OFFICIAL Michael Bay friggin' ROCKS thread!

[atdm71]

Here's your thread. We all want it. Just go off on how much Michael Bay ROCKS for the comments he made regarding Paramount's ugly move. Needless to say, I encourage you all to clear the shelves of Pearl Harbour on Blu-ray today, as I know many of you surely will.

I am also changing my Avatar today, to none other than Michael Bay!

as some1 said b4 2day the 21st of august is michael bay day my respectometer has gone from 75 to 100 for him.

P.S. I didn't even know i had that deviceLOL

ALready own the Rock and Harbor. Still waiting for Bad Boys 2 on BD.

[Darth-Blu]

I think I'll go out today, and pick up Pearl Harbor (among other Blu-Ray Discs). Are there any other Bay flicks that are out on Blu? I've gotta show my support. Thank you Mr. Bay.

I really hope Michael Bay's comments make it into mainstream media... Would be even better if his and Spielberg's views on this were both 'pushed' into the media by their PR people.

It's time for Paramount to see how many bridges they just burned in Hollywood by selling out not just themselves, but all the directors, artists and other talent who trusted them to make reasonable distribution decisions.

[dialog_gvf]

Totally amazing.

So, how much did p!ssing off Michael Bay just cost them?

Shareholders? Was that $150 million one time bribe worth it? You've made how much this year on Transformers?

Gary

P.S. He has only posted a forum message 23 times in 2.5 years, so he really is PISSED. (I sure hope it isn't fake)

Grrrrrrr PARAMOUNT!!! AHHHHHH!!

Stick it to 'em Mike!!

[ReduxInflux]

ha ha. so awesome. bay is the master of the over juiced blockbuster. eat it paramount. i can hang for 18 months. (just imagine what flood of titles we'll be blessed with when the 18 expire. let the countdown begin)

[gamer4eva]

i'll say to whoever wants to buy a michael bay movie wait till the BD buy-a-thon and plzzzzzzzzzzzzz buy it then as the numbers will make paramount etc realise the mistake they made while u guys can buy The Rock as its numbers won't count from europe or Aus as they r all regions

Go Blu-ray! F' Paramount!

[Y3k Bug]

Michael Bay's response has spurred me to import my very first Blu-Ray (I feel so international, hehe). Hopefully more directors will take a stand!

[zombieking]

Good idea!

M. Bay already said previously that he didn't know if he would direct another TF movie.. of course money talks.. Micheal only sequel is Bad Boy 2, he never directed any other movie more than 1 time.

The Kids and the voice of optimus had signed a 3 movies deal previously.. but they'll do like Harry Potter, change the Director...

It's more of the emotional impact of the message. It's good to see him p!ssed off. And I expect Spielberg DOES control a sequel, and we know where he stands.

Not a wise move for Paramount to anger the key people involved with their top money making product of 2007. Not good for now. Not good for the future.

How much could they potentially blow if they lose a Transformers 2? It could make $150 mil look like pocket change.

How about other big projects with Bay and Spielberg?

Let us not forget what happened: Paramount removed choice for customers. HD DVD got nothing new. Absolutely nothing. And may have lost more Spielberg support.

And we'll identify, protest and deny the scab Director who decides to take his place...

Hopefully Michael Bay's statement will speed up the format war and make it end. We already know that MS wants it to continue so that people will be like screw either format and that their download business will pick up. And hopefully the backlash that Paramount/Dreamworks is getting from their backdoor deal from consumers and obviously producers and directors will get them to reconsider their move.

[aygie]

Bay you kick ass.

[sj001]

...and hopefully hinging off of Bay's comments, will be some more detailed feedback from other director's like Coppola and Cameron, or other industry folks that are PO'd about the whole thing.
