Just a week before Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is unleashed upon theaters, Michael Bay now is quoted in an interview as saying he is done with the Transformers world, and he wants to focus on some other movies, preferably ones that don't have lots of explosions. No, seriously, that is what he said. A Michael Bay movie without explosions is like an Oreo without the cream filling.
Alright, the thing is, he pulled this crap last time, whining about being too tired, blah, blah, blah. I say, quit being a wussie, and suck it up, he's getting paid more money than God to do this film. I think this is just another way to ensure he gets a ton of money for the next picture.
I just think this is in incredibly poor taste, and bad timing. I mean, the movie hits theaters in a week, and you are already saying your done with the franchise, and you deserve the money. I mean, really? This week should be all about promotion of a huge franchise that should take top spot of the year, not crying about how hard it was.
Oh well, I still admit that I am a big fan of Bay, despite this theatrical performance. His movies always deliver solid results, and are often a great ride. Sure there was Pearl Harbor, but for every Pearl Harbor, there seems to be a Bad Boys 2, and that movie is all kinds of awesome.
So, what do you think, should Bay stay with the boom-booms, or should he try his hand at the drama? Maybe mix the two?
Got it! A love scene in the middle of an explosion, or maybe some guy crying about never learning to read in the middle of an explosion, or...a director who gets paid bajillions to direct a movie, crying during an explosion....I'm calling Hollywood right now....

I like him and think he does have some good insight but this was just a stupid thing to say at the wrong time. Ya know?
