You have bad taste in music.
Most of them are shit, but Linkon Park and Green Day have good songs.
I have to side with Drew here.
No more Michael Bay on this site please, I beg of you, unless it is something substantial like a Freudian analysis of The Rock or something to that extent.
The Michael Ban, I think that’s what they called it.
The only good bands there are Green Day(shut up) and Cheap Trick.
This soundtrack is gonna suck.
Who gets more thread time on Auteurs, Michael Bay or Hitchcock, Godard, Ford, Bergman combined?
Cheap whores? Mounds of coke?
$305,522,774 Transformers B.O. cume, 4234 screens. 2 wks in release. Ugh
All of those bands are terrible. They belong in a movie like Transformers. Green Day? Avenged Sevenfold? Jeez…are you 12 years old?
why don’t we beat the crap out of Emmerich,huh?that’ll be a good threat for Bay’s future :P
and we can ring Boll to join us so we can arrange another fighting match!!!
Haven’t seen the movie….I’ll pass on the music.
Drew, I thought those exact words in my head when I read his post.
Reasons to hate Michael Bay? See his filmogrophy.
Reason to hate Michael Bay? Well, I’ve been here just a little under two weeks but I have yet to see a discussion thread on filmmakers like Werner Herzog, John Carpenter, Luis Bunuel, David Cronenberg and countless other filmmakers I love. Bay? Fuck, I’ve counted at least half a dozen on the guy.
michael bay has been killed on this site. no need to start another massacre
Michael Bay and one hundred fucking threads on the guy are becoming a prime reason to hate The Auteurs. What kind of fucking cloistered precious cinephile twit do you have to be, to imagine that a 43-year-old director with eight features to his credit is the architect of Hollywood’s industry in corporate dreck?? Only a semi-literate teen fanboy (and this site is haunted by more than a few, I think) could raise Bay – a worker in Hollywood’s executive-driven industry – to some sort of leadership position in the ruin of American corporate-pop culture. Our “pop” culture has been a vehicle for hawking shit pseudo-cultural products for much longer than Bay’s even been alive.
“Tea Leoni is f!cking HOT! Sh!t is blowing up, and Martin Lawrence & Will Smith are Bad-Ass.” That what I would have told you back in 1995; when I was 13-years-old. 14-years later here, and I can’t sit through “Bad Boys” to save my life. “Bad Boys” is f!cking ridiculous. But I’m not going to waste my time hating Michael Bay & a bunch of 13-year-olds for thinking: Megan Fox is f!cking HOT! Sh!t is blowing up, and these Transforming Cars are Bad-Ass.
wait, wait, wait…
a Freudian analysis of The Rock has substance?
Law, on what planet?
this is 2009, a Freudian analysis of anything is devoid of substance; it would just be for its own sake.
Fine. A Jungian analysis then …
That’s like the worst soundtrack I’ve ever seen.
Whether you like his films or not, the one thing that you can say about Michael Bay is that he is a true auteur. He is the defining creative voice on his projects and his fingerprint is immediately discernible in his scenes.
Why hate Michael Bay?
You either like his films or you don’t, but saving up energy hating someone so tiny is the most pointless exercise. If you like his films watch them, if you don’t then don’t. If you like the bands he used in this soundtrack then what difference does it make? Are they somehow sell-outs for doing something almost every single pop band dreams of doing? This is childish.
all those bands suck
I can’t wait for the day when Michael Bay assumes a different moniker and puts out an art house picture that everyone here loves…only to reveal months later after the DVD release that he directed it the whole time. I can count the suicides now….
^ Same here, wouldn’t that be fantastic? … not the suicides of course. But seriously, if he actually released a good ‘arthouse’ film I would recant everything I’ve ever said about him and encourage others to do the same (even though his earlier films would still suck, heh).
I actually challenge Michael Sajkowicz to elaborate on this phrase: “his [Bay’s] fingerprint is immediately discernible in his scenes.” I’ll give you that he is the defining creative voice in the majority of his films, but he has a discernable fingerprint? Really?
Yeah all those bands deserve to be in a Michael Bay film (yes, including Linkin Park and Green Day – especially them), they are the Michael Bay musical equivalent in terms of pure commercial fodder.
Oh, and there’s a picture of Michael Bay and mounds of coke? heh
I’ll have to agree with Drew, too.
and please: everything that could be said about Michael Bay has already been said on this site. Let’s do something productive for christs sake… its as if the worlds best cooks (slight exaggeration) would get together and do nothing but rant about how they hate McDonalds…
http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/07/20/kid-drinks-gasoline-to-be-more-like-the-transformers/
Shanghai Daily is reporting that a 14-year-old from Yibin in Sichuan, China has been drinking Gasoline for the last five years to become a “valiant fighter” like Optimus Prime. The youngster first saw the animated Transformers tv series when he was nine years old, and was so impressed that be “that he began drinking fuel on a daily basis to “obtain energy” and become a mighty warrior like the Transformers.”
The kids parents scolded the kid after he started smelling the gas in cigarette lighters, and later began to notice that the gasoline in their motorcycle had begin disappearing. They caught the kid in the act and locked the motorcycle away, but the boy started stealing gasoline from unsuspecting neighbors. After the parents learned that their child was drinking two or three bottles a day, they decided to take him to a hospital. The doctor explained to the boy that he would not gain supernatural strength, but instead now has mental disorders from the lead and a strong “gasoline dependence.”
“Since my son start to drink gas, his intelligence quotient dropped sharply and he couldn’t figure out addition and subtraction of sums within 100,” the father said. “Before that, he was a very smart boy, and he could even repair the television. But now he doesn’t know the answer of 7 plus 17.”
I would say that’s proof Michael Bay has actually made someone dumber, but that kid was an idiot to begin with.
I mean, I tried to eat sand when I was three, but I realized my mistake the second it went from cup to mouth.
Not to mention that has absolutely nothing to do with Michael Bay…?
Josh Ryan – You ate sand from a cup?
What’s wrong with just straight out of the sandbox?
John Smith
Michael Bay took Good bands that I liked, and listen to and took a shit on them, by putting them in his movie
His Website ( I refuse to put a link to, because of what I’m about to say ) is basically Michael Bay Porn, It’s all pictures of himself with his million dollar cars, cheap whores, and mounds of coke
