Transformers 3 and Real Steel Trailers
Today we’re blessed with not one, but two first looks at some upcoming robot shenanigans. First up is the anticipated — saying highly anticipated seems a stretch, no? — Transformers 3: Dark Side of the Moon. I have to admit, this trailer is done well and actually carries some weight to draw you in. That [...]
Transformers’ Bumblebee Stings DC Police
The plague of shitty DC traffic has officially infected the local filming of Transformers 3: The Dark of the Moon as yesterday yellow Camaro known as Bumblebee in the film t-boned a police SUV responding to an emergency call. Apparently that cop was the only person who wasn’t aware of the filming and felt it prudent to bypass their own department’s barricades. Local reports indicate that the officer was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, though it looks like the Autobot took most of the damage. Welcome to DC!
Megan Fox Compares Michael Bay to Hitler
God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in [...]
Michael Bay Press Conference
Ahead of what is sure to be an insane box office draw by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, director Michael Bay took some time out to answer a few questions about the film.

Michael Bay certainly has his own style of film-making and is the industry’s veritable man-child director running amok with big budgets and even bigger explosions. And while Bay usually does what he does well (which says nothing of it actually being good), he’s overdone it with his latest, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The preceding film in 2007 introduced audiences to Hasbro’s nostalgic toy-line in fitting blockbuster fashion, bringing childhood imaginations to life in a way few thought possible. That right first step, presumably, gave Bay the inclination to crank it up to 11 this time and overload Revenge of the Fallen with so much eye candy and fury you’ll walk out of the theater with ocular cavities and a general amnesia to the preceding two-and-a-half hours. We’ll call the condition “Bay Overdose,” which can be traced back to a number of the film’s afflictions.
