Posted June 18, 2009 Bay Leaves Transfomers Director has had enough of franchise.by Chris Tilly, IGN UK UK, June 18, 2009 - With Transformers mania currently gripping the globe, we have some shocking news for fans of the franchise - Michael Bay has had enough. According to a report on WENN.com (reported on IMDB), Bay feels that with forthcoming sequel Revenge of the Fallen, he has take the series as far as he can. "After the three-and-a-half years I've spent making these movies, I feel like I've had enough of the Transformers world," he explained. "I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions." - M. Phillips/WireImage.comA Michael Bay film without explosions? Say it ain't so! And in a sly dig at journalists, Bay added. "It's easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They [the critics] review me before they've even seen the movie." Well IGN waited till we'd seen the film before passing judgement, and gave Revenge of the Fallen a solid three star review.

Posted June 18, 2009 Something without explosions[/Quote] hah! likely story, mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2009 Interesting, so I'm guessing this film will be far too cramed with story elements he's envisioned, because [as with everything these days!!] three films were planned weren't they? They'll be a third no doubt... might be good to see someone elses take on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2009 Has anyone seen that episode of the Simpsons where Bart gets a fizzy drink and puts it in some automatic shaker thing (and I think later used it to bomb Skinner)...well thats what I imagine Bay puts his cameras in. Its just horrific filming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) The first Transformers film was good, ROTF will be alot better, seems to be focusing on the Tranformers a lot more from the trailers i've seen. But nothing can touch the animated movie, specially this scene. Edited June 18, 2009 by lostmario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2009 But nothing can touch the animated movie, specially this scene. I tried watching that again recently, I was almost bored to tears I am saddened to say. I think it was the bullshit "family" stuff which ruined it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2009 I tried watching that again recently, I was almost bored to tears I am saddened to say. I think it was the bullshit "family" stuff which ruined it for me. Were you a fan of the original series? I think the big deal with the movie was how they killed off most of the original Autobots and Decepticons, oh and introduced Unicron of course. I was a massive fan as a kid, had all the toys (still do, stored away adding value each year) so it was the best thing ever for me. Still watch the movie once a year or so, for nostalgia. Apparently if they do a third movie, they want to have Unicron in it. Probably go the way of Fantastic Four 2 with Galactus and show him as one big massive cloud.

Posted June 18, 2009 I know 'The Touch' means alot to all you Transformers fans, but I have to say I hate it! It seems SO out of place in the film whenever I hear it... as though they're trying to take everything to seriously. It just doesn't seem to fit to me, just the wrong type of music.

Posted June 18, 2009 when i watched the whole "the touch scene" in cornwall with mates last summer, i was doubled up laughing. i mean, the music, with a truck running over everything in existance? awsome. my friend described the film as a "steaming pile of wank" it is, but in the best way ever.

Posted June 20, 2009 I am in physical pain, on account of the fact that I havn't heard of this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092026/ Paul Plot Paul is about a pair of geeky British friends who travel to a comic-book convention on the West Coast; unlike their other films, this one has Mr. Frost as the dominant one and Mr. Pegg as the sidekick. Cast Seth Rogen Simon Pegg Jason Bateman Bill Hader Sigourney Weaver Jane Lynch Nick Frost Erm....need. Like....mega need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2009 How have they done achieved those proportions for HBC's Queen of Hearts?... Have they built up around her head?

Posted June 22, 2009 I watched the Disney film a few times as a kid, it was one of the few Disney films that I didn't like. I understand that it was adapted from Carroll's book (which I haven't read), but I just found it a bit... disturbing at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
