Ask me, Michael Bay, a question!
Hi! Welcome to all my adoring fans. I'm Michael Bay, acclaimed film director and producer, co-founder of The Institute, co-owner of Platinum Dunes production house, and proud owner of two bullmastiffs. It has come to my attention that, through the many thousands of letters I receive each year from the loyal fans of my films, you would all desire to have those burning questions answered and to have a direct talk with your favorite director, me! Michael Bay.
Well, now is your opportunity! Twitter is great for communicating with my fans and audience, but you can only say so much in 140 characters. With the launch of our new platform here at TWC, you now have unlimited space to devote time and effort to pensive and thoughtful reviews of and questions about my long list of films. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can and in a reasonably quick fashion, but as you know, I'm a busy man!
In fact, I'd like to take this opportunity to promote two new films I've directed or produced, respectively, and have been released this year: Transformers: Age of Extinction and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm confident that, even though only one of my films has ever won an Oscar (Pearl Harbor, for the Sound Editing category), these two new films of mine are bound to sway the more critical bunch judging them at the Oscars next year. I implore everyone to go and see these movies in theaters near you, because if you're nostalgic for your childhood dreams come to life on the big screen, they won't fail to disappoint. That's a guarantee from Michael Bay you can count on.
For those of you unfamiliar with my films (if that's the case, come on, where have you been living, underneath a rock? huh huh, huh huh), I'd like to take just a small moment to share with you some of my impressive work in cinematography. I'm sure the quality of the works selected here will get you excited to see more films from me, Michael Bay!
Of course, Michael Bay isn't only known for high-speed action and special effects. My films are also loved for their hard-hitting drama and the good chemistry and realism my actors have brought to the screen. Don't listen to the sensationalism of some boo-hooers and hacks in Hollywood who make a living off my films by simply criticizing them. Easier said than done, I say to them! They ignore the immense abilities my actors, from Ben Affleck to Jon Voight, have shown on various projects with their breathtaking dialogue. I mean, just look at the raw emotion and convincing performance graciously given here by Affleck.
Of course, when actors like Affleck question the logic or premise of an entire movie like Armageddon, I, Michael Bay, have to take them down a peg or two by telling them to shut their pie hole and act how I tell them! I mean, come on! I'm the director! Don't question me. You're just an actor. What do you know about NASA, astronauts, drillers, or how we'd go about handling the apocalypse?
