"To punish and enslave" was a bit too on the nose for the police huh?

Cardboard Box A posted:"To punish and enslave" was a bit too on the nose for the police huh? I really liked how, in the first film, that clearly relates to the drugged-up cop who accuses Sam of popping dog medicine. For a supposedly jingoistic super-idiot, Bay really hates cops.

As far as I can tell the "libertarians" calling for small government are often the same ones shouting "support our troops". I think he was hilighting a very particular form of cognitive dissonance that parts of American culture tries very hard to ignore.

It's kind of a mainstay of his films "You two motherfuckers need Jesus. Cover your ears babies"

If you remember back to the first Transformer we ever see, Blackout (the helicopter) is presented as a ghost of those killed in action. The disguise doesn't exactly fool anyone; everyone's on guard because it's this uncanny copy that's silently appeared. Bay cuts to a close-up of the emotionless holographic pilot, and his prominent visor evokes the T-1000's mirrored shades. In a straightforward way, the Decepticons (initially) represent the US military machine as this autonomous monster. The problem is, of course, that Optimus is no different - except that he couches it in rhetoric.

I hope we eventually get Terry's take on Age of Extinction. But I guess that probably won't happen until it's released to DVD?

Today, someone told me that I simply had to check out this awesome Transformers analysis that made everything make sense and, get this, the Autobots are the real villains... That .pdf has really gotten around the place.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Bay would make an amazing Batman Beyond movie. It really would be so much fun, because Terry McGuinness straight up murders criminals (and the Not-Fantastic-Four) and gives zero shits about it, and Bruce has finally reached the point where he also no longer cares about criminals getting killed. Except Mr. Freeze, he had a bad time of it and even Batman feels bad about it. Some Pinko Commie fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Sep 3, 2014 |

I sincerely hope Terry sees the J. Liebesman TMNT and writes lengthy posts about it, because Megan Fox's character is basically a walking essay against the image that has been created about her by film culture.

In related news, Peter Cullen wants Bay to return as director: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Transformers-Star-Actually-Wants-Michael-Bay-Direct-Transformers-5-67362.html Peter Cullen posted:"I have a great deal of respect for him. He generates a great deal of excitement and energy. He's really a hands-on director. My son is a stunt man and worked in Chicago doing a lot of the driving sequences...he said he's a very, very diligent, hands-on guy. He creates a great deal of energy and puts everybody on their toes. I would certainly miss him. I think he's brilliant, his mind is unbelievable. "

In case it wasn't mentioned, it's not the first pony appearance in TF. I believe in the first film, pre-friendship is magic, a focal little girl was carrying one. Michael Bay has things to say about MLP (even before they became a thing again). He's saying, MLP is the girl's version of transformers, but furthermore there is no real difference except with men, the cartoon character changes into a gun. Also holy poo poo that object track is the worst thing I've ever seen. I made stupid internet poo poo in my late teens that looks better than that

The way Galvatron and the human-made transformers transform have no weight to it. Like the whole break down the re-form is a cool idea but when its literally a bunch of floating polygons it looks kinda stupid. If the car "shattered" as it changed shaped to give it this sense that the transformation is forced and painful I could be a lot more forgiving of some of the shoddy effect tracking.

Even the stuff on the wire bridge looked off. I swore I saw some clipping there, but it could've been my eyes tricking me.
