater.

Michael Bay's THIS IS NUMBER TWO by Buzz Maverik	Jul 1st, 2009 08:03:00 AM
Huh-huh! Heh-heh! That was cool.
OLD NEWS by AxeEmAll	Jul 1st, 2009 08:26:19 AM
It appeared last week on rottentomatoes.com.
That plot sounds kinda close to the original Transformers backst by JusticeSabre	Jul 1st, 2009 09:34:05 AM
The one that Bay flushed down the toilet because it didn't have enough hot chicks, concept cars and dogs doing dog things. WTF?
Sounds like a shit version of tv's "Roswell" by Hint_of_Smegma	Jul 1st, 2009 10:39:59 AM
...hold on though, that show was shit too! Lets do the math here. Shit TV show + rip-off shit film by Bay = an awful lot of shit, flinging its way towards a screen near you. Any post-release reviews are now irrelevant, I've used my powers of prescience to save you all the bother. You're welcome.
Escape from Witch Mountain... by StatelyWayneManor	Jul 1st, 2009 11:58:44 AM
...with explosions.
What the fuck is this retarded bullshit? by AsimovLives	Jul 1st, 2009 03:18:31 PM
Small wonder Michael Bay wants to make it.
NacDasty by AsimovLives	Jul 1st, 2009 03:20:16 PM
The people who like Bay movies only turn their brains on after they post on AICN their positive and glowing posts praising Bay and his movies.
My only question by RobertCrane	Jul 1st, 2009 09:18:13 PM
Was there like a huge mound of blow or X in the room when this pile of shit was greenlit? Who supplies hollyweird with their dope?
OMG! OMG! OMG! by kataklysmic	Jul 2nd, 2009 01:40:28 AM
Oh my god, you guys, can you imagine what we would do with all of our time if we didn't have Michael Bay to hate?! What would happen if we just ignored the new about his future projects, and just like...didn't see them or comment on them?...I think the universe would like implode or something.
Michael Bay directing a James Frey work? by carraway	Aug 27th, 2009 11:14:29 PM
