Look, the only reason I’d be stoked about a TRANSFORMERS 2 is that I want the gang involved to get it right this time. No more urine jokes (there were at least 2 in the 1st one I believe), no more screeching comedians, no more slam-your-head-against-the-wall baffoonery picked out of a sitcom writer’s trashbin – let’s make this thing exciting and intense! And no, 30 minutes of jumbled, 500 cuts-per-minute idiocy doesn’t count…
That said, when Variety announced today that Paramount and Dreamworks were officially moving forward with TRANSFORMERS 2 – with a June 26, 2009 release date eyed – they mention that Michael Bay is still likely in the drivers seat, news that kicks my heart in the groin.
Steven “why am I involved with Michael Bay again?” Spielberg will probably be exec-producing once more, and will hopefully take a more hands-on approach… As in, his hands wrapped around Bay’s throat for making the medium of film a nausea-inducing monstrosity.
Hey, what the hell is Michael Bay doing with my girlfriends?!
