Doesn't seem that odd to me re: Bay, especially with the way he chooses to display conspicuous sexuality. It's always Hot Rod Magazine/expensive strip club stuff, he likes that pin-up girl look but always shies away from actual sex, even in his gruesome, raunchy R rated movies.

That's a movie gag, that's not even a simulacra of a couple loving, it's a bawdy joke about a black dude insecure about having a little dick hooking up with a fat white girl. She likes to get "naughty" in bed but like him, she seems to be all talk. As such there's never been a sex scene that I recall in a Bay movie that even seems like an idealized movie sex scene.

It's definitely recurring, though, he treats the sexuality of many of the characters in many of his films as though they're twelve (for various thematic reasons). Sam Witwicky's parents act like stoned teenagers, which is fine because you can't have two dads AND a mom.

Personally, I like that the film's staunchest defender has to admit how vile and nearly unwatchable the second movie is.

2 has it's moments but I'm not that into robot cooning. 3 is balls to the wall and replaces cyber-minstrelsy with Buzz Aldrin.

Yes, but it triggers me. I'm being flip but I'm less likely to revisit it because I just find myself squirming in my seat to watch it.

sassassin posted:Do you not watch horror movies? There's not a lot of horror movies about Stepin Fetchit. Incidentally, I find sexualized violence really tough to watch in horror movies (though you're oddly more likely to see that in a serious drama than a horror movie nowadays). My point is not that I'm so deeply offended, because I'm used to tone deaf portrayals of black people in movies, my point is that it's just cringingly awful, and not in the compelling King of Comedy sort of way.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:This is how the Twins must be understood. Underneath the cars, they are the same monsters as everyone else, the same machines, but they are clothed in neon colours and gold teeth. They are illiterate and whatever, and that's 'OK' - illiteracy is a real issue - but the Twins don't wear their monstrosity with pride. They disguise it with non-confrontational, non-threatening, tolerable jokiness. While not exactly a sidetrack, the monstrous fanged ape Bamboozled blackface still stands out; Optimus is a nasty subversion of an idealized Real American Hero but that doesn't hit as hard as distasteful stereotypes.

He was one of the foremost cavalier shits about WW1's attrition rate, too. I maintain that his reputation is largely due to his qualities as a writer (and he is impressively grandiloquent) and the British tendency to instinctively genuflect to your social betters.

Milky Moor posted:I find the idea that people can't remember the movies strange. Even when I saw the first one, I could place everything that happened in. The second one was a mess but that's more on account of the bizarre plot. I don't know if my brain is just able to comprehend Bay's frantic style more than most, or if it's just a regurgitated meme. I'm very curious to see the rest of her series. I wondered about this too, but I'm certain she's doing this for a certain audience. These are common Transformers "hatewatching" memes.
