I really liked THE ROCK when it came out, but haven't seen it in years
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.
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.

There's these alien robots that turn into cars and trucks and things explode.
What's not to get?

Wait, are you saying that Prime's voice was different from the cartoon to the movie?
Because Peter Cullen did the voice of Prime for both.
Optimus Prime is Eeyore???
Well hell, I knew he was Jewish. And a grandmother!
"Don't mind me, I'll just live in the wet."
"Don't mind me, I'l just be hungry."
"Don't mind me, I'll find something to do."
is there such a thing as bad art?
That is, if it's bad, does it count as art?
If so, doesn't that render the label "art" as practically useless?
I'll risk a definition of "art" as "anything created for nonfunctional purposes." By that definition (and I won't say it's definitive), anything that's intended to be nonfunctional and (unintentionally) poorly executed counts as "bad art."

I didn't know that...which says something about how different my ears are now than they were then...or the resonance has taken on epic proportions in my memory.
Not that I didn't like the voice in the film, it just didn't make me all wibbly like it used to.
I'm just old and crusty I guess.
