It's always been about the people. And robots have been a metaphor for something. And there doesn't seem to be a metaphor now. It's literal destruction....

If you look at Transformers, Transformers is a movie version of a toy, which came out of a series about robots, which was aimed at children, and then suddenly it's a thing that's skewed towards adults, but it is just toys fighting. It's all it is. And it doesn't really say anything about us or the world. And in my experience of it, it's just mind-numbingly dull.

(If you feel so inclined, you can read the rest of the interview here.)

This was all after attendees ranked "Star Trek Into Darkness" as the worst of the Star Trek movies, during a Star Trek fan convention in Las Vegas earlier this month (link). Talk about lashing out...

Oh Simon, I thought you were great until now. Now you are just another person who was really cool and creative, until you got too big, inflating your ego, and now is bitter that the populace is not in love with your latest work because you think that should now happen as a matter of course, so you are rubbishing the work of others. Sigh, it was bound to happen. So many of these guys are great until they make the big time.
