Here's the thing:
I don't have to sit here and list reams and reams of things that I like, Of movies that I like, simply because I share a rather majority opinion (majority of those with functioning ganglion, anyway) that Michael Bay is garbage.
Pointing out the fact that everything he does is vapid trash meant for cheap, brain-insulting thrills (and they fail in thrills, honestly), does not preclude me to have to qualify what I do like. It's testemanet to the fact that I know what I'm talking about, and I actually do like movies.
I use appreciation of Michael Bay as a qualifier for someone who has very low film exposure. You may like him simply because you are highly selective with what you watch. You probably don't like foreign flicks b/c "I hate having to read while I watch a movie--what the fuck is that? WhAAAAA!" or maybe, "that was too long and too much of a chick flick and drama and stuff."
whatever.
It's a natural Law, much like gravity, much like evolution--that MIchael Bay makes trash--and he makes it very, very poorly. He makes explosions--THAT IS FUCKING IT. His movies are edited poorly, the dialogue is always terrible, the characters are flat pieces of garbage. every time. It's like amateur hour with a non-amateur budget. He makes movies for idiot teenagers that have nothing better to do than spend mommy and daddies money at the theater.
