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.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on 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.

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.

My personal experience of Bay is limited to the Meat Loaf video. I'm okay with that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Of what he's directed, I've seen The Rock. Produced, I saw the new Friday the 13th (KBD got it - it had Paddywhack).

On top of it all, Bay has never gotten one dime from me for his (directed or produced) movies. I saw "The Rock" on TNT and for "The Island" I received movie passes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was thinking that if your sibling got sorted into a different house you could hang out in each other's common rooms. imdb says that in the movies, Padma and Parvati are both Griffindors. aw.

Because books.
I have stupid love for The Rock.
I think I actually did think he'd done Con Air, too, which is another guilty pleasure. Nothing says fun like Steve Buscemi as a twisted serial killer who plays Barbies with little girls.
