I kinda feel sorry for Michael Bay, he clearly wants to do something else but he's now the 'Transformers Guy' who nobody is willing to hire. I guess thats his punishment for his part in these travesties of filmmaking.
Maybe that's why he set up a movie company, so that he can still sit back and produce (fund) movies, without having to worry about the non-Transformers movies he directs doing good or bad.
