Boy, he’s getting the hang of this ‘misinformation’ thing, ain’t he!

I predict Transformers 2 will suck donkey nuts.

w anchor is what springs to mind. although he’s doing it on purpose to just wind people up.

Michael Bay seems like a nice guy, and that was genuinely funny. He’s just joking.

This is why im starting to like UWE BOLL over this Troll called Michael Gay!!!

I like people with an actual sense of humor. I enjoy seeing it on people who usually have pretty serious jobs (not necessarily talking about directors on that second part).

Awesome
May 8th, 2008 at 8:56 am
This was pretty funny. It’s clearly in jest.

Where were the explosions?

Has anyone else read the bad review on AICN. got that horrible “phantom menace” pit in my stomach starting to grow. Apparently the bad buzz is growing on this, which i find really odd, considering Spielberg’s talents, despite fluctuations, always deliver a watchable and enticing film, consistently over the past 10-15 years. Even his ‘flubs’ are fun to watch.

i think bay could make a movie that everyone genuinely loves, and he still wouldn’t get any love. i think he’s cool.
May 8th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Ha. That’s pretty good. I like Bay, and most of his movies. I agree with orange cinema above, no matter what Bay does, even if it was the greatest movie ever made, you little kids are still gonna be on here bitching about it… while sitting at home, doing nothing… like you could do better. I’d like to see you try.

Well I had already written off Indy 4 but if Bay says it will suck then it must be good.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I always have a frustrating opinion about Bay. Most of his movies are too stylized, too big, and too expensive…but he just seems like such a cool guy. Dammit, Bay! You can’t be a cool-douche! They don’t exist!
May 8th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
A cool douche? *Insert Lulz here*
That was funny, I don’t like his style but he seems like he *could* be cool, at the very least he’s got a sense of humor about himself, which is more than I can say for 95% of big budget Hollywood directors.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I never knew he could be that funny. I’m surprised. I hope Transformers 2 is gonna be better then the first one, though.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I like a few of his films, mainly The Island and Transformers… but I like him as a guy. Carries a good nature about him I think. This was really funny honestly hah.
May 8th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Pearl Harbour.
May 8th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I will say this, it would have been even funnier if he had said it while wearing Groucho Marx glasses…
May 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Let’s see - how much do I care what a renowned miserable cretin, a worthless antitalent and a vile, disgusting racist pig has to say about Indy IV?
Yep, Mikey - about as much as I care for your pseudofilms. Don’t you have some videos of lynchings to watch to keep you busy? I know you love those.
May 8th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
michael you are a dope to say indy 4 sucks
May 8th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
To people who are offended by Bay. Watch the video, he was being sarcastic and it’s actually pretty funny.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Didn’t he start out as a PA on Night Court? Shouldn’t that job demand a sense of humor? I like dry humor. He seems to ooze a little too much cheese for me. The ‘uhhh’ at the end of the clip says it all.

having just returned from opening night indiana jones and the OH SHIT SPIELBERG IS OBSESSIVELY ADDICTED TO ALIENS, INJECTING THEM INTO EVERY “STORY” OR “PLOT” LINE AND FUCKING UP HIS LEGACY LIKE LUCAS DID BY RAPING HIS ORIGINAL CONCEPTS AND ALIENATING HIS FANS, i can say “oh the irony.”
srsly, he gets married, finds out he has a greaser son who swings by vines through the rain forest so he can later on expertly fence with russian cate blanchet even though he dropped out of every prep school including fencing classes, and then hive mind crystal skeletoned aliens merge and open a portal to a new dimension, sucking up all the russians, killing cate blanchet, and destroying all evidence. two hours of special effects and bland plot movement, cheap explanations of what has happened in the last 20 years with NO FLASHBACKS and oh yeah, marcus brody and hank sr. are just dead. that’s it.

I saw it. I felt so rushed through everything. Huge let-down in my book… I tried to like it.. just couldn’t.. So angry.. must go now..
