Michael Bay, how I hate thee let me count the ways

Lets get this straight.

Everything Michael Bay touches turns to crap. The man just can't do anything right.

Transformers is a big dumb film. If that's what you want then run and see it. If, however, you were wanting something a bit more and something good, then maybe hold off for the DVD release......unless you have a blu-ray player.

Now I'm not sure what sane person has a blu-ray player. The only people that I can imagine have them, are the idiots that have gone and bought a PS3, of which I hope no-one did.

The only person that I know that wants a PS3 is my brother, and well he's just not right in the head.

The Times has reported that Michael Bay posted on his website whining and bitching about Paramount, and in one amazing sentence everything seemed good in the world. It seem's that he was having dinner with friends and they were complaining that Transformers wasn't going to get a Blu-ray release, it's only coming out on DVD and HD-DVD. This made the Bay get angry, and when Bay gets angry he gets drunk, and when he gets drunk......well he throws his toys out of his pram and whinges to the world.


"Paramount pisses me off, I want to people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For them to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks!"



Well Bay, you want people to see your movies. Well we disagree there but lets continue. Lets take a trip to amazon.com (product placement in hope of free shit) I searched for HD-DVD player. The first one I got was this one. That's just the $238 then. How about a Blu-ray player then? $483, are you crazy? Now I am sure that if you hunt around that you will find players for cheaper than that, but these are the expensive ones that are at the top of the list on amazon.com (what a great site, *wink*) Who in their right mind is going to pay that bloody much for a player to watch a Michael Bay film? I hope no-one.

Mr Bay also went on to say....

"No Transformers 2 for me!"


Don't fuck with me Bay. That's not funny. Transformers 2 is a pointless film really, but in the right hands, it could maybe be good.


But alas, the very next day he wrote a retraction......and went on to say how HD-DVD is really good and that people should maybe get those players, because they are cheaper and very good quality.


I will be buying HD-DVD stuff eventually. It's a good price and its good stuff. I will most likely never own another Sony item in my life, I hope.


Well maybe a PS2, cause Tekken is bad ass.
