'Beats Rusty with his spell-checker' Worser?? Sounds like a british anal probe.

Of course there is worse than Bay, but I don't want to list all of Corman's films because I'm trying to forget them and be able to sleep at night.

I did it just to piss you off?? Oh Rusty, get the fuck over yourself, you rarely, if ever, enter my thoughts.
Even then it's usually just to laugh at your ridiculous nature and lack of English skills.

You can offer up any number of other sacrificial lambs, but the fact of the matter is that Michael Bay tops each year of the worst movies because his movies fucking suck.

Michael Bay is a sociopathic 14 year old trying to fit in to the real world by delivering up what he thinks passes for real cinema.

His movies are overlong, overindulgent, over-edited, completely vapid wastes of the film they were burned on, full of ridiculously empty characters, inane dialog, and explosions in the place of ejaculation.

He offers up a barren wasteland of character and plot and tries to make up for it by throwing in every cliche his vast amount money can buy; fast cars, hot women, quick cuts, big bangs.
In the end it's all empty sound and fury signifying nothing. His movies are without redemption.
Big. Loud. Stupid.

He is a child trying to impress a world full of adults, and failing miserably.

I don't even understand why I'm trying to explain any of this to you, the fact that you're still defending Bay makes me wonder if there's something missing in your brain.

So what isnt that what most movies are today anyway, besides sometime there a time when just want to watch something with big explosions no matter how stupid there. I would say none of the Michael Bay's are great American movies, except the Rock, but there a time we would love to see something stupid just because we feel like it.
