Yeah, I've been there a coupla times. I was gonna move there, but this job came up and I ended up relocating to CA.
I love it here but Venice is a poor man's Bondi.

anyway, so how's freedom from the bay cage treating you?

Damn. Nothing ever happens in Indonesia, you know the country next to the country of Bali.

You should try and sneak into Bay's luggage and make the UK next time too. Unless you were at the press screening last year but hiding.

what's with this star trek reference in tf2? something from past star treks or the new one ur working on?

A country which has crocodiles in its rivers, and Great Whites around its coastal areas! I guess swimming is out of the question?

But that's the only way to escape. Worth the risk.

Either you escape the island and live...
Or you escape and are eaten by a shark..

Both ways is an escape..
Where the first one gives you the risk of ending up in Indonesia, India or NewZealand..




Wonders what is worse..

Bob and Alex apparently enjoy sea men.

What? It's the funniest title I could think of.

I hope it won't be their Waterworld.

Roberto,did you feel alot of pressure before completing the first draft? How laid back was Hasbro when it came to input for the Transformers 2 script???

[Frenzy]

Hey Bob- today - good hair day or bad hair day?

Of course! We were locked up with 2 studios looking at their watches and calenders wondering where the script was and if it would be THE script that gets shot in six weeks...

So it's a first draft, right?

How much in the way of revision do you think the different parties involved will want? You were already working off of stuff that Bay wanted because of his little dabbling with the treatment, so I would think it'd require less revision, especially for the action, because of that....

And will it be?

Or is that still yet to be decided?

I thought Waterworld kicked ass. From what I remember reading it actually took a fair bit of cash monies in the end too

Only because the entire production got caught in a hurricane and destroyed and they had to rebuild everything....haha

I've learned that you don't really know until the first day of shooting. Till then it's anybody's guess.

Oh yeah, that's to be expected, but presumably this first/second draft is being ramped up to be the shooting script once polished? Have you had that much feedback from Baytown, or is it still up in the air until his Bayness gives a thumbs up?

I guess what I'm asking is whether he's been sat on your shoulders reading it section by section as you submitted it and giving it his tentative approval or whether he's waited until the whole script was done and is now reading and will let you know/has now read the whole thing and has approved where you're at?

I kinda figured we'd know whether it was done when the top got blown off Bay's office, y'know?


*Bay* This...is AWESOME!

And now you realize you've swapped the scripts...
