Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Sounds like you're sympathizing with him for having intense diarrhea.
Which may be an adequate description of his films. "Explosive diarrhea".

...that is, it is not steel-working,
I can't believe you're saying steel-working isn't an art!

You think I am joking about the clown thing, but you are wrong. I have been there!
I know you're not, as I read an article about it in the Phoenix a few years back, or something very similar to it - did it used to be in Cambridge or something?

I really liked THE ROCK when it came out, but haven't seen it in years, and I suspect it would be retroactively tainted by SMARMAGEDDON among other items in Bay's "oeuvre".

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Michael Bay is the Thomas Kinkade of the mindless adrenaline set. I have no opinion on whether this makes him an artist or not.

I still love The Rock. I also liked Bad Boys. I think I thought Armageddon was fine. And The Island was better than I had heard, though flawed. And Transformers was pretty awesome.
Rachael Taylor, who was in Transformers, spoke very well of him at WonderCon. And I recall gaining an appreciation for him after reading an article about him in Entertainment Weekly.
Ah, I think it was this one: "Is Michael Bay the Devil?"
It appears he wouldn't really be offended if you said he wasn't an artist, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Transformers cannot be awesome until someone explains it to me, and no one will explain it to me. Why will no one explain things to me? I just want to understand.

I'm with P-C on all but the Transformers bit.
I had such a crush on Optimus Prime as a wee thing, I don't think any live action rendering...without that voice could ever do the character justice in my mind. Not Bay's fault. The over the top emotional manipulation of Bumblebee's quartering? I can blame Bay for that.
