Michael Bay considering directing live-action Transformers.

That the Transformers theme song will be performed by Aerosmith as a power ballad is a given. No word on whether

The final line of the article -- Bay's credits include the two "Bad Boys" movies, "Pearl Harbor," "Armageddon" and "The Rock." -- is standard journalistic code for this guy is Uwe Fucking Boll with a budget.

How exactly can they do that live action? Shouldn't it be CGI-action? Unless they're going to build all those robots...

Never thought I'd live to see the day that Michael Bay would be directing a movie that Steven Spielberg is producing. Weird.

Although I gotta admit: I think "The Rock" is darn solid, "Bad Boys" is watchable, and "Armageddon" is a huge guilty pleasure of mine.

"Pearl Harbor" is shudderingly bad, and I seriously think "Bad Boys 2" is one of the worst action flicks I've ever seen.

Hey Sweinberg! Nifty icon! (honestly....)

I for one have no fear. Bay has a talent of degrading otherwise solid acting work into mechanical artifices. The reverse logic is very plain. Although I think a Nine Inch Nails version of the Transformer theme would be nice....

Best reductionism ever! I applaud you.

Hey, Bay spares no expenses for his films.

See, this is a place where our tastes seriously diverge. I like Bad Boys well enough, but The Rock actually ranks lower on my list than Armageddon (possibly because I like the cast and concept of The Rock better, and am thus more upset about the finished product). I do agree about PH and BB2. Actually, I still think the best thing Bay ever did was that "Aaron Burr" milk commercial.

Did you see the intro to the Ep III trailer when it was shown during the OC? Just give that guy a couple of first generation transformer figures and let him go. Real Live Action Transformers!!!

Okay. Have to run, I think those guys in the white coats over there are coming this w

Unlike Boll, who simply splices shots from the video game into the movie...


Then again, I liked Michael Bay's movies... ::ducks::
