Imagine if all that effort actually went into Hard News.

If that was a "Hard News" site they would need more private booths. Hard News nowadays is all about yelling commentary rather than reporting what happened. Can you imagine what a room with O'Reily, Olberman, Hannity, and the rest would sound like as they all tried to get their podcasts out first.

I'm elated that Bay screwed up another movie by casting an actor who has no box office clout. If he keeps it up, he'll be on the forgotten hacks list with Emmerich. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117986171.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

DZ, in what language would you like me to breakdwn TRANSFORMERS success for you? I'm not actionman, and no particular fan of Bay, but he is not the antichrist. And THE ISLAND, his big flop with "no clout stars?" It's by far his best film.

Burma: Transformers may have been a hit, but that's still Bay at his peak. Like Cameron after Titanic, nothing he'll do next will deliver that kind of success. And if "The Island" was so good, Bay would have acknowledged it as a remake of Clonus Horror instead of having to be sued on top of sinking Dreamworks.

scooterzz says ...

actually, i thought 'the island' to be bay's weakest effort.....that said, those special edition puma kicks they gave out as swag are HANDS DOWN THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY VERY LONG LIFE!!!!!!!!!........the downside is that every time i put them on i remember 'the island'.....hmmmmm...pain in head -- pleasure in foot......this is such a tough job.....

I don't see Bay's name anywhere in that Variety story.

And wasn't Day After Tomorrow a hit, despite being ridiculous?

Richardson says ...

Yes, you were right DZ, that article was about Michael Bay casting an actor in a movie. *Totally* right. Not at all wrong. Not all moronic.

Richardson: I was wrong about Bay being involved in the recent casting decision, but he was involved with the project.

Richardson says ...

But your moronic post was that he had miscast the movie. Therefore, it is 1000% WRONG. And you're a fucking idiot who keeps insisting that you weren't wrong because of mitigating factors that have nothing to do with what you said, which was WRONG.

holy shit, you're stupid.
