Lol, geez, whatever happened to movies being used for entertainment instead of being hacked apart to point out technical inaccuracies (sp?)?
Lol, geez, whatever happened to movies being used for entertainment instead of being hacked apart to point out technical inaccuracies (sp?)? Cmon people it's not called the "Transformers Documentary - based on a true story". With my job I learned to watch movies for the entertainment value. Otherwise I'd never be able to enjoy a space/NASA-containing movie ever again. Say what you want, I still like Armageddon, lol

So Armaggedon is your favorite film of all time?
So you wouldn't be offended if there was a scene where Megatron and Co. laid waste to Launch Complex 39, padrat?

Nobody liked Avatar? I actually thought it was a half-way decent movie. And I didn't even see it in 3-d

That's a reach.
Or how about the fact that Bay regularly has his characters shout at each other? Watch The Rock, or Con Air, and notice that shouting matches are what Bay considers "dialogue."
Or how about the fact that Bay doesn't care about even the obvious plot holes in his movies? For example, Transformers 2 again--how is it that these giant robots have destroyed a number of city blocks in an American city in the previous movie, and vast swaths of a Chinese city in this movie, and yet somehow the government has kept this all secret?

You forgot the fact that the city portrayed by Los Angeles in the first Transformers film is called Mission City...but in Transformers 2 it's actually referred to as L.A. I understand that the screenwriters for TF2 were affected by the Writer's Strike 2 years ago...but a simple mistake like that should've been spotted quickly.
Oh, and you forgot to mention that Bay supposedly treats the actresses in his films poorly. He supposedly made Kate Beckinsale cry during the filming of Pearl Harbor...and it's clearly obvious Megan Fox left Transformers because Bay objectifed her up the wazoo.That opening shot of Fox on the motorcycle in TF2? She supposedly didn't know that Bay was filming her from behind.
Watch the underwater scene where the robots dive. He gets the math wrong. It's so basic that you cannot miss it. Obviously he just doesn't care.
Oh, it's clear he doesn't like women all that much (well, except as sex objects--he first put her in a bikini on Bad Boys 2 when she was only 16). But to be honest here, Megan Fox got canned because she is not only untalented, but shot off her mouth about Bay.
