The Twins are on Bay

I personally didn’t find “the twins” that offensive when I was watching TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. I thought they were annoying and completely unnecessary and they killed scenes all by themselves and if they didn’t kill a scene they only let it survive through an immense suck-based form of brinkmanship. But yes, I can see the argument. Anyway, turns out they were all Michael Bay:

Switching back to Transformers, I heard that the gold tooth was Bay’s idea, but do you have anything to say to people who found The Twins offensive?

Orci: Number one, we sympathize. Yes, the gold tooth was not in the script. That’s true.

Kurtzman: It’s really hard for us to sit here and try to justify it. I think that would be very foolish, and if someone wants to be offended by it, it’s their right. We were very surprised when we saw it, too, and it’s a choice that was made. I think if anything it shows you that we don’t control every aspect of the movie.

Were you offended by them?

Kurtzman: I wasn’t thrilled. I certainly wasn’t thrilled.

Look, I just didn’t like the film. I’m not saying that if you liked it you’re an idiot or anything, and I’m certainly not some art-house Nazi, because I absolutely loved the first one and I have enjoyed worse. But it just felt like the only thing I hated about the first one (the goofy humor) was blown up and used a hundred percent more in this one. I also found it extremely difficult to see who was hurting who and when, whenever the robots fought. I also hated specific plot points that I won’t go into and spoil for people, but they all revolved around Megatron. Anyway, I’m saying all of this because I don’t want us to get into the same arguments we got into yesterday. Let’s all be friends!
