[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

His name is on the poster, you're upset. What you gonna do? Petition to take his name off the poster? or are you not gonna watch it?
For all I care, Micheal Bay could have his name scrawled across megatron's forehead during the movie, or they could use the cast from Harry Potter and I'd still watch it. Why? Because it's freaking giant robots kicking butt!
Face it, everyone watched transformers cartoon because it was transforming giant robots. Same goes for the movie.


btw, I lol'd

Putting an actor or director's name infront of the title of a movie usually shows that those individuals' egos are too big to commit to making something bigger than themselves. So forgive me if I prefer my actos to play characters or directors to commit to making a good movie instead of a $200M semi-sweet asshole sandwich... especially when they've got the opportunity to do something awesome.

It's a world wide release. You'd be crazy not to put your name on it to make yourself known.

Further more, you'd only really want to put your name on it if you know you worked hard on it and are proud of it. Who would do a crap job then want to paste their name on it? Even if it makes $200M+ but is a bad movie, you still wouldn't want to put your name on it because if it really is that bad of a movie then it's likely the end of your career.

Also, what makes you think the producers and actors/actresses are doing a poor job? What's this all based on?? You're re-watching of the original cartoon and comparing it to 3 minutes worth of trailers? and the location of Micheal Bay's name on a freaking poster?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not saying that those that deserve the credit shouldn't be on their movie posters... but placing themselves before the title is arrogant in my book.

To tell the truth, I have no freaking clue who Micheal Bay was. Even after seeing the trailers and posters for Transformers I still didn't know who Micheal Bay was until you started hating on him.

Yes, I saw Armageddon and I enjoyed it. No, I didn't see Pearl Harbor because it wasn't my type of movie, I don't like history war movies, except for Glory.

A lot of movie posters have director and/or actor names before the Movie title. Even some of the best films have them. I'm pretty sure you think some of these are good movies, no?? or are they all arrogant people?



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Woa, I haven't seen it yet and so many people are loving it and it's getting me more excited. (I'm going later today after bbq) I don't usually go to movies first week because it's always so crowded but whatever. Btw, LOL at the GFF banner. I'm guessing it's Encephalon's doing? heheh

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
