They must have taken that quote right after a coke binge. No Transformers 2 for him, this from the guy who made Bad Boys II. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be cranking out the sequels. Don't be a blowhard Bay, realize that this is just about the best movie you've ever made and you're going to milk this cow 'til its tits are dry. Put Megan Fox in a thong for the whole movie next time!

Is this really a bad thing? Not that Bay did a terribly bad job with Transformers, but could a fresh face maybe make the film just that much better? What is JJ Abrams doing in a year? Hell, what about Joss Whedon, Kevin Smith, Sam Raimi, Brett Ratner, or even Alfonso Cuarón?

There's tons of other directors that are even more talented than Bay, so if he wants to be childish and play this game, who cares? It's not like he's the only person in the world who can make a Transformers movie anyways, its big fucking robots kicking the shit out of each other with Megan Fox looking hot as hell, I could direct that!

Hell, what about Joss Whedon, Kevin Smith, Sam Raimi, Brett Ratner, or even Alfonso Cuarón?

Brett Ratner should not be allowed to make movies.

Micheal Bay Needs to shut the !@#$ up and pull the stick out of his ass.
...and Curtis your a moron.
Brett Ratner is the
WORST FUCKING DIRECTOR ON THE PLANET.
HE KILLED THE X-MEN FRANCHISE.

I was just saying, theres lots of other options out there. Brett Ratner, though not my first pick (a spot I definitely would not have put Bay in), is not a terrible director. As for him killing the Xmen franchise with X3, even the best director can't make shitty writing into a decent movie. It's not like he wrote the thing, so why should all the blame be on him? The biggest problem with the flick was the story, I actually thought the cinematography, direction and flow were very well done, regardless if the movie was brainless and completely ruined what the films had setup before them.

From Bay's Blog:

"Last night at dinner I was having dinner with three Blu-Ray owners, they were pissed about no Transformers Blu-Ray and I drank the kool aid hook line and sinker. So at 1:30 in the morning I posted - nothing good ever comes out of early am posts mind you - I over reacted. I heard where Paramount is coming from and the future of HD and players that will be close to the $200 mark which is the magic number. I like what I heard.

As a director, I'm all about people seeing films in the best quality possible, and I saw and heard firsthand people upset about a corporate decision.

So today I saw 300 on HD-DVD, it rocks!

So I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2!

Michael Bay"

That didn't last long.

Yeah, I just read that.
