If you're a smart consumer, you don't have to steal something to find out if it's worth your allowance money. The justification for stealing is often times to mask the fact that the consumer is uncontrollably intrigued by the product — enough so to sit through the entire thing — and for that reason alone they should be compensating those involved. You don't eat the entire meal at a restaurant you don't even like and then try to tell the wait staff it wasn't satisfying and you expect your meal to be on the house.

Once again, they preview the film. They tell you who was involved in making it. You know you don't like Michael Bay movies. You know his films are critically panned. You know you don't like what you see in the previews. And after all that, you still think you're entitled to a free copy. That's bullshit.

errr

Spam I didn't claim to have watched a MB film recently by bootleging it.

But on the other hand folks you believed that could do good movies started to lose their touch like Spielberg and Lucas so in this days you cannot be sure. I wouldn't be surprised if Cameron's Avatar actually sucks for example

And stop with the preview nonsense, you know damn well that a few seconds trailers make a movie look much better than they are most of the time

Like Watchmen....it looked slick and interesting. But the film itself failed to capture and a down right mess.

Sometimes it’s the other way round. I remember hating all the trailers for Iron-Man with a passion. When it came to the finished film, though, I loved it. But I admit, it is rare for this to happen. Of course, you could argue and say that you should be aware that trailers are usually better than the actual film, so that should be considered when you decide whether you’re going to watch it or not.

Everytime I read or hear a statement like this I think of Spiderman 3...

Spiderman 3 was just a mess...even in the trailer it looked apparent. But many went anyway just because it was a Spiderman movie....just like Superman Returns. And don't they all regret watching those.

Trailers will always tend to be more interesting then the film itself. (And have better music at times)

Absolutely. I've considered downloading movies when they're not available to watch in my local area - if the distributors aren't prepared to sell it to me, then fuck them. But yeah, Kenzo's just trying to justify being a lame cheap skate.

So, if Kenzo downloads a movie he's expecting to suck, and it turns out to be really, really good, does he then go to the cinema and donate the admission price? It would only be fair, right?

Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

Michael

So Bob and Alex is it true. you wont be involved this time round.

Bob did mention earlier that he may pass on Tf3. After how Tf2 turned out, I don't blame the guy at all. Who wants to be associated with that garbage?

All I want is a coherent story and no sex jokes. Is that too much to ask for?

Maybe we should get behind that one like we did with getting Cullen on board. I think that's one of the fiew things as a whole the fanbase can get behind. Even Mikey Bay's forum might get behind that one.

Robertoooooo where art thou?!

Will you be back?

Its funny how a lot of the problems people have sighted with ROTF almost all stem from the writing side. Yet the sun still shines out of the writer’s anuses and Bay is the Devil. Am I missing something? Don’t get me wrong, Bay is an over-bearing narcissist, but did Bay direct and write ROTF?

I do recall Orci, saying that it was time for fresh blood. and i also wouldn't blame him if he has left.

Still though i would of like to seen them both stay on and finish the third film.
and then left it at that.

Actually I coulda swore somewhere it was said Bay had a crack at a draft of some sort during the writers strike. Could be wrong though.

Bay is just one of those kinds of people you can hate because he really is a dick towards fans who don't worship his every movement like those on his boards.

Can you blame him? He probably doesn't like when people hack his computer for scripts or send death-threats because of cartoon characters.

Not saying all fans are douches like that, but, like the sex jokes on the movie that you hate so much, it's the rotten apples that leave the most marking impressions.

How's Trek?

People were screwing with his stuff because we KNEW he'd fuck with Transformers, and they were just trying to preparethemselves for that rather than getting slapped in the face.

Yes, hacking is wrong, and the perpitrators of those crimes should be punished. But that doesnt give Bay the right to do what he did to Transformers.

awesome i know in the creative process, especially with someone as strongheaded as mr bay, there were things you were came to blows with scriptwise. im hoping ehren fights valiantly for making the humor a bit less crude, one of the oddest things about revenge of the fallen were how many parents I heard wouldnt take their children to see it.

I can't blame them.

He does. He really did his homework. He's awesome.
