Transformers

In case anyone forgot, the original Transformers cartoon had humans in it that interacted with the Autobots much like Sam does. There were even Transformers later on that took human form too.

Actually it's more about other things she has said.. like I said, good thing for her that she's hot.

I don't think you even bothered to read the article:

"Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in 'Armageddon.' Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did 'Transformers' -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from 'Bad Boys'," he points out.

He's so damn full of himself it's disgusting.

Do you think any of these stars actually attribute Michael Bay to their success? Somehow I doubt it. And didn't Ben Affleck co-write "Good Will Hunting" ? He's pretty much self made. Nicolas Cage co-starred in one of the most popular films of the 80's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Martin Lawrence started out with his own television show as did Will Smith.

The guy's an idiot, and Megan Fox was right. His movie wasn't about the script. And let me tell you something else.. this is the internet age. Ambitious, hot pieces of ass will become famous with nothing more than initiative. That's all it takes. Look at that chick from the youtube videos (lonely girl whatever), Vida Guerra, etc. They're all getting their 15 minutes. The only difference is, Fox will take advantage of it, because Fox is 10X better looking than the average.

I just about fell off my chair laughing when he mentioned Will Smith on his list of discoveries.

I guess Bay doesn't think very many people had watched "Independence Day" the year before. (Never mind "Fresh Prince" like 5 years earlier.)

you're thinking of Bad Boys two. Bad boys came out in 95. Independence Day came out in 96. Mike Bay was the first director to cast will smith in an action movie as a "bad ass"

It's true. Look it up on his imdb page.

Dont get me wrong. Im no bay lover, but he's not lying about that.

Maybe, but it isn't like he "discovered" him. Or made his career take off. Guy already had his own show, and was doing his music thing even before that. Hell, the guy was basically bankrupt until Fresh Prince if you believe his wiki page, so you can thank that show for his success, or he probably would have gone into something else. In fact, Bad Boys might have come out first, but it's hardly considered one of the best flicks of all time. Independence Day was without a doubt the movie that sky rocketed his career, and Men in Black came out about the same time.

If Bay hadn't cast him in Bad Boys, you can still almost guarantee someone would have taken a chance on him.

You're right I was thinking of BB#2.


But we all know Smith isn't a star because of BB#1. He became a star because of Fresh Prince, and then he really kicked the door down with ID4.




Maybe next year Michael Bay will discover Hugh Jackman or Kate Blanchett.
