And with that, Bayhem wraps itself up at last. Happy Memorial Day to all my U.S. readers. To my international audience, I apologize in advance, but it’s time to gorge myself on ribs on get nothing done for the entire week. I’ll see you next Monday, when we’ll return recharged and ready for more sci-fi “spectaculars,” crappy 80s horror movies, and a visit from Bruce Lee’s ghost. Thanks for watching, you guys.
This made a laugh out loud:
“Bay often traces his interest in action films back to an incident during his childhood. As a boy, he attached some firecrackers to a toy train and filmed the ensuing fiery disaster with his mother’s 8mm camera. The fire department was called and he was grounded.” – Wikipedia
Now I want to see a movie about Michael Bay, like Ed Wood.
We really should start a petition to get Tim Burton on this, right away. Man needs something to distract him from remaking/ruining another sci-fi classic. Too bad Bay never developed a taste for angora…that I know of…
As my esteemed colleague, Film Crit Hulk, put it in his excellent review of this film:
1:07 – MICHAEL BAY’S MILITARY HARD-ON AND ANTI-LIBERAL STUFF KINDA AMAZING. IT SO PRESENT YET ILL-DEFINED. HULK SO CURIOUS WHERE IT COME FROM. HE MILITARY FAMILY? HULK KNOW HE NEVER SERVED…
1:07 – HULK LAUGH. HULK DO LITTLE RESEARCH. OF COURSE BAY WENT TO CROSSROADS IN L.A. (HIPPY DIPPY NO GRADES TYPE SCHOOL) AND OF COURSE HE GO WESLEYAN (THE MOST HIPPY DIPPY COLLEGE IN COUNTRY). OF COURSE HE ADOPTED KID OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST. IT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE NOW. THIS NOT THE DECENT CONSERVATISM OF RATIONAL, GROUNDED AMERICAN BASED ON EXPERIENCE (AND ANY POLITICS IS FINE TO HULK IF BUILT ON DECENCY). BUT NO. THIS KNEE-JERK REACTION TO BEING SUBJECTED TO MOST LIBERAL AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTS POSSIBLE. THIS INNER DESIRE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS + BADASS EVEN THOUGH BAY’S ENTIRE LIFE ABOUT AS NON-MILITARY FOCUSED OR NON-CONSERVATIVE AS IT GET. THIS IS I’M-A-TOUGH-GUY-PLAY-TIME.
1:07 – IT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE NOW.
1:08 – FOR THAT COMMENTARY HULK CURRENTLY BEING SUBJECTED TO FULL RAVAGE OF SKIDZ +MUDFLAP. THANKS KARMA.
