Grim, are you stalking me?

j/k, but we always seem to comment on the same sites. Something tells me our Google Reader’s look an awful lot alike.

I really don’t see an issue with this. It’s funny and definitely post-worthy, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing – just an interesting one.

Now what he’s done to the Transformers franchise? THAT’S a bad thing.

..and yes, I realize how ignorant it is of me to make that comment without having seen the movie, but fuck it, if you can’t be ignorant on the internet where can you be?

God know he reused a hell of a lot of camera angles and shot. Why not CG to boot.

I have no problem that he did this either. It’s only a fucking shot of the movie. I am sure he’ll recycle the orbiting shots of the pentagon in future films too since he is the best at it

Bay also used a bunch of actors from The Island too, but no one is bitching about that. The fact that he made a 150mil movie look like a 300mil movie is what amazes me.

When I saw the headline of the story, I thought it couldn’t be but looks like he’s done just that! I guess this was an attempt to save a little more money for more robot FX.
