Michael Benjamin Bay (born February 17, 1965) is an American filmmaker. He is known for directing big-budget action films characterized by fast cutting, stylistic visuals and extensive use of special effects, including frequent depiction of explosions. His films, which include the science fiction disaster thriller Armageddon (1998), the epic war film Pearl Harbor (2001) and the science fiction action films in the Transformers film series (2007–present), have grossed over US$5 billion worldwide. He is co-founder of commercial production house The Institute, a.k.a. The Institute for the Development of Enhanced Perceptual Awareness. He is co-chair and part-owner of the digital effects house Digital Domain. He co-owns Platinum Dunes, a production house which has remade horror movies including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010).
Despite his considerable success at the international box office, Bay's work is generally held in low esteem by film critics, and his name is often used pejoratively among art-house circles. While films such as The Rock (1996) and Transformers (2007) received generally positive reviews, his three sequels in the Transformers film series were all panned.
"In the Pearl harbor crisis, there was a wholly American, selfless response, down to how the nurses dealt with the attack, using their stockings to dress wounds, their lipstick to mark who would live or die. Imagine that. That is what hooked me."
"Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism."
"It's... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. It's the worst thing you'll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again."
"Do you know what directors go through? It's just hell. Like, why do I work so hard - to think I'm only going to see this movie five times and then never see it again 'cause I'm so sick of it? What is it worth, honestly?"
"Sometimes, we just laugh about it knowing that this is a scene they will talk about in 'Premiere' magazine because of its flaws in continuity. I think you have to make movies for the general public and not the details. When you get hung up on continuity, you can't keep the pace and price down. Most people simply consume a movie and they are not even aware of these errors."
"The psychological root behind this competitive streak is that I was an athlete when I was young and took sports really seriously. I look at directing as a sporting event. It's a race, a marathon. It's great when it clicks - which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel."
"I'm at that point in my life where I definitely want to get married soon. I've got my dogs as surrogates, but I'm ready for kids.'"
"[On this day, he took meetings with lawyers.] I met with Michael Bay today to try to get him back, to get a movie going with him. ... The Island."
"When you're walking on the set, sometimes you are alone in the main cell block, and you're seeing Al Capone lived here, ... It's just bizarre."
"I can be very reserved about things. My business side isn't shy. I can be like a general. But I've got a shy side. I'm also a lot deeper than people think, and a lot more sensitive. But I don't let people in too much.'"
"I'm done with effects movies for now. When you do a movie like 'Transformers,' it can feel like you're doing three movies at once - which is tiring."
"It's great that I get accused of not being politically correct. People need to take themselves less seriously. This world is so screwed up as it is, we've all got to relax a bit more."

Crosshairs Originally Looked Like Michael Bay in Transformers 4?
#shorts #transformers
Crosshairs Originally Looked Like Michael Bay in Transformers 4? 1 of the biggest complaints against Transformers 4 was the character designs. Fans of the original Alien like aesthetics didn't like how they were changed to look more like humans. It was a design choice that didn't quite grow on the fandom. But fans should consider themselves lucky that we got this particular design for Crosshairs. Because apparently it could've been far worse if they concept artists with his originally intended design. Michael Bay has received a lot of backlash for most of his creative input in the Transformers movies. Funny enough the original concept art for Crosshairs depicts him with facial features very similar to Michael Bay's. His arrogant personality further suggests the posib...

Which prevented Crosshairs from being the most hated.

Firstly, I'd like to say THANK YOU!!! I have officially crossed the 1000 Subs threshhold!! And also, I appreciate all of the new and current viewers to my little upstart channel! This foray into the world of content creation and YouTube has been a labor of love and fortitude, and as terrifying as it has been to start, your affirmation and encouragement has emboldened me.
Secondly this film was so much fun! I am super bummed out that I missed this feature in theatres...This Jason was scary - the opening flashback sequence had me worried about the tone, but as soon as the film segued into the present day, I was hooked - the acting, music, characters and horror set pieces all hooked me in. I will definitely be adding this film to my annual Halloween rewatch list for years to come!
