Douche.

Sir,

In this country we have something called free speech. If you do not understand the concept of free speech please exit stage left.

What are you talking about? What does free speech have to do with my post?

Apparently the concept of free speech means that you're not allowed to voice your opinion. An interesting comment given that the OP is, in essence, trying to restrict Michael Bay's right of free speech. In other words, dud is an idiot, and it is my free speech right to say that.

It's okay if Michael Bay sticks to making Michael Bay type flicks for children. He's absolutely the right guy to direct brain-dead action movies like Transformers. The trouble comes when he tries to turn real movies into special effects chase sequences. The Island, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor *could* have been good with a different director, but Bay botched them.

The Island was a great movie imo.

yup on the DVD commentary they said the marketing dept failed it miserably. There was virtually none to speak of.

Please don't consult George Lucas for writing the love story portion anymore, either.

I just saw T2. I was actually angry after watching it. I felt like "This guy is sinking $200 million into this cancer of a movie and people are moving like zombies to see it---giving him cause to make more!" This has to stop.

Well, to be fair, most sequels are terrible, so he's just fitting in ;)
