Re: Transformers 3 Announced For 2011
I dont get the Bay bashers...
Mostly because they dont understand that the world can exist with something with a lot of heart and emotion like....i'll use a super obvious movie, Forrest Gump, and a movie like Speed. One film has subtexts, and messages about life, and America, and all that...the other, is a bomb on a bus.
There will be days I would rather watch a movie like There Will Be Blood, or the mentioned, Forrest Gump...and there will be days I want to watch Speed.
Same goes here. I'll go see The Kings Speech, and be moved, and enjoy the film. But I dont want to see that every day. I want to see some ____ blow up for 2 hours. I just want 2 hours of BAYHEM, and crude childish humor because I'm in the mood for that.
Michael Bay makes action movies. He always has, and always will. I love him for doing that. Other directors do genre hopping, which is totally great, but I like that there is someone out there who will almost always deliver what you expect.
Some people hate him for it. But I say, meh....
Some people call him a hack....I say, you're an wrong. He's not a hack. He has a style. We all make fun of it...but he has one. Unlike people like Paul W.S Anderson, or Brett Ratner, who have none.
Yeah, he's a one trick pony....but atleast by being one, you dont have to worry about a really lame in your face political subtext that's in your face. You know he's going to make a movie with 'Splosions with Hot Chicks who are sweaty.
Michael Bay is the Dollar Menu fast food burger. It aint great, but at the right time, it's ____ing satisfying. You know exactly what you're eating. You know it's not great. You know it's not high quailty....but man, at that moment, you're happy...because that awesome tastes good.
Eat that awesome!
That's my Bay rant of the night.
