Hey Don V, I’m not saying “hey, here is Uwe Boll thus Michael Bay is a auteur”. I’m saying in the realm of “movies” if you are only considering something that fits into that category Bay is actually not that bad. I’m not saying that he belongs among the greatest directors of all time, or that he deserves an Oscar or anything- I’m just saying that he makes good “movies”.

If you are wondering about the quotation marks, to me there is a certain connotation that goes with the words “film” and “movie”. I mean have you ever heard the term “action film” no, well at least I haven’t, I hear “action movie”. Do you understand what I’m getting at? I myself like both; you seem to be a “film” type guy. (I’m not saying outright that you don’t like movies but it does seem that you hold both to the same standard – thus every time I say something about Bay a movie maker, you come back with Mann, who is more of a “film” guy)


Ha, ha - cool, white big bird, funny...
