The story and the acting are not what I go to see a Michael Bay film for. Giant robots destroying Chicago? Yes, must see this on the big screen.
Don't I get a cookie?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The lure of constant sensory battery is not usually enough to get me to buy a ticket, and neither Shia nor the chick are my idea of teh hott. I'd rather watch Inception. Again. And again. And again...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Giant robots destroying Chicago? Yes, must see this on the big screen.
For three HOURS, though?

I'm sure it could use some editing. But yeah. I'll probably go on a Monday matinee.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know what I realized? I have only seen 2 Michael Bay directed movies:
"The Rock" and "The Island."
Apparently if the movie is directed by Bay and does not begin with "the", I will not see it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, if only you'd seen The Con Air or The Bad Boys or The Transformers !

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's funny, le nubian. I had to check imdb to see what of his I'd seen, and seems to be just Bad Boys, Armageddon, The Rock and the first Transformers (which I hated. I like to see explosions as much as the next person, but something about the way the robots were rendered did not work for me at all). I guess I like his earlier work?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I loved it on Entourage when Vince Chase goes in to find out about Aguaman 2 and Ari's all "with Michael Bay directing," and Vince makes ice cream headache face. I'm kind of pissed at Shia L. for how bad that last Indiana Jones flick was. Woof.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Con Air wasn't a Michael Bay flick, it just felt like one.
I saw The Rock, Armageddon, and the first Transformers movie. Bay's gotten enough of my money for one lifetime.
