He probably wrote the script on a napkin while he was waiting for his lunch.

I can so picture that!

*michael bay writing* Transformers 3, by me!

scene 1: boring hyooman stuff
scene 2: more hyooman stuff
scene 4: ooh ooh! big fight with big robots and explosions and stuff!
scene 5: more explosions and giggly body parts (remember to memo megan)

Teh end!

I'm guessing a Actors strike, is going to hit between scenes 2 and 4 ...

Anyway hope, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are back as writers.

preys for better film then number 2!!! please please please!!

Don't blame Bay for the script - that's Orci and Kurtzman's department. Hopefully he won't _mess_ with the script as much as he did with ROTF. As Ben Yee said, Bay's not a bad director for Transformers, but he really should just stick to his job as a director and let the writers do the writing.

Great, can't wait until the next Muppet Show movie, oops, sorry I meant to say Transformers movie.

Oiiiiii are you knocking the Muppets?

That's not cool, they've given us countless hours of well scripted entertainment, a veritable lost art by todays standards.

I certainly can't wait for the next Muppet Show movie, I hear that guy from "How I met your Mother" is scripting it.

But I'm getting way of topic, now back to getting upset about a movie that doesn't exsist yet.

Great... well, the important part has been worked out - the release date... nevermind about that silly little pointless thing called a script!


This is terrible news...

When will this pain end? I couldn't be less excited about a TF movie if I tried... and I'm a fan!

Well, that's kinda the point tho isn't it... I mean, on one hand you say don't blame Bay for the script, but he's the director... his little "additions" (such as Devastator's balls, for example) were his idea. And, IMO, these additions were what really made ROTF one of the worst films ever made.

So... who are we supposed to blame?

ROTF was a classic example of everybody passing the buck when it came to blame. In the end, Bay is the director and the buck HAS to stop with him!!! If it's a great film - he must get accolades. If it's a crap film - he must get criticism!!

You reminded me of this gem -

What if George Lucas directed Lord of the Rings?

The best bit (with relevance to this discussion) is between 1:20 and 1:45. Truthfully, the whole things is worth a look, and I'm actually a bit terrified at how many parallels there are between mock-Lucas (and real-Lucas too) and Bay.

Well, at least you can't be disappointed.

Unfortunately Bay doesn't do that.
